Happiness for a basketball rookie may mean getting the rookie of the year award. Happiness for a beggar may mean a lot of money. Happiness for a business man may mean success. So, really now, how do we become genuinely happy? Simple. You donít have to have the best things in this world. Its about doing and making the best out of every single thing. When you find yourself smiling at your own mistake and telling your self ‘Oh, I’ll do better next time’, you carry with you a flame of strong will power to persevere that may spread out like a brush fire. You possess a willingness to stand up again and try ñ that will make you a genuinely happy person.
