  • There is a video called "The Harmonica Man," about an old man who gives harmonicas to school children and teaches them to play. He isn't wealthy at all, living by himself in a tiny trailer, and has survived several heart attacks, but he remarked, "I don't think Bill Gates feels any richer than I do at the end of the day." That is happiness--being rich because of what you GIVE, and not because of what you OWN.

  • POP-CORN AND BE HAPPY!!

  • My 9-year-old student asked me: What makes you happy teacher? ...I answered "When something seems extremely difficult to do and yet I manage to do it, I feel happy" "I also feel happy when people show me they care about me, they love me" For a moment I thought I would not be able to give her an answer. So difficult to put it into simple words!

  • cool, look forward for the next video, thanks BenLOOOOKAAA

  • I'm eager for the next video.

  • wow, that is surprising, I feel like more of them would have raised their hands to the question of being willing to live a modest life

  • I love these videos, like really philoophical stuff. Very interesting, thanks BenLoka :D x

  • You never see documetaries about reporters visiting tribe people (offcourse where there has been no famine or genoiside) and see just sad miserable faces. They seem to live live their lives with the little they have of material wealth, taking care of each other. They gather around the bonfire telling stories about ansestors and legends of old. They don't rot in front of a biscreen TV eating cheeseburgers...

  • I find the thought of extreeme wealth a bit scary to... our sivillisation is prett much based upon the need to become "succsessfull" and "becoming rich".. so when you have that much wealth, it must be getting kind of dull and old after a while? But I guess you also have many oppurtunities to do good both for yourself and others.
