How Do You Make Yourself Happy?

Ealier this evening at work, i couldn't be any more exhausted and drowsy. However, as a saleperson, it's my responsiblity to nicely interact and take care of customer's needs. Smile, hello, hi, how are you?, Do you find what you are looking for? What brought you in today? are the common words to say. I sometimes felt like an automatic answering machine. However, i like this job for now at least.

A well-dressed lady entered my store to look for a few items. She looked very young and enthusiastic in her sixties. As normal, i greeted her. After exchanging a couple of hi and hello, how are you? good back and forth, she asked me where i was from. "I am from Cambodia," i said "how about you, ma'am?". "Originally, i am from Hong Kong." she responded. "Ni hao ma?" and "Xia Xia", i said to make her happy. She smiled. Before she was going to leave, i took the chance to ask her, "I read an article online, a question was raised 'how do you make your life happy?' " "How do you make your life happy?" she repeated my question, smiled and proceeded without any hesitation, "you have to think positively, not on the negative sides of the world." She continued to clarify with an inspring example, "There is a glass of water, some people may see it half-full while some may see it half-empty. It's just the way we see things differently." "Thanks for a very good advice," I thanked her "because i saw you with your husband (a white guy) were such a happy couple, so i thought i could learn from you. She responded "Actually i am a psychologist". I suprisingly exclaimed "Wow, i am asking the right person today. I'm glad i did it"
She continued "Our physcial and mental health are interrelatively important. I recommended you to check your physical health in the first step. Then see its effects on your level of happiness." "But i don't have any remarkable diseases right now." I added. "What i meant by physical health is how you sleep and how you eat, do you exercise by the way?" "Nope, but i walked a lot at workplace and dropped five pounds already" I told her. "That's one case. You probably don't have a healthy sleeping or eating habit." (That's right i sleep late bcos of blogging, eat McDonald for dinner) I thought. "An extra multi-vitamin everyday can be helpful." She recommended. "Ok, thanks". I said. We paused a little. "it's very nice to see you and thanks for stopping by" I said as her husband was walking to her. She told her husband the story, and he said "We have to live our lives on the positive side and look at the bright side of the world. Life is just too short to be sad" As I watched them walking away happily, his hand on her shoulder, i told myself that i could be happy, no matter how tough life can be.
I'm sure we could also be as successful as our parents (i assume that our parents are successful) no matter how many years or how many children it takes.

Last but no least, don't forget to have S.E.X everyday since it's very important for your health. Before dirty ideas enter your mind, S.E.X stands for Sleep, Eat, eXercise. Don't forget S.E.X.

One final question i like to ask you "How do you make your life happy?" If you just share a single-line answer, I'm positive that we will have a long list of "How to be happy".
