Whats more important?

happiness or success?

Imagine this, your a successfull businessman with a good job and stable home but your unhappy and depressed.

Your working in a factory earning basic pay, but your really happy and love life. However you wish you could live in a nice home.

happy. look what happens to professional athletes. they become successful but they just give up later on and start doing drugs or develop a mental disorder (addiction to drugs/alcohol, depression)

i'm talking about the ones that are depressed cause their careers runs their life. Theoren Fleury is addicted to drugs/gambling/sex/alcohol and hes one the stanley cup and a gold medal. and people think why did he become depressed :<>#

and all those famous hollywood stars who earn millions of dollars per movie are getting cought cuz of drugs etc but why if they have all

because they are ppl !!!!!!

being successful doesnt mean you will be depressed

there is no such thing successful or happy
but if you are successful you will be happy

QuoteYour working in a factory earning basic pay, but your really happy and love life. However you wish you could live in a nice home.


how can you be happy if you all the time wish you could live in a nice home

you dont get what im saying. i'm saying that there are certain thigns that drive successful people to do things like that and then they ruin their lives. and if your successful you aren't always happy. yo ucould be a millionaire and have nice cars house clothes all that and still fell shitty cause you can't get a gf/wife and can't start a family cause the way you are(not all cases tho, you can be both)

Crows can also speak better than parrots and jump around in snow and fly... They have also highly sophisticated problem solving skills, as you've seen crows do.

Cool things, crows

I'm going to stick with Socrates on this one, Happiness - everything we do in life, we do it to be happy.

Happiness
example is bad, i think when you are full of happiness you don't need better home/apartment because of you're already happy with it what you got

LavOd 20 Nov 2010, 20:43
If I succeed to a certain level in things I find important, I'll be happy.

as long as you can fool your mind, it doesn't matter wich one you choose

Happiness is something to have, but you'd be stupid not to notice various problems and faults that occur all over the world. Being successful probably means you're intelligent and get what you want, but I'd say that people that 'love life' all the time are ignorant, and ignorant is bliss, I suppose.

how comes your a not happy while being succesful?

Same as said above... you need both, but one doesn't necessitate the other. Though it depends a lot on how you're defining wealth - anyone with access to credit has a wealth. A better example is the person contemplating dropping 10k a year to pursue a career they love, as opposed to the financial stability they own.

I've lived both from running out of cash 2 days before pay day & having to 'forget' my wallet when buying petrol to working a job I love at a good wage as is atm where I can afford most of what I want. Also had time on the dole mainly just drinking with the down 'n out, those that'd given up... which was a fun but ultimately unfulfilling existence!

Personally found the worry of meeting the next bill the hardest - it leads to a certain nihilism that's hard to battle.

Having mates & someone to love is life's foundations - but you need the rest to live.
