He asked Eduardo what made him happy in life. Eduardo reflected for a moment and said, ‘Seeing my family happy, knowing that my children won’t want for anything.’ Eduardo’s children were grown up, and he hoped to send them to study in the big country that had more psychiatrists than anywhere else in the world.

Hector asked him whether it bothered him to know that other families might be very unhappy because their children took the harmful stimulant Eduardo made (because, of course, you, like Hector, have worked it out by now). This time Eduardo answered straight away. ‘If they take it, it’s because their family’s already messed up. Their parents don’t look after them properly, all they think about is making money, or getting laid. It’s normal for kids to go off the rails!’

Lesson no. 9: Happiness is knowing your family lacks for nothing.

Lesson no. 10: Happiness is doing a job you love.
