you should be happy any time you win
Should one feel happy or sad on winning on time ?

you should be happy any time you win
This is absolutely correct. The clock is as much a part of the game as the board and pieces. If your opponent can't manage the clock, you deserve to win, just the same as if your opponent made bad moves.

thanks this gives me new perspective
you should be happy any time, even if you lose
No offence mam but that's quite unrealistic to me
Definitely happy. It's even better if I'm down like 9 queens and then win on time, getting a hateful look and surly attitude from my opponent because I had the nerve to not resign 8 queens ago. Good times.
LOL poor guy 9 queens lol

most people would choose to be happy just because being happy beats being sad hands down, but chess players tend to over analyze everything.

It is a chess player's responsibility to manage his use of time. To claim that a player lost the game only because he ran out of time is just as ridiculous as a driver claiming that he had an accident only because he was drunk.

Sometimes a player gets lucky and wins, but I wouldn't call the clock lucky. Players can watch their time and speed up or slow down appropriately.
If your opponent fails to speed up then the position was too complicated for them, or they weren't disciplined enough to speed up. Either way it was their lack of skill that lead to a time loss.
In your game you continued to make threats until the end, and they were too difficult for your opponent to solve in time.

I'm more happy winning on time than losing or drawing. But I'm happier winning by crushing my enemies than by winning on time.
Winning by force > winning on time > winning after opponent blunders their winning or drawn position > draw > losing after blundering > losing on time > losing by being beat.
I would much rather lose because I was outplayed than lose on time or lose due to a silly blunder.
In fact if someone plays exceptionally well against me, I almost don't feel bad about the loss at all because it was a beautiful game from my perspective.
this was a rapid game i was in a very bad position in this game but i still manage to win because i had time on clock
