What happiness means to me?

Happiness is a feeling which shows liking your life. When you learned to treasure your life, you will do each and every way to gain happiness in your life. To me, the greatest happiness comes not from thinking of myself, but from helping others. When you help others, the happiness feeling comes naturally. Money does not bring happiness to me. Family and friends bring happiness to me. They are always there whenever you need them and will always give encouragement to me. Money can't replace the love and happiness I gained from my family and friends. It's priceless. That's what happiness means to me in my life.

Colour Poem....

Green are the trees
that shade me
day and night.

Blue is the sea
that glitters
under the bright Sun.

Red is the blood
that flows
like the river.

Yellow is the yolk
that sits firmly
in the shell.

Summary of the story :


This story is about a boy who had a bad temper. His family and friends were afraid of his bad temper that none would come near him. One day, he bought a new pair of boots and told his neighbour that he will join them in the field. When he turned up, nobody was there. His anger grew. He went home with his bad temper. He kicked his boots towards his father who was watering the plants. The boots almost hit his father who was standing a few inches away. Then, he went inside his room and shouted when he noticed that his towel was not there. His father wore a piece of 'sarong' and knocked on the door with his son's towel. He acted like a servant to his son. The boy looked at his father and felt wrong. He told his father not to do this to him and he admitted that he was bad. He apologised and asked help from his father to help him turn over a new leaf. His father forgave him and agreed to help his son. He gave his son a box of nails and a hammer. He told him to hammer a nail into the wooden fence whenever he loses his temper. The boy followed his instructions and hammer a nail into the wooden fence each day. After a while, he discovered that he can control his temper and told his father that he don't need these nails anymore. His father smiled and took back the nails. Then, he told his son to keep the hammer and pulled out one nail each day. The days passed and the boy told his father that all nails in the fence were gone. The father took his son's hand and asked his son to look at the holes in the fence. He told his son that the fence will never be the same and no matter how many time you say sorry, the wound will still be there. The boy understood and apologised to his father. He had learned his lessons.
