"Yes Man"
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. Nowadays, we tend to regard it as derogatory to serve, but there is great worth in service.
There is joy in work. There is no happiness except in the realization that we have accomplished something.
-Henry Ford

Success is getting what you want; happiness is wanting what you get.
-W. P. Kinsella
