Money can buy a car, but Not Happiness.

Money can buy a car, but Not Happiness.

A young man was once asked what would make him happy. He replied that owning an expensive luxury car would make him happy, and he worked hard to buy one. After purchasing the car, he spent extravagantly by buying costly suits and accessories to match his car and started dining at expensive restaurants. This lavish spending led to excessive credit card usage and eventually put him in a debt trap.

He realized that the car, which he thought would bring him happiness, was causing his unhappiness. He decided to sell the vehicle, becoming debt-free and feeling relieved. When a friend inquired about his newfound happiness, he replied, "I sold my car and bought back my happiness.

This story reminds us that happiness is not a commodity to be acquired but rather something to be felt from within. Unlike the young man's pursuit of external symbols of happiness, true happiness, like that of a joyful baby, comes from within and doesn't require a reason.

Jaby was casual in his appearance, but he was a thorough professional everywhere. During COVID, if there was one person whom I counted on to help people, it was Jaby; his car was filled with masks, sanitizer and an oxygen concentrator. His social bent of mind made him a good Samaritan. Jaby was a curious child, whenever we both met, he was curious to improve his skills and knowledge, and his quest for development was limitless.
