Live for Others, Happiness for Yourself What are we born for ?I once asked myself this question. The first answer that came to me was simple: we live to seek happiness.

BOASTING AND HUMILITYIn life, we often meet two kinds of people: those who show off, and those who are discreet. This difference hides a profound rule about stability and endurance. Think of a tree.
