What makes People Happy?

There is no exact definition of Happiness.

A friend of mine   5 years back in Nepal   won the lottery- a car  worth 15 lakhs. He sold that car as he thought cash was more valuable than the asset as such. He appeared to be a good man with a good character. Of the many types of people who might have won, his friends were happy. After two years of this event, he was found all the time drunk found enaged in drug business. The arrests continued over the next few years. The excitement of winning lottery did not grow into a life long happiness.

Happiness is an emotion:

Happiness is not merely a life lived by accumulating moments of pleasure. On the contrary, happiness is a long lasting enduring enjoyment of life, it is being in love with living. It is your reward for achieving a good  and personal rational values  in life. Some important values are a productive career, friendship,individual romance and hobbies, meeting new people and able to cope with new culture and people.

Happiness is individual:
What makes you happy may not necessarily make others happy. Every individual have their own definition of Happiness.
