Daniel Mejia dont compare yourself to others.

I was hanging out with my friend Nikki one day and came across an interesting looking book. This book is called, "The Art of Happiness." I started skimming the book as Nikki was doing something in the computer (probably facebook stalking cute boys), anyways, I was very interested in some of the concepts the Dalai Lama presented in this book. I ended up borrowing it from Nikki that same night. One of the most interesting concepts in this book is the fact that we are not happy because we are some greedy people. It is interesting how professional athletes that make millions of dollars per year complain about their salary. Simply because one of their teammates is making more money than they are. If you think about it, the only reason we want material things, is to satisfy our greed. We dont really need the new car every couple of years, the old one is perfectly fine as it is right now, and it serves its purpose which is transportation. If we just stop comparing ourselves to our neighbors or anyone we will appreciate more what we got and in the end be more happy.
