Happiness -> Success

"Happiness is the meaning and purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence."
                                                                                                              Aristotle
"If we were to ask the question:  'What is human life's chief concern?' one of the answers we should receive would be:  'It is happiness.'  How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness, is in fact for most men at all times the secret motive of all they do, and of all they are willing to endure."
                                                                                                             William James
"Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, the very purpose of our life is happiness, the very motion of our life is towards happiness."
                                                                                                             Dalai Lama
Happiness -> Success
