Section B
There are two types of people in the world．Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy．This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds．
The people who are to be happy fix their attention on the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather．They enjoy all the cheerful and positive things．They are in good spirits all the time．People like to make friends with them and are happy when they are successful．It can make you popular among your classmates and strengthen the relationship with others．
Those who are to be unhappy always think and speak the negative things．So they are continually discontented．Those people tend to criticize and offend others, which makes themselves disagreeable everywhere．No one loves them and treats them as their friends．No one shows respect to them, either．They should change this bad habit, or they would not live a happier life．
