What do you hope will change about the world in the future?

Before we begin, I would like to answer this question myself. Which do you think is more important: mental or physical? Most people desire physical things, like a car, house, jewelry, or luxury bags. These things can bring happiness, but is that happiness long-term? Is that happiness long-lasting?

Let’s talk about happiness. Where does your happiness come from? At first, buying a new car may make you feel happy because it gives you a sense of achievement. But what happens after a week, a month, a year? Does that happiness last? The answer is no. Can that happiness last forever? No. Why? Because if your happiness comes from external things, it is temporary. That’s why we need to find a way to create long-lasting happiness — happiness that comes from within.

I want to show you the secret to achieving long-term happiness. The secret is to focus on your mental state. What is mental? It may seem abstract or difficult to understand, but it is very close to you. You just need to be grateful, to love, and to trust yourself. When you do this, you can do anything, and you will easily feel happier.

For example: You will go to a restaurant after class. Even if it is a free meal in school, you can be thankful for everything — for the farm, for the food, and for God, even you can thank the school and every school employee. This is a mental gift, and it strengthens your happiness.

What do you hope will not?

I hope the pursuit of knowledge never changes. Fields like science and philosophy seek truth and fundamental principles that help the world grow. This innate curiosity — the desire to understand and improve — should always exist. It drives progress, helps humanity grow, and ensures that people have the opportunity to create a better world. This unchanging pursuit of knowledge is what I believe must remain.

Conclusion

In life, people are always chasing material things, like dopamine, nutrients, and satisfaction. The challenge is finding balance in an age of indulgence — living in a world of temporary pleasure. If you are wise, you will break free from physical desires and find happiness from within. If you understand these secrets, you will be able to keep your happiness for a long time.
