I remember the first time that I was extremely happy.I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in theclassroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turnsplaying various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the sourcecode (密码) for one of these games. Without knowingor being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some portionsof the BASIC code.

Anyone who knows a bit of programming can tell youthat I just give myself an infinite (无穷大) number oflives in the game, so I can continue playing forever. This was also my firstintroduction to algebra (代数), and I didn’t even know it at the time.This was a decisive (决定性的) moment in my life. For the first timethat I can remember, I was quite happy because of what I was learning and whatI was able to do. As a result, I became enthusiastic for the rest of my lifeabout self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them, too.

I’ve noticed that people who are truly content withlife are enthusiastic in what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health,is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and fulfillment inlife, too. It may also lead to success, wealth, and achievements.

Yes, success, wealth, or achievements seem to bringsome people happiness, too. Yet, I don’t think they can indeed make peoplehappy. I know plenty of people who are successful and wealthy. However, I alsoknow several of the people with successful businesses are not happy with whatthey are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, cars,computers, and televisions, yet they never seem content for too long.

Please remember that happiness comes from enthusiasm,and happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.
