Are you happy?

There was a guy who was always happy, at least, thats what he was showing outside, always carrying a smiling face. He used to say, "Happiness is not the absence of problems; but the ability to deal with them". When people used to ask him the reason of the same, he used to say, even though I am sad, I donot want to make others sad by being sad before them. So spread happiness even though you are not. Somtimes, a small smile does that. It is infectious. A smile is the universal welcome.
Once he was caught in a big gathering, where he was interviewed on his happiness:

Are you happy?
Yes, I am.
How can you be so sure?
Because I have got too much to live for...

And the last line told everything of his happiness; there were no more questions and there was only huge applause around...
