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.
