TRADING MONEY FOR HAPPINESS

We like to read and listen that money curtails our happiness and we find ample report upon that. In the recent years, the Wall Street Journal blog, The Wealth Report, describe the story of a wealthy man who gave away his entire fortune as a means of achieving greater happiness. His feeling was that money and a luxury lifestyle were obstacles to being happy, so he decided and he wanted to give everything away. It is rare to find an example of someone who actually tests this hypothesis by giving their riches away becomes happy. You must accept that happiness is not about what you have or don’t have, but about what you do with what you have. It is certain that before taking any decision of giving my riches away, I will consult my family whether they are willing to shift in new small houses or not despite having privileges to get closer with each other in small house.   

I won’t trade money for happiness merely believing hypothesis that the corporate world is having dogged pursuit of dream and for the same instead of dogged pursuit I will pursuit my corporate dreams a receptive one. I will lead an obedient life in pursuit of corporate dreams and develop a hobby for causing the means of sustainable development in the society during my leisure time. I know doubling, tripling or quadrupling the sales is easy then to overcoming the failures. The corporate dreams would be dogged one when I will take longer to learn the art of overcoming failures.

There are a number of examples where the man has changed the style of earning money then to trading money. Comedian cum actor Rajesh Kumar recently abandoned his life in film city and joined agriculture in a village of Bihar. His reason is believed to be the monotonous shows offered to him and not being a challenging one. In a nutshell, I would, therefore, like to emphasise that even after trading money for happiness, I have to strive for my livelihood then why not to take the receptive pursuit of corporate dreams for happiness then to trading the same for the same wherein I will have win-win situation for both my money and happiness together. After all it is said that discipline creates life.
