Shortcut to Happiness...

Today, when I was getting out, one of my friend asked that once I told him, his relation with his wife will be cold. He is getting married within 3 months. Now he asks, why I said that.

I was confused, when I told that, he was not that type of guy. Then, why? I told that, you have grown chariest. But, as it goes, everyone forgets the reason why they are in this race. I took the example of another friend. She doesn't like to work, she doesn't like job. But still she is doing it. That's not the problem. Problem is, she doesn't know why she is
doing all these. It is killing her slowly.

When I was in school, I was constantly persuaded by my parents to study hard so that I could stand First, Second or Third. Then I was forced to take Science in stead of Music on my Secondary school. Somehow, I got Star marks and it continued throughout my Higher Secondary. The pressure didn't fall, persuasion went on and on. Like I'm in the
world not to live, to race.

At university, I dived into the vast realm of knowledge. I tried to learn, I tried to know. My friends got freaked out. Why am I like this? Why I am in no hurry! Why am I not racing? I had to learn some hard
cold truth also. You have to attend class regularly, maintain a good CGPA to have a carrier. But that's not the problem. The problem was, everyone said, if you don't have a good carrier you are doomed. I asked. Why? Answer was, you can't be happy without a good carrier. You have to shine and shine in life to be happy.

Then, I asked, what are the requirements of
being happy? Isn't it a state of mind? Are there any formulae to be happy? Are there any proof, if I dive into the race I will be happy? There was no answer this time.

I see everyone is competing with their life to win. But, to win what? Is it happiness? Is there any shortcut to happiness? Is there any formulae to achieve it? Can anyone answer me?...
