Everyone want happiness in their life. However, nobody can own the happiness in life without paying any effort.
If you think being rich is the way to make you happy, then earn more, find more and save more money.
If you think being famous in the society is your definition of happiness in life, then contribute something to the society, build up your reputation among people, join politic party, do charity.
If you think have your own free time and freedom can make you happy, then sacrifice other thing which consume your time. Work less, play less, have a better time management.
If you think have a good relationship with your partner can brighten up your day, then care about her/him more. Love him/her, put more effort in your relationship.
The meaning of pursuit of happiness is "chasing after" your own happiness. You have to work for it, run to it and grab it with your own hand.
Just sitting there and wait for the happiness to drop from the sky? Common, wake up la.

What is happiness? Everyone demands different things at different times. :( I am sick of all the 'chasing'..so..will i be unhappy? Seems like people who demand the least, sometimes, is the happiest. at least they seem happy. or are they just ignorant. but ignorance is bliss? Booom...exploded.
from a very young age, we've been shown a path that we should follow - you can probably call it the path of least resistance... does it lead to happiness? maybe... but then again, how'd you define what makes you happy? is being either famous/ rich/ loved enough? can we survive with either one of that alone? i don't think so... everyone is chasing after something... whether or not we are successfull is another story... but like everything else in life, all we can do is give 100% and try our best... if it works, great... if not, well... nobody said it's going to be easy did they?

'unhappiness is not knowing what we want n killing ourselves to get it( someone once said this)'

CL, that's why i am such an easily-pleased guy these days. happiness is not relative to other materialistic function. happiness, to me, is intrinsic. somehow, if i want to be happy, i can be...regardless of the state of my surrounding.
nevertheless, yes, goals in life drive us mad. i am wondering everyday, whether it is worth the price!
