Happiness is the greatest asset. Everything one does is to make oneself happy, or happier. Even people who sport glum countenances do so because it affords them happiness, albeit perverse. I, therefore, think it is better to appear happy to be happy, rather than appear sad to be happy. There are some things we enjoy doing and we must do them as long as they don't hurt others or violate universal values of Truth, Goodness and Beauty. People who repudiate what they enjoy doing in the name of maturity or piety are hypocrites.
Of course there are certain things that we are supposed to do like cultivating virtue, working hard productively and helping others without expectation that do seem to be very enjoyable, at least in the beginning. Learning to enjoy these things, genuinely, is a stupendous achievement because they can only be enjoyed with inner refinement. And it is this inner refinement that opens the gateway to the highest ecstasy possible.

Dear friend,
As happiness and its way of enjoyment differs from each individual. Moreover all the people want to be happy and most happyiest on this earth. I feel it would be better to deal those which we get happy most. Moreover still happyness is valued if we have the opposite side that is sadness. But we all want to be happy and that is most valued when we get our wants satisfied as we wished. Hope to see more smiles on everyone's face.

we can enjoy life as we want. we should not have rules to lead our life. keep it cool and enjoy every part of life. Life is very short so we need to enjoy them without harming others.

I think that the best things to have in life are happiness, good health and good luck. I know that having enjoyable and interesting hobbies makes a person enjoy life. We can enjoy some simple pleasures like seeing a picturesque view and appreciating a sunny day. I like to see attractive looking buildings, pretty places and to watch animals. I think it is wonderful to appear happy with a smile on the face. It is lovely to help other people and wildlife in the world.
