What is HAPPINESS and SUCCESS • happiness and success. First happiness; Happiness defined as “A state of well-being, joy, or contentment” or “A state of good cheer and satisfaction, free of anxiety, pain, or sorrow” . Almost any definition for the word happiness is tied up with the word “state”. That means whatever the thing that makes you happy – drink, drug, job, sex, love or kids- it is just a state, which means eventually it will vanish. • Second, Success defined as “The accomplishment of an aim or purpose“, believe it or not, success does not bring happiness to your life it does not bring that big value that can make your life worth living. Examples of Great Philosophers Siddhartha Gautama Buddha Four (4) Noble Truths Dukkha - Life is unsatisfactory, disjointed, suffering. Samudaya - There is a cause of suffering, which is attachment or desire (tanha). Nirodha - There is a cessation of suffering, which is to eliminate attachment and desire. Marga - The path that leads out of suffering is called the Noble Eightfold Path. What is the difference between KNOWLWDGE and WISDOM???
