About This Quote
In life, we must make sacrifices in order to be happy. We can become so focused on what we want that we neglect the things that are important to us. But, if we put some things aside to bring us happiness, it will not necessarily bring us joy. As for example, some people may go out of their way to acquire fame and riches, which is more than enough to live a happy life, but they may sacrifice their health for this.
However, once they get sick, they will realize that they have lost more than just wealth and fame. They might not be able to enjoy the things that they once did.
