Answer 3

i think it means the best life anyone could possibly have is a happy life. doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, if you're happy your life will be great

Answer 4

Basically it's saying if you're stable and happy with what you have, then you've reached the ultimate happiness in your life. For ex. If you have a small house, but it's good enough for you, but you still want a bigger house, you're not happy with what yiou have. If you realize that, "omg! this house is so great for me even though its smaller!", than you'll feel happy and feel great that you have such a good house and you'll be happy. If you always live in a way where you always WANT something, you won't be happy and you'll feel incomplete. It's human nature to always want something better and its very rare for a human being to be absolutly happy with what they have. That's why its the "Art of life" to always think pleasent thoughts (be happy with what you have) and try to keep having these thoughts to say happy. =)..hope tht all made sense. good lucckk.. =D

Answer 5

It means pleasant thoughts is all you need to keep pleasant.  I think that's what it mean.  I'm not exactly sure, I'm just guessing.
