I think this is a subject that our governor often mentions. However, the happiness is a kind of feeling. More material doesn't mean that you will be happy. On the contrary, less material doesn't mean that you will be unhappy. And the happiness is not gained even if we had built many highscrapers, held the exhibition, Asian Games etc. If we feel safe, satisfactory and less worried about our lives. I think we are reaching the happiness. I love China

Happiness for me is being able to live life to the fullest even though you're lacking something like money or the ability to travel etc. In short, being contented with your life and being thankful that you're existing though you're not having material wealth is an essential thing for me to gain a genuine happiness. True happiness came from within and its a matter of your lifes' perspective and outlook for you to have it, good night!

For me happiness means contended in life. When you love what you are doing then you are happy.Best way to enjoy life is to have a full control over your thoughts as it is thoughts which if are positive give you happiness and if they are negative they make you unhappy. Every life is important and it is interlinked with one another, so in the gameplan of god every one has a role.

if not to be contended in life, then what us would be, what the earth would be...happiness is in eveyone's heart, and everyone have different defination to the happiness...

I think we all fall into the monotony of routine daily living. Its pretty bad that many countries have such a high cost of living, that you end up having to work all the hours that you're not tired, then when you're not working, you end up trying to relax and get some rest before you have to work again. Having said that, your priority shouldn't be the mundane, it should be actually so you can have a quality of life, so around the studying, work, chores that you have to do each day, make sure you do something that you enjoy doing, so maybe go out for a meal with friends every fortnight, or go to the cinema, or even just going for a relaxing swim. Its hard, especially in this world to make life exciting, but you have to do what you can to make it good for you.

Hello Jimmysun :) There are so many ways in making yourself happy. But the thing that could really make you happy is by following your hearts desire. Problems in life is always around but you can fight for it, make things right and you'll find the happiness and satisfaction with God's guidance. Don't forget God. He answers our prayers.

For me happiness is loving every single thing you do or being contended in your life. As simple as that. :)

Happiness for me is simply satisfaction. Satisfaction does not come with monetary labels at all. A rich and or poor person can be happy so as long as they are content. Not being content/satisfied means they will be miserably unhappy!

happiness comes about in many different forms and ways, and it can come at any time. for most people happiness is what guides them through life. people are driven to seek happiness because society struggle. money equals happiness to most, however, this is not a true statement to me. happiness comes from the start and is often shared by two or more people. yes, people can be happy by themselves, but happiness, to me, is shared. sinking the winning basket in a basketball game as time expires, throwing the winning touchdown pass in a football game, working hard to study for a test and then acing it, helping an elder rake leaves in their yard, those are all forms of shared happiness. happiness lies in a team effort, working hard to accomplish goals,and making certain that everything is done right with great quality. people often make happiness, it doesn't show up on its own, effort, generosity, kindness, and reliability.

according to me happiness is simply people do there work and daily routine with happiness . it helps to create good ideas related to there work , related there family etc. which you like to do for happiness you do . and i think people get everything with the help of this . and i always try to give happiness to others also , it is the actual meaning of happiness if you think different then give me your opinion about this.

Parents,friends,and even just neighbours, their expections maybe more or less forms invisible pressure on us. But,i think there's no huge influence for us to seeking for happiness. It dues to your life attitude,your opinion make your life style. Have more interests maybe can make your change. And sometimes you must be yourself,don't care other's ideas too much..but a premise is that's correct.
