Your happiness is my happiness.

About This Quote

In some cultures, parents are considered the main breadwinner for a family. In many of those cultures, mothers or fathers will work as hard as they can to make sure the family has enough money to live happily. In those cultures, happiness is more important than success. In those cultures, all members of a family share a common goal: to be happy.

That’s why this quote is so meaningful. All members of your family want the same thing: happiness – and they will do anything to make sure you have it – even if that means sacrificing their own happiness for yours.
