Hapiness Formula



Scientists say they have solved one of the greatest mysteries plaguing mankind - just what is the secret of happiness?


The answer, apparently, is nothing as simple as true love, lots of money, or an exciting job. Instead, it can be neatly summarised in the following equation:

Happiness = P + (5xE) + (3xH)

P stands for Personal Characteristics, including outlook on life, adaptability and resilience.
E stands for Existence and relates to health, financial stability and friendships.

And H represents Higher Order needs, and covers self-esteem, expectations, ambitions and sense of humour.
Sound complicated? Actually, it isn't as difficult as it may seem.
Apparently the formula was worked out by psychologists after interviews with more than 1,000 people.

Recipe For Living



Take a generous amount of self respect, spice it with humor, stir in equal parts of compassion and love.
Measure in a few drops of frankness (but not enough to be bitter). Blend well. Knead gently and form into a
firm loaf. Bake in moderate oven.
Baste occasionally with sincerity
and serve daily. Your family will
love it, your friends will envy your skill, and strangers will long
rememberyou favorably.
