There’s a Big Difference Between Success and Happiness


Motivational Power Quote

There’s a Big Difference Between Success and Happiness
“Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.”
Dave Gardner, One of the Three Founders of Motley Fool


As I see it . . . . . . .

There’s a big difference between success and happiness

Success and happiness have difference meaning to difference people.

Drivers put success ahead of their family . . . . in a particular example.

A young businessman started out without much money and was driven to become successful he worked hard and long hours which left him little time for his wife and family.

His days flew by and grew into years and the day came that one by one his children when off to college. In their absence he soon found out the hard way that he didn’t know is wife.

When his children graduated from collage his children scattered around the country and had very little contract with the father that they never really knew.

Another young man had a driving desire to become successful.

He worked hard and long hours . . . . but he always made time for his family. There was date night with his wife the birthdays with the children and many game and events that he attended along with his wife.

The children grew up with a success father that had quality time to be part of their life. When the children went off to college he enjoyed the extra time with his wife.

Both businessmen reached their goal to become successful . . . . but only one found happiness in their life.

There is a big difference between success and happiness . . . . if want both you have to know who and what are really important to you . . . . and at having both in your life is a choice.
