Trading Away Your Happiness Now To Earn Money


How many of us are trading away our happiness now to earn money, in hopes that if you make enough, you will be able to buy it back later?

I am sure this is a common thinking, consciously or subconsciously. This is akin like, if I strike lottery, I will resign immediately and pursue my passion.



There will not be a conclusion and there will never be a conclusion in this topic. It is a journey. The only time you know the conclusion is when you are in your dying moment (*touchwood).

If you know you are going to die tomorrow, what will you do different today? If everyday, you know you going to die tomorrow, what will you do different everyday?

Here are some quotes:
1) A truly rich man is one whose children run into his arms when his hands are empty – Unknown

2) If you want your children to turn out well, spend twice as much time with them, and half as much money - Abigail Van Buren

3) Don’t educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price – Unknown

4) No amount of money or success can take the place of time spent with your family – Unknown

5) You can retire from a job, but don’t ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life - Stephen Covey

6) The goal isn’t more money. The goal is living life on your terms – Chris Brogan
