Our life is just a short interval between birth and death. Just imagine how nice it will be if we make others happy all the time throughout our lives! For the existence of a person on earth he need care and affection from persons around him. Without others around him, it is literally impossible for him to live on earth. So it is important that you don't annoy others around you. 

I had always been fascinated by Dale Carnegie's books, especially "How to Win Friends And Influence people". For the same reason, I would like to apologise in advance if my work seems to resemble too much of what is written in that book. Anyway, here are some of my views on how to make people happy

1. Do NOT criticise too much 

It is better if you don't criticise others at all. Criticism in a way will help your dear ones improve a lot. But try not to hurt them through criticisms. DON'T point out the negative point at first. Just give a positive point about the thing and then pont out where to improve. For example, if your friend sings well but he/she can't take high pitch that well, just tell him/her in this way. "Hey buddy, you've got a nice voice. But if you take a little more care about the high pitches in that song, it will sound better". Just try out this tip and you will find more people asking you suggestions.

2. As you sow, so wil you reap.

You will get affection from others only if you give them some. If you want to be happy, try spreading happiness around the people you like.

3. A bit of sharing can help at times

Develop the habit of sharing. Don't get selfish about your things. Don't act in a possessive manner-it will only disgust people around you. You should have enough mind to share your food as well as your thoughts. 

4. Be a good listener

To be popular in a group, you need to have good leadership qualities. The most important among the leadership qualities is the ability to listen. Be a better listener than a speaker. People will never be impressed y long hours of speech about your life.

5. Laughter is the best medicine. 

Have you seen the all-time comedy Bruce Almighty? In the movie, God himself tells Bruce that he has got a divine gift- Sense of humor. If you believe that you've got good sense of humour, just try that ability at a friend who looks gloomy and he/ she will start smiling. Even you will get a mental satisfaction to see that, wont you?

6. Never boast about oneself

This is continuation of the point mentioned in #3. Never try to give out a longspeech about yourself in front of the public. Never try flattering others in public either.

7. Accept people as they are.

If your friend/ someone you know possess some bad quality ( eg: bad temper) DO NOT complain about that all the time. It will only make them feel worser.

8. Think before you act.

You must think before you act and before you speak, because you can't take back the words you tell once.
