How to be happy

I finished my Tuesday at around 6.00pm in a bad way; just as usual you know. As usual frustration of not being able to finish the given work. Feeling bad about not being able to locate the bug and fix it; and all the bullshit every software engineer keeps whining about. Also cursing my luck of how bad things generally go for me and all...

Anyways, I had to drop my friend to his place. So i went with him. I dropped him at his destination and then he crossed the road to go to the other side. I suddenly remembered something and tried to call him.....and while calling streached my arm....and unfortunately i hit a passerby...... I guess he got hit a bit hard and he fell down....

I felt pretty bad....and immediately helped him get up...feeling really bad....i apologised to him...In turn he smiled back and said "THANK YOU".........

I was surprised and couldnt think of a thing to say for few seconds...and then i asked him. "Did you just say Thank you? As against shouting or getting angry at me?"

He just smiled back...and said..."If i would have not fallen down; may be I wouldnt have looked at the sky which is having beautiful colors right now and it gives me immense pleasure and happiness to look at it right now. I guess this made my evening better. I guess I am going to have a great evening. Wish you the same young man". Without saying any more words he walked off.

I was spell bound for couple of minutes. Couldnt think of a thing to say. Just looked at the sky and thought the sky is looking really beautiful.

After he went I thought for a moment or two and said to myself. Come on this guy is really great. I met him for hardly a moment and I had created a bit of trouble for him and still he could find a good positive thing out of that. Wow!!! Could there be any other great way to remain happy???

I guess this stranger is going to be my inspiration to remain happy. Always be happy
