Happiness is Helpful
Happiness is a very helpful habit for all successful human beings. If you are delighted, pleased or glad about something you have reached a stage of happiness in your daily living.
Happiness comes to those of us who have pleasure in doing things and are pleased to interact healthily with everyone. When we try hard to seek ways and means to enjoy everything at work, at home and in life generally we are on a road to complete happiness.
Many people of this world are definitely happy and do not need to be reminded to change but there are many around us who are caught in sadness and despondency. They need help and it is our duty to assist them to walk on the pleasant road of happiness.
There are at least ten solid commandments to enable any person to proceed to complete happiness in life. We should preach and practice these habits to make our community a better place to co- exist.
-
Speak to everyone clearly, concisely and confidently with cheerful greetings and polite words.

Since it takes a lot more effort to frown than to smile, we must ensure that we use this ammunition of good relationship effectively and freely. A smile does not cost us anything but it pays us very high returns.
-
Given name is the best thing a person possesses and it sounds sweet to the ears when our name is used in the proper way. It is helpful to remember and use the accepted names of your friends and relatives when communicating with them. Do not call people by names they do not approve of or do not like.

When we are friendly and helpful to everyone it is natural that others begin to respond in the like manner. The more we befriend our people and the more we assist them the greater would be their reciprocal response.
-
Speak and act as if everything you do were a genuine pleasure and take pride in doing things for everybody. Love for your work and pride in your organization are both vital feelings.
-
If we are genuinely interested in all the people we deal with then we create a very harmonious relationship with each other. People then interact freely and happily thus making everything look possible and cool.
-
If we are generous with our praise for all things and behaviour that are good, beautiful and truthful then we would always be happy. However, when you have to criticize things and behaviour of people you have to be very careful and cautious and do it wisely.

Everyone would appreciate it
