Mr. Diana is a fun bell-boy working in Villa Seminyak in Bali. His extraordinary positive energy caught our attention. He came to fetch us with the buggy for breakfast. With a smile from the heart he greeted us sharing remarks on how beautiful the day is and greeted with joy every person on the way.
I asked Mr. Diana the permission to take his video so he can share his happy philosophy with the world. He was a little nervous.
The secrets of his happiness:
1. Karma: "We Hindus, believe in reincarnation. What we do in this life affect the next life. If I am not happy I can be born to the next life without an arm or an eye"
2. Role Modelling: "I have to be happy so my son will be happy. This is a gift that we pass from generation to the next".
3. Village Vs. City : "In the village we are happier than the people living in the city. The people in the city need much more than we do."
4. Community Bonding: "We share the little that we have and enjoy it. My mother can borrow form neighbour a few kg of rice or anything she is short of. She can return it any time."
Diana is proud to share the images of his wedding on his mobile phone: "See, everyone in the village is helping to arrange my wedding. We help each other, we care for each other. We have strong friendship values. We celebrate and grief together. Strong and positive community life is a big part of our happiness. "
