“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.”
HERMAN CAINIt is an age old assumption and the conventional idea is that Success brings Happiness. And this formula is taught almost everywhere from schools, families to societies. The formula is: If you work hard, you will become successful and after you become successful, you will be happy. However this formula of Life is broken and it runs Backward. If success causes happiness, then every student who gets first division, every successful person who achieves his/her goals, every Business man who earns higher profits etc should be happy.
Look around yourself. You will find that most of the people are having success of many kinds yet they are not happy. Why there is more depression and People are facing severe stressful lives despite having high income levels and material amenities? The reason is – SUCCESS IS JUST LIKE MOVING GOAL POSTS. AFTER ONE SUCCESS ONE WILL YEARN FOR ANOTHER SUCCESS. Having a car means the next target is a bigger or costlier car. Having a position means the next target is promotion for sitting in a higher position, having one business success means expansion or diversification of another one. In this way there is a never ending journey of success for a person.
