Tuesday Quote + Daily Giveaway

in quote •  7 years ago 

Its like all you quotes keeps reminding me of what i have read and come to learn in life.
A chinese proverb i came across said

IF YOU WANT HAPPINESS

If you want happiness for an hour-
Take a nap

If you want happiness for a day-
Go fishing

If you want happiness for a month-
Get married

If you want happiness for a year-
Inherit a fortune

If you want happiness for a lifetime-
HELP OTHERS

In my opinion the essence of life (to make money, loads of it, to have kids, to have a beautiful wife or husband, to live a hundred years) is to achieve fulfilment, ultimate happiness. That is what every human should chase and in achieving this One has to put others into consideration before ones self.

SELFLESSNESS

Firstly, I will say the quote can be summarized as self esteem. True self esteem is not based upon just good to oneself, but based upon accomplishment. No matter how down you are helping others put smile on their faces, irrespective of how Small thé help you render is e.g buying food for a begger, donating blood at a local blood drive, which is actually saving a life. This is an accomplishment. This feeling enable you to do more, because by lifting others you have also lifted yourself.
