It's unusual to change from a pauper into a millionaire in a day. Happiness is knowing that some things take more time. We can start by working on what we can change immediately.<o:p></o:p></P><P><A title=blocked::http://richgrad.com/links/andrewmatthews/ href="http://richgrad.com/links/andrewmatthews/" target=_blank><SPAN title=blocked::http://richgrad.com/links/andrewmatthews/ style="TEXT-DECORATION: none"></SPAN></A><o:p></o:p></P><H3><STRONG>4) Put a smile on your face. It changes how you think.</STRONG><o:p></o:p></H3><P>I was teaching a friend to ice-skate last Friday evening and there was this beautiful girl I met while getting a drink. She smiled as we both walked towards the vending machine. I smiled back and allowed her to buy her drink first.<o:p></o:p></P><P>While on the ice-skating rink, we passed each other a couple of times. I was trying to keep my friend on his feet while she was falling happily on the ice with hers. Our eyes met again. She smiled and I smiled back.<o:p></o:p></P><P>Then as she was making her way out of the rink, I smiled and waved goodbye. She smiled back. I could hear her friends asking "Is that your friend?" I didn't catch her reply but I remembered her turning towards me with another smile. I returned the smile with a wave to her bewildered friends.<o:p></o:p></P><P>We didn't exchange a single word. We didn't need to. The smiles were enough to brighten up both our days.<o:p></o:p></P><H3><STRONG>5) Whatever you get, accept it and deal with it</STRONG><o:p></o:p></H3><P>All too often, when something bad happens, we are too quick to point fingers and start placing blame on everyone else. Happiness is about accepting responsibility and dealing with what comes your way.
