“It is not granted to us that what we wish for most of all will fall into our laps. Luck is no star-money falling into our laps when we stupidly stare into the starry skies and wait for something to happen. No. We have to actively participate in searching for and creating our very own happiness. In the Declaration of Independence, the pursuit of happiness is mentioned – it is one of the fundamental rights of every human being, as well as freedom and life itself. We cannot passively expect. We have to actively strive for it. Every human can change his life for the better if he is willing to take the heat for it. But it takes courage.”
