7 Simple Traits Extremely Happy People Share
Are you sure you aren’t happy?
My friend Sohan has 29 teeth.
No, I’m not his dentist. Not even did I steal his hot X-ray for my Chemistry assignment. Oh, it's a Biology assignment? See, I don’t even know that.
He even showed his teeth the moment Sir announced his marks, in the online class, in front of everyone, “Sohan, you got 3 out of 70.”
“I bet he is a backbencher,” you might say. But he is the topper of our class.
He failed the exam because his mother was sick. Severely sick. He had no money for his mother’s treatment, still, he was happy.
He wasn’t like this from his birth. Last year, he was almost going to win the Baby Student of the School award, which would be presented by our Principal’s two-month-old child, because Sohan always cried for everything. But he started being happy before the reward day. Ouch.
I talked with him and figured out subtle hacks he embedded in his life that made it possible.
Ohh, by the way, earlier his teeth were the colour of banana peel. Yeah, you’re right, I peeked from his window to figure this out. I had to because he never showed his teeth earlier. Don’t tell this to him. Promise?
