What do you do to make yourself happy?
To make myself happy I like to do a lot of positive things and I also reward myself
whenever I achieve something. Hanging out with friends or playing any sport also
makes me feel happy but the thing out of which I get the maximum happiness is by
helping others, so I go to the temples and help the needy
4. 
Why are children generally happier than adults?
Children are normally joyful as they have no stress of work and they have less
awareness about the negative things in the world. They are at a learning stage so
they like to enjoy whatever they are doing. They find unique and creative ways to
enjoy themselves even with minimal things.
