“Life is Beautiful” when I read this advertisement, I like this slogan for propagandizing. Life is beautiful, and when you put your mind in different position of your life … you will find life is really beautiful all the time. Maybe you think its boring, or tired, or dark…for you never try to look at it in different time; different position; and different mood. Hope you have a nice & sunny mood ~~~ 
Jing,
You are absolutely correct: happiness is truly a state of mind.
Thank you for your always kind wishes, Sunshine Gal of Shanghai. hehe
