My persuit of happiness...

Guys, the one thing that i understood very very clearly is that 'Money doesn't buy you happiness'. This is a notion that everyone has that, more money gives you more happiness is utter bullshit. Gautama Buddha knew this and preached it 2500 years ago and it seems the message hasn't quite got the importance it deserves. My craving for exotic, exclusive, elusive, expensive, beautiful etc., things does not end with anything. I get bored very fast with my stuff... donno for how much time will my wife be new to me....Ha Ha ;)

I should have planned my career in a better way. That, money doesn't buy happiness is something I wish I should/could have experienced much earlier in my life and maybe then I could have planned my career to suit my abilities so that the job gives me more happiness. At the moment I feel that I have straitjacketed myself in a field that I don't like or I have little aptitude! What to do now? Can't help. I am only just started venturing into a new direction and I should not be so pessimistic so, maybe I am wrong now and maybe I might like it.....

you know something... people learn from their own experiences, but unfortunately it will be too late by the time we realize what we lost. Life has its tricky ways of teaching us at every point of our journey... one thing we should feel happy about is we are realizing though late.

Me too have several horrendous learnings of life just like you. In some way you are walking the same path I passed by several years back.
