[Diary 101] When do you feel most proud of yourself?

I feel most proud of myself when I do or say anything for someone and they feel happy.

Several months ago, I seriousry thought about what is my most happiness.
When I was in twenties, I could feel happy even I was alone, even when I did anything, such as going for a drive, go shopping, having a meal outside.

However, after I became thirties, I don't feel full happiness when I do anything alone.
One day, I realized that I'm glad to help someone.
When someone is in trouble, I'd like to help them.
If someone becomes happy by my action, I also feel happy.

So happiness of someone around me is also my happiness.

In Japanese

私は、誰かのために何かをして、それがその人を幸せにしたとき、自分に一番誇りを感じます。

数ヶ月前、私にとって何が一番の幸せなのかを真剣に考えました。
20代の頃は、一人でもドライブに行ったり、買い物をしたり、外で食事をしたりと、何をしても幸せを感じることができました。

しかし、30代になってからは、一人で何かをしても満足感が得られなくなりました。
ある日、誰かを助けることが自分にとって本当に幸せだと気付きました。
誰かが困っているとき、私はその人を助けたいと思います。
もし私の行動で誰かが幸せになれば、私も幸せを感じます。

だから、私の周りの人の幸せが、私の幸せでもあるのです。
