Banyak orang yang mencari kebahagiaan sejati dengan berbagai cara, namun, seringkali malah menderita hidupnya. Seringkali yang didapat hanya kebahagiaan sementara, atau semu.
Narkotika, dugem, alkohol, kesenangan pribadi, dan berbagai candu lainnya; cenderung justru menghancurkan pada akhirnya.
Lalu saya menemukan quote dari Nenek Eleanor yang bagus ini :
Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product.
Kebahagian sejati bukan tujuan, tetapi adalah hasil sampingan (dari pekerjaan lainnya).
Apa “pekerjaan lain”-nya itu? Salah satunya mungkin adalah ini.
Ada banyak lagi quote bijak lainnya dari ibu yang satu ini. Selamat menikmati.

Only a man’s character is the real criterion of worth.
Understanding is a two-way street.
When life is too easy for us, we must beware or we may not be ready to meet the blows which sooner or later come to everyone, rich or poor.

Women are like teabags. We don’t know our true strength until we are in hot water!
You can’t move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn’t mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.
