Mizuki Shigeru’s Seven Rules of Happiness.
#7 – Believe in what you cannot see – The things that mean the most are things you cannot hold in your hand.
#6 – Take it easy – Of course you need to work, but don’t overdo it! Without rest, you’ll burn yourself out.
#5 – Talent and income are unrelated – Money is not the reward of talent and hard work. Self-satisfaction is the goal. Your efforts are worthy if you do what you love.
#4 – Believe in the power of love – Doing what you love, being with people you love. Nothing is more important.
#3 – Pursue what you enjoy – Don’t worry if other people find you foolish. Look at all the people in the world who are eccentric—they are so happy! Follow your own path.
#2 – Follow your curiosity – Do what you feel drawn towards, almost like a compulsion. What you would do without money or reward.
#1 – Don’t try to win – Success is not the measure of life. Just do what you enjoy. Be happy.
