                        | 1. True happiness 
              
              
                        “Is your true happiness in money, power 
                        or your social status? Are you a happy person if you are 
                        rich, powerful or respected? All the mentioned can be a 
                        reason for happiness, but from many examples we can see 
                        that this is not always so. Who is happy? Happy is the 
                        one who is satisfied with his current situation, happy 
                        is the one who always does as much as he can to make 
                        himself and his life better. Happy is the one who 
                        realized that happiness is primarily in us and our way 
                        of thinking and acting. Happy is the one who knows that 
                        happiness of others is sometime more important than our 
                        own happiness. Happy is the one who knows that all, luck 
                        and misfortune, good and evil are relative and 
                        transient.” David Kulisic
 “Everything is relative and everything is transient. 
                        With something we get, we lose something, and with 
                        something we lose, we get something.” David Kulisic

                        | 2. The happiness is in us

                        Gautama Buddha
 
 "All that we are is the result of what we have thought. 
                        The mind is everything. What we think we become."

                        Gautama Buddha
 
 “A man's as miserable as he thinks he is.” Seneca

                        | 3. The happiness is when those 
                        around you are also happy 
 “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to 
                        others.” Confucius
 
 “He that does good to another does good also to 
                        himself.” Seneca
 
 “Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should 
                        be. Be one.” Marcus Aurelius

                        | 4. The good start 
 “Each morning we are born again. What we do today is 
                        what matters most.” Gautama Buddha
 
 “When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious 
                        privilege it is to be alive - to breathe, to think, to 
                        enjoy, to love.” Marcus Aurelius
 
 “At least for today, do not be angry, do not worry, be 
                        grateful, work with diligence, be kind to people.” Mikao 
                        Usui

                        | 5. If you think that to reach 
                        happiness is impossible mission 
 “Because a thing seems difficult for you, do not think 
                        it impossible for anyone to accomplish.” Marcus Aurelius
 
 “Where there is a will there is a way.” English proverb
 
 “If you do not change direction, you may end up where 
                        you are heading.” Lao Tzu
