"It was the worst day of my life! It took 20 minutes to board! We had to sit on the runway for 40 minutes!"
We hear complaints like these all the time. As if we've forgotten how incredible it is that humans can fly at all.
Not everything in life goes exactly how we plan. Stuff happens. Over-obsessing and basing happiness on specific outcomes leads to misery.
No two human beings are the same. Why should we have one standard of success?
Society standard of success is an endless rat-race. There will always be someone better than you. You'll never have the time to do everything.
When you choose one thing, you simultaneously don't choose several others. it's beautiful thing we get to choose our ultimate ideal.
We must define success, wealth, and happiness in our own terms because if we don't, society will do it for us -- and we will always fall short.
