Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.

-Ogden Nash

Right. Many people really believe that having a lot of achievements can make them happy. Yet, we keep on wondering why many of those successful people want to die (worse, they want to die by using their own hands!). Let us take into account one of my favorite writers, Ernest Hemingway. Who could have thought that despite his success in writing he still wanted to die?

I believe that what makes us successful is happiness. We can buy a number of houses, huge land, cars, yet we will not be happy. They make us happy for sometime, but not for long. Once our interest on material things fades, our fleeting happiness will also fade.
