To solve problem, to taste happiness
“What is happiness?” is a cliché topic. Everyone has a different definition to the true meaning of happiness. For Franklin Roosevelt, “happiness is not the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” For Elbert Einstein, “if you want to live in a happy life, tie it to the goal, not the people or the things.” Although the two great men grant different definitions to happiness, there is something in common, that is, happiness derives from the capacity to solve problems. I believe that this is true.
There is no denying that life is full of problems. Let’s take environmental pollution for example. Pollution poses a great threat to our existence. Fortunately, this public hazard has drawn our greatly attention and many effective measures are being taking to solve it. In fact, now the public are benefiting more and more from pollution prevention and control. We can enjoy clear air, health food and beautiful scenes again. Isn’t this happiness?
All in all, indeed, equipped with the ability to cope with problems should suppose to be happiness. In other worlds, in the middle of problems lies happiness.

解決問題，品味幸福
“何為幸福？”這是一個老生常談的話題。每個人對幸福的真正含義都有不同的定義。對羅斯福而言，“幸福并不只是擁有財富，真正的幸福在于取得的成就和創造帶來的激動。”而對愛因斯坦來說：“如果一個人想要生活幸福，他就應該寄希望于目標而不是人或事。”盡管兩位偉人對幸福賦予了不同的定義，但是有一點卻是共同的，那就是，幸福來源于解決問題的能力。我非常認同這一點。
無可否認，生活中總是充滿問題。以環境污染為例。環境污染極大的威脅了我們的生存。幸運地是，這一公害已經引起了人們的極大關注并且諸多有效措施被用來處理該問題。事實上，如今人們從治污當中得到越來越多的好處。我們可以重新享受清新的空氣、健康的食物和美麗的風景。這難道不是一種幸福嗎？
總之，具備解決問題的能力就是一種幸福。換言之，幸福總在問題中。
