Quote by Dale Carnegie

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.

Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what

Summary

This quote implies that success and happiness are two separate things. Success here is defined as achieving one's desires or goals, while happiness involves finding contentment and satisfaction with what one already has. It suggests that success alone does not guarantee happiness if it is accompanied by a constant desire for more. Instead, true happiness arises from being grateful and appreciative of the present moment and the things that have been attained. It emphasizes the importance of aligning one's desires with reality and finding joy in the present rather than endlessly chasing success.

If only we could have talked to you, the hive-queen said in

If only we could have talked to you, the hive-queen said in Ender's words. But since it could not be, we ask only this: that you remember us, not as enemies, but as a tragic sisters, changed into fol shape by fate or God or evolution. If we had kissed, it would have been the miracle to make us human in each other's eyes. Instead we killed each other. But still we welcome you now as guestfriends. Come into our home, daughters of Earth; dwell in our tunnels, harvest our fields; what we cannot do, you are now our hands to do for us. Blossom, trees;ripen, fields; be warm for them, suns; be fertile for them, planets:they are our adopted daughters, and they have come home.
