#72None of us will know if Mark Cuban is truly happy. And we cannot tell for sure if you will ever be happy. What is clear from all you have said, is that riches will not make you happy.

Personally, I kind of like the hustle and fight at the bottom, but it can get tiring. Money doesn't buy happiness. It only buys you time and the raw materials to be happy. Again, I think your issue might be the thought of losing what you ha…

Re: Having a hard time getting over being not rich
#77I have observed lot of people and the only people who I find to be happy or content are the ones with least ambition or those who create something (no matter the size of their creation). So my suggestion to you is focus your energy into creating something.

#78you should just donate it all and start from zero.
Im not sure if I have the balls. Maybe thats why Ill be a fucking faggot the rest of my life. And no, I dont mean faggot as homosexual. That word should be exuded from homosexual context.
