00:00:00,009 --> 00:00:17,000

Happiness

2

00:00:17,009 --> 00:00:21,310

Many people think that when they become rich and successful,

3

00:00:21,319 --> 00:00:24,370

happiness will naturally follow.

4

00:00:24,379 --> 00:00:27,860

Let me tell you that nothing is further from the truth.

5

00:00:27,869 --> 00:00:31,200

The world is full of very rich people

6

00:00:31,209 --> 00:00:34,650

who are as miserable as if they were living in hell.

7

00:00:34,659 --> 00:00:41,000

We have read stories about movie stars who committed suicide or died from drugs.

8

00:00:41,009 --> 00:00:45,620

Quite clearly, money is not the only answer to all problems.

9

00:00:45,629 --> 00:00:50,540

Wealth obtained through dishonest means does not bring happiness.

10

00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:54,040

Lottery winnings do not bring happiness.

11

00:00:54,049 --> 00:00:57,980

Gamble winnings do not bring happiness.

12

00:00:57,989 --> 00:01:01,110

To my mind, the secret to happiness lies in your successful work,

13

00:01:01,119 --> 00:01:03,770

There is no use saying

14

00:01:03,779 --> 00:01:06,540

in your contribution towards others’ happiness

15

00:01:06,549 --> 00:01:10,000

and in your wealth you have earned through your own honest effort.

16

00:01:10,009 --> 00:01:15,240

If you obtain wealth through luck or dishonest means,

17

00:01:15,249 --> 00:01:18,380

you will know that it is ill earned money.

18

00:01:18,389 --> 00:01:23,190

If you get your money by taking advantage of others or by hurting others,

19

00:01:23,199 --> 00:01:25,230

you will not be happy with it.

20

00:01:25,239 --> 00:01:28,390

You will think you are a base person.

21

00:01:28,399 --> 00:01:37,440

Long－term happiness is based on honesty, productive work, contribution, and self－esteem.

22

00:01:37,449 --> 00:01:41,750

Happiness is not an end; it is a process.

23

00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:46,500

It is a continuous process of honest, productive work

24

00:01:46,509 --> 00:01:49,300

which makes a real contribution to others

25

00:01:49,309 --> 00:01:53,020

and makes you feel you are a useful, worthy person.

26

00:01:53,029 --> 00:02:02,830

As Dr. Wayne wrote, “There is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”

27

00:02:02,839 --> 00:02:05,530

“Some day when I achieve these goals,

28

00:02:05,539 --> 00:02:10,030

when I get a car, build a house and own my own business,

29

00:02:10,039 --> 00:02:12,120

then I will be really happy.”

30

00:02:12,129 --> 00:02:15,700

Life just does not work that way.

31

00:02:15,709 --> 00:02:18,700

If you wait for certain things to happen

32

00:02:18,709 --> 00:02:23,220

and depend on external circumstances of life to make you happy,

33

00:02:23,229 --> 00:02:26,000

you will always feel unfulfilled.

34

00:02:26,009 --> 00:02:28,000

There will always be something missing.
