NOTE

The Pursuit of Success and Happiness

Many successful people may be unhappy because they are driven by a deep psychological need that success alone cannot fulfill, such as the pursuit of status and admiration. This may lead to compulsive behavior and a continuous strive for something that may already exist within them. The pursuit of success evolves over time, from the thrill of experimentation to a new perspective. It is important to note that there is no strong correlation between the amount of money one has and happiness; rather, meaningful relationships and a sense of community play a more significant role in determining one's happiness, which is genetically programmed into us as a crucial source of happiness.
