The happiness of life

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. Perhaps you will forget tomorrow the kind words you say today, but the recipient may cherish them over a lifetime - Dale Carnegie

The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions - the little soon-to-be-forgotten charities of a kiss, a smile, a kind look, a heartfelt compliment, and the countless other infinitesimals of pleasurable thought and genial feeling.  Remember...it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.  Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about you. A person who truly does things that count, doesn't usually stop to count them. Make things count! Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you will help them become what they are capable of becoming.  To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens. Life’s like a boom-a-rang. The more good you throw out, the more you receive in return. Start now! Make today great!
