Are you feeling unhappy because you are not as wealthy as the billionaires? In Ethiopia, Kenya, Cambodia, billions of people are being worn down by illness and famine, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">facing malnutrition and poverty<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">. They all have a more despairing life than us and we have a higher living quality than them. So, stop muttering, and just be content with your life! Besides, we should not be distressed because of <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">our concern<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> for money and material possessions. Bhutan was once the happiest country in Asia. Although it has a closed and lagged economy, its citizens are spiritually plentiful. In recent years, the economic growth in Bhutan brings the people wealth and at the same time more wants. They leave the villages and migrate to the urban areas to earn more money. The GNH, Gross National Happiness of Bhutan plummets. They gradually give up their own system of values because of the enticement of materialism. Money brings people frustration. Therefore, <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">feeling contended i<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">s a key to happiness. If you can extricate yourself from temptation, you will have a happier life!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Another secret is to be relaxed. Don\u2019t give yourself too much pressure. Just take a rest, listen to music, eat some snacks when you are vexed, and <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: PMingLiU;\" lang=\"EN-GB\">\u2015 <\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">never blame yourself<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-language: ZH-CN;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"> unreasonably<\/span><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Furthermore, have you been down-hearted because of slanderous attacks? We should not be affected by people who give us unreasonable opinions. And we must ignore the gossip about us. Keep our own style and have firm principles. If you can get rid of mongers, happiness will never stay away from you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.3em;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Do you have your secret of happiness?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';\" lang=\"EN-GB\">Do you find your life stressful, monotonous or fine, excellent?
