15、ies,view ofhappiness.According to his theory,happiness might be described as a state if balance.And when human or certain animals achieve that balance,they rend to remain in thatcondition in order to repeat the happy feeling.唯有惜时才能成功,唯有努力方可成就!时间就是金钱,效率就是生命!To illustrate this,we may study two magnets
16、.When their positive and negative polesmeet,they are comfortably joined,and they remain there.In other words,they haveattained a balance or state of happiness.If on the other hand,one of the poles isreversed,and positive pole is presses against positive pole,there is resistance,instability,imbalance
17、 a state of unhappiness.Animals with some degree of intelligence seem to find happiness in reinforcement.Once they have gained one or more of their goals such as food,and water,they learnto repeat the actions that led to satisfaction of those goals.This repetition orreinforcement produces a state of

19、,and so on.Thus learning can occur with almost no consciousthought.For human beings,blessed with the ability to reason,goals are not limited to theshort-term satisfaction of needs.Indeed,there is a strong link between happiness andthe fulfillment of long-term goals.Even if human strive for goals tha
