The price of simplicity

[Beregond]

1 guy from a small fishing village go to the city and make it big, work hard climb the corporate ladder to the top.

when he reach the top , he realise all he wanted was go back the the village lepak and fish whenever he want.

Bro...money can buy things/services.......it cannot buy happiness.

There are plenty of rich people who are not happy. 

There are also many poor people, but somehow they are happy.

So happiness does not come from the state of wealth, but rather, from the state of mind.

This is why we are having a "great resignation" now because their mental health got affected. They realize that their monthly paycheck could not buy them happiness.

But what  if one has very little  money?

Well, then I guess you can still be happy, but you will need to do what this guy does below in his famous Ted x talk

Yes, it does buy short lived low level happiness.   
but the true kind of happiness cannot be bought with money.

cliche i know, but its reality.
