LIVE LIFE!

Humans, much as they are educated sometimes fail to recognize and thus appreciate the value of living life.We channel much of our energy and skills on our daily struggle to amass wealth so as to gain approval, recognition, influence and respect from others. Indeed it is true that living a good life is the best revenge, still it does not gratify our desire to find meaning and happiness in our life.I can remember well a story I've read...that simple story was about a  boatman who had a foreign passenger. The foreigner asserted that the boatman should go back to school and earn his degree. The boatman asked "why? and what for?" The foreign national replied "so you can travel like me and be happy!" and the boatman with a wide grin on his face said " but I am happy with what I'm doing being a boatman!".

Hope you learned a bit here.

  3. Be contented and you will learn how to be happy. Human greed knows no bound, but if you learn how to be contented, you'll be happy. Appreciate the things that you have. It's not bad to dream on and hope for better things, but the point is, you should know what makes you happy.

  4. Life is not about what you have, it is about how happy on who you are now. the basis of life doesn't depend on the medals or trophy you've got but how many times you've learned a lot on your daily experiences. A meaningful life is based on what will be your character and attitude at the end not on how many luxurious things you've got. It is about living simply and satisfied on what you've got.

  5. people have different views in life, some of us have greater desire than others, and when we meet what we've wanted we became contented and happy.

    To live your life full of happiness are
    * Know what you want out of life-You have to know what you want out of life. I am amazed how many times people tell me that they want to be happy but when I ask them to tell me what happiness equals to them, they are hard pressed for an answer. Just wanting to be happy like someone seems to be is not good enough. You have to be specific.
    *Don't compare yourself to others-One of the fastest ways to live a miserable life is to compare who you are and what you have to someone else.You are you; don't try to be someone else.
    and
    *Don't take things for granted.-Learn to appreciate things in your life and not take them for granted.

    then..ukei na..happy yipiee yehey na..:D
