People always try to be somebody special, someone who is seemingly more intelligent by neglecting their ordinary happiness. But they should know happiness means ordinary things that we take for granted, such as nourishing friendships, sharing memorable moments with friends at school and so on…and that in the end, happiness is the ultimate success.

Elevated...

Rarest of things, often small in number,
like Gold, Diamond, precious things, remember.
People, attracted towards it only for pleasure,
with greed for material, is beyond one's measure.

Amassing wealth beyond one's need,
Often grows that ego from the Devil's seed,
and that tree bears the fruits of sorrow,
once eaten your thoughts for good deeds do narrow.

Often People flock around you just for your money,
away they will go their way, when they find you don't have any,
The real wealth comes from the happiness you share,
from service to mankind, you'll find people who care.

Put all that abundance into good, noble deed,
soon you'll find peace, and thus departs your greed.
you will take a position of a happiness giver,
because you will be elevated in the minds of people forever.

Radiating Happiness

Lovely flowers gaily bloom,
To dispel gloom
And loom
Happiness.

Beautiful birds joyously swing,
And sweetly sing,
To ring
Happiness.

The silver moon slowly peeps
Over the ocean deeps,
And seeps
Happiness.

The cool flowing water-fall,
From the mountain tall
Does install
Happiness.

So, you, the intelligent man,
In your life-span,
Do fan
Happiness!

The difference between stupid and intelligent people - and this is true whether or not they are well-educated - is that intelligent people can handle subtlety.

Who wants the intelligent?

The intelligent one is ungrateful.
His eyes are on steps ahead
Not on the ones trodden.
The intelligent one is unreliable.
His eyes are on the steps ahead
Not on the one he is on.
He reaches the end by bending the means..
Who wants intelligent people?

Ch 08 On Rules For Conduct In Life - Maxim 05

The country is adorned by intelligent and the religion by virtuous men. Padshahs stand more in need of the advice of intelligent men than intelligent men of the proximity of padshahs.

If thou wilt listen to advice, padshah,
There is none better in all books than this:
‘Entrust a business to an intelligent man
Although it may not be his occupation.’

What Happiness Is

happiness
is bliss

happiness,
is when you get a new puppy
happiness,
is when you get married
happiness,
is when you go on you first date
happiness,
is making your own decisions
happiness,
is graduating
happiness,
is getting you first job
happiness,
is falling in love
happiness
is being proud of who you are

happiness
is bliss

happiness,
is glowing
happiness,
is fun
happiness,
is an amazing feeling
happiness,
is when you smile all day
happiness,
is giving someone a hug just because you can
happiness,
is that light in your eyes
happiness,
is what makes the world go around

happiness,
is bliss

Happiness

Happines give me the strength,
I need
Happiness teaches us what the,
life means
A loving word and gentle kiss
It's like a sunflower; it follows,
the things you enjoy in your,
life

Happiness is the wey to success
Happiness never takes you down
You are my happiness
You cheer me when I am angry

Eliminating passion is not happiness
Happiness is
Having someone by your side to,
love

One thing is happiness to me
is you.

Treasure Those Moments

what makes one happy
well it depends on the person
some people find happiness in the simple things
others dont take much notice
some people find happiness from people
in many different ways
some people find happiness from the important things
but to sum it up, we all find happiness sometime
even if its just a second,
it was still there right?
you should treasure those moments for as long as possible
happiness is a gift for us
laugh as much as possible
it involves smileing
which implies amusement
which implies pleasure
which implies happiness
maybe not always
nothing is ever always
not even your spirit
which continues on for a while
but my point is
to not waste your life
find happiness
and dont let things bring you down

Ode To happiness

an ode to happiness

happiness is one of the many emotions
maybe the greatest off all
it can make you feel all jumpy inside
a first kiss, first love
its all to do with happiness.
but yet happiness never gets thanked
for every thing it has done for us
so im saying thank you for bringing me steven, amy, fayeness, india and everyone else
that means something to me
thank you happiness

Reality of life...

All those minding the attitude of multitude,
Aren't dragged into the den of solitude,
All those who are at the den of solitude,
Aren't minding the attitude of multitude,
All those who learn to read the mind of people,
Aren't energized to be useful,
All those who are energized to be useful,
Aren't reading the mind of the people,
All those who succeed are not intelligent,
All those who are intelligent are not successful,
All flowers that bloomed will not become seeds,
All those seeds not produce flowers indeed,
All those who succeed in life are not intelligent,
All those who are intelligent are not successful, .

Happiness is not a thing called Joe

Happiness is not a thing called Joe,
Happiness doesn't have a name,
If you discovered love and God,
Then you have happiness and fame.

Happiness is not the wind, Maria,
Happiness is love with a friend,
If you have friends and family,
Then that is happiness to send.

Love isn't sex and a one night stand,
Love is there for who will take your hand,
Love is wonderful, and simply grand,
Love is a heart that takes to understand.

If you have happiness, then you have love,
If you have love, happiness is also there,
One does not exclude the other, not ever,
You will possess both in this endeavor.

Happiness In A Bottle

My stomach hurts
my liver failed
to much happiness prevailed
happiness comes in certain shapes
it comes in only shades of brown or transparency
it demolishes hurt and lessens dignity
another shot of happiness
another dose of emptiness
happiness a endless bliss
mix it with some flavors and smoothness
makes you feel invincible
makes your stomach dance and whirl
the doctors say to much of happiness isnt good for you
happiness takes you out of reality and makes things untrue
every one that doesn't have it want it
and every one that has it want more
some people despise others that have it
they send them to letter meetings
and blame them for recklessness
how could some thing so good be so bad
for years ive known only happiness comes in cans
and glass bottles to
while every ones searching for their so called happiness
ive already found mines in brew.

My Longing

I wonder if you could share with me
The happiness of what you are with
And after what I have shared
With whatever I ever offered
Except pains and sorrows
Some sweetness remains
I wonder if you could share with me
The happiness of what you're with
For I've been sharing you the very thing
I have ever enjoyed
And what other people all can share
I also want to share your happiness

She is so beautiful

She is so beautiful,

she is like a flower,

it is certainly her power.

She is like a lily.

So what that she is silly?

Is her beauty happiness?

No, it's her emptiness.

If her beauty hasn't a soul

it's just a dole.

But... a man's excitement

comes into his own;

the sweetest dreams his mind has grown.

Who loves intelligent woman?

Why should we solve this charade?

He'll better go and watch

the beauties parade.

If she had just a bit less of brain

then she could get a reward

and his love could remain.

That beautiful doll can only giggle.

She can't hear a fiddle.

It's too hard for her to understand

how a man appeared on this Land.

Yes, a man loves intelligent woman

but just to be his friend.

It looks as he is afraid

to loose his world of freedom

and be band.

Is her intelligence happiness?

No. It's just her loneliness.

She doesn't ask God for more.

What for?

She would like to gather some wisdom

so that sometimes

to look like a fool

and play different games

without any rule.
