【点评】

本次作文主题围绕“幸福的源泉”，难度不大。虽然表面有些抽象，但根据题干意义还是可以迅速地将本文分成2-3部分：1.总述幸福产生源泉，不是没有问题，而是处理问题的能力。2.阐述自身有哪些解决问题、保持幸福的方法。

Happiness – Go for it

In this long journey we call "life", everybody is in pursuit of happiness and has their own interpretation of happiness. An inspiring idea is that happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them, which reveals the very truth about happiness. It cannot be achieved through waiting, but only through striving.

There is no way that life always progresses as we wish. Problems may occur and we find ourselves in trouble, but it doesn't mean we are deprived of happiness. There are numerous examples for us to follow: disabled people overcoming obstacles, patients fighting against disease, poverty-stricken people achieving their dreams -- all these inspiring heroes. Their lives are definitely not problem-free, but they have found happiness by courageously solving problems.

Therefore, it is essential to develop the ability to deal with problems.  We need to muster our courage and confidence to face the fact. Meanwhile, we need to find effective ways to cope with them.

In a word, if we stay strong and approach problems effectively, there will be no storm in life that we cannot weather. And after the storm, happiness is within our reach.
