First step to happiness: Being thankful

I have come up with the three major steps to happiness. Here's the first one: Being thankful.

In our everyday life, even the smallest things can upset us. Such as losing a game of online reversi.

While for many of my friends, they often get upset over problems with school. Some have trouble dealing with their classmates or maintaining a good relationship with the whole class, while others are struggling with their schoolwork.

I experience that too! How do i deal with it?

The answer is simple, by being thankful.

The next time when you find yourself getting stressed up and unhappy due to the tons of assignments being thrown infront of you, think about those kids living in small villages with no access to clean water, fresh foods, and let alone books and classrooms.

When you are rushing for your assignments because the deadlines are approaching, what are those kids doing? Struggling to survive in the harsh conditions, helping out in the fields, praying that they get a chance to attend school and gain more knowledge.

When you have trouble dealing with your classmates, think of the kids again. Do they get to attend schools and even have classmates? They don't. They might have playmates, but definitely not have friends whom all of them can get together and gain some knowledege through attending classes.

Be thankful for what you have, is the key to happiness.
