Your attitude, not your achievements, brings happiness. Samuel Johnson, the 18th Century poet, stated, 'He who has so little knowledge of human nature as to seek happiness by changing anything but his own disposition, will waste his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply the grief which he purposes to remove.' Think about it!
