BEING HAPPY 
You may have defects, be anxious and sometimes live irritated, but do
not forget that your life is the greatest enterprise in the world. Only you can
prevent it from going into decadence. There are many that need you, admire
you and love you.
I would like to remind you that being happy is not having a sky without
storms, or roads without accidents, or work without fatigue, or relationships
without disappointments.
Being happy is finding strength in forgiveness, hope in one’s battles,
security at the stage of fear, love in disagreements.
Being happy is not only to treasure the smile, but that you also reflect
on the sadness. It is not just commemorating the event, but also learning
lessons in failures. It is not just having joy with the applause, but also having
joy in anonymity.
Being happy is to recognize that it is worthwhile to live, despite all the
challenges, misunderstandings and times of crises.
Being happy is not inevitable fate, but a victory for those who can
travel towards it with your own being.
Being happy is to stop being a victim of problems but become an actor
in history itself. It is not to cross the deserts outside of ourselves, but still
more, to be able to find an oasis in the recesses of our soul. It is to thank God
every morning for the miracle of life.
Being happy is not being afraid of one’s feelings. It is to know how to
talk about ourselves. It is to bear with courage when hearing a “no”. It is to
have the security to receive criticism, even if is unfair. It is to kiss the
children, pamper the parents, have poetic moments with friends, even if they
have hurt us.
Being happy means allowing the free, happy and simple child inside
each of us to live; having the maturity to say, “I was wrong”; having the
audacity to say, “forgive me”. It is to have sensitivity in expressing, “I need
you”; to have the ability of saying, “I love you.” So that your life becomes a
garden full of opportunities for being happy…
In your spring-time, may you become a lover of joy. In your winter, may
you become a friend of wisdom. And when you go wrong along the way, you
start all over again. Thus you will be more passionate about life. And you will
find that happiness is not about having a perfect life but about using tears to
water tolerance, losses to refine patience, failures to carve serenity, pain to
lapidate pleasure, obstacles to open the windows of intelligence.
Never give up … Never give up on the people you love. Never give up
from being happy because life is an incredible show. And you are a special
human being!

Questions:
1. Choose a phrase, sentence, or paragraph that strikes you.
2. Explain your thoughts and feelings about it. Include specific ways in which
you will develop yourself further.
