Many people believe that the keys to happiness are a fancy car, a fat bank account, a prestigious career, a big house, and the latest electronic gadgets, along with an attractive figure or muscular physique. Does happiness really depend upon such material and physical assets? How about you, what is your opinion?

those are the temporary happiness of people who are unfortunate of those things. some people grew up with nothing to eat, nothing to wear or even a home to shed. but if they think positively, they can reach their dream to have those things and later on, they will realize that they can be truly happy even without those things but with people they treasure and love like their family. i can say that true happiness is not achieve with what we have or what we are. its what we do to what we have that gives happiness. if you have a talent to sing or to talk in a crowd, you can use it to entertain and give advice to the needy and with that happiness within you will be felt. sometimes, making someone happy will make you happy. knowing that you are the reason for the smile in their face is truly amazing. :D

well said kmaram! I want also to share my opinion on how to find real happiness. A GOOD recipe and a good cook make for a good meal! In a way,it is similar with happiness. It is not the result of a single factor, but many things in life come together to produce happiness. These include work, play, time with family and friends, and spiritual activities. But there are also more subtle factors, such as attitudes, desires, and goals in life.
