If I were given a choice between having status in society and plentiful money, and between having a happy, radiant, smiling self, I would choose the latter.
For what is great wealth if it begets misery? And what is high position if what comes with it is constant gloominess? And what good is the most beautiful wife she transforms her house into a living hell?
Most people do not open their eyes to the beauty of life, but open them only to gold and silver. They pass by a lush and luxuriant garden, a beuatiful bed of roses, a flowing river, or a group of singing birds, yet they are unmoved by such senses.
Nothing causes the soul or the face to frown more often and with more intensity than despondency and hopelessness. The door to opportunity is always open to you and to others, and so is the door to success.
So, indoctrinate your mind with hopes of prosperity in the future.
