&ldquo;When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down &lsquo;happy&rsquo;. They told me I didn&rsquo;t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn&rsquo;t understand life.&rdquo; <br /> ― John Lennon
