I personally believe happiness is the most important aspect of my life, because it is the biggest strength that encourages me to stand up again when I get in trouble. Also, it is the force that reminds me the reasons to study, read books, and to motivate myself. I feel the greatest happiness when I feel accomplished with my works. Like my belief, people need to possess their strong believes that would support them whenever they get into troubles. People will become more mature and wise through the obstacles that they will get.
