Day 13 - Three secrets to happiness

I was very surprised to learn that there are only 350 cases of Progeria in the world today. Progeria is an extremely rare disease which causes rapid aging and also various other side effects. Sam Berns, a seventeen year old boy is one such Progeria case and he gave his Ted Talk on the subject of 3 secrets to happiness according to him.

In spite of the condition, when some one actually provides a mantra for happiness, it definitely has to be worth reading (and watching)

Sam's Philosophy of Happy Life :
1. Be OK with what you ultimately can't do, because there is so much you CAN do.
2. Surround yourself with people you want to be around.
3. Keep moving forward.


Very simple but so very deep. Someone, who is leading a life which is not healthy and has so much
positivity reminds us yet again how fickle we are in spite of being blessed with good health.
You must see this video and hear him speak.

Isn't that amazing, how he sees life given his condition. Unfortunately, 3 months after this Ted Talk, Sam passed away. That's the way to lead life, fulfilling right till the end!
