一、幸福1Happiness, as the saying has it, is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them. In other words, people can never be happy if they focus on their difficulties and challenges. Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that happiness is a state of mind not an absence of problems.First and foremost, it is well known that in order to be strong individual, one needs obstacles to develop ones strength, just like butterflies which struggle to be free of their cocoon in order for their wings to become strong enouth to fly.Furthermore, just because people have a disadvantaged childhood, it does not mean they cannot be successful. Steve Jobs is a case in point. He was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world.To conclude, as the saying goes “You cannot run away from your problems. There is not a place far enouth away.”Consequently, it is advisable for everyone to have a positive attitude toward their problems if they really want to be happy.2It is an established fact that the topic concerning happiness has aroused stormy discussions in newspapers, television and network. So what is happiness? When it comes to the above-mentioned question, people opinions vary widely. While some people hold happiness equal to nonexistence of problems, others stand on a different ground, for they argue that happiness results from confronting and addressing problems instead of disregarding or avoiding them.While the pace of peoples living is speeding up, the happiness index is lower and lower. According to the recent statistic conducted by CCTVChinas most influential television station，people who hold that they are in a state of unhappiness account for 78%. This phenomenon is mostly due to the different attitudes towards happiness. To my mind, for one thing, it is necessary to keep positive mind when confronting with unpleasant things. For another, cooperation is of great significance in our life.On the basis of the analysis above, we may draw a conlusion that keeping optimistic, cooperative, and stronghearted, combined with being persistent and decisive, really count in dealing with problems and being happy. Only people who are skilled in handling problems can fully enjoy happiness and success.二、求职大学快要毕业了，需要找工作，写一封求职信说明申请工作的原因和自己能胜任的理由。【参考范文】 Dec. 14, 2013Dear Sir or Madam,I am writing to you in the hope that I may get an English editor post in your company.
