Build A Happy Life!
How to build a happy life?
That was the question a group of early 20 year old's try to study and have a recipe for their own lives.
They came up with that recipe after a lot of unilinear discussions, and feudalistic deliberations.
Finally, with the logical pursuit, they have come up with the recipe that they want to adopt for having a happy life.
What is it?
Ingredients (in no particular order!).
Happiness.
Find something that gives you HAPPINESS.

It has to financially sustain you.
Now, ensure that you boil down to doing IT (the work and the activity that gives you happiness, where you give 100% of your TIST and probably is serving others). Indulge in that activity in a way it earns ENOUGH for you on a monthly basis, possibly for a medium term.
