Things that can make people happy:
being allowed to do whatever we want to
receiving what we have longed for
being respected by others

being healthy
Things that can make people unhappy:
getting too much interference from others
not getting on well with people around us

Happiness isn’t about what happens to us, it is about how we perceive what happens to us. It’s the knack of finding a positive for every negative, and viewing a setback as a challenge. It’s not wishing for what we don’t have, but enjoying what we do possess.
