Happiness is a very relative term.It is in mind not in the bank.I am not that rich.But I am always happy.Never a dull moment in my life.Loving wife wonderful child.I work hard and keep the family life rolling.The moment I become greedy and not satisfied my happiness will vanish.

Its always the poor people who are happy coz they got less problems and they are not at all worried about their problems. I would like to tell you all a story which clearly indicates that poor people are more happy.
One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the
express purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"
"It was great, Dad."
"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.
"Oh yeah," said the son.
"So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?" asked the father.
The son answered:
"I saw that we have one dog and they had four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have imported lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them."
The boy's father was speechless.
Then his son added, "Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are."
I guess, many would have heard about this story...

When your poor, lack of money is a problem.
When your rich, money creates problems.
More or less, everyone has problems, whether your rich or poor.
But happiness does not lie in being rich or poor.
Even the poorest man can be happy.
Lifes how U make it!

the one who is content with his life is happy.happiness doesnt come with money,it comes with the approach you have over life
