Happiness

They say Happiness is a state of mind. It is not something that comes to you or something can be taken away from you. It is not money. You have to choose to be happy.

Another thought. Happiness is contagious. How many times have I been happy and infused this feeling successfully into my friends? Answer is, A lot.

Recently a friend of mine was preaching me about the much hyped but old 10-90 principle. It says that 10% of life is made up of what happens to you and 90% of life is decided by how you react. I would say very true. Certain things are not under your control but what you can control are your very own reactions. Your choice of being happy determines your state of mind.

Philosophical talks have always sounded inspiring and appealing to me and i guess to most of us. Its difficult to be able to understand life so closely and comment on it. But to me what appears to be more difficult is to implement whats just said. Its one thing to put forth your views but its another thing to be a part of that view.

Why am i talking about all this? I just watched 'Jab we met'.

Plethora of thoughts being put to paper is not the easiest of things to do.But the writer in Garima has managed it perfectly as she tries to put forward an opinion which i believe someday would evolve into a concept known as 'Garima's Principle'.Awesome Job Chief ! Way to Go !

Vinay.. Why dont you create your own blog instead of stealing space from my blog...!!!
it is one of those rare times when the comments on a thing are better than the thing itself...
