Someone I know asked me if he will be a boss in the company, then he will be happy. "If I will become a boss, I will be happy right?" Then I just said "Of course!" But I'm not really so sure about my answer.
When we get our goals or achievements, naturally we feel happy because our struggle is paying it off. However, it is no guarantee that you will feel happy for so long. When you become a boss to the company, you think that you can adjust your time for work. Sometimes, it's not like that. When you become a boss you gain responsibility not just money. You will be more busy than before. You become competitive because you don't want your company to get bankrupt. You will have no time for your family because you're busy for your company.
It will be worth it, right? Because your family will enjoy the money you earn. For you seeing their smile is making you happy. Isn't it? Then how can you see their smile if you're working in the company and not even seeing them enough?
If you're single, you're searching for a wife or husband? Then how can you search when you're busy? Some of them wants your company but not you.
There are two happiness: 1. Temporary happiness, you gain it in temporary things or events. 2. Permanent happiness, is to appreciate simple things with contentment.
Maybe happiness is not really about the goal or achievements but experience and good memories. But permanent happiness is more difficult to achieve than your goal.
Happiness is not defined by money or title; happiness is the process of becoming your ideal self. According to an article that I read somewhere, those who keep on seeking for happiness will never find it. The key is to just appreciate the little things and live in the present moment.
