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.
