    Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.

    Whatever I am writing , I am writing with my experience. It is easier to make elders happy than youngsters because they dont expect anything rather than love. Just give them a hug , love them and appreciate them and they are on the top of the world. In young age whatever we do we do without our knowledge sometimes and later when we grow up we realise that somethings we did not know and did not do it properly. Instead of repenting later it is better to do it at that time . If we make elders happy we get their blessings and good wishes too. Especially when old people are suffering from any illness if we go and see them and console them and wish them good health they feel very happy and bless us. I have experienced this because I had the opportunity to serve my mother,. father and grandmother during their last days and their blessings only has made me what I am today. They always show me the right path and I am able to do the right thing at the right time

    Same way we can make children happy with love and affection and the gifts we take for them brings a smile on their face. Whatever gift we give them they feel happy and cling to us. Not only for the gift but for the love we show them. Whereas it is difficult to please other people , some may point out our mistakes and some are jealous with us because we are enjoying life.

    To be seventy years young is sometimes far more cheerful and hopeful than to be forty years old.

    Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

    Listen to your elders' advice. Not because they are always right, but because they have more experience of Being Wrong.

    This post of yours reminded me of a small poem that goes as follows

    The time to be happy is now and the place to be happy is here..
    N the way to be happy is to make someone happy
    And to have a little heaven right here..
    And to have a little heaven right here..

    Hi Madam,

    It is good and informative posting.
    And high time youngsters adopted this.
    I'm trying my level best to follow this,
    everyday I call up my mother (70 years old) who is 300 kms
    far away from me, find out her well being and visit her every month.

    Your title reminded me of a quote from Ayn Rand - Atlas Shrugged
