quotes - Happiness

We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we have.
  ~Frederick Keonig

My crown is called content, a crown that seldom kings enjoy.
~William Shakespeare

We are seldom happy with what we now have, but would go to pieces if we lost any part of it.  ~Mignon McLaughlin

Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is. 
 ~Maxim Gorky

Precisely the least, the softest, lightest, a lizard's rustling, a breath, a flash, a moment - a little makes the way of the best happiness.
 ~Frederich Nietzsche, Thus Spake Zarathustra

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things. 
 ~Robert Brault

If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert.  He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator.  He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself.  He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.  
~W. Beran Wolfe

Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.
~Joseph Addison



We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements in life, when all we need to make us really happy is something to be enthusiastic about.
~Charles Kingsley





When you're really happy, the birds chirp and the sun shines even on cold dark winter nights - and flowers will bloom on a barren land.  ~Grey Livingston



Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
 ~Mahatma Gandhi

Yes Man ( 2009, comedy )

‎Life is too short, so laugh when you can, apologize when you should. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances, give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy, you have to take the good with the bad. Smile when you're sad, love what you got and always remember what you had. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong, but always remember, LIFE GOES ON.

Yes Man

Based upon the autobiographical novel - having the same title - written by the British writer , Danny Wallace , the movie is a  comedy which focuses on Carl Allen , a man  who's sick of  his ordinary  boring daily  life  ... Because he was acting according to his principle- rejecting any offer coming from friends, collegues or even unknown people   whom he meets in the street -  he  has become very a  lonely person  and  rather an unpleasant company for the others ...

His life changes  when he decided to search for help by attending a specialized  course   whose main rule was :  saying YES to anybody no matter what the request might have been !
His life is completely changed from that moment : he wins  45 000 dollars , is promoted at work , falls in love , finds a dog ....

The power of the word YES   has a huge influence upon his existence and our hero understands that anything  may be looked at from   2  different persepectives -  just like the two sides of a coin ....

Avand la baza romanul autobiografic omonim al scriitorului britanic Danny Wallace, filmul "Yes man" este o comedie spumoasa care il are in centrul actiunii pe Carl Allen, un barbat care s-a plictisit de viata lui banala si lipsita de sare si piper si care obisnuieste sa respinga din principiu toate ofertele si propunerile pe care le primeste de la colegi, prieteni sau simplii necunoscuti de pe strada, motiv pentru care a devenit foarte singuratic si antipatic oamenilor din jurul sau.

In momentul in care se inscrie la un curs de intr-ajutorare a carui singura regula este aceea de a raspunde afirmativ oricui, indiferent de cererea pe care ti-o adreseaza, toata existenta lui Carl Allen se schimba in sensul pozitiv al cuvantului, castigand 45.000 de dolari, fiind promovat la locul de munca, intalnind o noua dragoste, gasind un caine, invatand limba coreeana sau obtinand o diploma de asistent. Astfel, puterea cuvantului "Da" ii influenteaza viata in cele mai neasteptate si surprinzatoare moduri, barbatul intelegand insa si faptul ca orice lucru bun are un revers al medaliei.

Introduction to Jokes a Sardar Would Tell

Introduction to Jokes a Sardar Would Tell

Sardar, is a Persian word which tends to be used for military or political leaders because the roots of the word mean commander, perhaps comparable to the English word, chieftain. 

In Pakistan, for example, the leaders of certain tribes have the title Sardar. [Balochi, Kashmiri, Pashtun, Punjabi, Seraiki, Sindhi].

However, in India the word often refers to a male follower of the Sikh faith; sometimes the word - Ji, is added and this denotes respect. Sometimes, in India, the Punjabi and Hindi: Sardar, is used derogatorily and he is considered as an "idiot" and the butt of many jokes perhaps rather in the same way as "blondes".

These jokes are not meant to be  any form of racism, but we do understand the place of stereotypes in society. On this occasion we feel the same about Sardar humour. We see it rather like the attitude of say the Americans towards the Canadians; the English towards the Irish or the Scots. The Welsh towards the English. Elsewhere we find that "Poms" [British people] are the butt of Australian jokes. Belgians fall foul of the French; while The German deprecate the Dutch in their humour. 

How Can You Be Sure Someone Is A Sardar?

• Sends a fax with a postage stamp on it.
• Tries to drown a fish in water.
• Trips over a cordless phone.
• Thinks socialism means partying.
• Studies for a blood test and fails.
• Gets stabbed in a shoot-out.
• Puts lipstick on his forehead because he wants to make up his mind.
• Takes a ruler to bed to see how long he slept.
• At the bottom of the application form where it says: "Sign Here", he puts 'Scorpio'.
• Sells the car for gas money.
• Misses the 44 bus, and takes the 22 twice instead.
• Drives to the airport and sees a sign that said, "Airport left", he turns around and goes home.
• Gets locked in Furniture Shop and sleeps on the floor.

   Funny   Jokes   a   Sardar    Tells   

Two Sardarjis are looking at an Egyptian mummy.

Sardar 1: Look, so many bandages! Must be a pukka (real) lorry accident case.
Sardar 2: Aaho, lorry number is also written...BC 1760!!!

Two Sardars were fixing a bomb in a car.
Sardar 1: What would you do if the bomb explodes while fixing? 
Sardar 2: Don't worry, I have one more.

Sardar: What is the name of your car?
Lady: I forgot the name, but it starts with 'T'.
Sardar: Oh, what a strange car, starts with Tea. All cars that I know start with petrol.


Museum Administrator: That's a 500-year-old statue you've broken

Sardar:                            Thank God! I thought it was a new one!



Sardar to his servant: Go and water the plants.
Servant:                       It's already raining!

Sardar:                       So what? Take an umbrella and go!

Sardar Out Shopping

Gatnam went to the sale at electrical shop and he found a bargain. 'I would like to buy this small TV,' he told the salesman.
'Sorry, we don't sell to Sardars,' he replied.

So Gatnam hurried home, removed his turban, and changed his hair style and returned to repeat to the salesman, 'I would like to buy this TV.'

'Sorry, we don't sell to Sardars,' the salesman replied for a second time.
'Damn! Gatnam exploded, 'he recognized me.'

He went for a complete disguise this time, haircut, new hair colour, different clothes, big sunglasses and he waited a few days until he saw the salesman again.
'I would like to buy this TV.'

'Sorry, we don't sell to Sardars,' the salesman replied.
Angry now and frustrated, Gatnam shouted, 'How do you know I'm a Sardar?'
'Because that's a microwave,' he replied. 

Santa Has A Funny Dream

Santa kept having the same strange dream every night, so he made an appointment to see a doctor.

Doctor Ajaib: Does the door have anything written on it?
Santa: Yes it does.

Doctor: And what do these letters say?

Santa: It says, "Pull."

Santa and The Lottery Ticket

Banta finds himself in considerable trouble. His business has gone bust and he has serious financial concerns. He's so desperate that he decides to ask God for help. He goes into the temple and begins to pray:
'Oh God, please help me, I've lost my business and if I don't get some money, I'm going to lose my house as well, please let me win the lotto.'

Lotto night arrives and somebody else wins it.

Banta goes back to the temple, 'God, please let me win the lotto, I've lost my business, my house and I'm going to lose my car as well.'

Lotto night comes and Banta still has no luck!! Back to the temple he goes.
'God, why have you forsaken me? I've lost my business, my house, my car and my wife and children are starving. I don't often ask you for help and I have always been a good servant to you. Why won't you just let me win the lotto this one time so I can get my life back in order?'

Suddenly there is a blinding flash of light as the sky parts open and the Banta is confronted by the voice of the Lord, 'OYE BANTA, YOU HAVE TO BUY THE TICKET FIRST.'

On the next day Santa is again walking along the same street and the same man asks him to buy the clock. 'Give me a thousand rupees and I'll go get a ladder.'

Santa gives him the thousand and says, 'Oye, I am not a fool. This time, you wait and I'll go get a ladder.'
