Huh? *Gets big confused eyes* I'm glad finding happiness is so easy! I'm just a bit lost here, Sir. Have you posted some sort of delightful picture?

Sorry, it's not a very good answer to the secret for those with visual impairments.  Yes, it is just a big image of a process diagram that won an award for best informational graphics.  

It is a big green rectangle with a big orange circle at the top.  In the circle is the question "Is Life Good?"  There is a set of arrows coming out of the bottom of the circle pointing to the answers "Yes" or "No".  If you answer yes, the arrow points to a smaller circle that simply says "Good."  If you answer no, the arrow points to a different circle that says "Change Something" and has another arrow from that circle which points back to the big circle at the top.

So, the secret to happiness is: if you are already happy, great.  If not, keep changing things until you are.  :)

It's a cute, simple graphic.  But as someone who does process diagrams a lot in my job, it's a rather poorly and improperly done flow chart.  :moose:

Hmmmmm ...... as a theory it kind of needs tweaking:

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And wisdom to know the difference.

 :gww:  :D

Well then! Now I'm caught up. I think I would understand that diagram had I seen it. I think it's fine the way it is.

I always thought change was the loose coins I carry around in my pockets.

Oh, uh . . . wait.  I don't have any pockets . . .   Maybe that's why I Grumpy says I'll never change.
