“Before we close Dan, I want to ask you one last question. Although we implied it, we did
not discuss it specifically. But it is particularly important that we understand this.”
“What is the relationship or difference between success and happiness?”
Dan decided to practice ThERe as he wanted to protect the honor of his graduation and
bring the essence of all his learnings into this final answer. He was quiet, thinking, as Ron
waited without any sign of impatience.
“Happiness is intrinsic and intangible. We can choose to either keep it locked in or set it
free. Once out, it becomes tangible and obvious in our attitude, actions, behaviors, laughter,
and smiles. It is infectious.”
“Success is tangible and provides momentary pleasure and joy. It does not necessarily lead
to happiness. Successful people are not necessarily happy, but happy people always believe
they are successful!”
“Excellent explanation Dan. With this we close our sessions.”
“We will keep meeting in office for work and must also meet outside. As Nancy is much
better now, let us plan an evening. I will have her call Betsy and set up.”
“Finally, I want to complement you on your initiative and courage to seek help and come
to me. Both critical behaviors of Entrepreneurship skill of Bold Leadership. I wish you great
success and happiness.”
“I cannot thank you enough Ron. Betsy and I will look forward to meeting Nancy and you.
Thank you.”
