The Personal History Of David Copperfield

BY CHARLES DICKENS. 1850

Charles Dickens provides many lessons to be happy, successful, and fulfilled while experiencing life.

Here is a 47-word quote from his book that teaches readers how to be happy.

"I remember, to take warning by his fate; and to observe that if a man had twenty pounds a year for his income and spent nineteen pounds nineteen shillings, and sixpence, he would be happy, but that if he spent twenty pounds one he would be miserable."

I condensed the 47-word passage into 7 words.

“Be Happy — Spend Less Than You Make”

“Be Healthy — Eat Less Than You Want”

“Be Wise — Read More Than You Can”

The quotes I made can be written on scraps of paper and displayed at a location near you.
