Satisfaction in Knowledge
I
like being happy. Who doesn’t? But I find that I’m most naturally
happy when I challenge myself to excel in areas that make me a better,
well-rounded person. Continually striving to be better gives me an
existential happiness. When I’m not engaged in challenging myself
professionally, personally or in my relationships with other people, I’m
not as happy as when I am. Learning makes me happy. It’s not empty
happiness either. It’s the kind of fulfilled happiness that comes from
turning potential into reality. And the technologies I’ve used to
expand my knowledge base take many forms too.
