When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

  1. I love your posts Don! thanks for sharing so much of your time. 🙂

  2. Yes, very true. Many different people define “success” in many different ways, and a lot of them forget that true success in life is about being happy. Why do we do all the things that we do? To reach happiness. To feel happy.
