“For
most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and
working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or
friends, then the chances are you’re not going to be very happy. If someone
bases his happiness on major events like a great job, huge amounts of money, a
flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be
happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good
breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to
live with quite a bit of happiness.”
