Re: What will make you happy?
My children bring me vast joy, for their affection is unalloyed.
From a career perspective, I've had a few extraordinarily intense experiences where a team of people worked very, very hard to get a particular result. It creates a very strange espirit de corps that is quite memorable; and in that context, I've done some things professionally that I never thought I could do (or, more properly, feared I could not do).
The sense of satisfaction that comes from doing a job I enjoy, and doing it well, doesn't rest on compliments from others, but rather on my own sense of a job well done. That sense of satisfaction makes me happy.
If you can, find a job you enjoy doing. Money alone is no substitute for time.
