    Default March 20 is the International Day of Happiness

    People are now recognizing that 'progress' should be about increasing human happiness and well-being, not just growing the economy at all costs. That's why all 193 United Nations member states have adopted a resolution calling for happiness to be given greater priority and March 20 has been declared as the International Day of Happiness - a day to inspire action for a happier world


    Everyone is being encouraged to ACT
    We want the Day of Happiness to be a global celebration of acts of generosity, kindness, enthusiasm and connection - focused on bringing happiness to others. So we're encouraging everyone to ACT, by which we mean:

    • A: Affirm the pledge - make a personal pledge to try to create more happiness in the world
    • C: Cheer Happy Heroes - celebrate the people who bring happiness to you and others
    • T: Take part - do something to mark the day and spread some happiness

    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I've made customers laugh this morning. I'm doing my bit!

    I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

    I believe it is also the first official day of Spring. Coincidence?
