Be nice, do favours!

I began learning long ago that those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.

Booker T. Washington

The point is that happy people don’t do favours in order to get payed back.

They do favours because they are already happy with their lives and now want to improve the lives of others. They don’t care about looking better by doing it, they do it because they like others to be happy.
