Make a summary of the following passage in about 80 words.
The Art of Living deserves a place among the Fine Arts. Like literature, it
may be ranked with the humanities. It is the art of turning the means of
living to the best account –of making the best of everything. It is the art of
extracting from life its highest enjoyments, and through it, or reaching its
highest results.
To live happily, the exercise of no small degree of art is required. Like
poetry and painting, the art of living comes chiefly by nature; but all can
cultivate and develop it. It can be fostered by parents and teachers, and
perfected by self-culture. Without intelligence, it cannot exist.
Happiness is not, like a large and beautiful gem, so uncommon and rare,
that all search for it is vain, all efforts t attain it hopeless; but it consists of a
series of smaller and commoner gems, grouped and set together, forming a
pleasing and graceful whole. Happiness consists of in the enjoyment of little
pleasures scattered along the common paths of life, which, in the eager
search for some great and exciting joy, we are apt to overlook. It finds
delight in the performance of common duties, faithfully and honorably
fulfilled.
The art of living is abundantly exemplified in actual life (in a person who)
has the seeing eye and the intelligent mind. Nature is ever new to him. And
full of beauty. He can live in the present, rehearse the past, r anticipate the
glory of the future. With him, life has a deep meaning, and requires the
performance of duties which are satisfactory to his conscience, and are
therefore pleasurable. He improves himself, acts upon his age, and is active
in every good work. His hand is never tired, his mind is never weary. He
goes through life joyfully, helping others to its enjoyment. Intelligence, ever
