Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
