HAPPINESS - How to Be Happy ……..(1)

 Do you want happiness ?

This simple question will always be answered with a big ‘Yes”.  Yes , all of us without exception , want to have happiness, although the idea of what constitute happiness and how it can be obtained differs from person to person.happy faceEvery one of us wants happiness, and not only in each moment of our daily life : we want an unchanging, ultimate happiness that can be experienced forever.

Every one of us is trying to stop our problems and find peace. No matter where we live, what race or culture we belong to, what religion or philosophy we follow, or what language we speak, we all wish to be happy and not have problems. Truly every living being has the basic wish to experience happiness and avoid suffering.

But so often, our attempts to find happiness end up  only causing more pain. We need to understand the full potential of our mind, and we need to understand the importance of loving-kindness for our own happiness and for the happiness of the world. We need to learn how to transform every single experience  - health and sickness , wealth and poverty, living and dying  - into happiness.

Did you ever watch a child create a castle in the sand and see it happily express its satisfaction when its work had been completed ?

All of us that seek true happiness in life can learn a lesson from this child.  For here you see a human being that has found its happiness , and if you will not seek to find your own, the same way as that child , you shall forever hunger after happiness in vain.

All happiness this mortal life affords- is joy experienced through creative effort. Be it that a person will create the timeless realm of love within his soul; be it that his creativity express itself within the province of the mind; or that material things provide his will the means creatively to manifest its power.

The joy experienced in creative work alone is real happiness, and all things else you regards as such will surely, if you trust them, betray and rob you of true happiness, as much as one can find it in this life.

So the pursuit of happiness is the root motivation of all human life. Beneath our so-called wants and desires for love, comfort, wealth,power, fame, etc., lies the unchanging quality of happiness -  that all of us, without exception, seek - some consciously and most unconsciously .  However, it is imperative to recognize that there is no one absolute way to arrive at happiness - no one path, no one science, no eternal unchangeable laws.

Happiness is essentially a product of a certain inner consciousness, which perceives everything in the externally manifested world. It is not what happens to us in life that determines our happiness so much as the way we react to what happens.

And to this Abraham Lincoln once said, “Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

              Flirting is more than the initiation of a relationship.  It is a way to keep it interesting and fun. Flirting is much more than just a bit of fun : it is a universal and essential aspect of human interaction. Like every other human activity, flirting is governed by a complex set of unwritten laws of etiquette. These rules dictate where, when, with whom and in what manner we flirt. We generally obey these unofficial laws instinctively, without being conscious of doing so. Flirting is a way of noticing someone, of conveying the fact that you find that person interesting and attractive.

If you are already in a relationship , your flirting days are not over ! You must continue to flirt with your loved one because other people will !  When you and your loved one have been together for a while, it’s easy to take one another for granted and fail to send those signals.

Long long time ago…..

His parents were not rich and in fact they , his father Charles and his mother Lee-Lee Chan, did not have enough money to pay for the medical expenses during her pregnancy. It was thus reported that  Chan stayed in his mother’s womb for 12 months and had had to be caesarean born.  His parents had to borrow money from friends to pay for the operation expenses.  It was said  that the doctor who operated on his mother had offered to take the child in lieu of the payment  and was of course refused by the parents as it was their first born son. At birth Chan weighed a solid 12 pounds and because he was such a cute and bumpy child always rolling around, his parents called him Pao Pao meaning Cannonball.

Eating the right foods in the correct portions all the time can be expensive , time consuming and , let’s face it , inconvenient.

Happy Food …..The Chinese Way

Since social customs and traditions vary in different countries our Chinese table etiquette is entirely different from that of the West. It is regrettably true that we lack some of the niceties and refinements of Western table manners; still , in the past thousand years the Chinese have developed a multitude of conventions which are concerned with the matter of eating - the Happy Way.  The important thing is that the atmosphere should make every body feel happy and at ease,because things are going on as they should .There is an old Chinese saying that goes something like this ; “Eating food is above all Heavenly Laws.”  Nobody should deprive another from eating , not even the Heavenly Emperor for that matter.

Dinning in the Chinese way, the dishes are never passed around  unlike their Western host.  Chinese dishes are best when they are served hot . That is why hot soup , hot noodles , hot congee, etc.  are best sucked in with as noisily as possible although this is not a  pleasant act in the eyes of our western friends
