In this topsyturvy world, one should expect the
unexpected. This was what this young businessman learned when he and his
partners decide to expand their business. The (globetrotter) VRS said
that after doing some pencil-pushing, this businessman totalled his losses to
millions.
“Sheer talent is not enough to “stay alive” in business,”
shared VRS.
VRS also said that this businessman is very lonely
now inside his house.
“A big house or a new car won't actually make you
happier; it's the simple joys in life that bring true happiness,” said VRS.

simple ways to start living a happier life. Contributed Photos |
How do we find more joy in our life? Like anything else, it
takes practice to cultivate ongoing happiness.
Incidentally, someone shared to me “How to have a happy
life” which I learned was originally posted by Bohol’s “Kilay Doctor”
Karla Tirol Magno, founder and CEO of Brow Clinic & Beauty Lounge, located
at The Alley along J.A. Clarin Street in this city.
Karla’s mom, the former Internet Princess Leah Tirol (who
is running for board member for Bohol’s first district), also shared that
by appreciating the things that we already have we will begin to feel happier
in our lives.
“Always be thankful,” said Leah.
She also said that sometimes after we've achieved our own
personal goals, we still feel empty inside because we haven't made a meaningful
contribution to someone else's life.
“When we help others, it feels good to just be of service
to someone else. The impact we make feels fulfilling and is a big potential
source for our own happiness,” Leah added.
Being happy won't happen overnight. But here are the
top 10 things you can do every day to discover the secrets of being happier.
1. Care less about what people say. No matter what you do , people have something to say. Whether you do good or bad, they will have opinions about you. Ignore whatever negativity that they are trying to inject on you.
2. Choose your battles. Not all battles are worth your attention. Not everything is worth your time. If you know the better truth, you have nothing to explain.
3. Think positively. Look at the brighter side of everything. Everything will fall in its perfect places.
4. Believe in yourself. Believe in your capabilities. Believe that you can do great things in life.
5. Never compare your progress with anyone. You have your own journey to take. You have different struggles. You will have your time soon.
6. Do not pressure yourself too much. Success takes time. It takes efforts. It takes hard work and commitment.
7. Do not forget to smile. No matter how tough the journey gets, keep on smiling. You do not own all of the problems in the world.
8. Embrace your flaws and imperfections. Accept your past. Correct your mistakes and learn from them.
9. Love yourself. One of the best kinds of love is self-love. You will never go wrong with it. It takes maturity to be on that level. It takes acceptance. It takes being strong.
10. Do good to other people and good karma will happen. Spread kindness. Forgive people. Life is too short to dwell on hatred. Be a catalyst for change.
