"... The people’s hero does not only have to be someone in possession of the scepter of power. It can be anyone capable of giving unity, prosperity, security, peace and a sense of worthiness to his people.

"What happiness?Here we have a kind of what they call a multiple choice question. Like any difficult question, let's go through elimination. Happiness is not really about having a good job, but obviously it's not about getting available in the market. It's not in the new car, but it's not about relying on public transport either. She is not in the college diploma, but not is in not having the opportunity to study. It is not in being better than others in some activity, but neither is it in not being good at anything. It is not in the accumulation of capital, but it is not in dependence on the state. In fact, happiness is not even happiness. Happiness is moment. Being with the one you love. Conquer what you want. But pass. Not everything you have seems to be exactly what you wanted. Nothing is eternal. Do you see grace in the eternal?Grace, that all things tend to lose after some time. Our standard of living is transformed. We note then that the happiness that everyone asks themselves is what they call "the meaning of life," that which flows a good way of living. The good way to live that may or may not be eternal. But in the long run it is that state of mind that the glass is half full. It is the result of the counterpart of the onus of the fascinating existential singularity. The question then is not what it is, but how it is. How to achieve. It's part of something. Have recognition. Get answers. All in all. To make things part of you. To recognize what you have. To valuing each achievement. It is action and reaction. It's a verb. Understand that we come into the world in the same way we will leave it: without being able to carry anything, but to leave. In this moment, as well as the good way of living, we transform doubt. Now the question is "what has it left"? What is your contribution to the world?We have a beginning: be guided by what you can do to make the world better than you have found. We have a beginning ... the rest ... it's up to you."
