“Happiness is a state of mind.  Whether you are rich or poor, if your mind is happy and can live self sufficiently, being content with the money, the house or the food we have, that’s already happiness.  My happiness started when I was a kid and was poor.  I could always be sufficient and happy with what I had.  Today, I feel happier when I see my family grow up well-heeled.  Right now I have enough and I want to rest.”
