From Principal’s Desk “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”- Mahatma Gandhi Let’s look into our happiness quotient …………… and find happiness in everything around us. How happy we are? India stands at 140th position among 156 nations across the world when considered how happy the residents of this land are. You know the happiness quotient of this country was quite low. Happiness cannot be bought, borrowed or begged…………….. “Happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions.” - Dalai Lama Finland being the happiest nation across the world for the second consecutive year indicates we need to learn from them. Pakistan (67th position), Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Srilanka are all ahead of us. The unhappy nations (Sudan, some African countries, Afghanistan, Tanzania, Syria and Botswana etc.) among us are those who are war ridden, deprived of their basic necessities, lack of proper education, poor standard of living, running out of two course of meal a day. We are not so deep rooted into these issues then why are we slipping down every year? A few days back a news headline read – A man left his brand new Mercedes Benz at the river slope to get it drowned- reason, he asked for a Jaguar and his father got Mercedes Benz. “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.” - Franklin D. Roosevelt Let’s be more creative, let we be help to others and let’s speak a few words of happiness. Let’s think less of materialistic things. Let’s live a disciplined life. Love your parents, love your elders and the youngers, love the nature, the animals around us as - “Happiness depends upon us.” -Aristotle
