Happiness is one of the most fundamental things we pursue during our life‚ but we‚ sometimes‚ may find it difficult in making a decision whether to make others happy or to find our own pleasure.

Ross Perot was an unkown multimillionaire and his money is the only reason that he made it into the presidential election.
