Success isn’t to be happy, but to have done good in the world. I think money and happiness are strong motivators, but age has brought me the wisdom that to spend life looking for monetary satisfaction or happiness is to set yourself up for disappointment — we always want more.
There’s something deserving of an award if you spend your life doing your best to make the world a better place. I believe that happiness and satisfaction — in part — come from learning to love to learn. It teaches you that you don’t know it all.
Being excited about learning new things will set you on the path to redefining what that means.
