When an Indian billionaire was asked in an interview,
Sir, what do you remember when you got the happiest in life?
The billionaire said,
I have gone through four stages of happiness in life,
and I finally understood the meaning of true happiness.
The first stage was to accumulate wealth and resources.
But at this stage I didn't get the happiness I wanted.
Then came the second stage of collecting valuables and items.
But I realized that the effect of this thing is also temporary.
Then came the third stage of getting a big project.
That was when I had 95% of the diesel supply in India and Africa.
But even here I did not get the happiness that I had imagined.
The fourth stage was when a friend of mine asked me to buy wheelchairs
for some 200 disabled children.
At the behest of my friend, I immediately bought the wheelchairs.
But the friend insisted that I go with him
and hand over the wheelchairs to the children.
I gave these children the wheelchairs with my own hands.
I saw a strange glow of happiness on the faces of these children.
I saw them all sitting in wheelchairs having fun.
I felt real happiness inside me.
When I decided to leave, one of the kids grabbed my leg.
I leaned over and asked the child, do you need anything else?
The answer this kid gave me completely changed my outlook towards life.
This child said, I want to remember your face
so that when I meet you in heaven I can recognize you and thank you once again.
