Owen once said, the pursuit of happiness is behind all human endeavor. This means, whether you are studying hard so as to go to Harvard, or working hard in order to buy a house, you just want to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is the ultimate reason behind everything we do.
Many people consider wealth and fame the main reason behind peoples endeavor. If you have money, you can live an extravagant life. If you have fame, you can be influential and popular. However, in my opinion, people work hard in order to realize their personal value.
Some say people work hard in order to achieve wealth and fame, if they became rich and famous, everything would be worth it. Others say people work hard so as to be useful to the society. They consider contribution the most important thing. What is actually the ultimate reason behind what we do then? In my opinion, it is the pursuit of happiness.
