When asked to define what happiness is, everyone will probably give different answers. Some people perceive wealth as the meaning for happiness, some consider a successful career as the path to happiness, and still others may treasure family ties.

As for me, I hold the view that happiness comes from a balance in life. Happiness for me should include a peaceful family, a stable job, a healthy body, and a moderate salary. In my opinion, happiness shouldn't concentrate only on one special aspect. Instead, it comes from a combination of every aspect in life. Meanwhile, no amount of happiness can be achieved without hard- working.

The reasons are as follows. As the old saying goes, "No pains, no gains". Not having strived for your goal, you won't treasure your present life. Every aspect of happiness demands effort, whether it is a good job, healthy body, or a peaceful family. True happiness goes along with hard-working. They always inter weave tightly. On this account, I think my true happiness——a balance in life——is combined with my hard-working.
