What makes you smile?

There are many ways to make us smile, and smiling is easy to do. Be it a deliberate smile or a smile that comes naturally. Just like when other people smile at us, of course we will reply with a smile. If we realize that smile comes when we are happy or feel happy and a smile will never happen when we are sad.

Have we ever noticed the look on the faces of people who are forced to smile and people who smile because of something that makes them smile by themselves. The two characteristics of the smile that I describe will be different in both behavior and atmosphere.

I will smile if I can help other people who are affected by disasters, be it natural disasters or other disasters. When I studied at the University a few years directly, at that time I joined the campus humanitarian institution. At a time when I liked to gain knowledge, I also had to be faced with humanitarian action. Sometimes when I'm in college, I have to allocate time to do humanitarian action. Whether it's by evacuating victims of natural disasters or raising funds to be distributed to victims.

At this time I will smile when I can make my family happy, be it sharing children, wife or parents. The smile I get is not when I can give money to my family, but when I can be with them and take them on vacation. When I see them smile, then that's where I will smile by myself, without having to be forced to smile.

Importance of happiness

Happiness does not come because of the achievements and financial stability obtained, but happiness comes from how we interpret life. If we assume happiness comes from achievement and financial stability, and when we fail to achieve achievement, so does finance, then we will definitely be faced with stress and pressure.

Happiness can come when we do small things and happiness doesn't have to be when we do big things and get what we want. Sometimes when we can make people smile we will be happy. For example, when we move a branch that is on the road and move it to a more appropriate place, then we will be happy because if we do not move the branch and when someone steps on it and he will be hurt. So when we move and other people are free from obstacles, then we can be happy on their own.

Without us knowing when we are happy, we can transmit happiness to others. Happiness is not only needed when we are at home, but happiness is also needed when interacting with other people around us. For someone's happiness will be different, depending on how we interpret ourselves happy. We need to ask ourselves whether we are happy or not.

The question now is what happiness do we need, because when we have life satisfaction, we actually get happiness. But when we have happiness, we don't necessarily get our satisfaction.

Happiest moment of your childhood

Of course, the joy of childhood when you can play with friends and that happiness will happen every day. Because there is no happier childhood than playing. Especially when playing as a child there is no limit, only when you want to eat and rest and the rest play other things.

Another happiness that I got as a child was when I got a rank in class at the end of the school semester. At that time I received gifts from my parents and gifts from other families. By finding the gift, I continued to study hard. In my opinion, there are 2 joys in childhood, namely when playing and getting gifts from parents or other people.

Happiest moment currently (no more than 2 years ago)

The happiness that I found 2 years ago was when my first child could walk. Where at this time I have a family, the family has an uncomfortable feeling, because our son is already 1 year old and he still hasn't walked like a friend of his age. This month, the first son is 3 years and 1 month old, meaning he can walk smoothly at 1 year and 1 month.

For another happiness I found when 2 years ago, where my wife, a teacher, passed the exam to get the salary paid by the local government. What used to be only paid by the school's salary and the amount of salary paid by the school was too small for the burden it bears. To be able to get or be paid a salary by the local government must take an exam.

This happiness is not only experienced by my wife, our family is also happy, because my wife has been a teacher from 7 years ago and only 2 years ago received a teacher's salary with an adequate amount.

If happiness were the color, with which would you relate it?

I think all colors store happiness, it depends on us how to interpret the happiness of each color. The sky blue color represents coolness that can soothe feelings and promote health. From this explanation, there will be happiness.

The next color is leaf green which describes full of energy, because green leaves are the essence of blooming plants and from green leaves can bring positive energy. The third color is pink which represents kindness, romance and serenity.

Of the three colors, I believe that sky blue, leaf green and pink hold happiness and these three colors are my favorite colors. For clothes, I usually use this color.

What do you think is the secret to happiness?

In my opinion, the secret of happiness is to love ourselves, meaning that we can accept the situation as it is and never complain about what we get and never feel less with what we have now and never compare what we get with what we have. others.

Every time we love the moments we miss, be it moments at work or moments from the days we go through, we will feel happy. From that never to complain, go through the days beautifully then we will find happiness.

When we share happiness and give a smile to those who are sad, then that's where we can bring happiness to others. Never share happiness with others, because when we share happiness with others, the happiness we have will not decrease, in fact we will get more happiness that we will have.

Conclusion

To achieve happiness, it lies in ourselves. If we are not happy, it is impossible for us to make other people happy. So to make others happy, we must first make ourselves happy, then we can share with others. Are you happy now or not?.
