		<description>@ Lara,

Thank you very much for your kind words. It&#039;s okay if you disagree with me. You don&#039;t have to like or agree with everything I write!

@ Aaron 82,

Thanks but I sure hope you weren&#039;t reading my blog on your lunch break! 5:08 P.M. is pretty late!

@ Mike,

Thanks! I try.</description>

		<description>Adam,

It&#039;s not that I didn&#039;t agree with you. It&#039;s just very surprising to see such an ambitious entrepreneur so introspective and in touch with what&#039;s really important.

I think because of how you think and feel and obviously strive to be it&#039;s only going to make you appreciate everything you accomplish (and are able to buy) once you reach a certain level of success you will inevitably get to.

I do really enjoy your happiness posts and I hope you continue to write about happiness because I think it&#039;s the most important and interesting subject.</description>

		<description>Adam,

Just read your post. We are 100% in agreement on this topic.

I think people had a problem with my prior post because it&#039;s very unconventional for an entrepreneur to be complacent.

However, as you know, I&#039;m not saying complacency is the answer. I&#039;m saying if you can&#039;t be happy by yourself, with your own thoughts, you&#039;ll never be happy, no matter how many cars or millions you have.

And in the end, what&#039;s the point if you won&#039;t be happy no matter what you have?</description>

		<description>Again, couldn&#039;t agree with you more bro. Not really sure why people get ticked off with your happiness posts, but it&#039;ll be interesting to see how they comment up this one.

Btw - back on my old blog I did a similar post http://www.adam-mcfarland.net/sl-ye-archive/2007/05/success-and-happiness-myths-all-over.html

Keep the good stuff coming!</description>
