My name is Bruce Hall. I'm happy to being your English teacher. First, I'd like to tell you

something about myself. I was born in Paris which the winter is cold. So I went to a warm place—Egypt and lead camels for tourists under the pyramids. Before some time，I went to study at California State University，with the money I had earned it in Egypt. Late，I went to Salt Lake City and became high school teacher. It is five years since I came to China as a teacher of English. My classes are designed special to meet the needs of each student whether they want to prepare for various exam or generally learn to speak English. So if you have any difficulties in learning English，please don't hesitate to come to me.

Does being rich make you happy? Many studies on happiness give negative answers. Here are some points in being happy.

Basic Human Needs Must Be Met

People whose basic needs for shelter, clothing and food are not met will find it very difficult to feel happy. Of course，there are exceptions，but for most of us，we can only be happy once our basic needs are met.

The Joneses Cannot Be Escaped

People's happiness is not determined by how much they have, but by how much people around them have. So, we tend to feel happy once our basic needs are met and we have more than the people surrounding us.

This means that while keeping up with the Joneses could be destructive if we let it go too far, it is also part of human nature to want to feel at least on the same level，financially，as those surrounding us.

You Should Escape The Rat Race

We should know the importance of staying out of the rat race. So yes, you need to work hard，get the education you need to land a good job and work long enough and hard enough to get to a place where you can easily meet your basic needs. What are basic needs? For most middle or upper middle class Americans, basic needs are not very basic anymore.

For most of us，once our basic needs have been met, happiness is achieved when we engage in activities we like，spend time with friends and family and stay active. Making money for the sake of making money does not make people happy.

Ideally, these questions should be answered when you're still young and just starting out. Don't wait until your midlife crisis to realize that half your life has passed you by and you're still unhappy.
