Simplified Meaning:
Being successful means achieving your goals and acquiring things you desire. For instance, if you aim to buy a new car and manage to do so, you're successful in that goal. However, happiness is about appreciating and being content with the things you already have. Imagine getting a simple gift from a friend; if you cherish it, you feel happy. An athlete may feel successful winning a gold medal, but they'll truly be happy if they value the experience and memories more than just the prize. To apply this idea, focus on setting goals and working hard to achieve them, but also practice gratitude for what you already possess. By doing so, you can live a more balanced and fulfilled life, enjoying both your accomplishments and everyday moments.
