“The happiest people I’ve ever met, regardless of their profession, their social standing or their economic status, are people that are fully engaged in the world around them. The most fulfilled people are the ones who get up every morning and stand for something larger than themselves. They are the people who care about others, who will extend a helping hand to someone in need or will speak about an injustice when they see it.”
