How to be happy

"We could learn a lot from crayons.. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box."
Truly, we are of different personalities, as we call it individual differences. But then, we need to learn how to live with the others. We need to find something like a sense of belonging with the others, and that is we should know how to relate with human beings. here are 10 helpful commandments of Human relations:
1. Speak to people. There is nothing as nice as a cheerful word of greeting.
2. Smile at people. It takes 65 muscles to frown; only 15 to smile.
3. Call people by name. The sweetest music to anyone's ear is the sound of his own name.
4. Be friendly and helpful. If you would have friends, be friendly.
5. Be cordial. Speak and act as if everything you do were a genuine pleasure.
6. Be genuinely interested in people. You can like everybody if you try.
7. Be generous with praise – cautious with criticism.
8. Be considerate with the feelings of others. It will be appreciated.
9. Be thoughtful of the opinion of others. There are three sides of controversy – yours, the other fellows, and the right one.
10. Be alert to give service. What counts most in life is what we do for others.
So, the let’s be an advocate of sunny perspective, and our world would be full of happy people.
The list above are as easy as ABc, but then, essential things we really need not to take for granted. Lets use these ideas for the betterment of the society. I remembered a lovely song, taught to me by my mother about how to be happy:
The time to be happy is now, the place to be happy is here, the way to be happy is to make others happy and build a little heaven down here^^,

LLS: the story of my 21st birthday

Hello,

It’s been a long time since I wrote about something to you, and for catching up the moments, I would tell you what happened that day, my special day since you're not here and gone for your silly travel with that very kind world of the map you are always cherishing to be with. (poor me, am left alone here. ha-ha, with your memories imprints) anyway, it was a very happy day, since it’s a special one, and it was my 21st. so you remember how I shared to you my dreams and one of those is to celebrate my 21st with many foods, cause I celebrated my 18th with a chicken soup I prepared myself? Though it’s a memorable one, of course, filled with blessings of love from the family, I just thought, maybe my 21st would be the time that I am working in a company, and earning already. Am right, with having a job, and twice blessed that I celebrated my 21st not only with food but also with people whom I call friends. Life is so beautiful when with friends, people who you love and care about. They are almost a family to me. I was greeted with hugs and kisses and more especially with a holy prayer.
rising up from the bed that morning, I can feel myself beaming with happiness and the mirror prove it through because I was staring at a lady with  smile from ear to ear. I expected it to be happy but the day went smoothly not just happy but blessed too.
I wish to spend my birthday with you next year. is it clear? and please do remember, I won’t accept any silly excuses this time, understand?
hmm,, I wonder how many times I passed by your thoughts today?
