/^t/Human being can also realize himself by the means of his own work. He believes that his work furnishes his life with the meaning. His work is the object of his faith for work is his motivation to self-fulfilment. However, this road for self-realization may only be attained if you love your work. You believe your work is meaningful because you love your work, again love and faith transcendent each other. Self-fulfilment may also be attained in the path of chastity and sacrifice, as long as you believe that by abandoning your own needs and desires you fulfil yourself. Whatever you do in your life, if you believe that it has the meaning, you certainly contribute to your own self-fulfilment./^t/Happiness is the utmost yearning of a human soul. Yet, it is the utmost unknown. We can not possibly define happiness, we can only trace its signs or interpret its symbols. We believe that we are capable to attain happiness, as if happiness was to be attained. We believe that happiness will suddenly emerge and materialise, as if happiness was a property to be possessed. We believe that one day we would apprehend what happiness is and with the triumphal "eureka" we would cling to it forever. Our life is cherished with hope that our pursuit for happiness would not be futile. Happiness may seem to have different faces, depending on what we believe to be valuable in our life. For some people it may be love, for others it may be money or success, or both. Whether it is a materialistic, tangible wealth, a growing career or a good family, again depends on our faith in various values. Happiness may also be reflected in our faith in God. We are happy because we believe that God knows the meaning and enigma of our existence.
