I don't think we are in rat race chasing. I feel that happiness comes from within. You have to

love yourself before you can enjoy anyone else or life.

Happiness means to being able to fulfill your hopes and dreams. My motto for happiness is God,

Family, and everything else.

Because as long as you have God in your life, you will never be truly unhappy because you will

never be alone and gives you the love beyond understanding,

As long as you have family members standing beside and supporting, you can have the will to

keep on. I do not believe that money buys happiness because we have a lot of rich unhappy

people take our President, for example.
