“I love fortune readings! because when I get in troubles, if the reading says that I am in a lucky day, I can think my troubles are just some kind of mistakes, and if the reading says that I am in the unlucky day, I can think that my troubles are just because of my bad luck. Either ways, I can know the reason of my troubles.” IfsThinkingKnowsWayKindI CanReasonReadingMistakeTroubleLuckyLuckFortuneBad LuckUnluckyLucky Day Author:Hiroko Sakai

“People misunderstand happiness. They think it's the absence of trouble. That's not happiness, that's luck. Happiness is the ability to live well alongside trouble. No two people have the same trouble, or the same way of metabolizing it. Q.E.D. - No two happy people are happy in the same way. . . . Every day brilliant people, people smarter than I, wallow in safe tragedy and pessimism, shying from what really takes guts - recognizing how much courage and labor happiness demands.” PeopleThinkingWayWellsTwoAbilityTroubleSafeDemandLaborTragedyLuckBrilliantAbsenceGutsPessimismSmarterRecognizingLive WellHappy People Book:Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story Source: Tolstoy Lied: A Love Story
