Happy v/s Unhappy People



Unhappy People

Happy People
Wait for something to make them happy
"Remember, happiness doesn't depend upon who you are or what you have, it depends solely upon what you think." ~ Dale Carnegie
Feel happy now, enjoy every moment of their life
"I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it.” ~ Groucho Marx
Envy successful people
“Envy is the art of counting the other fellow's blessings instead of your own.” ~ Harold Coffin
Admire great achievers and learn from them
"A person who can create ideas worthy of note is a person who has learned much from others." ~ Konosuke Matsushita
Envy what others have
"You can never get enough of what you don't need to make you happy." ~ Eric Hoffer
Enjoy what they have
"A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?" ~ Albert Einstein
Feel undervalued, under-rewarded, and frustrated
"The person who seeks all their applause from outside has their happiness in another's keeping." ~ Dale Carnegie
Self-confident, kind, and friendly
"Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone around you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead." ~ Charles Schwab
Fear change
 “It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.” ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Create positive change
"Those only are happy who have their minds fixed on some object other than their own happiness: on the happiness of others, on the improvement of mankind, even on some art or pursuit, followed not as a means, but as itself the ideal end. Aiming thus at something else, they find happiness by the way." ~ Norman R. Augustine
Self-focused, socially withdrawn, antagonistic
"If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have a paradise in a few years." ~ Bertrand Russell
Compassionate, loving, sociable
"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion." ~ Dalai Lama
Hate their job
"Work is the curse of the drinking classes." ~ Oscar Wilde
Love what they do
"Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has foundthe work that he likes best." ~ Napoleon Hill
Brooding, vengeful
"I've learned... That when you plan to get even with someone, you are only letting that person continue to hurt you." ~ Andy Rooney
Understanding, forgiving
"Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.” ~ Confucius
Stressed
"There is no stress in the world, only people thinking stressful thoughts and then acting on them." ~ Wayne Dyer
Creative, innovative
"Happiness is a continuous creative activity." ~ Baba Amte
Negative Thinkers
“There is only one cause of unhappiness: the false beliefs you have in your head, beliefs so widespread, so commonly held, that it never occurs to you to question them.” ~ Anthony de Mello
Positive Thinkers
"The fact that there is always a positive side to life is the one thing that gives me a lot of happiness."  ~ Dalai Lama
