Recipe for happiness

In my former work I met a lot of assholes as usual but once back in Brazil we received a visit of a wise man. A German person who had been living in USA for more than 30 years.
Easygoing, relaxed and wealthy his favorite hobby was sailing.
He had a boat which he usually took with his wife and just traveled around the world, only the two of them.
U know that thing: It is a weekend, let's take the boat and go down to Bahamas!...
In the same way we just take a car and go to a shopping mall...

In one of our encounters and surrounded by other colleagues from work, someone just asked him what was his recipe for happiness. To which he answered straight away:

"You need only five things to be happy:

First: you must have a belief. Whatever god you want, you must believe there is something else out there to give you some purpose on your life and make you a better human being;

Second: you need to have someone to love and be loved back

Third: you have to get a job, which you enjoy and provides for all your needs;

Forth: you need to have a hobby... everybody needs some distraction;

Fifth: you need to have a social work, to give something back to the society you live in...and gave you so much"

Maybe the classification is not exactly that, but since them that's also my recipe for happiness and I am happy to have met such a person.
Our lives took different paths but I will never forget those words.

Be happy, at the end it is all that matters!
