Discover the other in yourself

But by learning to think flexibly
about our goals and to adjust them
in the face of failure, we can end up
feeling happier.

Money in the box

The keys
- Dont imagine that you can buy
happiness with money.
Happiness bought with money
soon melts away.
- Instead, invest in relationships
and friendships and enjoy
them.
- Look for a job which is
meaningful both for you and for
society.

Engage your skills, control your

enough.

journal.
