 stitute of Business Administration\, Dhaka University. He is a keen learne
 r of life and he has stayed a student of personal growth and development t
 hrough continued education\, trial and error\, diligent observation and di
 sciplined practice.\n\n\nRiyadh’s mission is to help youth define their 
 own happiness & success for living a life with purpose. With this\, he dre
 ams of making positive changes in the world by helping people create more 
 love\, compassion\, gratitude\, and fulfillment in their lives which will 
 eventually contribute to a happier & a more peaceful world. In his mission
  to continually impact the lives of millions\, he has taken life-changing 
 session in 40 academic institutions of different countries so far.\n\nIt
 ’s not taught in the school and yes\, unlike grades\, Happiness can’t 
 be pursued\; if we can’t master the ability to be happy where we are rig
 ht now\, we can’t ever be happy reaching where we want to be. Maybe\, wh
 at we want to have is very tiny compared to what we already have. When we 
 are recalling some past good experiences\, or would be good experiences in
  the future\, understand that we are not living well right now. Very often
  we mix up happiness with pleasure\, which is so momentary.\n\nWe don’t 
 have control on the stimulus and most of the situations\, but none can tak
 e the ability for us to choose whatever response we like or how we will in
 terpret the situation. Everything can be taken away from us except the fre
 edom to choose. If we want to self-talk in any situation\, we can look at 
 it from so many different perspectives\; then why do we talk from the only
  perspective that makes us sad? Just being alive beats all the reasons in 
 being happy\, doesn’t it? Is it that only we are alive? Or we have much 
 more things to be happy. How many things are happening right in our lives?
  But\, we used to the goods and focus on the imperfections. For taking con
 trol of our lives\, asking right question & having the right understanding
  is very important. Living a life with full of gratitude and mastering the
  habit of appreciating before we lose what we already have\, implies the g
 ame of life. Health & relationship are the center point for taking any dec
 ision about life. Good relationship keeps us happy & healthy\; happiness i
 s closely connected to health- this\, we will understand when we will part
 ially damage our health running after career. If we understand this today\
 , then we will maintain our health.\n\nAll the problems in the world mostl
 y because of the wars inside the mind. We focus more on materialistic valu
 e/possession and less on mind/inner values\; all basis of pain/pleasure in
  mental level. If we start focusing more on the mind\, many of our created
  problems will be solved. Everyone wants to be happy. But\, if we have jea
 lousy\, hatred\, obsessive desires and if we wish bad for others\, if we h
 arm/cheat/exploit others\, how we can be happy? We are surely not looking 
 at the world the way we want it to look at us. What I do\, it has an impac
 t on others\; what society does\, it has an impact on children's thinking.
  What one does\, it affects all and what all does\, it leaves an effect on
  one. This is the sense of oneness\, that the world needs the most now.\n\
 nHappiness has a ripple effect. It’s high time we should have developed 
 a sense of global responsibility. A simple act of caring\, spirit of forgi
 veness\, feeling of compassion or act of gratitude can create endless ripp
 les all around us and the world needs many happy people. Let’s love the 
 people and use the things because the opposite doesn’t work.
