How to be happy? Is this the goal of your life? The secret to happiness is to do more things in a day that makes you happy, than things that make you sad.

Research has identified a number of attributes that correlate with happiness: relationships and social interaction, extraversion, marital status, employment, health, democratic freedom, optimism, endorphins released through physical exercise and eating chocolate, religious involvement, income and proximity to other happy people.
