Someone once asked me what do I, and everyone in the whole world wants. I answered then, happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I still think the same now, but my definition of happiness is different. In fact I think everyone\u2019s definition of happiness SHOULD be different. If you\u2019re re-using someone else\u2019s definition, most likely people you are not happy, especially if you have different values. For example I used to try a few businesses, and tried to join the trend of making or working in startups, because I think I would be happy because I would be using my brains and making money while doing it. Lots of money. But then I realised I don\u2019t really like talking to people and the stress of thinking about money and always looking out through ways to make money from anything, takes the joy out of most things I do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did realise that I like to learn how things work, both technically\/engineering wise and financially, but the bliss of just learning without monetising it is my kind of happiness. I now try to avoid blogs or podcasts that tell you \u201cHow to make that FIRST million!\u201d because they simply make me feel like I\u2019m a failure. I mean I would love to have more money and not worry about it, but I don\u2019t mind not having that million, but being to learn about (almost) whatever I want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
