‘From an early age, I was determined to be happy whatever fate had in store for me. Misfortune is often something you bring on yourself.’ ‘I think happiness and harmony are inextricably linked. A harmonious professional and personal life can be described as a state of happiness. Of course you don’t always have control over this but a bit of understanding and empathy can make all the difference.’ ‘Treat others how you wish to be treated, said the philosopher Kant. It forms the basis for living together in harmony.’
