speaking club session on the topic of happiness. I'm excited to have each and every one of you here.
Happiness is a fundamental aspect of our lives, and exploring it together can be both insightful and
enjoyable.

Before we dive into our discussion, let's take a moment to go around and briefly introduce ourselves.
Please share your name, and if you're comfortable, tell us about something that brings you joy or a
recent positive experience. This will not only help us get to know each other a bit better but also set a
positive and engaging tone for our session.

I'll start. I'm [Your Name], and one thing that always brings a smile to my face is spending time outdoors,
especially on a sunny day. Now, let's go around the virtual room, and each of you can take a moment to
share. Feel free to keep it light and uplifting. Who would like to go first?"

Today, we're delving into the crucial topic of happiness. Beyond being a fleeting emotion,
happiness holds significant importance in our overall well-being. It's not just about experiencing
joy; it contributes to resilience, strengthens relationships, and enhances the quality of our lives. In
our session, we'll explore what happiness means to each of us and discuss its relevance in our
personal and professional development. Ready to dive into this important conversation? Let's get

Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will
be successful." - Albert Schweitzer
