pects to get the lessings of triple gems
for the new officials, memers and for
the upcoming projects of the Leo Clu of

had an unexpected death due to accident
and who was the initiator of this event
few years ago.

were educated aout the history, ojectives and
dispersion of Leo clus all over the world.
They were further informed aout what was
done in the past Leostic year and also the aout
the awards won y UOM Leos at the district con-
ference for those projects. They came to knowthat Leo clu does not only provide social services
for the etterment of the society, ut also lots of
enefits for them as well to improve themselves.
They could get a etter and clearer idea on
the role that they can play in the clu on this day.
Games and a few fun activities were also there at
the orientation programme to improve the leader-
ship skills, group work ailities.
It also rought an invaluale opportunity to
develop the connection etween the Leos and the

Imagine that your wholeheart, mind and soul are at peace
at the same time. You have a
smile on your face efore you
know it, you want to fly all over
the lue sky like you will never
fall down and suddenly you are
not afraid of anything. Yes, that
is the feeling of happiness- the
sole reason for every reath we
are taking.
Happiness is what gives us
the motive to dream, to hope
and most importantly to have
faith. It is when you feel happy in
your whole heart that you know
yes, I am living my life.
Although everyody aims
at eing happy, not everyone
succeeds. This leads people to
question so many things they
elieve in. you would start won-dering what did I do wrong, why
this is happening to me, why me
of all the people deserve to e
unhappy.
When the world seems all
ad and nothing is working for
you, first of all think why, why
this is happening to me, why
I cannot smile with my whole
heart.
Then it will struck you, itis the choice you made. In other
words what you choose to e
happy with. If your choice is
wrong, you will not e ale to ehappy.
So next question comes,
what do I have to choose or on
what asis do I choose. All these
complex situations, huge pres-
sure, now you are starting to feel
worry. Is happiness to e otained
at such a cost?
The answer is simple, no.
In order to make the choices to
e happy all you have to do is tomake the choice of eing happy.
Yes, choose to e happy. No mat-
ter what mistake you made or
what circumstances you may face,
still choose to e happy.
If you made a mistake, e
happy ecause now you will never
make that mistake again. If what
is happening around you all goes
wrong, e happy, for you are still
alive, that means yes you have
a second chance to make things
right again.
Keep an open heart so that
you will not miss the happiness
hidden in small things. Happiness
is there in the morning sun rise
which gives hope for a new day.
It is there when your parents are
smiling ecause of you. Happiness
will come to you when you helpsomeone without expecting any-
thing ack. Simply, happiness is
there where you keep your pure
heart and soul.Always listen to your heart as it
says what you truly want. If you
ever going to do what others want
you to do, then you have chosen
them to e happy not you to e
happy. Surprise yourself y doing
what you truly want to do not
ecause someone else wanted
you to do it ut ecause you want-
ed doing it with all your heart.
As it says, Life is not measured ythe reaths you took ut y the
moments that took your reath
away. So always keep an eye for
the adventures in life. And always
rememer that happiness is y
choice not y chance. So make
the choice to e happy no matter
what happens.
