Happiness is only attainable through useful efforts. The best way

to help us is to help others. Most people measure their happiness

in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. But happiness

does not depend on worldly pleasures. It comes from the heart within.

We must be happy despite deprivation, if our happiness is so deep

and thoughtful it can become a philosophy of life. Although the world

is full of suffering, it is also full of solutions to over come suffering.

Optimism helps because it leads to achievement. Optimism does not

rest on the absence of evil, but on a glad belief in the prepondence of

good and willing effort always to co-operate with the good in all of us,

so that goodness prevails. But life doesn't give you and opportunity to

show to the world that side of you. If you are going to write something

for the world, you might as well show your happier side. It is nice to be

remembered as a happy person. There is so much life to enjoy and it

helps to remind that, there is a rainbow with a pot of gold at the end of it.
