   It’s a great point, Terence. I think that entrepreneurs need to make people happy to be successful. Entrepreneurship is all about satisying human needs of one type or another, and when needs are satisfied, we humans are happy. But entrepreneurs need to stay happy themselves. I don’t think entrepreneurs who work only for money are happy. There needs to be joy in the entrepreneurial process, or else entrepreneurial failure is much more likely, don’t you think?

   @Ellen:

   I agree with you. A success entrepreneur without a great happy life, it’s a a true success entrepreneur. Thank you for stopping by!

   I’m a bit shy about showing my smile, but I did mention your launch in my blog today.

   Definitely a site I’m sharing with my friends.

   I actually saw your post right after you post it. Thank you for link love.

   Don’t be shy. I post one of my friend on the happiest blog, who is very shy like a teen girl. So don’t be shy. Your smile will make your reader happier as well.

   Wow, Terence, congrats on the new project. It seems like a lot of probloggers are having happy projects :).
   I think the key to happiness is contentment :). From my mental health studies, many research papers have concrete evidences that to a certain degree wealth bring happiness but not a whole lot.
   The most happy person I have met in my life was a Scottish missionary lady who worked with the ingenious tribe in Papua New Guinea.
   She has the most radiant smile whom I have met and her possession was a bit of clothings and some pigs :).

    @Jamy:

    I did not know probloggers are doing the similar happiness project. I guess they all have some to offer. I am offering some happy smiles, which doesn’t have too much to read.
    Yeah. missionary people have a great smile. How about your smiles? Share with all of us.

    Thanks!

    I heard two very wise maxims that run in the same vein of this excellent blog post (I love your tag line by the way terence, “work hard like an…”):

    “My heart and soul are for my family, my brain and balls are for business.”

    “Happiness is for kids.”

    Basically what they’re saying is that everything is a means to something else. You must be passionate about work and be comfortable on the track your running on to run a marathon for about fifty to sixty years.

    If you look at a runner while he’s on his 22nd mile in a 26.2 mile race does he look “happy”? No. But I’m sure there’s passion, quiet determination and a sense of accomplishment beneath the mask of sweat.
