Don’t... if you think it’s going to make you happy

2008-12-31

I was thinking of moving to India for six months.

I called my friend Tina to discuss it. We talked about pros and cons.

In the end, I asked, “Is there any reason not to go?”

She thought deeply then said, “Yes. Don’t go if you think it’s going to make you happy.

Brilliant.
