Book Cover & Preview Text
The only duty you have is to be happy. Make it a religion to be happy. If you are not happy, whatsoever you are doing, something must be wrong and some drastic change is needed. Let happiness decide. So always look at what happens when you do something: if you become peaceful or restful at home, relaxed, it is right. This is the criterion; nothing else is the criterion (Osho). Happiness is the courageous decision that If I feel depressed, I will sing. If I feel sad, I will laugh. If I feel ill, I will double my labour. If I feel fear, I will plunge ahead. If I feel inferior, I will wear new garments. If I feel uncertain, I will raise my voice. If I feel poverty, I will think of wealth to come. If I feel incompetent, I will remember my past success. If I feel insignificant, I will remember my goals. Today I will be the master of emotions. (Og Mandino, The Greatest Salesman in the World)

Happiness lies within us in our attitude, compassion, right action and conduct. However, we search for it outside like Deer who has fragrance in its navel but run after hither to thither thinking that the fragrance lies out there.
