A newspaper in England once asked readers this question: Who is the happiest person on earth?
The four winning answers were:
A little one who makes sandcastles.
An artist or craftsman who is whistling for a job well done.
A mother who bathes her baby after a hectic day.
A doctor who finished a difficult surgery saving a life.
The newspaper editor was so surprised to find virtually no one to propose to kings, emperors, millionaires or other famous rich people as the happiest people on the planet.
W. Beran Wolfe once said: If one observes a really happy man, he will find him building a ship, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing dahlias in the garden, looking for dinosaur eggs in the Golbi desert. You will not be looking for happiness as if it were the closure of a necklace that has fallen under the radiator.
He will not be striving to achieve it as if it were a goal. He is going to realize that he is happy in the course of living a busy life 24 hours a day.
What can be more fun than loving what one does and feeling important?
Psalm 128: 2
When you eat the work of your hands, blessed will you be, and it will be good for you.
