About This Quote

How do you find happiness? Do you go for what makes you happy, or do you go for what others want you to do? The world would be a much better place if people would make their own choices instead of following others. Only when people make their own choices will they be happy. The world has become increasingly more competitive and materialistic, but our happiness has declined. We are all looking for inspiration to make the world a better place, yet those who want to change the world do not always succeed.
