Happiness is what we all try hard to find and keep. Being happy often means feeling satisfied， feeling joyful， and having the sense that your life is meaningful. Nobody is happy all the time， but some persons are easier to be satisfied than others. Studies show that happiness has little to do with materialistic needs， goods， or wants， or high achievement； it boils down to your outlook on life， the quality of your relationships， and so on. Being happy is even good for your health. Read on to learn how to be happier.

9. Don’t compare （不要与人比较）
Comparing only brings sadness. “Why don’t I look like her？” “Why am I not rich like him？” Questions like these do nothing good to us. Learn to accept yourself as you are.
