Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the
speaker stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving
each one a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon
which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was
frantically searching for their name, colliding with each other, pushing
around others and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the
person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their
own balloon.
The speaker began— "exactly this is happening in our
lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not
knowing where it is.Our happiness lies in the happiness of other
people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And
this is the purpose of human life...the pursuit of happiness!!"
