Happiness is largely a matter of choice,
Let me lend weight to this thought and give it voice!
Choose always to be happy,
Don’t be needlessly surly or snappy!
You are here to spread sunshine and cheer,
Not to belittle someone or at someone to jeer!
Don’t spread unhappiness, hate or gloom,
Who has asked to be an agent of doom?
Happiness comes from a sense of gratitude,
Put an end to your litany of woe, don’t give it any latitude!
Count your blessings and all around you will find beauty,
Let it sink in that to be happy is your profound and sacred duty!
Let happy thoughts always you surround,
Let your happiness radiate out to and envelop all others around!
If over unhappiness happiness you choose,
You will gain and gain and nothing you will lose!

Very true, Professor Saheb. Happiness or otherwise, is an outcome of kind of thoughts we have. If one is always positive in thoughts and attitude without judging others, happiness is almost granted. Acceptance and gratitude are the key ingredients for happiness.
