CONCLUSION
What is the happiness from the data you’ve gathered from different respondents.
Based on the data we have gathered from different respondents; happiness is
the state or a feeling of contentment and satisfaction. It can be found in many different
ways such as simply being able to provide for your family’s needs, achieving the things
you have set for yourself and being around people with the same mindset as you.
Some of them says that happiness is a choice and I couldn’t agree more because
indeed it is only us who can control our emotions. Additionally, another way of
achieving absolute happiness is being able to achieve our goals in life. With that, we
should set our heart and mind to achieve those goals by working hard and making
sure to surround ourselves with people who are genuinely rooting for our success and
happiness.
