       Preface

      This book is going to share with you how to see the world in HAPPY LIGHT. It is about how to always seeing the BRIGHT side of things, for example we need to lose something in order to learn, but as long as we are safe and HAPPY, we can always get it back and more!

       WHY DO WE NEED TO SEE THE WORLD AS HAPPY?

      There are people who incurred huge financial debts and when they learned to get out of the debts, they became millionaires and more! The solution they found actually helped them to increase their capacity to have more, even though the initial hardships caused them tremendous pain and suffering.

      Being HAPPY doesn’t mean suppressing your other emotions, it is letting out that, thus by not holding onto the past, you are free to pursue your DREAMS!

      Why do we always believe that Others are better in this and that, rather accepting that we are all unique and different. We may sing, dance, write better than others, thus there is division of labour where each individual has the choice to choose what you enjoy doing and exchange these “goods” and “services” with others. Goods are known as Goods simply it feels GOOD to US! (Do you want to buy BADS? Hahaha)

      The other way to see things in a HAPPY WAY is simply accepting that we allow things to unfold in its own timing, like a flower will bloom in spring and wither in autumn.

      For me, based in Singapore, where it is SUMMER all year round, since I am living on the tropical climate of the Equator that receives lots and lots of Sunshine, I would travel out of Singapore to experience the four seasons! That was the reason that captivated me to stay in UK, where I was based in Manchester, Cambridge and Glasgow. After staying in UK, I realised I missed Sunshine a lot, so it is good to be back! As such, one can always change as we discover what we enjoy and it can remain HAPPY as long as we see the bright side of thing.

      I love the cold and cloudy “gloomy” like weather because I can sleep lots, stay indoor to read and of course drink lots of HOT Tea that I constantly put on the hot water boiler in my room. And yes room temperature (20 degrees celsius) COKE taste warm and yummy in cold snowy winter (-3 degrees celsius).

      In a nutshell, we see the world as HAPPY to keep us positive and enthusiastic and appreciate our life for what it is. Only then, can we bring joy and love to those around.

       Note to readers:

      This book is meant to show you that each of us has unique experience and ways that makes us HAPPY! I am HAPPY putting together this book and bring it to the world to share. HAPPY SMILES FOR ALL! TOGETHER WE CREATE A HAPPY WORLD!
