In other words, people can never be happy if they focus on their difficulties and challenges. Simple as the remark may sound, it conveys a thought-provoking notion that happiness is a state of mind not an absence of problems. 　　First and foremost, it is well known that in order to be a strong individual, one needs obstacles to develop ones strength, just like butterflies which struggle to be free of their cocoon in order for their wings to become strong enough to fly. Furthermore, just because people have a disadvantaged childhood, it does not mean they cannot be successful. Steve Jobs is a case in point. He was abandoned by his biological parents and dropped out of university but still managed to change the world. 　　To conclude, as the saying goes You cannot run away from your problems. There is not a place far enough away. Consequently, it is advisable for everyone to have a positive attitude toward their problems if they really want to be happy.
