100 SECRETS

OF HAPPINESS
By Huzaifa Khorakiwala

In aid of WOCKHARDT FOUNDATION


Dear Friend,

Greetings!

Happiness is an art. Happiness is a skill. Happiness is an experience, a


feeling. To attain it, one needs to unravel its secrets and understand
its cause. Since happiness is God’s greatest gift, the seeking of it and
its attainment must occupy a prime position in the life of every human
being. The ancient books, the philosophers, the modern scholars, and
other men of knowledge and wisdom have given us various guidelines
on how to walk the road of happiness. The Fatemi philosophy in
particular has been a special source of inspiration for me.

I present to you my booklet titled ‘100 Secrets of Happiness’– things I


have learnt and applied in my life. Things which are the cause of the
immense peace and happiness I am experiencing. This booklet is a
reflection of my personal beliefs regarding the keys to happiness. It is
these thoughts that are a part of my belief system.

Happy reading! Happy learning!

May happiness be in your every breath.

With best wishes and warm regards,

Huzaifa Khorakiwala.
