20) Being happy is something you have to learn. I often surprise myself by saying "Wow, this is it. I guess I'm happy. I got a home l love. A career that l love. I'm even feeling more and more at peace with myself." If there's something else to happiness, let me know. I'm ambitious for that, too.
- Harrison Ford
