                    UNSELFISH AND HAPPY
   A fascinating study on the principle of the Golden Rule was conducted by Bernard Rimland, director of the Institute for Child Behavior Research.  Rimland found that "The happiest people are those who help others." 
   Each person involved in the study was asked to list ten

   There is a fairy tale story about a rich merchant, loaded with riches but unhappy.  He asked around, "How can I find happiness?"  A wise man tells him, "Look for a happy man, and ask him to sell you his shirt."
   The merchant searched for a long time until at last he found a
