How to be Happy

Try to be great and you will fail. Try to be a decent person and you may well succeed at times. Don't try to be anything you aren't, and you will never be anything you desire to be. However, where others are concerned, try to be something to them and you will fail the both of you. Being nothing but what you are, you can fail only them and not yourself. One must remember, though, that the people we should worry about failing are the ones drawn to us because we don't try to be what we aren't in the first place. Struggle and want will ultimately always lead us to failure.

The moral of the story: The only way to be really happy with yourself and everything around you is to simply not give a shit about anything.
