To achieve excellence in the corporate world and still be happy

The Indian tradition shows us that positive, radiant happiness is our birthright. The Happiness quotient (HQ) is a concept that measures approximately, the measure of happiness each person has achieved in his life. The HQ starts by the creation of a positive mindspace, one that nurtures the positive emotions that increase happiness. It is also required to understand the impact of negative fields and how to avoid them.

Events are not under our control, but our perceptions and reactions to them are. Life’s greatest prize – Happiness. Here are some Happiness Mantras:
