 “High income is not as good as high age ,and high age is not as good as high spirits.”

Generally speaking , the rich are happier because money can purchase goods and services and it is the consumption(消费) of these materials that increases one’s enjoyment of life . Especially nowadays , money seems to be one thing that drives the people around . “Human beings live for money while birds die for food.”—a well-known Chinese saying is quite quotable(适宜引用的)to interpret the present society. Some people try every means to make money at the expense of others interests . These people harm others to benefit themselves. They think the more money they make , the happier they will be.

In addition to money, people’s happiness was affected by other factors. High age is what many Chinese are dreaming of . Longevity(长寿) is the very term that the people often use to pray for their dears and elders. So there are many books and theories that introduce the way of living longer. Dancing , jogging , dieting , even singing and shouting together are said to do good to one’s health.

Nevertheless , some people think that high spirits is vital to the quality of one’s life . If you are in high spirits , you’ll find everything pleasing and comfortable in life: warm sunshine , blue sky, white clouds , happy birds ,comfortable breeze , sweet smiles ,and so on . You seem to have the friends across the world. Your life will be happy at every moment. You will have a good health and can make more money if you live longer.
