<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>KISS</b> principle is one of may favorite principles. <b>KISS</b> is an <a class="zem_slink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acronym_and_initialism" rel="wikipedia" title="Acronym and initialism">acronym</a> for the principle <b>Keep it simple, Stupid!</b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>KISS</b> Principle:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The KISS principle states that most systems work best if they are kept simple rather than made complex, therefore simplicity should be a key goal and unnecessary complexity should be avoided.<b> </b></div>
<b><br /></b><br />
There are also other variations of this acronym: "<i>keep it short and simple</i>", "<i>keep it simple or be
stupid</i>" or "<i>keep it simple and
sincere</i>." But the point is same.<br />
<br />
Acronym was created by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelly_Johnson_%28engineer%29" title="Kelly Johnson (engineer)">Kelly Johnson</a> who was an aircraft engineer.<br />
<br />
This principle most likely finds its origins in words of this great minds: <br />

It is time for second post on this new <a href="http://4ever-happy.blogspot.com/">blog about happiness</a>. I will start with some easy topic. Just to warm up for future articles. This time <span class="short_text" id="result_box" lang="en"><span class="hps">I'll talk</span> <span class="hps">to you about the <b>Golden rule</b>.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Golden rule in life: </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What you do not wish to yourself, do not do to others. </blockquote>
<br />
This is first thing you need to have in your mind, whatever you do in life. Your freedom is on the edge of freedom of the others.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">But, why is this important for happiness?</span><br />
<br />
The answer is easy. What you give you will get. And don't think that it is some stupid phrase, believe me, it is obviously true.<br />
<br />
In life, everything that you share it is smaller. If you share apple it
is smaller, if you share pear it is smaller, only if you share happiness
it is bigger.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<br />
We are all one. When one is harmed, all are harmed. When one is helped, all are healed<br />
~ unknown</blockquote>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Golden rule have various variations and some of them you can find in this very beautiful video by the <a href="http://www.humanityhealing.org/">Humanity Healing Network.</a> I recommend you to take look on this 8 minutes video is worth your time.<br />
<br />

<blockquote>
"Every religion emphasizes human improvement, love, respect for others, sharing other people's suffering. On these lines every religion had more or less the same viewpoint and the same goal."<br />
~ His Holiness the Dalai Lama</blockquote>

<br />
<br />
So today, follow Golden rule and share your happiness with others. Sooner or lather it will return to you at last in same amount, but often it is doubled in returning.<br />
