what does it take to be happy? (cause and effect essay)

Happiness seems to be an endless topic. People often pay attention to stories or articles about happiness because happiness is something so mysterous and hard to define. Anyone who live in this world want to be happy, so what it takes to be happy? Is a similar question which is created in people’s mind. I think that the key factors lead to happiness is : smile and acceptance.
In order to be happy, we should smile and realize how benefit the smile bring to us. Happiness appears when the smile come from your heart and obviously that your smile is created naturally. Laughter brighten up your soul, make you believe in yourself and make people come near to each other.  If you are in bad mood and giving yourself a smile, your sadness will decrease. When you get stressful, the smile make the level of stress decrease, too.
Happiness come from the way you learn to accept what you have right now. If you sastify with your appearance and never anxious about “how to gain weigh? how to have light skin? how to have a perfect body?” you will obviously never tired about finding any method to make yourself more beautiful. If you sastify with your ability, you will believe and love yourself, which is the important thing lead to the happiness you need. Moreover, accept what you have is also a way of seeing good in everything and everybody because  you will not regret when you fail in something, you will not get sorrow when you can not have something does not belong to you.
 Some people seek for happiness during the rest of their life but they can never reach the happiness they want  because they think that happiness is something so mysterious and far from them.  However, they do not know that happiness will easily appear when they know how to accept and smile.

My brother and I (Comparison and contrast essay)

When I spent my childhood many years ago, my brother unintentionally became a large part of all my memories. I was the only sibling he had so he often played with me. As a result,  I have always thought that he was so different from me. Nevertheless, when we lived together in a rental house last year, I was so surprised to realize that besides the difference,  he and I also had some similarities.
Living far from each other during growing-up time but he and I have so many similarities. Both of us are broad-minded, liberal in expense. Like me, he is so helpful and friendly with friends. He also seeks for true friendship and love like the way I do. We both love our mother and regard her as the most important person in the world. He and I grow up with the desire to buy our mother a house and give her a better life. I had a little surprise when I recognized that he could make poetry like me because he was not a sensitive boy. However, I like this similar because it makes him and me come near to each other. Especially, he can sing very well and tell me that I can sing because he think that we had the same tone. Because of this similarity, he taught me how to sing, took me out of the timidity and made me more confident, which marked a big change in my characteristic, I love this simillar so much.  
It is not so difficult to recognize the difference between my brother and me. Obviously he is a boy and I am a girl. His skin was darker and his hair was shorter so I often teased him about this when we were kids. However, in health aspect,  he was stronger than me while I often got a cold and took a lot medicine. As a little boy, he used to be michievous whereas I was so timid. He was very playful and often went out with friends sometimes without my mother’s permission. In contrast, I always had to stay at home because my mother did not want me to go out so much. At the present, he has a job while I am studying in one university. Naturally, he is a man so he is straightforward and sometimes indifferent in the way he treat people . In contrast, I am so complexed,  sensitive  and always heed each emotion of anyone around me when I communicate with them. My brother is faithful to mental values, he never change habit or hobbies and something he love, while I am superficial and easy to change hobbies.
Each simillarity and difference between my brother and I make me feel he is the best brother I have ever had in life. Although we are so busy at the present, we still think of each other and going out anytime we have chance. Whatever happens, I love him because he is my good brother.
