Reader's Digest, January 2009

In this issue, I found the following two articles quite helpful.

1. "In Pursuit of Happiness"

  It says that happiness is something that can be learnt, much like healthy eating habits.

  What a blissful message it is!

  Some ways to get happy are also suggested in this article, for example,

  practice random act of kindness, or set aside time to do something new.

  In my friend's June's blog, she shared 15 habits of happiness, ideas from an article in CommonWealth Magazine issue 414. They are also feasible ways to achieve

happiness of life.

 2. "The Power of One"

   The 2004 tsunami changed Jet Li forever. Now he wants to change the world.

   Jet Li and his daughters were caught up in the real-life horror of the devastating

 tsunami that hit on 26 December, 2000. After the incident, he came to realize

 that however powerful or famous he was, it could not help him in the nick of life

 and death. Through this realization, he decided to do something to make the

world a better place. He founded the Red Cross Jet Li One Foundation to support

international disaster relief efforts. He believes that think big by thinking small. If

everyone gives one yuan every month, it will add up to billions. This time, Jet Li

aims to make a real difference in the world.
