Happy people are successful, not the other way around.
Well duh!
It takes a Highlander to do the hard work and research to put together all the other studies that teased around this conclusion without ever saying it.
Success flows from confidence and confidence flows from happiness.
Optimism need not be blind, though. And though some people joked that happiness was a mental disorder(pdf at link) (it took some time for people to get the joke though, some modest proposals get taken more seriously than others) it's a good one to have.
So since I like quoting song lyrics you'd think I'd invoke that Bobby McFerrin chestnut, but don't worry, I wouldn't do that to you (just be happy)
(Are you whistling that tune yet? You know you want to)
(and the Marilyn picture was one of the top images returned from a google image search on the word happy, and that picture of her does make me happy, somewhat ironic to post a picture of a famous probable manic depressive (or bi-polar disorder) when speaking of the importance of happiness, but she sure does have a beautiful smile)
