The history of happiness didn't begin just a few years ago. It is often estimated that happiness began several thousand years ago because of the earliest writings that have been handed down through history. As early as 5,000 BC there are sacred texts known as the Vedas that was written by great sages and explains the way to find true happiness in life. The Vedas have been the source of the Hindu religion for thousands of years and were even studied by Buddha. Happiness has come along with the existence of life itself.

When I provide speech coaching for executives or when I direct Presentation Skills seminars for corporations, one of the first points I make is this: Trying to be perfect will ruin your presentation. To illustrate: When you hear a speaker who is oh-so-precise with enunciation, so programmed with canned gestures and so fluent without a single blunder, you might react negatively. You sense that you are observing an actor, not a real person.

It's very easy to take our perceptions as reality. We feel hot, we say it is hot. The problem is that perceptions are a matter of perspective and information. Suppose someone who's usually cheerful at work comes in and is much more curt than usual while greeting you. The instinctive response is to wonder if they're mad at you for some reason. But perhaps they simply have a headache, or a sore throat, or have been dealing with crises ever since waking up.
