I don't need happiness big time, but all I need is happiness in small sets. So be it anything, those small small moments are more precious than the big ones.
So if tomorrow my dad buys me a car wudn't I be happy? I would definately but that wouldn't bring me eternal satisfaction. Big things come in small packages, and it's a famous saying by mother teresa that "Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love".
A year ago, I had given my BSc in chemistry exam and trust me studying chemistry was one heck of a task. Maybe surviving in roadies would be much easier with all those mucky tasks around. People who have studied chemisty or opted for chemistry would be able to understand what am I exactly talking about. So this was a very daunting task for me, and as I was not interested in BSc from the initial stage itself this task seemed very difficult. Still I had in the back of my mind that I wouldn't give up and waste a year or two. I studied and gave my best, seriously my best and I passed. My mom dad both had got to know that I was a noob at all those chem formulaes. They at times felt bad for me but kept pushing me that I could make it and I did pass eventually. The day when I told at home that I passed, my dad was overjoyed. He took our entire family for dinner, the next day distributed sweets and called up every possible relative and informed them that I passed.
Initially I was irritated that why is he calling everyone and informing about me passing, later I realized that he was actually even more happier than what I was. The happiness in knowing that he is happy because of me was much greater than the happiness I felt when I saw my results that I passed.
Such small happiness are much greater than the bigger ones. I own a scooty, and if you'd ask me to compare the happiness that I felt when I was gifted a scooty and the happiness when I saw my dad happy because of me, I would always prefer and choose the happiness felt by my dad.
We all come across such small smaal happiness but we prefer to overlook it. Maybe his happiness was much greater than my happiness on hearing that I passed. Well who knows? Don't miss out on such opportunities.
Share the story on your side if you have come across small small happiness which mattered more than the bigger ones.
