A to Z of happiness

gypsy gal
By gypsy gal

A--Accept
Accept others for who they are and for the choices they've made even if you have difficulty understanding their beliefs, motives, or actions.

B--Break Away
Break away from everything that stands in the way of what you hope to accomplish with your life.

C--Create
Create a family of friends whom you can share your hopes, dreams, sorrows, and happiness with.

D--Decide
Decide that you'll be successful and happy ‘come-what-may’ and good things will find you. The roadblocks are only minor obstacles along the way.

E--Explore
Explore and experiment. The world has much to offer, and you have much to give. And every time you try something new, you'll learn more about yourself.

F--Forgive
Forgive and forget. Grudges only weigh you down and inspire unhappiness and grief. Soar above it, and remember that everyone makes mistakes.

G--Grow
Leave the childhood monsters behind. They can no longer hurt you or stand in your way.

H--Hope
Hope for the best and never forget that anything is possible as long as you remain dedicated to the task.

I--Ignore
Ignore the negative voice inside your head. Focus instead on your goals and remember your accomplishments. Your past success is only a small inkling of what the future holds.

J--Journey
Journey to new worlds and new possibilities, remain open-minded. Try to learn something new every day, and you'll grow.

K--Know
Know that no matter how bad things seem, they'll always get better. The warmth of spring always follows the harshest winter.

L--Love
Let love fill your heart instead of hate. When hate is in your heart, there's room for nothing else, but when love is in your heart, there's room for endless happiness.

M--Manage
Manage your time and your expenses wisely, and you'll suffer less stress and worry. Then you'll be able to focus on the important things in life.

N--Notice
Never ignore the poor, infirm, helpless, weak, or suffering. Offer your assistance when possible, and always your kindness and understanding.

O--Open
Open your eyes and take in all the beauty around you. Even during the worst of times, there's still much to be thankful for.

P--Play
Never forget to have fun along the way. Success means nothing without happiness.

Q--Question
Ask many questions, because you're here to learn.

R--Relax
Refuse to let worry and stress rule your life, and remember that things always have a way of working out in the end.

S--Share
Share your talent, skills, knowledge, and time with others. Everything that you invest in others will return to you many times over.

T--Try
Even when your dreams seem impossible to reach, try anyway. You'll be amazed by what you can accomplish.

U--Use
Use your gifts to your best ability. Talent that's wasted has no value. Talent that's used will bring unexpected rewards.

V--Value
Value the friends and family members who've supported and encouraged you, and be there for them as well.

W--Work
Work hard every day to be the best person you can be, but never feel guilty if you fall short of your goals. Every sunrise offers a second chance.

X--X-Ray
Look deep inside the hearts of those around you and you'll see the goodness and beauty within.

Y--Yield
Yield to commitment. If you stay on track and remain dedicated, you'll find success at the end of the road.

Z--Zoom
Zoom to a happy place when bad memories or sorrow rears its ugly head. Let nothing interfere with your goals. Instead, focus on your abilities, your dreams, and a brighter tomorrow.

You are all so right and so humble in your opinions. You think you are all so important because you have your clique but your opinion is not the general opinion be sure.

You are disappointing me now... the last time I read her post, she meant nothing like what you say she did.

And just for the record, no one on here thinks he/she is GOD... don't you remember the 1st of the 10 commandments?

You want to discuss ABC of life??????Don't you think that also everyone from 2 year old to grannies moreoless know it????????

And if you were living and not a tadpole in 60's -70's you know it more than all of us.......LOL

By Colt45• 14 Aug 2007 10:17

Whoever said you were fishing for tadpoles? Umm... that wouldn't be me.

And German TV did you say? Ewww that really sucks... all the time I am in Germany I watch German TV, because that is all they fooking have on TV and yeh, forever showing old nude women... so... i opt for Pay TV... ;-P

Ok you don't need to look at a Porn site, just look at the advetisements the show you everything from a naked baby po to pampers for old men and ladies nothing is left out. So imagination is everything.

As I watch much more German TV than English, even the cosmetic companies are showing naked grannies on the TV now. So what is the question here?

The actual thread was the ABC of life which in all good faith, if I was bored I would read but would like to see some good discussion and not crybabies. Got it. LOL

Colt

I was already living a good life and not fishing for tadpoles however???

By Colt45• 14 Aug 2007 10:08

I bet Gypsy's kid he's much older than that 2 year old you've talked about doesn't know EVERYTHING!

As far as grannies are concerned, they won't be grannies anyway hadn't they known WHAT IS TO BE DONE IN BED! LOL

That was a lame statement, I'd say.

Damn! Way back in the 60's and early 70's I wasn't even in tadpole form. For that matter, I don't think I was even thought of... lol!!!

So yeh... kinda dig that old school porn as well. And what sites are you referring to... fill me in...;-P

By anonymous• 14 Aug 2007 09:57
anonymous

At least I was able to draw the attention of a few here and believe me colt was in on that, I just could not remember all names.

Porn well you know this is so boring as if a bicycle would fall down in China.

Porno days are over this was in the "hippy" 60's 70's days when all good girls were virgins. The sites are so boring and everyone from a two year old to a granny khows what to do.!!!!!

Well aren't you glad that you don't have much time on hands to read lines on QL when your bosses are back. Atleast you won't have to put up with the loads of crap written by us! :)

At least I managed to raise a couple of questions. Normally I don't have much time to spend here but due to vacation of various bosses I have a litle time to read and answer. I have to admit I am a little on the sarcastic side but love to intimidate.

Yes you are right the QL site is boring and leads people to believe that there is a certain clique or group of people who are aquainted with each other writing the utmost rubbish I have ever read in my life (not even a chat site)becaue no one says anything explicit.

By rayyz• 14 Aug 2007 09:45

Absolutely right! I am one of those boring people on QL. Thinking of giving up my nick and take up Mr. Bored instead.

QL to me has become more of a chat site!

We are actually planning a membership scheme to join our gang. For that you need to treat us at one of the leading restaurant in Doha. LOL

P.s. If you didn't realise it yet, most of my above lines were sarcastic. I do try to help people with genuine queries, provided I know answers to them. What else would you like a person to do when there aren't many threads created with genuine inquiries. I have no inquiries related to living in Qatar. If I did, I'd have created a new thread by now anyway. Most of the newly created threads these days are either email forwards or jokes. Any suggestion?

Your thread seems to have met with a little (no understanding)!!

Owen for one: can't read or at least doesn't read and doesn't know what the letter "F" stands for. In considereation and haveing read the rest of the posts in the past few days, I would assume we all want news and new discussion on QL. Or is this the "Summer Slump".

We have the "Good Morning" thread (boring to tears)

We have the "Good Night" thread (boring to tears)

We have "Owen" "Knoxcollege" "rayzz" "GG" and many others exchangeing comments under themselves - my question where is the real QL that used to be here??

Seems to me a lot of boring people around with nothing to say.

Could I be right??

Well honestly, it wasn't my doing okay. Previously Han19 walked in McDonald's to pick up tickets from KS, I didn't expect her to be there, else I'd have escaped. Then this time GG came in unannounced too!

Hey don't blame me for it alrite, I did invite you yesterday, you were the one who said, "Nah... am still in my nightie at 3 PM and I can't go out now like this" LOL

happiness is not something to be taught. it is something you feel, having peaceful life, not having enemies, smiling most of the time, laughing to tears sometimes, feeling and knowing those whom you care for are happy, and the most important test is if you can sleep well (unless one is in love or having financial problems)
