First of all the scientific definition of success should be given. Happiness is an emotional or affective state that is characterized by feelings of enjoyment, pleasure, and satisfaction. As a state and a subject, it has been pursued and commented on extensively throughout world history. This reflects the universal importance that humans place on happiness.
States associated with happiness include well-being, delight, inner peace, health, safety, contentment, and love.
Aristotle believes that happiness stays within a completely final and autonomous end. The calculation behind this theory is that every man is striving for some end, and every action he does must be due to this wish to reach this end. He argues that for a human to be happy, one must live an energetic life of virtue, for this will in turn bring him closer to the end. Though some may believe that these events that the man selects to take are what make happiness, Aristotle argues that these actions are just a mere part of the striving toward the end.
Aristotle also says each man has a general concluding end within which each of the deeds fits and makes sense. This being a righteous act, could also be seen as a different action which some may deem is what brings a man to a state of happiness. When all is said and done, nevertheless, each man is striving towards the same end, happiness. This is why Aristotle believes that this end is self-adequate, meaning that all the actions the man took to accomplish this end are just structuring blocks toward the most attractive end. Happiness in the sick man resides in avoidance of pain and suffering, while the rich man finds his happiness in how others regard him. Each action simply drives the man to do more virtuous actions, bringing him closer and closer to his end.
Happiness is based on Success, it is the primary aim a person may strive for or the primary hope one has when starts an activity. Since we were younger our parents always stimulated us to do our best and to work hard at every assignment we had, either in school or in social life activities. No, we grew up, so we can realize our parents’ experience. We had a sense of happiness after we got our school certificates. We enjoyed the taste of happiness by experiencing success during primary and secondary schools.
The best taste a person can have in his life is happiness because of success. Whatever the hard of the work or the difficulty we can face but after we got the pleasing results of our acts we feel happy and satisfied with what we achieved.
The happiness measures are different among the people themselves. I mean there are classes of people find happiness in (How Much Money They Have!) or other class may fine the happiness in what they have achieved in their working life. But in my point of view, happiness is the main feeling that comes from the success of any useful act a person can do. To the people who think that happiness lies in collecting money only, I would like to send a message to them: happiness is in the way of spending the money not the way of how to collect it.
Anyway, people regard happiness as having lots of things (financial or actual). These days, this sentence has a big part not all.
The money Talks, the Money do, and the money maintain, it is only for the essentials and things but not among friends and relatives. I could wish to have the family members near in every difficult situation as an aspect of happiness, to be healthy as a bull, which is probably the main aspect of happiness. To live with the beloved person or someone who loves you and you reciprocate this feeling together. This may be called happiness.
In Muslim countries, happiness is regarded as the reaching of Heaven after summarizing the whole life, as Allah promised it to the believers. Happiness is the highest or the supreme feeling a person can feel in the warship
One aspect of happiness is achievements. It may reflect the activities and works of the state’s efforts to the people. It may appear in the eyes of the victor in a battle, whose aim is to win, in spite that there are no winners in the battles as both parts always lose, despite the volume of the losses. After all, the statement is either victory or defeat. The governors may feel happy if they achieve the setup goal to increase the people’s welfare or the successful implementation of the large-scale plans
I continue the topic of the achievements, it is necessary to emphasize, that the sportsmen know it the best, as the achievements for them are the essence of the whole their life. Every sports fan knows it, when pulling for some team one feels happy if it wins the game or the championship.
We can see the happiness in the eyes of the poor people when the charity associations arrange the charity actions, during the Aid occasions or religious occasions throughout the year, when the Red Cross Association practice its role for the refugees all over the world, to help them struggle against the natural and techno genetic disasters (Earthquakes, tsunami, volcano eruptions, epidemics, etc).
Achieving the aims of all matters is the most significant factor to bring happiness, not only for individuals in particular but also for society in general. It is easy to prove not just by repeating all the said above factors and arguments, but also by telling the fact, that there is nobody in the world who would feel unhappy after achieving the setup goal, especially, if one had been intentionally approaching it.
Some may argue if the goal achieving factor is the only for feeling happy. The answer will be “NO”, as to set the aim one should have some interests, life priorities, hobbies, and ways of leisure time spending. The fact is that one even does not have to set the goals, as possessing the mentioned above factors, the goals are usually set up by themselves.
The issue of happiness had risen in lots of the poems, dramas, novels, movies, etc, but everyone comes to the full realization of this issue only on one’s own, as everyone just feels happy only within the circumstances one creates.
Another factor that is very important for feeling happy is described in the story by Jerome K. Jerome “Nicolas Sniders’ soul”. It is said, that one can achieve the greatest ever success in life, become the richest and the most powerful. But all the wealth and powers of the world will never bring happiness if everyone bedamns you. To be happy, people just need to learn how to smile at the surrounding people. The world has drowned in vanity, and people started forgetting how to enjoy life. They try to find happiness in yoga, Feng-Shui, some exotic non-conventional religions and believes, and so on. Everything that we need to be happy is to forget the everyday routine which we create ourselves, and let alone all the puddings and breathe with the full lungs. All these may be summarized in a short expression: bring happiness to others, and you will be happy yourself. To some, it may seem paradoxical how it is possible to share the happiness and stay happy oneself, but real happiness is in the soul, but not in the things that surround us, and it is an axiom that as more soul you give, the bigger it becomes. And anyone with BIG BIG BIG soul is the happiest.
Anyway, the people are as happy, as they are determined to be, thus, if you want to be happy, just be, and never mind the circumstances.
According to world statistics, the happiest people in the world are Canadians. Despite the high level of unemployment and the great number of small cities, where the most important things like phones, hospitals, or even food shops are difficult to reach, Canadians just enjoy the surrounding nature, these people are the freest from the prejudices, as guests are always welcomed, and they may take the beverages and use the phone without asking the hosts. It shows their simplicity of life views, as they realize the insignificance of all these little things and the importance of sincerity in relations and communication.
