Happiness and success, which one would you choose?
If asked five years ago, I'd resolutely opt for the latter. At that time, being ahead of the competition meant everything, and seemed to hold endless promises.
But sadly I've grown more and more unmotivated over the years. Sometimes I even harbour thoughts of a blissful tai-tai existence. And research creeped in as a holistic option because it offers the you-can-have-both-career-and-family combination.
But then again, what if happiness and success are correlated, instead of mutually exclusive? Family makes me happy, and an interesting career makes me happy too. So the question is actually, which makes me happier?
I know that it's impossible to have the best of both worlds, and there's always a need to prioritize. But now i wonder, is two glasses half-full better than one full glass?
