your Happiness Account
Did you know that you have a happiness account?
I learned about it from a story told by my Grandfather.It is really very simple and works like this:
When you make some one smile,or do something to help someone ,or maybe just say a kind word you get points added to your account.Now if you say an unkind word or cause someone to be unhappy you lose points.The moral of this story is that we must always strive to keep our account as far as possible on the plus side. We all do things without thinking that makes some one sad, so we must keep enough in our account to cover these mistakes.
Now, the best way to make someone smile is to put a big smile on your face.Smiles are contagious and so are frowns, so always wear a smile.You will be surprised how happy you will be to see everyone smiling and say"look what I started". Now i'm not sure who's keeping books on this account,but I think I will start working on building up a better balance.
These exact words are my own and wont be found in the original story but convey the same message as the story.From a story by E A Brenholtz
