There are selfless philanthropists who have made India what it is today. But, unfortunately, these people are not given the exposure that they ought to get. Social learning happens only through observation, retention and reproduction of the good values.

The pursuit of happiness and meaning are two of our most central motivations in life. Happiness and meaning are strongly co-related to one another. The more meaning we find in life, the more happy we typically feel, and the more happy we feel, the more we feel encouraged to pursue even greater meaning and purpose. Happiness is a byproduct of knowing one’s purpose and applying it in a tangible way providing meaning to one’s life. Happiness is related to one’s needs.
