"Notre plus grande victoire est d'atteindre une vie ordinaire avec satisfaction."
— Alain de Botton
Simplified Meaning:
Finding true happiness in living a simple, everyday life is a big achievement. Many people believe they need to be famous or wealthy to be happy, but real joy comes from appreciating the small, daily moments. Imagine feeling happy just by spending time with family or enjoying a peaceful walk. This means you don’t need anything extra to feel satisfied. For example, think of a farmer who loves his work and feels happy at the end of the day because he gets to watch the sunset with his family. He is content with his ordinary life because he values what he already has. You can apply this idea by focusing on what makes you happy on a daily basis, rather than always wanting more. Enjoy the little things and recognize the beauty in your everyday life.
