School assignment: Happiness

Happiness is the feeling of joy when something you want to happen really happens, like when your parents get you the phone of your dreams for your birthday or when your favourite football club wins the league. That is what I think of the term ' happiness'.
There are many things that can make people happy. It may be that the girl or guy of their dreams agrees to go out with him or her. It can be that you have struck the lottery. It can be that you scored an A1 for all your tests. Most people do everything they can to make this things happen, so they will be happy.
However, they should think first if this thing is even worth it. If that girl or guy does go out with you, how do you know he would not dump you for another person they see? And all you get in the end is a broken heart. You can also buy a million lottery tickets and you can still no strike the lottery. even when you do, you would have spent more on the lottery tickets than you have gained. Also, once you strike it, you will feel like buying another ticket as in your mind, you are thinking that it is very easy to win. You will probably then keep buying until you use up all the money you won.
However, happiness is also important. If you are sad or ashamed, you will not feel motivated to work harder and strive to achieve your goal. In your mind, you are already thinking that you cannot do it even though you have only tried once or twice or have not even tried at all.
You actually have control over your happiness. You should try not to be too attracted to something, such as your dream girl or guy. This way, if something happens and you two break up or something, the impact on your happiness will be much lesser and it will be easier for you to pick yourself and work harder.
