"Don't Worry, Be Happy!"

In my working days, when work are piling up & pressures from boss are 'up-over and above' our heads, I still remember me and my group of colleagues used to say "Don't worry, be happy!" We always recall this song sung by Bobby McFerrin, as it has great meaning in it and it does help to bring our stress level down. Even in my everyday life now, whenever I am face with any worries or problems, I try to recall this song so as to cheer myself up.

As this week is 'Get Happy Week', here's to remind us all to stay happy despite whatever reason we have for unhappiness in our life so that life can be more meaningful. Let's cheer up!!

The happy Person

In a World where many have ulcers due to worry and stress
And where people are judged by material success
And since everyone answers to the reaper's call
The happy one is the most successful of all.

For the top job the happy one does not compete
And the happy one never feels sad in defeat
Not to be a hero or catch the big fish
Just to be happy in life is the happy one's wish.

The happy one can be a he or a she
But to find such a person do not look for me
Since like many others I feel weighed down by care
Though people like me they have never been rare.

The happy one everyone wishes to know
And the friends of the happy one in numbers grow
One who is not tainted by deceit or guile
And one who finds it easy to laugh and to smile.
