Happiness

I'm not a terribly materialistic person.
In fact, I would say, I'm hardly one. I'm not obsessed with money, unlike some of my friends, nor am I overly concerned about materials.

I don't have to drive a BMW, I'd be happy with a moving Proton. If I can't afford one, I don't think Kancil is as bad as they exaggerate. I'm not a 'national-car hater'. I don't jeer at people driving cheap national cars on the road, nor am I disgusted with the idea of cruising the road with one.

I don't have to earn a five figure, or six figure salary; I'd be happy earning what I need, and I can always save up for what I want. I believed you can never earn enough for what you want anyway. Once you have more, you'll use more. There's a malay proverb somewhere but it's somewhere else now. You may disagree with me, but that's not my problem.

I don't need to be a Dato', or someone really important, as long as I know I'm important to those that really matters.

I'd rather be a satisfied Nokia 1110 user (yes I am, black and white), rather than a complaining Iphone 4 user lusting for Iphone 5.

So you see, I'm a very simple person. I don't want much, I don't need much.
I just want to be happy. That's all.

I don't do, buy or have something to be happy. I'm happy just the way it is.
I create happiness from nothing, because I don't believe happiness comes with anything. It's something in you. You don't need to have something to be happy. You can be happy just the way you are. It's your mindset. You can choose to see the glass as half full, or half empty.

Beauty does not come from the layer of makeup you put on, true beauty comes from within.
Just as happiness does not come from the amount of money you earn, true happiness comes from within.

No matter what the source of your happiness is, may you find it, and keep it.
