5. SELF-RESPONSIBILITY
“Only by consciously taking charge of
your life can you become all that you
have the potential to be”. Hales

The question is now ‘How healthy are
you?’
The real question is ‘Whether you are
as healthy as you know to be?’

6. EMOTIONAL QUOTIENT
“How can I find Happiness? A good joke, a
chocolate, a compliment, or a back rub can
make us happy but that is for a brief period.
Permanent happiness lies in harmonious life
with your values you respect. Rather the
application of core virtues and character
strength in daily relationships, studies,
work, leisure with meaningful life in which
individuals commit their abilities to the
service of some larger purpose”.
Seligman, M. Authetic Happiness, Free
Press, c.f. Hales (2007) p-496
