10. The Seed of Perspective 
"Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude."
Perspective is the true understanding of the relative importance of things. This means that people should look at things from a different point of view.

Everyone has different perspective depends how they look at things. We all have different ways of viewing things, they are not the same for everyone.
