When i went to Gramedia last week, I read Chicken Soup For the Single’s Soul. And like usual story in Chicken Soup is very touching, and time is passed like a light. Then i found a story about 6 things to do a day, this story is very good. I don’t even know it is against copyright to be told in my blog, but because the tips is very good i will told it again based on my memory.
The tips is actually is simple but useful and some of the tips actually i do it in my life but not in a day but in a week. The tips is:

Although it’s okay if you want to something complex if you have time. The important thing about this tips is you love or like to do this.
2. do something for other
This tips it’s about to help people in need in your day. it’s important to help people in need, not just help people. Because when see other person happy then our feeling became happy too. To help people didn’t need to be spend much money or much time, it can be just carried other luggage, or just take our neighbor to office if it one way to our office, or just say hello to people.
