【正文】 rk your car for you?” he asked pleasantly. I gratefully accepted. Taking my handbag with me, I jumped out of the car and handed him my keys. As I watched, he drove the car out into the busy traffic before moving back and parking with swift precision. “Thank you so much,” I said excitedly.

I related this story to my daughter over dinner and then we went to the Pop Up Theatre to see Hamlet. Sitting in the theatre later, imagine my surprise when the actor playing Rosencrantzor was it Guildenstern?—turned out to be the same young man.

Everything was horrible. Finally, midway through eighth grade, I was told I had a chemical imbalance, diagnosed (診斷 ) with clinical depression, and had to take medicine. It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine. When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself, rather than relying on medicine. Aristotle said, “To live happily is an inward power of the soul,” and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness. Happiness is a journey. Everyone seems to need different things to be happy. “The essentials (要素 ) to happiness are something to love, something to do, and something to hope for,” a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life.
