"Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values."
Why do I feel happy today? The story goes something like this. I pray at this mosque which is close to my house. A few days ago, the one of the taps, from which we use water to perform wudu, started leaking, so I informed the muazzin about the issue. Unfortunately, it wasn't fixed and the water kept leaking. So today, after a week of seeing the tap leak, I took matters into my own hands and tapped the leaking portion of the piping.
Now this is not to show that I'm the "Mr. Selfless and Helpful" but to say that the matter was fixed. It only took me 2 minutes to stop the leakage and it cost nothing. So I was thinking, how many problems do we have in Pakistan which could be fixed in the same way. If we all start doing our part, we could save water, electricity and even clean up our roads.
