The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes, but in liking what one does.
-J. M. Barrie
Those with indomitable spirit are the real successes in life. If you can so train or condition your mind that you are content regardless of what you have or do not have, and if you can stand the challenge of all your trials and remain calm, that is true happiness.
-A Spiritual Leader "Paramahansa Yogananda"
With a genuine keenness or readiness to serve others, one can attain happiness in any group or community, and the eagerness to serve others will endow you with the power and skill necessary for the required service.
