Happiness is neither a product of success, wealth or power nor anything else that confers distinction. Happiness is the result of satisfaction. But doesn’t satisfaction comes from achieving what one wants? True but it is important to understand that most of us are not destined to achieve the success that we have aspired to and, therefore, it is important to seek satisfaction from the little things that life has to offer — an pleasurable evening in the company of friends; the affection of one’s children or grandchildren; an article well-written; a word of encouragement from a teacher or superior; the confidence of one’s subordinates.
