| Surprisingly money does not increase happiness after you have enough to cover the basic necessities in life. "One" of the sources of happiness is finding a meaningful purpose in work - in other words having passion in what you do. One derives more satisfaction and happiness from a sense of passion than just money.
For example, I am sure Jian Shuo gets a sense of satisfaction from the sucess of his blog more than money can buy. That's because it's a labor of love. Some of the most successful people I know don't view their work as "work". They will gladly do it for free because of passion. Ironically that passion translates into success and money. |
