Quote
1
My philosophy in life is either go all the way or don't go at all. Half assing anything never gets you anywhere.

Being happy today isn't the same as being happy was in the 40s or 50s. Today's society has distorted what happiness is, making it more of a band wagon thing driven by money, materialism, or who has accomplished more of this or that. Being happy isn't about accomplishing the most, it's knowing that with anything you do no matter how big or small, you changed someones life. Their thoughts, ideas or beliefs, enabling them to see through the grim fog that today's society has evolved into and finding the real purpose of life.
