In a paper published earlier this year, he and his collaborators asked more than 2,000 people who have a net worth of at least $1 million (including many whose wealth far exceeded that threshold) how happy they were on a scale of one to 10, and then how much more money they would need to get to 10. \\u201cAll the way up the income-wealth spectrum,\\u201d Norton told me, \\u201cbasically everyone says [they\\u2019d need] two or three times as much\\u201d to be perfectly happy. \\nhttps://www.theatlantic.com/family/archive/2018/12/rich-people-happy-money/577231/\\n[30:6] Such is GOD\'s promise\\u2014and GOD never breaks His promise\\u2014but most people do not know. [30:7] They care only about things of this world that are visible to them, while being totally oblivious to the Hereafter.\\nNot everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.\\nSome of the things that matter the most are not measurable in the worldly sense?\\nRighteousness, virtue, honesty, etc. \\n[7:26] O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of GOD\'s signs, that they may take heed.\\nHoarding\\n[102:1] You remain preoccupied with hoarding. [102:2] Until you go to the graves.\\n\\u0627\\u0644\\u062a\\u0651\\u064e\\u0643\\u0627\\u062b\\u064f\\u0631\\u064f = the competitive quest for more / hoarding. \\n\\u201cWe buy things we don\'t need with money we don\'t have to impress people we don\'t like.\\u201d\\nGod makes us satisfied \\n[53:48] He is the One who makes you rich or poor.\\n\\u0623\\u064e\\u063a\\u0652\\u0646\\u064e\\u0649\\u0670 = Ag-nah-ah = Rich = free from need\\n\\u0648\\u064e\\u0623\\u064e\\u0642\\u0652\\u0646\\u064e\\u0649\\u0670 =\\xa0 ag-nah-ah = poor = makes satisfy\\nRoot =\\xa0\\u0642 \\u0646 \\u064a =\\xa0to acquire a thing; to cause to acquire; make contended; satisfy; preserve; make satisfy with a given thing \\nGOD is the only one who can make us satisfied \\nMotley Crue movie - Dirt\\xa0\\nBeing impressed by the\\xa0abundance of sin\\n[5:100] Proclaim: "The bad and the good are not the same, even if the abundance of the bad may impress you. You shall reverence GOD, (even if you are in the minority,) O you who possess intelligence, that you may succeed.\\u201d \\n[9:55] Do not be impressed by their money, or their children. GOD causes these to be sources of retribution for them in this life, and (when they die) their souls depart while they are disbelievers.\\n[9:85] Do not be impressed by their money or their children; GOD causes these to be sources of misery for them in this world, and their souls depart as disbelievers. \\nGod has everything we need\\nAddiction - drug, porn, depression etc. root cause is lack of satisfaction \\nDepression - some people have a genuine psychological imbalance \\nI think out of the 9 different traits for depression only 2 h'
