The answer to "what measures you?" ?

After I finished writing my post entittled "What measures you", I fixated my thoughts (and belief for that matter) that money is not the answer to our happiness.

A couple of days after that, as I was channel surfing (read: almost all channels here are in chinese) and then I stopped in CNN. The current programme is Talk Asia. They were interviewing this guy whose name is japanese but can converse very well in english. They were talking how he became rich and the things his poor dad and rich dad thought him. I already heard about this book and I was surprise that this guy is the autor of the book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad".

They continue with the conversation and in one instance the author said that there are people who are claiming that money cannot make them happy..Ouch! As he continue, he said that such people whose claiming such are the one who might be the unhappiest people in the world. He said, if money cannot make you happy, then why saving your money in the bank and keep on saving to make it grow? - because in reality, it makes us happy.

(Sigh). Point consider.

But then again, I was like what the heck?! Am I such a lonely person by merely thinking that money cannot make me happy? I said, it will not make me a hundred percent happy and I believe that is still the truth.
