The thing that make me happy, which is relative to me but could help other people, is to be who I am no matter what. Without fronts of personality in-front of anyone then you get a sense of being something true. If you lie, then you struggle for something that you are not. Struggle leads to stress, stress leads to your unhappiness.

Also being friendly to other people because its always nice and enjoyable to talk to a new mind. Plus being helpful to a point were your not overwhelmed makes you feel nice.
