This came from my son's school. I just thought I should share it with you. I believe that humility leads us in being happy for others well-being. Dr. Maya Angelou said, "To want others to do the best they can for themselves, when they have done the best they can for you -- this is intelligence" which is also, I believe is humility. If each of us would genuinely care and wish only good things for each other, true happiness will flourish in all of us, from within to each other. And above all, God's grace (however you call HIM) is one proven way to have happiness in our hearts. - litlmisscaffeine
