HOW TO BE HAPPY

Happiness is a shy bird. Hunt it, and it will fly away.
It is better to set a trap for it, and look the other way.
We often find happiness when we are thinking of something else.
Pleasure-seekers miss it.
But there are some things that make for happiness.

1. Good health. To be happy, obey the laws of health and keep well.
2. Work. An idler is rarely a happy man. Workers are generally cheerful.
3. Healthy and Hobbies for our leisure hours. Games, sport, music, and books help to make us happy.
4. Friendship and pleasant companions. But the true source of happiness lies within.

The secret of happiness lies in kindness to others, humility, a clean mind, a clear conscience, and an upright life.
