Major in happiness

As this is my last post for Experience, Inc. I am happy to know that I have been given an opportunity to contribute to this wonderful cause. For the past few years of my life, I have been lucky to meet inspiring mentors who have really made a difference in my life through their encouraging words of wisdom and sincere advice. I hope that whatever I have contributed to this blog have helped you or will come useful to you at some point in your life.

Success can be defined in many ways and the only true interpretation is in the judgment of the beholder. Success can mean making a lot of money in your future or accomplishing high official ranks for some people. For others, it can be as simple as having a comfortable career, enough for living, and a lot of time for family & leisure. Whatever success means to you, I hope you will carefully evaluate your sacrifices & expectations in your journey towards that goal.

Success can mean a lot of money but a lot of money does not equal happiness. Whatever future career you are striving for, make sure that it is the type of work that will rise you out of bed every morning, happy. What is worse than working a job that gives little or no satisfaction at all? No one really loves to work all the time but it is important that you at least like what you do. Otherwise, success may be a lot farther off than you think because discontent is a sad feeling that cannot result in success.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors. And please remember, if you are truly happy with your life...then you are already successful, my friend.
