Share your happiness

If you are happy, you want other people to be happy as well. Happy people will go an extra mile to ensure they put a smile on someone's face because they want to share their happiness with others.

Enough sleep

You are happy when others succeed

Do you find yourself frowning when your friends achieve something? Well, a happy person is always pleased to see others succeed in life. However, only a person who is unhappy can sulk at a friend's success.
