A few tips for Happiness

Everyone knows that humans are social animals and its very human to interact with other humans. But do we understand the value of these interaction in our daily lives?

We usually talk and interact mostly with a very small number of humans that we know well and hesitate to interact with strangers as we know ' Stranger is Danger'

But happiness is when you say 'hi' to the people you see in your street when you go out. Saying good morning to people standing close to you waiting for the cab, train or bus when going to work daily with a smile on your face get many smiles back to you.

Asking the bus driver that you see daily on your way back to work or asking the cab driver how is he will also make you feel happy when he smiles and tells you about it.

I don't mean to get close to every stranger you see, there may be some very strange people out there too, but I do prefer talking to the shopkeeper that I meet almost daily to buy snacks or daily life things and asking him how is he and how is his family doing.

Saying hello and have a nice day to the people you see in an elevator of your building or escalator you use daily would also make a difference.

Did you ever try leaving a box of sweets for the cleaning guy with a thank you note?

I heard in Egypt they make amazing graffiti, a piece of art, or nice saying or a quote makes it looks nice for people instead of leaving an advertisement or bad news on the wall. I also heard that in  middle east somewhere people put a refrigerator outside their house with meals and drinks inside so that anyone in need of something to eat or drink in a warm day can get get things out of that refrigerator.

Nice and kinds words and deeds cost nothing and buy everything.
