Happiness

Do not believe that hard work and happiness are in opposition. Do not believe that one must embrace leisure to know joy.

— Katalin Karikó, Breaking Through: My Life in Science

Happiness is not a goal, it is a by-product. Paradoxically, the one sure way not to be happy is deliberately to map out a way of life in which one would please oneself completely and exclusively.
