Discussion
This is the best article i've read on here so far. Not only do I agree with the premise, but many of these suggestions (I especially like #8) just encourage you to be a happier more outgoing person in general. Personally, I don't think that the lithmus test of a good life is if you get someone to share it with you. That my or may not incidentally be the case, but I think that the best life, again, in my opinion, is the stringing together of as many good days as possible. A lot of these tips show you how to engage with people and infuse each moment with interction and experience. Even a horrible date can turn into a great story that you get to tell for the rest of your life. It's really all how you look at it. And sometimes in the middle of that miserable date you can sit back and chuckle over how fun it will be to recount it later. All of a sudden an excruciating experience has flipped. Yay. Well done.
