Be Happy With What You Have

So many people are unhappy because they value what other people have in life. However, they tend to overlook the wonderful things they have in their life.

It reminds me of the movie "Count of Monte Cristo" where Edmond was so happy with getting a whistle on his birthday, but Fernand, Edmond's best friend, was jealous even though Fernand had so much more than Edmond.

Edmond was happy and enjoyed his whistle, but Fernand was jealous of his happiness - not that he wanted the whistle - because he did not know how to appreciate what he had.
