Learn how to collect happiness

When people speak of happiness , the idea of much money always crowds in . In most people’s eyes , it seems that owing it means owing everything and happiness is just a notion like a big sum of money .

Happiness doesn’t mean you need to make great achievement . Small things you succeed in doing can also result in instructive and significant effect on others . Then you are a happy person.
