Success: the secret to a happy life

Nowadays, money is certainly something important in daily life since it is vital for survival.

Moreover, many people tend to believe that the mere possession of money is the only way to feel

happy. They do not realize that they have a misconception as regards felicity since there are logical

reasons to believe that success is the only way to achieve happiness. According to experts,

reaching personal goals and having a successful relationship with relatives and lifelong

companions are the keys to live a happy life.

To begin with, it is a well-known fact that most people derive pleasure from achieving

personal aims in life. Accomplishments such as getting good grades, taking a degree, having a

prestigious career and finding the dream job make people feel happier than anything else.

Academic research suggests that it is essential for students to get good marks. Otherwise, they

feel disappointed about failing their exams and they make the mistake of dropping school or

college. On the other hand, if they obtain high marks, they feel on cloud nine and they are so full

of the joy of springs that they finish their course of studies sooner. In this way, they not only make

their dreams of becoming a professional true but also get the opportunity of having the job they

have always wanted.

Secondly, having a loving relationship with relatives and partners is the essence of life.

Love seems to be the antidote to sadness and depression. Apparently, if people learn to give and

receive love on a daily basis, they will eventually have a happy life. Canadian experts shed light on

this matter when discovering that the majority of people who are in love do not tend to suffer

from depression, and consequently, are happier. Those who have not found the right person to

share their lives with often feel down in the dumps and lonely. Moreover, it is also said that

friendship helps to face problematic situations. If someone is able to share and give support, this

person will succeed in having a lot of friends. As a result of this, he or she will feel fully satisfied

with life.

In conclusion, happiness is a contentious issue since there are many experts trying to

identify what makes people happy. For several reasons, some people believe that money is the

way to pursue happiness. On the other hand, a large number of people consider success as the key

to spend a happy and fulfilling life. Achieving personal goals leads to success, and as a

consequence, it immediately conducts to positive emotions and a sense of happiness.
