Secret of Happiness




Is there a secret? New studies show that happiness comes from enjoying life with minimalist material things. So the first advice they give is learn to live life with only 100 personal things. That means ur wardrobe and toiletries should be reduced to that number. Well for those who think that we dont have that many, dont complain. U shud be already happy. The studies show that people are happier when they spend on experiences than material goods. When u buy a new car, the joy lasts as long as ur neighbour or relative has an inferior model. As soon as they upgrade, u feel inadequate. But with experiences, this comparison is not possible. Like the trip u had to Europe or some exotic Caribbean island. Skeptics telling this is all due to recession and people just dont have money to spend. On a different take, if u have money u can have the costliest desserts in the world. While the Frrozen Haute Chocolate costs a mind-blowing $ 25,000, the opulence sundae costs $1000. The first one needs to be ordered 2 weeks in advance and the latter, 48hrs. See the snaps. Its 24carat edible Swiss gold with 23 carat edible gold leaf. They give an 18 carat golden spoon to eat, which u can take home. So wat u think??Having millions does help or wat??

Facebook and twitter highlight ways popular to quit any job. Most people dream of the day when they can say to their tyrant boss' face to just zip off. But a flight steward became the hero of millions when he quit his job in style. Steven Slater had an argument with a passenger while the flight was taxing and got pissed off. He just went to the airplane intercom called profanities, took 2 beers and then pressed the switch for the emergency inflatable slide and bounced out. Well he got arrested later and was out on bail. Any grand ideas u can imagine to better this one??

I think happiness is a choice. That's why some people are happy despite their poverty, or miserable despite their wealth.

Money and fame doesnt have much to do with happiness as some celebrities have clearly shown as...
