T found ia bit dificult to get down to work in my second year and then I fll out with my bestfriend. Thats when I realised the importance of my family and fiends, The strange thing is that I get on with my parents much better now that I'm no living eth them, nd they were very supportive when T was going through a dificult time. I suppose happiness is about feeling good about yourself and having some sort of focus in lfe. OF eourse, its also about human relationships. You need to have people in your life that mean alot to you: they could be your family. a girtiend or very good friends, Happiness for me is when you've jus cone something well, like a projector something, or after having played a really good ‘basketball match, and then you go out with your mates anc! you're able © laugh about bie, 5 Philip, chief engineer, 62 What makes me happy?
