Every one aspires to be happy. Many fail in their quest to find that evasive prize because they are looking it in the wrong places. I think by simply giving something away, doing a kind act, giving thanks and living as though this is your last day on earth can make us happy. Simplifying life and appreciating the simple things around us and not complaining can make us happy. Lastly, looking at the face of a baby and marvel the innocence is refreshing and make us feel young. These are the things that make me happy. What do you think are the things that make you happy.

Since I consider myself as an optimistic girl, I feel happy for every simple thing. Indeed, there are kinds of frustrating affairs. However, I often choose to turn to my favorite sports and music to get myself rid of the frustration. In a word, things appear to make me happy for me if I can keep a simple heart, just like you mentioned above.

If someone suddenly gives me huge some of money, enough to relieve me of my money problems then I would be happy. At least for a few days. The things that would really make me happy would be less problems for me to solve. I get headaches just going through the list. But you are right, doing simple things in life do make me happy.

Same here -huge amount of money will make us happy. Winning the lottery perhaps. But sometimes money is not everything.Satisfaction in what we do will make us happy too.Keep smiling!

I agree 100% to all your thoughts, mainly that of last day on earth. I want to add some, Heardest moment is not that when you loose somthing & tears come out of your eyes, but it is the ONE when you loose something & still manage to smile, so BE HAPPY!!
