As the evening closed in, it was time for people to return home from work, among them, a migrant worker uncle who was on his way home felt very happy, and began to sing and jump forward.

What he didn't expect was that someone across the road took a video of him jumping home. What's more, the video soon went viral. Millions of people liked and commented on it, most of which were those not-so-happy young people struggling on their life paths.

• "Thank you for chasing away my unhappiness."

• "Happiness is so simple."

• "You've passed me on your happiness.

After he became famous, the uncle accepted some interviews and in a cheery tone he said, "No matter how hard or tiring it might be, we shall be happy as long as were alive on this planet."

In fact, this optimistic uncle surnamed Yang actually has quite a lot of burden and pressure on him. One year ago, he left his home to work as a carpenter in the city so as to support his family. His wife stayed at home to take care of their parents and two grandsons. In order to save more money, Uncle Yang eats very simple food, sometimes just some noodles.

"That day wasn't my payday, nor I had anything special. Its just I was on my way for supper, and I felt happy, so I sang and jumped." Being asked why he was so happy that day, Uncle Yang replied.

It seems happiness is a simple thing.

Many people hold the belief that life is hard and its normal to stay unhappy. That might be true, but there are also people trying to tell us something opposite.

Mr. Xie is a cleaner in a College of Fine Arts. 

One day, seeing the new moss on the ground after a heavy rain, Mr. Xie, who was preparing to clean it with a high-pressure water gun, suddenly had the passion to do calligraphy with the cleaning tool in his hand.

It turns out that Mr. Xie has loved art and calligraphy since he was young and once dreamed to become an artist. However, due to the poor conditions at home, he failed to continue his study and started his displaced working life early.

Although his artist dream is unfilled, his love for calligraphy has never changed. With continuous practice, his level has become more and more superb.

Material condition can never take away the passion in our hearts unless we allow it.

A delivery man had an accident on the way to deliver beer. A box of beer fell off the vehicle and broke to the ground. He cleaned the mess up and then picked up the unbroken bottles and offered the doorman who worked nearby a free drink. There he was, watching the doorman enjoy the beer that he had to compensate for and chatting with him casually.

What happened is happened. When loss comes, accept it. Be nice to yourself and others, even in an awful day.

Ms. Huang is the owner of a breakfast shop in Sansha, Xiapu. Her shop is very popular, and there is always an endless stream of customers.

And its not easy for her to be the boss and chef. Breakfast shops are open early. Usually, the owners come to the shop at 3 a.m. to make preparations.

And Ms. Huang got up even earlier. Every day, she would come to the store 45 minutes earlier than others, she would sit down in front of the mirror on a small stool, and start to do her makeup. "I like to wear makeup every day," she said.

Although her makeup won't last long in the hot, oily kitchen, Ms. Huang doesn't care. It's her way to welcome each day.

Sometimes work is really not fun, but we can always choose to have fun.

Mr. Zhang is homeless. He can make 20 yuan a day by picking up garbage.

And he has a dog.

The dog was also picked up by him when he was wandering on the street. At that time, the dog was seriously injured and he spent 200 yuan to cure it. Since then, Mr. Zhang, the homeless man, has a buddy.

Life is hard, but they have each other.

05

For most people, the chores are a burden, a trouble, a trigger for quarrel. Many even put it into one of the causes of divorce.

 

But for this husband, housework is not a drag nor worry, but a good opportunity to enjoy dancing. He just loves doing the chore meanwhile dancing. His happiness can chase away any gloomy day.

 

Oops! The egg is scrambled? Easy, its okay, no big deal. Now, let's dance!

Happiness is a choice.
