These days I often think about what happiness is, so I watched the following video today.
When you're down, what makes you happy?
3 things that were mentioned that can make people happy in this video were: shopping, a nice view, and having a laugh with friends.
What is happiness for you?
For me, having a quiet life, meeting someone special [important], and traveling abroad are happiness.
Do you think that happiness lies within you? Or does it depend upon other people and external things?
I think that happiness lies within me, which I have finally realized.
I used to think that I would have been happy if I had been brought up in a favorable environment.
The important thing is to change our negative mindset to a positive one. It is our choice whether you are optimistic or pessimistic about things.
Can money buy happiness?
Money can buy materials which give you temporal happiness, but it cannot buy happiness directly. The point is how you spend the money.
I used to waste money buying luxury items so that I could fill my inner emptiness with them. To my amazement, I don't feel I want to buy an unnecessary thing any more.
When was the happiest time of your childhood?
It was when I sat around a table with my family. Looking back on my childhood, living a fairly ordinary life was happiness.
How can you become happy again when you are sad?
I can become happy again by reading my favorite books, going window shopping, and traveling abroad.
What affects your levels of happiness?
People do. I feel happier especially when I can foster a trusting relationship with my students.
Education is like planting a seed. It may not bloom soon, but it will do someday.
What is the happiest time of your life?
It is when I contribute to society especially in the field of education.
Well, tomorrow is the first day of my work in 2012.
I can hardly wait to see my students again!
