“I will ask you to project the look on a child’s face when he grasps the answer to some problem he has been striving to understand. It is a radiant look of joy, of liberation, almost of triumph, which is unself-conscious, yet self-assertive, and its radiance seems to spread in two directions: outward, as an illumination of the world—inward, as the first spark of what is to become the fire of an earned pride. If you have seen this look, or experienced it, you know that if there is such a concept as “sacred”—meaning: the best, the highest possible to man—this look is the sacred, the not-to-be-betrayed, the not-to-be-sacrificed for anything or anyone.”

“The small things in life is the main source of happiness. Money will never be enough! Has we get older our thirst for happiness will increase. A child will be happier than an adult simply because some of the small things that we look over, they are making the most of it. Even going to the park that child will run around, play with the birds an feel great, while we as the adults might not find or see the joy in those things. Our mind may be focused on our next goal, on things we are having a challenge to achieve or simply worrying about things we can not change.”
