Package for Happiness

HOUSE is one of my favorite serials , one thing that I like about the serial is that how puzzle ( HOUSE word for a MEDICAL CASE) is being solved with ideas that come from nowhere.
I have had certain experience like this lately.

Let me write down the whole conversation here for my ref also.

We started with a question how much salary is good enough ?

How hard we should work to get that dream salary?

While trying to answer the question, my initial answer was to have a package which will not let you think twice before buying anything.
His response was there are people who are more happier in this world earning far less than your dream salary.
Further he added , there are even more percentage of people who are not happy having earned that dream salary , because during the course , their dream salary has actually become something which is statistically outside the 99% confidence interval ( i am an actuary. ....).Hence they are not happy.

So my question was ... What is the recipe of being happy ?

He just said , Being happy is not being rich or being able to afford , being happy is just state of mind. World is going to fuck you, if you don't like it , you are being raped and if you like it ... its the best thing .

Now , its his turn of asking questions,

What will make you happy ?? What will you do to make yourself Happy( NOT THE SINGH IS KING ONE ) ?

My response was ( after a while ) that i want to travel a lot and do lots of photography, love to live a comfortable life with lovely lady and kids who are above average in Studies and love to play a lot.

My response was to have a good network of friends with whom i hang out a lot and enjoy every party. To have a laptop and a collection of good blogs which has a lot of readers.

Suddenly i realized , all these things does not require a dream salary but an average salary. Even to my surprise i didn't have in the list of becoming a entrepreneur or some big businessman.

My friends do say i get influenced very easily, may be because my friend is so simple that i too have my goals influenced. I don't know but whatever it is i can see myself happy in the setting.
