Generations come and go. Styles and fads change. And always, adults find themselves scratching their heads over the interests of the youth and children of their day.

But it seems that some things are eternal. Recently the first graders at Jacksonville Country Day School were asked for their secret to happiness. The results will resonate with people of all ages.

Here’s a list of what the students said:

1. Playing with friends.
2. Doing something exciting like riding a rollercoaster at Busch Gardens.
3. Getting things you have wanted.
4. Doing things you love.
5. Buying food for others.
6. Telling funny jokes.
