Once upon a time, there lived a man who was always frowning.
When he turned eighty years old, the people of his village saw him for the first time with a smile on his face. They were surprised. All the villagers came to his home and one of them asked him, ‘You have never smiled in the last eighty years. How come you are smiling now?’
The man looked at all the faces staring at him, smiled some more and said, ‘All these years, I was chasing happiness. Then I learnt to smile. Now happiness chases me.’ Hearing his words, all the villagers roared with laughter.
So don’t worry about happiness. Just smile and happiness will be all around you.
