How to be happy.
In a telephone interview, the radio announcer asked his guest, an Arab man, "What makes you happiest in life?"
The millionaire said:
I have gone through four stages of happiness in life and finally I understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first step was to collect the goods and equipment. But at this stage I did not get the happiness I wanted. Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items. But I felt that the effect of this thing is also temporary and the luster of valuable things does not last long.
Then came the third stage of getting big projects. Like buying a football team, buying a tourist resort, etc. But even here I did not get the happiness I had imagined.
The fourth time a friend of mine asked me to buy a wheelchair for some disabled children.
At a friend's request, I immediately bought a wheelchair. But the friend insisted that I go with him and hand over the wheelchairs to the children. I got ready and went with it. There I gave the chairs to the children with my own hands. I saw the strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children. I saw them all sitting on chairs, moving around and having fun. It was as if they had arrived at a picnic spot.
But I felt real happiness when I started to leave and one of these kids grabbed my leg. I gently tried to free my legs, but the baby stared at my face and held my legs tightly.
I bent down and asked the child: Do you need anything else?
The answer that this child gave me not only enlightened me with real happiness but also changed my life completely. This child said: I want to put the imprint of your face in my mind so that when you When I meet you, I will be able to recognize you and once again I will be able to thank you before my Lord. "
