Character of the Day: Happy Feet 2

Just watched Happy Feet 2 and the little penguins are sooo cute, especially Mumble's son Erik.  Here are a few of my favourite quotes from the movie, which I think is just the right attitude that we need to have to overcome the many challenges that we may encounter over time.

Character of the Day: Pigs

2 Cute Cuddling Pigs

Do you know what do pigs symbolize / represent?


The pig is a symbol meaning honor and generosity. Pigs symbolize happiness and are notably intelligent. 


In Chinese astrology, those born under the sign of the pig love to be needed and feel best when everyone around them is smiling. They see only the best in others and may be exclusive in their friendships. They are nice to a fault and have impeccable manners and taste. Pigs care a great deal about family and friends.

In Germany, pigs are known as a symbol for good luck.


Pig related idioms - "As happy as a pig in mud" is used to signify someone is very happy.

Happy Encounters: Smiling security lady

There is this ever smiling security lady that I came across today and she reminded me of my earlier resolution, which is to make at least 1 person happy every day, and she's definitely done that.  It is such a good feeling to be so warmly welcomed to a place, particularly from this lady, as when I saw her, it's already late in the evening, she's been standing outdoors in the cold and rain for a while, and she would still happily welcome all the guests to the restaurant.  Most people would have just kept a straight face.  Her genuine greetings has definitely made my day a better day and it feels so good to encounter someone like that in this buzzling city :)

Quote of the Day: Cheerful flower

Quote of the Day: Cheerfulness is the very flower of health. - Proverb

This is true!  Staying cheerful and happy boosts your immune system :)

Quote of the Day: Happy town

From sendscraps.com

Quote of the Day: Try to make at least one person happy every day, and then in ten years you may have made three thousand, six hundred and fifty persons happy, or brightened a small town by your contribution to the fund of general enjoyment. - Sydney Smith

I think this is a great thing to do and should set it as part of your new year's resolution!  It can be something really basic such as saying good morning to people around you, starting from your family, neighbours, schoolmates, colleagues.  Being greeted with a good morning and big smile definitely sets my day off on the right note :) 

I think this is a particular good and useful thing to do when you are going through a rough / down time.  To make someone happy, you would first have to adjust your mindset to think positively, and this would help steer your thoughts away from negativity.  Our minds are closely connected with our emotions.  When we are feeling down, all the bad things would seem to happen at the same time, but that is because we would tend to just notice things that connected to our state of mind.  This negativity would just continue to grow and spiral downwards.  By tasking yourself to make at least one person happy every day, it would help to shift your focus from the negative thoughts and make your day just a little brighter and happier.

Quote of the Day: Happy with imperfections

Quote of the Day: Being happy doesn't mean you're perfect. It just means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections. - K.B Indiana (age 14)

Wow.. Can't believe this came from a 14 year old.  No one is perfect and I do think it's so important to accept your imperfections and be proud of who you are to live a happy life.  I'm not saying you should not strive to become a better person, but you should definitely start off from a positive ground ;)
