100 SECRETS OF HAPPINESS
In aid of WOCKHARDT FOUNDATION
By Huzaifa Khorakiwala
Dear Friend,
Greetings!
Happiness is an art. Happiness is a skill. Happiness is an experience, afeeling. To attain it, one needs to unravel its secrets and understandits cause. Since happiness is God’s greatest gift, the seeking of it andits attainment must occupy a prime position in the life of every humanbeing. The ancient books, the philosophers, the modern scholars, andother men of knowledge and wisdom have given us various guidelineson how to walk the road of happiness. The Fatemi philosophy inparticular has been a special source of inspiration for me.
I present to you my booklet titled ‘100 Secrets of Happiness’– things Ihave learnt and applied in my life. Things which are the cause of theimmense peace and happiness I am experiencing. This booklet is areflection of my personal beliefs regarding the keys to happiness. It isthese thoughts that are a part of my belief system.
Happy reading! Happy learning!
May happiness be in your every breath.
With best wishes and warm regards,
Huzaifa Khorakiwala.
