"If we feel bigger than the problem, we cope. If we feel smaller than it, we suffer. Alot of the time, problems just show us our weakness and that's why we cant handle. So we get unhappy" - The Buddha, Geoff and Me.

I am happy. I do not know why... =) Must be due to the amt of diamoku i chanted everyday. the more i chant, the happier i get. I am managing my life well now. I am determine to challenge and overcome whatever obstacles that are going to come my way. Because happyness is not a life of no problem. It is to be found in the vibrant dynamism of your own life as you struggle to challenge and overcome one obstacle after another, as you clamber up a perilous ridge in pursuit of that which lies beyond.

If you happy and you know it, claps your hands.

*Clap Clap*

Share with you a few Happyness guidance
from my mentor in life, Dr. Daisaku Ikeda:

"When we draw strength from within, our outlook undergoes a dramatic transformation; everything around us looks completely different. To be strong—that is the key to happiness."

"As long as we are alive we will experience sufferings. But that does not mean we have to be unhappy. Unhappiness comes from allowing ourselves to be controlled by life's ups and downs—from feeling defeated, from losing hope, losing courage, losing the will to advance."

"Where can we find happiness? Happiness is not found in a tranquil life free of storms and tempests. Real happiness is found in the struggles we undergo to realize our goals, in our efforts to move forward."

Yup. Having goals are important =) or we'll be like lost ships in the big big ocean. Goals are like compass in life. Only by knowing our directions then can we move towards it. jia you everyone. Do not give up on your dreams and goals. Not giving up is itself victory!

BANZAI!!!
