Being
human
some
part
of
us
is
hardwired
via
our
DNA
while
others
part
is
leG
to
us
to
shape.
The
hardwiring
in
us
are
not
always
good
but
is
essen:al
when
it
comes
to
survival
but
as
soon
as
survive
and
exist
-­‐
we
are
full
of
desires
and
expecta:ons
and
they
run
our
lives.
One
of
the
overarching
desire
is
to
be
successful
(seeking
happiness)
and
happy
(seeking
success)
-­‐
success
not
just
in
monetary
terms
but
in
general
as
desired
result.
Our
happiness
depends
on
our
success
(achieving
desired
results
like
security,
respect
and
other
materialis:c
ameni:es
while
being
consistent
with
ourselves)
and
our
success
dependents
on
our
happiness
(ability
to
engage
in
something
wholeheartedly
and
consciously)
but
key
lies
in
crea:ng
our
defini:on
of
success
and
not
taking
a
readymade
or
socially
defined
one.

6.
Reason
for
doing
our
own
defini:on
is
-­‐
1.
Ability
to
give
100%
to
one's
own
defini:on
due
to
internal
belief
system
backing
it
and
ability
to
do
it
happily.
2.
Taking
up
readymade
defini:on
would
always
seem
to
be
task
which
you
are
undertaking,
at
end
of
which
you
would
get
result
leading
to
happiness.
But
would
be
temporary
happiness
as
we
never
enjoyed
the
journey
to
result
and
would
never
be
fulfilling.
Assuming
happiness
and
success
are
flip
side
of
same
coin,
we
would
address
to
both
as
happiness
only
going
forward.

7.
Happiness
is
what
we
all
seek
even
when
we
are
sad,
we
are
seeking
happiness
(by
missing
it).
Happiness
can
be
categories
using
Maslow
hierarchy
fairly
well:
Ø Starts
with
basic
needs
hardcoded
in
our
DNA
-­‐
Food,
Drink,
sleep
Ø Once
basic
needs
are
meet,
we
move
up
to
safety
-­‐
self,
family,
health,
belongings.
Ø Once
we
feel
secure
we
move
on
to
Love
and
belonging
Ø Once
that
is
sa:sfied
we
want
to
recognised
in
social
circle
we
belong
at
least
-­‐
respect
/
esteem
from
fellow
beings
with
live
and
work
with.
Ø Finally
once
all
of
above
are
meet
-­‐
we
reach
a
self
actualized
/
true
happiness
landscape
where
we
give
due
importance
to
morality,
crea:vity
and
self
existence!
So
happiness
could
be
summarized
to:
Ø Security
-­‐
Financial
and
Social
Ø Well-­‐being
-­‐
Physical,
Spiritual,
Psychological
and
Rela:onships
Ø Respect
-­‐
Professional
and
righteous
behaviour
We
would
assume,
to
be
happy
-­‐
one
would
be
well
placed
in
each
of
quadrant
above.
Since
we
individual
(unique),
you
balance
would
require
a
unique
but
it
starts
with
knowing
oneself
honestly
at
point
blank
-­‐
easier
said
then
since
we
know
our
mind
has
a
mind
of
its
own
which
can
create
stories
to
convenience
us
of
things.

Science behind
The two brain theory: Frontal lobe and limbic
The
frontal
lobe,
involved
in
conscious
thought
and
higher
mental
func5ons
such
as
decision-­‐making,
plays
an
important
part
in
processing
short-­‐term
memories
and
retaining
longer
term
memories
which
are
not
task-­‐based.

The

system
supports
a
variety
of
func5ons,
including
emo5on,
behaviour,
mo5va5on,
long-­‐term
memory,
and
olfac5on.
It
appears
to

Science behind
Humans
are
more
than
just
conscious—they
are
also
self-­‐aware.
www.laywi.com
Difference:
Consciousness
is
awareness
of
one’s
body
and
one’s
environment;
Self-­‐awareness
is
recogni:on
of
that
consciousness—not
only
understanding
that
one
exists,
but
further
understanding
that
one
is
aware
of
one’s
existence.
Another
way
of
thinking
about
it:
To
be
conscious
is
to
think;
to
be
self-­‐aware
is
to
realize
that
you
are
a
thinking
being
and
to
think
about
your
thoughts.
