True Happiness

  TRUE HAPPINESS IS TO REST SATISFIED WITH WHAT WE HAVE Tilicius Annagus Seneca was a man of many talents. He was a La poet, dramatist, orator, statesman, and one of the greatest of the Stoic philosophers. He was also one of the best-read men in Rome. At the moment he was thoroughly enjoying the fables of a Greek slave named Aesop who was said to have lived at the court of Croesus six centuries ago.  They were quaint little stories, about animals mostly—but each with a moral truth concealed in its penetrating nonsense. A pity more people couldn't read, he thought. There were some good lessons to be learned here. Suddenly his attention was caught by a single phrase: "Be content with your lot; one cannot be first in everything." Why that was almost exactly what he had written yesterday in his essay on happiness! He got it out and found the sentence: A wise man is a content with his lot, whatever it be.

We are living in the most technologically advanced age. In this emerging era of information technology, artificial intelligence has changed the face of our lives.

It may be possible that our journey may be interrupted at certain point due to them. We may finish there and say, “It’s enough ! I can’t do any more !” But the core essence of life is: Go on. A few achieve and a few quit. But the important thing that should not be forgotten is: Moving on. We can not stop anywhere. The journey should not be ended up. Do not let success get to your head; do not let failure get to your heart. Don’t give up; just sail on. But how can it be possible ? When we succeed, we are jovial; when we fail, we are miserable.
