HAPPY HAPPINESS HAPPIEST HAPPIER
Matija Bećković, pisac i pesnik / writer and poet SREĆAN JE ONAJ KO O SREĆI NE MISLI
Ljude na našem podneblju vi- še interesuje tuga nego sre- ća. Sreća je čak često izložena podsmehu i, naravno, zavisti. Zato je teško nositi sreću. Postoje periodi u životu ka- da sve izgleda crno, jadno i bedno. Traju dugo, ali prođu. Postoje i trenuci kada pomisliš i dugo veruješ da je to taj zrak svetlosti koji te je obasjao i vi- še ti niko nikada neće skinuti osmeh. Ali i to prođe... ness is when you find a grain of a pearl in a bre- ad roll. Happiness is when you discover America whi- le travelling to India. Ha- ppy is he who has better things to do than think about happiness. Happy and unhappy are one and the same man. I was ha- ppiest just a moment ago when I woke up. Sreća je kad vam padne saksija na glavu i izazo- ve genijalnu ideju. Sreća je kad u kifli nađete zrno bi- sera. Sreća je kad otkrijete Ameriku putujući za Indiju. Srećan je onaj koji ima pa- metnijeg posla, pa o sreći ne misli. Srećan i nesrećan je jedan isti čovek. Naj- srećniji sam bio malopre, kad sam se probudio. Happiness is when a flowerpot falls on your he- ad and causes you to think of a brilliant idea. Happi-

People in our region are mo- re interested in sadness than hap- piness. Happiness is even very com- monly exposed to ridicule and envy. That’s why it’s tough to handle hap- piness. There are times in life when everything appears black, weak and miserable. They last for a long time, but they pass. There are also mo- ments when you believe for a long time that you have found that ray of light that has lit you up and that no- body will ever again strip you of yo- ur smile. But that also passes... I try to spend every moment in the best way, to set aside some time for everyone, because it is the little thin- gs that make life and if you know how to enjoy in them, then you’ve achieved one of your dreams. I’m often given the opportunity to socialise with children and when I see the smiles on their fa- ces because I’ve gifted them something small, a signed ping-pong ball, then I re- alise how little is required in order for someone to be happy. Happiness and joy are in making other people happy. Our little is a lot to someone.
provedem na najbolji način. Da za svakog izdvojim neko vreme jer sitnice čine život i, ako u nji- ma znate da uživate, tada ste ostvarili neki svoj san. Često mi se pruža prilika da se družim s decom i, kada im vidim osme- he jer sam im poklonila sitnicu, potpisanu lopticu, tada shva- tam koliko je malo potrebno da bi neko bio srećan. Sreća i ra- dost je usrećiti druge ljude. Na- še malo je nekome mnogo.
