On Happiness and Achievement
“Happiness does not lie in happiness, but in the achievement of it.”
–Fyodor Dostoevsky
The great novelist was a man of immense literary talent, as well as a fount of well written wisdom. Here, the “Crime and Punishment” author reminds us that achievement is what makes us happy, not just the claim that we’re happy. True happiness is in the achievement and the pleasure one takes in the knowledge that one’s achieved.
Wisdom about money, investing and life can be found anywhere. If you have a good quote you’d like me to share with your fellow Weekly ETF Report readers, send it to me, along with any comments, questions and suggestions you have about my audio podcast, newsletters, seminars or anything else. Ask Doug.
In case you missed it, I encourage you to read my e-letter column from last week on Eagle Daily Investor about what August’s red-hot ETF data means. I also invite you to comment in the space provided below my Eagle Daily Investor commentary.
All the best,
