Quote by Mahatma Gandhi

The fragrance always remains on the hand that gives the rose.

True Happiness -By Swami Vivekananda

Desire, want, is the father of all misery. Desires are bound by the laws of success and failure. Desires must bring misery. The great secret of true success, of true happiness, is this: the person who asks for no return, the perfectly unselfish person, is the most successful.

The 10 steps to happiness

1. Plant something and nurture it

2. Count your blessings - at least five - at the end of each day

3. Take time to talk - have an hour-long conversation with a loved one each week

4. Phone a friend whom you have not spoken to for a while and arrange to meet up

5. Give yourself a treat every day and take the time to really enjoy it

6. Have a good laugh at least once a day

7. Get physical - exercise for half an hour three times a week

8. Smile at and/or say hello to a stranger at least once each day

9. Cut your TV viewing by half

10.Spread some kindness - do a good turn for someone every day
