The bio of the author Jasmin Hajro, get acquainted
Hello dear reader,
how are you ?
Thank you for buying booklet Recipe for Happiness.
My name is Jasmin Hajro, I was born on July 6, 1985 in Bosnia.
As refugees, we came to the Netherlands 21 years ago.
After having completed school & worked at several jobs …
On 17 December 2012, I founded my first company: investment firm Jasko.
After a successful first year, I unfortunately had to close that company.
After a short period of rest, unemployment and temporary work.
I started again as an entrepreneur.
On September 1, 2015, I founded establishment Hajro.
( We say establishment instead of company,
because we do a bit more then just sell stuff.
Like providing jobs,
donating to 40 different charities,
and helping people to live richer. )
Since the beginning the core activity is,
selling sets of greeting cards, door to door.
Nowadays the product range has been expanded.
With, among other things, the selling of my 10 books.
The royalties of my books are donated
to the charity: foundation Giveth Life.
My company is now part of Hajro Group,
which consists of 20 different subsidiaries,
that are part of 1 umbrella organization.
For more information about my company &
the foundation, go to www.hajrobv.nl or
my Poems
I WISH I WAS A BIRD
If only I was a bird, wild and free
Unfortunately, I am a human being, locked up in the Leij
If only I were a bird, I would fly to wherever I wanted
But I am locked up, it is lonely and quiet
If only I were a bird I would never have worried
Then there was no difference between today and tomorrow
If only I were a bird I would not suffer from war and grief
And I was not tempted by alcohol and weed
Freedom is the most important thing there is
I am locked up and that is what I miss the most
MASK
Many of us wear a mask
I wonder why people are afraid
to show themselves
Why is his person concealed?
How can we ever be satisfied with our lives
if we are not satisfied with ourselves
We prefer material things
above knowledge of our true personality
Why are we afraid of what lies in us
how long do we need
to become aware of what we can achieve as unity
We will probably have to fall into the deepest valley
before we are ready to accept ourselves
and accept each other
We fear the unknown
so also ourselves
Ignorance drives us to fear
We want to improve the world
make it a better place
Why do not we improve ourselves
the rest would follow automatically
What do we have to lose
except our prejudices
The power would be lost
what many do not want to accept
so we keep on tinkering
And many of us keep their masks on
not aware of it
that they become one with their mask
and lose themselves
We all want freedom
but the fear stops us
If a disabled person can live without legs
why a healthy one can not do without fear
SUNSHINE
The rain comes out of the air with bins
the anger in my heart starts to pop
I see how the weather changes face
it is as if the whole world is crying at the same time
I am sad to see this
am I so bad that I do not deserve happiness ?
The sun is shining again but not for me
I do not like it, it does not make me happy
When will the black clouds before you disappear
and you will shine again for me ?
I worked in a restaurant
Landal in Doetinchem.
I started as a dishwasher in 2007,
and worked myself up to cook.
I fell in love with Anne van de Riet,
Straw the waitress.
(her last name means straw,
so in my messages I kept on calling her straw)
The following are some jokes
and poems for Straw (Rietje),
my great love…
(when I translate it litterally,
it’s not that funny in English.
I’m sorry for that.
But some things just sound better and are funny in english
and some sound better and are funny in dutch)
Dear Anne ….
You can see the humor in it , can’t you?
Before I really get to the Straw (Rietje) with you ….
Happy Saturday,
Greetings
Jasmin Hajro
I like you
Straw…
What’s in a name?
That what we call a straw,
would with any other name
be just as nice
How about a Cup of tea than ?
Although I have drunk hundreds of them …
It be my very first with a straw.
My father is also so proud of me ..
Dad Hajro: You forget which day it is
But you do not forget to Straw
(to send Anne a message)
Dad Hajro proudly tells everyone he knows,
how far his son has made it …
How far?
To a straw
That is jogging in a winter sweater
while it’s 30 degrees Celsius ,
to pant as if he is being killed,
laughing and doing …
All people are looking ..
What does he have?
(what’s wrong ith him)
A straw
Is it a bird ?
Is it a plane ?
It’s a Straw
You don’t stop, do you ?
Son of a Straw…
Jesus..
That address of yours …
It is like looking for a straw in a haystack.
Father van de Riet, in a threatening tone:
If you do not stop with that
Then I’ll have you shot
Jasmin: Have me shot ??
With what ?
With a straw . ?..
Uuh.I’m shaking like a straw
Straw……shaken, not stirred….
Kind regards, Jasmin Bond
Joe Girard : I like you
I love you
If you need a Straw, you better call me
Greetings,
Jasmin Hajro

Dear Mr &Mrs van de Riet.
We would like to inform you with sincere condolences

In a Chinese restaurant:
… …… Would you like a straw to go with that ………..?
And if Jasmin gets beaten and ends up in the hospital?
Then he’’ll have to eat thru a …………. Straw …..
Jasmin, do you have a sign before your head?
No, a straw
Anne: Why do you send me something in the middle of the night?
Jasmin: I can’t sleep, I can’t sleep normal for the last 5 or 6 years,
not that that comes partly because of you.
You make my heart sing.
___________________________
Good morning straw,
here you can mail your address to:
j.hajro@hotmail.com
Then you will receive The Card
If you just don’t start calling me Mientje
(that would ryme with Rietje (straw))
Judging by your reaction ….
you are as stubborn as I am ….
The stubborn greetings,
Jasmin Hajro

Maybe you think: it’s good that you know something
to say…
after 5 or 6 years
Maybe you think: I’m really going to kill you …
However you do …
I like you ….
When are we going for a jog?
See if you’ll lose against a jogging chain smoker …

So if I want to drink coffee with you ,.
then I have to make things so bad,
that you come to kill me?
And then convince you not to do it
Play?
Did I send you more messages than I would?

How do I say something that you have heard more often probably,
but in a way that you have not heard yet?
‘’If God is an artist,
then you are his most beautiful creation’’
With love,
Jasmin Hajro
Do I have to ask myself with every joke I send ,
whether you’ll come to kill me?
Or do you think they’re a little funny?
Well, you’re certainly not saying anything,
so I’ll have to sleep with one eye open …
______________
As far as the rest is concerned: a joke or 2 per week …
Have fun playing this game, called life
Forgive me as I dream on
And do not forget to smile
May it rain a 1000 joys upon you

Give a 1000 joys

Marriage is

Thank you for reading,
I hope you liked them.
Well as a bonus you will receive a book,
the Recipe for Happiness
read more on the next page
The Recipe for Happiness
A book has been written about a true story …
About a man who was imprisoned in a concentration camp
at the time of Hitler,
and happy.
So,
Happiness has nothing to do with your circumstances.
It has everything to do with,
your choice to be happy,
regardless of circumstances.
Choose to be happy.
Of course there are touhger times in life,
like when someone you love,
dies.
That’s part of life.
Those times of grief you just have to go through and process.
Processing is best done by talking about it,
to get it off your chest regularly.
Or by writing about it,
if you write down a situation or your feelings about it,
then it’s on paper,
and it is less in your head.
Writing is a good outlet.
Processing is also done well by:
staying busy.
Whether that is in your work or your hobby.
They say: a rolling stone does not collect moss.
So stay busy ….
Okay, now you have learned a good lesson about how to
better process negative life experiences.
But you’re here for the Recipe for Happiness, right?
Well, the lesson you’ve learned will help to
make the recipe work better for you.
Here it comes then …
You have probably read a local newspaper,
and you regularly check the news.
(the daily news on television)
Have you noticed that about 99% of it is bad news?
Only misery ..
If you did not know better,
you would think that the whole world is going to perish.
If it’s a habit for you,
to watch the news every day for half an hour …
Have you ever wondered if it’s healthy for you?
Does it make you happy ?
Of course not !
The easiest way to change a habit is
by replacing it with a new habit.
So from today on,
instead of watching the worldly news
half an hour a day ………..
Watch COMEDY for half an hour a day.
Mandatory.
Every day.
Well, now at half past eight in the evening it’s not news time,
but Comedy time.
If you watch comedy,
you relax &
you laugh.
Sounds healthier, doesn’t it?
Well, laughing every day is easy to do, right?
And replacing your old bad habit in this way,
with a nice, healthy new habit,
is probably easier than you thought.
Except that relaxation is good for you,
when you laugh,
your body makes endorphins.
Those are natural happiness substances.
Well, after 21 days of daily watching comedy,
you will have formed a new habit.
So watch Comedy every day.
You can watch a lot of standup comedy on Youtube for free.
Simple?
Sure, but you have to do it,
every day,
until you don’t have to think about it anymore,
and you start doing it automatically.
Some Happiness Ingredients in a row:
- Watch comedy every day, at least one hour.
- Eat ice cream, treat someone with an ice cream.
- Work out, throw out your frustration by playing tennis
or go for a run.
- Pee in the yard
- (and if you get a fine for urinating, laugh your ass off)
- Do not worry, life is too short for that
- (by staying busy, you do not have time to worry)
- Hug the people that you love
- Go enjoy a cup of coffee or tea
- Buy or save a cat or some other pet
- When you receive money, immediately save a part of it
- Don’t let the media scare you,
- the world is not getting worse, the world is getting better.
- Sex, need I say more
- (when you have sex your body also produces endorphins =
- those natural happiness substances)
Maybe the Recipe for Happiness
is different than you had expected….
But that doesn’t matter,
the point is that it works &
that it will help you to live happier.
Do it,
it is easier
then looking with a sour face.
If you liked this book & got some value from it.
Would you then be so kind,
please,
to recommend it
to the people that you know.
So that they too can enjoy it
and live happier.
Thank you very much.
