The secret of happiness...........

While seeing my dear friend Ayush Rathi enjoying every bit of the batch party in O2 disc lounge, I was struck with a thought which has kept me puzzling over the years:

“He might be having his own problems and hurdles in life, then how can he pretend to be happy”

(Happiness these days is a pretension where you conceal your sorrows, problems which you are facing in your personal lives as no one has the audacity to say “I am perfectly happy with my life”)

And that is the best skill to possess as people are less empathetic and more sympathetic nowadays where they can lament on anyone’s problems but cannot feel it. And when you can’t feel it, there is no point lamenting on it, ultimately increasing the sorrows of other person. So the big question lies How do they do it……………..???????

And interestingly that’s where I found an answer to this question…………….!!!!!!!!!!

Few days back I went to an apparel store in a nearby mall which was so elegantly designed and properly arranged that I had no problems in choosing the best outfit for me. When I moved towards the trial room for having a try of my selection, I saw a small room nearby where some clothes were being kept. I asked the salesperson about that small store room and he answered instantly that “This is our stock of worst collections which are either damaged or are not good enough to be displayed”

Taking the talk further he revealed that we have a check-up process before displaying our products to the shelves and hence our customers always find it convenient to find the best one out of it and I said “So you hide these apparels and display the best of them”

And that’s where the secret of being happy lies as you must display the best out of you, concealing all the sorrows and problems (unless you have empathetic people around you)……………

“The secret of being happy lies in how finely you conceal your sorrows………..”

While no one can say that Ayush Rathi doesn’t have any problems in his life, but how skillfully he manages them is the real art of management……….. An electrified person who compelled me to think “Why I can’t be so happy leaving behind all that failures and sorrows I have for that moment”

While your failures, past mistakes and sorrows can’t be erased, they can be repaired constantly………. and that is what the salesperson answered when I asked him “What do you do with your worst stocks”

He said “Concealing for that moment and then repairing them”………..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
