10 Quick Tips about Happiness
Happiness is a state of the mind that determines our reaction to external things and the people around us. A happy person will be comfortable with any unpleasant situation without showing much irritation unlike an unhappy person who can flare up at the slightest provocation. The following are the tips about happiness.

- Marriage does not give happiness. Most singles that are lonely and sad always come to the conclusion that their unhappiness will disappear with marriage which experience has proven wrong. The truth is, if you are unhappy as single being married will not solve the problem as marriage also comes with its own challenges.
- Positive attitude. Have positive attitude and outlook to life. Success, popularity, power and all that people are chasing today to give them happiness are all wrong. You can have success and all other things in life and still be unhappy. The only thing that can give you happiness is having a positive attitude to life.

When you have the opportunity to travel to a new location, seize the opportunity to learn something new. If you have the privilege of interacting with anyone that is skilful in one craft or the other seize the opportunity to learn.
- Be childlike. Children are teachable and amenable. Be open to correction without fighting back or justifying your mistakes. Many people are unhappy because they have been abandoned by friends and family members as a result of not taking to correction and advice.
