Life is Happiness

Passion is a force that shapes not only our work but our entire experience of life. It fuels creativity, determination, and joy. When we fully embrace what excites us, we open ourselves up to seeing life not just as a series of challenges but as a beautiful game - one where every person, every moment, and every experience plays a role. Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak embodied this mindset, viewing life with a profound appreciation for its interconnectedness. His perspective is a reminder that when we follow the path of passion, we tap into a deeper sense of fulfillment and purpose.

“I came up with a formula because I’m a, you know, mathematics type person - H equals S minus F. Happiness, which is what life’s about, is Smiles minus Frowns.”

"Life is happiness and I think life is so great a thing to have and I have so much enjoyment in my own life. But every one of you, every single person in the world is a participant in this game that I love so much, called life. So when I walk through an airport I look at every single person and I smile at them all. And they are all a part of the life that gives me enjoyment. If one of them came up and pulled a gun on me, I would still feel he's a part of the game that I get to play; this wonderful game called life that has a lot of other outcomes. It's a difficult way of thinking. I thought this way my whole life but it's like a sea that we are all in together and of course in that sea you've got a few Mount Everest's.”
