A six-figure income affords a family many pleasures-- a more luxurious home, perhaps a trip to Disneyland or a fancier car. But do such things make you happier?
Pleasure is not the same as happiness. Pleasure is a temporary release.
Happiness comes from experiences in which one's mental and emotional energies are invested.
Just as happy families value pleasures that involve personal effort, so they value possessions that have personal meaning, like Grandma's wedding ring. Unhappy people,however, are more likely to prize possessions because of their cost or utility, a car that handles well or an expensive necklace.
Happiness is a permanent vacation.Would you quit your job if you didn' t need the money?Many Americans said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of life's chief satisfactions for people.
A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth.
