Are You Not Happy? Why?

 Happiness!  What is that?  Happiness! Yes, I have heard of it.

Centuries have elapsed in search of material comforts and spiritual joy. Still you ask a person if he is happy or if he has spent a life with happiness surrounded, he will have no answer. He will stare at you silently, as if, silently to hurl a question at you:

Happiness!  What is that?  Happiness! Yes, I have heard of it.

It is still funny that you will hardly know if you are happy or not and that at the same time you will read happiness in the face of anyone other than you. The present author humbly states that he does not have the glorious capacity to delve deep into what is at the source of the feelings that people call happiness. This article is not aimed at understanding or interpreting concept of competitive advantage or any other such. This article will contain a few tips which may help one reach closure to what you term as happiness.

Be true to thyself:

Your face turns gloomy if a desire remains unfulfilled. Have you asked yourself if you do deserve what you want to achieve? Have you asked yourself if you are well aware of the prevailing conditions that raise hindrances at every stage and that emergence of such hindrances are directly or indirectly instrumented by all of us? The people of India or Pakistan and of many other countries are annoyed with their political leadership.  Now these political leaders stem from the existing people only and retain their qualities and shortcomings. They are mediocre and sometimes ignorant and even at times they are tied to the crime world.  Adding values to them only the situation may be changed. We should, therefore, learn to weigh ourselves and learn how to value a thing.

Value the valuable:

If you ask yourself what value you have added to the surroundings you may fumble. We must know what is valuable. You should not try to get something without paying a little or achieve anything simply through short-cuts. You should not think that victory stands await you as you have acquired showmanship. True it is that you will not be valuable unless you have been able to add value to a thing. Hence if for any failure you are frustrated it does not signify anything. You are frustrated for no reason. A successful man walks over many failures. He becomes successful as he is indomitable and as he has learned what is valued and how a value is added. This indicates that he is nearer to reality and that he may experience what you call happiness.
