Well, to become truly happy, you should include yourself among those whom you want to make them happy. Be part of the joy. And many cases, you will know that make yourself happy can induce other's happiness also because they will see themselves in you and you become a role model of leading happy life. Not many like others to make a sacrifice for them. It's not win-win situation. Lead a happy life and make your happiness become contagious among those who are around is a wise choice.

Making people happy can be a good thing but you have to have balance. You also have to do what makes you happy with your life. You can't live to please others all the time...it will eventually make you very unhappy. You can live your own life and your own dreams while being good to others and bringing them joy from time to time. The people who really matter, like your family and friends should want you to do what makes you happy in your own life. That in itself should be enough to make them happy also.

No; I tried that for a while, and I WAS miserable. I tried going the other way, too, and that was almost as bad. I learned eventually that, like most other things, life has to be a good balance - taking care of yourself, and caring for others.

its true. actually becoming aware of the intents and needs or others makes people happy. when people are happy, more trusting, more sociable. . . its nice.
