About This Quote

When it comes to wealth, happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement. If you’re miserable at work, it probably has something to do with your attitude. Of course, you could always change jobs, but then you’d be taking your happiness with you. When you’re working hard at something - whether it be schoolwork, a hobby, a sport or a job - you enjoy the journey as much as you enjoy the destination.

That’s why some people never become successful at anything they do. They never put in the effort required to get anywhere.
