I believe happiness is the key to success and not the other way around. If you are happy in life you have succeeded. But just because you succeeded doesn't mean you are happy. I would rather take happiness over success any day! At least I know that everything is alright. Sometimes success can bring more pain than fame, more tears than joy!

Hi, I think both have its own consequences depending on its context. Of course, happiness leades to sucess, wherein for me it is by the other way, means success leads to happiness. Most of my success alwasy lead me to so much of success but just being happy in all respects, it doesn't mean that we should be successful. In my experience, my hardword always paved the way for the success and this success had influenced me greatly for my continued happiness. However, both are typically same but it matters how we apply the same in our life. Regards
