Many people run after goals that they hope will make them happy，but happiness is not always the final result.So how does one decide which goals will end in personal happiness and which will not？How do the things in life affect personal happiness?
The most important thing is people’s attitude toward life，which can greatly affect their personal levels of happiness and satisfaction with life.
Psychologists have known for some time that optimism is a good way to fight against unhappiness.It’s probably no secret that optimistic people are considered to be much happier people than pessimists.There are specific characteristic features optimists have (pleasant ways of thinking)，that bring them more success，greater health，increased life satisfaction, and other good things.If you became an optimist，it can mean that you became a very happy person，despite your circumstances，and it can actually bring more things into your life to be happy about.“If you are optimistic and you think life is going to get better，it will become a selffulfillment prediction.” says one of the scientists.“Happy people manage to look on the bright side，even if they meet big problems on their way.”
Positive psychologists believe that people can learn how to become happy and that everyone can teach themselves to see a half empty glass as half full.All they have to do is to spend time thinking about all the things that have gone right for them，rather than complaining what has gone badly.But people who are depressed usually think and worry about something that went wrong in the past.

Harmless fun and bullying(欺负) separated by a very thin line.This line is crossed on a daily basis，without being known.This full extent of this line crossing isn’t often felt until much later.Blind eyes are often being turned，and the problem is becoming more and more serious.
Harmless fun occurs when nobody has hurt feelings and laughter follows.There is no harm in the fun，and all people can enjoy the joking.Bullying occurs when someone is looked down upon.Not every joke is funny,and sometimes we can cruelly hurt somebody without our knowledge.
The most difficult part of the line between harmless fun and bullying is the simple fact that everybody has their own line，and even it’s different from time to time，depending on a certain character.Everybody has their own limit of tolerance，and harmless fun that is close to bullying usually gather up the bottled emotions that are ready to break out.No matter how strong the friendships are，words can treat them apart from the root，destroying the very foundation that they have been built upon.
The key is that the line should never be crossed.Harmless fun has its time and place，since laughter is the best medicine for what worries you，but it should never be taken to the extreme，where someone is feeling down.
The best possible way to ensure that you aren’t the one responsible for linecrossing is to think before you speak.We should first try to understand before we try to be understood.If the words you feel like saying to someone aren’t the words you would want to say to your parent，brother，child，or good friend，then chances are that you should think of something else to say.
Saying things behind someone else’s back is no good，either，because those words often find their target finally，and usually the comments have been misunderstood and the intention，while perhaps harmless，tends to turn towards bullying.
