Keep Busy and Get Things Done

Work is not always fun. Sometimes you might feel like you would rather do something else instead of schoolwork, chores or jobs around the house. But people who don’t work are usually not happy at all.

The man with no job, the school dropout, the child with “nothing to do,” these people are usually quite unhappy. It is hard to be around them. They can make you feel unhappy too. You should try to interest these people in fun activities and projects. Nothing makes a person feel better than completing a good project.

When you choose to keep busy and get things done you are very much on the way to happiness.
