happiness as such is a very subjective matter.. some ppl will be happy with no money in hand, but family to laugh with. some feels that prosperity is the key.
success. excellence. are the key to happiness.
i have long being 'programmed' to think that happiness have to be that. pass my exams. be a good student. study.
long gone the days when i can just be happy with having been able to caught the biggest grasshopper. happy that my rabbits hopped towards me when i call (altho i'm sure they came because they thought i was bringing food). happy that my dad baught us icecreams.
at the back of my mind now, i still wish i am like that. to be satisfied with small little things, and be more thankful and content with life.
but i guess i am too much of a fiery little thing to settle for less ;)
p/s: pray for my success please. thnk u.
