The happiest are not always the successful ones!
How many years does it take you to understand this truth? Or are you still living in this bubble thinking happiness comes with materialistic wellbeing or depends on a successful life?
I would never say that you are responsible if you think this way. Because we all are victims of the system. The social system always forces us to achieve, reach a peak and do more to be successful.
Don't you come across many happy faces who are not successful in life? Maybe your grandparents who did farming for living? Or maybe someone random who seems like living the greatest life without any worries?
It's because success and happiness are not living in the same line, they are not linked.
There's such a rule that a wealthy person can not be happy. Or a graph where more wealth means decreasing in happiness. No, please don't misjudge these two.
Wealth and success are two different things. Sometimes only success can make someone happy. Many times the comfort that comes with wealth also can make us happier. But there's no guarantee that this will always work this way. On the other hand, unsuccessful life doesn't come with a guarantee of happiness.
What I meant to say is, living a very basic life, without achieving something extraordinary, not having some uplifting goals, not having many medals or a high academic career doesn't mean that person can never be happy. It's okay to live a simple life.
Bangladesh has climbed seven notches from last year and secured the 91st position among 163 countries in Global Peace Index for 2021.
This statement is proof of what I'm trying to say.
Why we are one of the happiest countries?
Because we are more connected to life than rushing to achieve the materialistic goals set by the capitalistic society. I strongly believe, this works the same on our personal level too.
Don't feel pity seeing others' hardship. You can care for, give your support, and respect them. But never think that they are less happy because they are not an achiever. Maybe it's your classmate, maybe some of your relatives, maybe the one who is living in the village. This is what I came to realize happiness and success are not linked, they never were like society told us.
I wish we could be taught differently. So now we can focus on the things that matter most in life, to be happy and peaceful rather than rushing to be successful.
I totally agree with you 👍the happiness is not always the successfulul
Thanks for agreeing.

Yes dear,but happiness is everything. We have to earn happiness at first. There are many people who are successful but unhappy. So i prefer happiness first
I wish we all could think this way.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
I believe that a person can be happy with very little things. Happiness does not require much success. But we still run after it because we believe that success means happiness in life.
Living in a materialistic society, it's hard to accompany these things. People will call us losers if we are not an achiever.
I wish we could understand this.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
It's amazing that you got a beautiful grandpa photo
Again, it's not my own capture. Thanks to the photographer who captured it. The smile looks very pure.
they are if they measure their success by how happy they are:)
That's true.
Thanks.
I concur...
Happiness can't be tag or pin point to an object or an event, neither can it be due to the possession or absence of something.
I believe happiness comes from within most times than how it's been triggered by external factors.
The way you see and take life will determine your level of happiness, that's why you might see someone who might be tag poor, less privileged or lame enjoying the best of life and beams with joy daily, and yet somone who as all still lack happiness.
It goes the other way round too.
Thanks for sharing this Masterpiece.
I totally agree with you. Happiness is in so many things and comes in so many ways.
We who are too accompanied with modern lifestyle almost forgotten this truth. All because there's a rush from behind to achieve more, to fit in.
I came to realize that's not working for me rather I should focus more on what matters most.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It means a lot.
Have a good day 🌸☀️
Being successful isn't all about wealth in the first place, one can just desire to be a successful farmer who does his cultivation and gets his harvest. There are a lot of things that are wrongly seen in the world today, happiness comes from within and a lot of things contribute to it, it's not also about wealth...
Totally. Unfortunately, we who are too accompanied with modern society, it takes a while to come to realize this.
Thanks for sharing your opinion.
Great Analysis.
Thanks.
