Happiness

Everyone chases after happiness, not noticing that

happiness is right at their heels.

Bertolt Brecht

Einstein and happiness

Einstein once said:"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?" For an ordinary reader it seems unbelievable, but a sensitive reader can appreciate the depth of this sentence from such a genius. In fact there are lots of interesting quotations from him about different aspects of life; quotation such as: "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. the important thing is not to stop questioning." And a fascinating and very true saying such as: "Let everyman be respected as an individual and no man idolized". If people could observe this fact, certainly we would live in a much peaceful and better society!

Good feeling

Without remorse for the past,

confident in the presence,

and full of hope for the future,

I woke up this morning and went for jogging in the park and told myself today is the first day of the rest of my life and I looked at the mirror and I saw my face was shining with joy and my eyes burning with gladness.

You know that all human inventions progress from complex to the simple and that perfection is always simplicity.

Happiness

There is an old proverb that says when you are happy the black stone is shiny and when you are sad the pure gold is dull.

The followings are two interesting quotations on the merry hearts:

A merry heart does good like a medicine,

but a broken heart dries the bone.

The grand essentials to happiness in this life are having :

something to do,

something to love

and something to hope for.
