Answer:

Money is a necessary thing but it is not the only thing that will keep us happy. So many millionaires spend sleepless nights. I want enough money for my normal expenses but not excessive money. Health is wealth is a famous quotation and I full subscribe to it. A healthy body and a healthy mind is essential to keep one happy. A sick man can never be happy. He will want to die rather than to live in misery. A healthy person can work hard and sleep well. He can eat well and enjoy all the good things of life.

I want to possess only those many things that I need for myself. I know that many numbers of things cannot make a man happy. The more things a man has, the more he wishes to have. He is never satisfied. A content man only can be happy. Midas, with all his gold was a sad man while a goldsmith is happy with his small earnings.

To be really happy, a man should lead a truthful and honest life. He should help his fellowmen and love them. A man loved and respected by other is always happy. To be guide by love in all the action is the key to happiness. We should love and fear God. We should love faith in him and pray to him.

Thus we see that a happy man is he who has enough to eat, who enjoys sound health, is contended leads a truthful and honest life and has faith in God. Such is my idea of a happy life.

My Idea of a Happy Life

Each and every-body wants to be happy. All aim at happiness, but most of us employ wrong means. Our end is happiness, but our means are not such as may take us to our goal of happiness. Then how to achieve happiness? Some people mistake pleasures for happiness and run after them. But they are mistaken. Pleasures are shallow and short lived, while happiness is a state of mind, a state of bliss which lasts long. Means of pleasure, convenience, comforts and luxury cannot make us really happy. In that case the kings, princes and the rich of the world would have been the happiest persons, because they possess wealth and comforts in abundance. Then why this saying, “Unhappy lies the head that wears a crown”.

It is a mistaken idea that wealth is the passport to the realm of happiness. Ignorant people think that only wealthy and prosperous people are happy. But on the contrary the rich are miserable people. They have neither peace, nor rest, nor health to enjoy life. They are most careworn people for they are always afraid to lose their wealth. Besides, wealth cannot be amassed by fair means. A man full of fear and using unfair means can never be happy. There is no end to desires. Man desires more and more wealth, more and more power. A multimillionaire may not consider his wealth to be enough. The more we possess, the more unhappy we are. The same idea has been expressed by Shakespeare in Measure for Measure:

Happy thou are not,

For what thou hast not, still, thou, striv’st to get,

And what thou hast, forgets.

Happiness lies in contentment and satisfaction. It does not mean that one should not strive for more, but one should strike a balance between contentment and ambition. An over-ambitious person can never be happy. Moreover, one should use one’s wealth, talent, etc., which he possesses, as a trustee and not as an owner and master. Moderation is the need of our life. If we go on craving for more and more, there is no end. What is important is that how you enjoy and use the money you already possess. Of what use is the enormous wealth in your treasury or the huge bank-balance if you do not enjoy it, or use it in the welfare of others
