One effective way of destroying happiness is to look at something and focus on even the smallest fault. It’s like looking at the tiled (铺瓦的) ceiling and concentrating on the space where one tile is        .
Once I heard a bald man said, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.” Once you’ve        what your missing tile is, explore whether acquiring it will        make you happy. Then do one of the three things: get it, replace it with a different       , or forget about it and       the tiles in your life that are not missing.
We all know people who have had a relatively       life, yet are essentially unhappy, while people who have suffered a great deal generally remain happy.
The first       is gratitude. All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to       , but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
The second secret is awareness. We should        that happiness is a byproduct (副产品) of something else. The most obvious        are those pursuits ( 追求) that give our lives purpose---anything from studying insects to playing baseball. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are       to experience.
Finally, the belief that something permanent goes beyond us and that our       has some larger meaning can help us to feel happier. We need a spiritual faith, or a philosophy of life. Whatever your philosophy is, it should      this truth: if you choose to find the       in every situation, you will be blessed, and if you choose to find the awful, you will be cursed. As for happiness itself, this        depends on your decision to make.
