Sample answer for discussion

1. Success, love and various celebrations including weddings, birth give happiness to people. When hard
brings success, it gives happiness. When we are loved by family, friends and people around, we feel
happy. Important occasions in life like special birthdays, weddings, birth of children in the family make
people happy.
2. For elderly, happy moments are when all their children are around. When they receive love or when their
children are happy and prosperous. Elderly people are the happiest with their grand children.
3. Yes, money does provide us with all basic needs to keep us happy. So rich people are supposed to be
happy. But then man needs love and affection as well. So we cannot say that only by being rich one can be
happy or rich people are always happy.
