The secret of Happiness راز شادمانی در چیست؟

The certain shopkeeper sent his son to learn about the secret of happiness from the wisest man in the world. The lad wandered through the desert for forty days and finally came upon a beautiful castle high atop a mountain. It was there that the wise man lived
"Rather than finding a saintly man, though, our hero , on entering the main room of the castle, saw a hive of activity : tradesman came and went, people were conversing in the corners, a small orchestra was playing soft music, and there was a table covered with platters of the most delicious food in that part of world . The wise man conversed with every one, and the boy had to wait for tow hours before it was his turn to be given the man’s attention.
The wise man listened attentively to the boy’s explanation of why he had come , but told him that he didn’t have time just then to explain the secret of happiness. He suggested that the boy look around the palace and return in two hours.
Meanwhile , I want to ask you to do some thing , said the wise man handing the boy a tea spoon that held two drops of oil . As you wander around, carry this spoon with you without allowing the oil to spill.
The boy began and descending the many stairway of the palace, keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. After two hours, he returned to the room where the wise man was. "well” asked the wise man did you see the Persian tapestries that are hanging in my dining hall? did you see the garden that it look the master garden ten years to create? Did you notice the beautiful parchment in my library?
The boy was embarrassed, and confessed that he had observed nothing. His only concern had been not to spill the oil that the wise man had entrusted to him.
Then go back and observe the marvels of my world, said the wise man . You cannot trust a man if you don’t know his house.
Relieved the boy picked up the spoon and return to his exploration of the palace , this time observing all of the works of art on ceiling and the walls. he saw the gardens , the mountains all around him, the beauty of the flowers, and the taste with which everything had been selected. Upon returning to the wise man, he related in detail everything he had seen.
But where are the drops of oil I entrusted to you? asked the wise man.
Looking down at the spoon he held, the boy saw that the oil was gone.
Well there is only one piece of advise I can give you ,said the wisest of wise men. The secret of happiness is to see all the marvels of the world and never forget about the drops of oil on the spoon.

I think this story wants to tell us when we want to do something we must not focus on just that work. But we must pay attention to the events that happen around us. And I think when by this work we could do our work it can be an art in life. It says we must not do just one thing but we must be active see environment around us and think about them. Of course it help us to do our wanted thing. If we do all of them we can be happy in life and god will be happy too. This is the fact of our life(god satisfication)

if we take the life easy,we'll miss the time and life.if we take it difficult we'll miss the beauties and wonders of life and in fact we havn't lived.we must be normal in our life style.we must try and enjoy equally.

I think happiness must be inside us. it is true that we must enjoy life but I think that saving the valuable things that God gave us is more important even if we have to suffer for them. And knowing that god is happy from us is the best thing that brings us happiness.
