Summary

This quote suggests that true happiness and contentment come from personal accomplishments and successes that go unnoticed by others. When one's fortune or achievements remain hidden or are not openly displayed, they are less likely to attract envy or jealousy from others. In this way, genuine happiness is found in the fulfillment of one's own goals, rather than seeking validation or recognition from others.

He who every morning plans the transactions of the day, and follows out the plan, carries on a thread which will guide him through the labyrinth of the most busy life. The orderly arrangement of his time is like a ray of light which darts itself through all his affairs.
