    Everybody desires to be happy in life and interestingly the requirements to be cheerful vary from person to person. This is the main reason why defining happiness is not that easy. However, there are some common things that are regarded important to be delighted in life.
   Many at times, people may even find something or someone to tie their Happiness to, but the Fact still remains that if that anchor is short lived, then what will you hold on to?
   
    This topic has been discussed by different sect of people. Here are some response From writers

SAMPLE 1:

    Defining happiness is quite challenging because the requirements to achieve it is not fixed. While someone dreams that his economic freedom would make him happy, a very rich man dreams about having a caring family to be happy. Similarly, a couple who do not have any child think about having a baby all the time and would be ready to do anything for that. On the contrary, many poor families, mostly in poor countries, find more children to be their burden. The practical world is quite puzzling and the humankind wants more than they have. When a person’s aim or expectation is fulfilled, he wants more and this is a never ending process. This is why happiness is not a simple word that we can describe with a neat and precise definition.

SAMPLE 2:

   It is quite laborious to find out an actual definition for the term HAPPINESS. The reason for this is that happiness means different thing to different people. Most people may have at least one hobby or a treat which could help them to uplift their spirits instantly. While for some people, it might be their job or a career which brings them a sense of fulfilment. At the same time, for others, personal belongings are paramount of a serene life. To take an example of a web designer, Richard Jackson, who believes that the key element for a pleasurable life is a close relationship. In my case, happiness is when I am taking my time out of a hectic routine to spend a quality time along with my family.

SUMMARY

 To some, it is having more than what they have at present, to others its an element of tangibles, family and jobs. For me i tell you to keep your loved ones close and others closer and you will find Happiness, especially when you make them happy too!

 HARNESSING YOUR POTENTIAL

I believe that every one has the ability of a leader. though, in the scale of 1 to 10, some may measure as much as 5, some 3, some 7, and you can still find those in the 10 scale, naturally, it is very difficult to get a youth in that kind of scale. Naturally you may find them around the scale of 5,6 or even 7. But this ability (potential) is like a buried treasure whose beauty is so great yet covered in the mud.

Very few (in my part of the world) are really interested in looking for it and if he ventures to pick himself up in search of his leadership potential, 85% will do it for their selfish interest.
This way you will never get to tap into the real thing because when you scratch the surface and see a little of leadership accolades, you get carried away... So therefore, it is due, that you look withing yourself and harness that God-given potency in you!
