number one is laugh. you should laugh every day.
number two is think. you should spend some time in thought.
number three, you should have your emotions moved to tears, could be happiness or joy.
but think about it. if you laugh, think, and you cry, that's a full day.
that's a heck of a day.
you do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special."
