2. While true happiness is a state of mind, there
are many who pursue fame and fortune.
There are also others who follow a life
without attachment to all material things.
However, God is fair. All of us, rich and poor,
can attain happiness and a more satisfying
life. Here are the 7 ingredients:

3. 1. Health and fitness: Health is the primary
factor that allows you to carry out what you
are supposed to do in order to live a happy
life. Moreover when you are healthy and fit,
you feel good inside out and you are full of
vitality.

4. 2. Something to do in life: Whether it’s a
challenging career or doing some voluntary
social work, life is more fulfilling.

5. 3. Family: A happy home life is a very
important ingredient for happiness. A place
you look forward to after a hard day’s work.

6. 4. Live within your mean: The Chinese has a
proverb for it: 年年有余（nian nian you yu）. It
means every year there is something (money)
left over. I am not rich but I have no debt, so I
sleep well at night. Be happy with what you
have while you pursue the things you don’t
have.

7. 5. Lifelong learning: Make your life
interesting by learning something new.
Blogging is something new to me. It’s really
thrilling to learn all about blogging.

8. 6. Enjoy every moment: Savor every moment
in life. Yesterday is dead and gone and
tomorrow may not come. Enjoy the sunshine,
the fresh air, the sound of chirping birds…

9. 7. Relationships: Spend time with your
friends and relatives to share jokes and ideas.
It’s heartening to know that you can also
count on the people around you when the
need arises.
