A businessman with a rather prosperous material life always compares himself with others. He doesn't allow himself to have anything inferior to others. He managed to achieve this and became the top - notch figure in his social circle. However, there was not a shred of happiness in his heart. In order to find his own happiness, he decided to go on a trip.
One day, he came to a very remote village. It was relatively isolated, and people there lived a simple life. But he found that the villagers were extremely happy. Every evening, after dinner, people would light a bonfire on an open ground. The musicians would play their beloved musical instruments, and men and women, old and young, would dance and sing together, spreading laughter and joy throughout every corner of the village. From their expressions, one could see nothing but happiness and not a trace of sorrow. The businessman wondered what on earth gave them the reason to be so happy.
One evening, during a break in the villagers' dance, the businessman struck up a conversation with an elderly musician. He asked the musician, "Why are you always so happy?" The old musician didn't answer immediately. Instead, he picked up his instrument and played a piece of music. Then he said to the businessman, "Young man, start dancing to the tune in your own heart and don't be influenced by me. I'm sure you'll find the answer." So, the businessman really started to dance without being affected by the music at all. Although he danced so hard that he was exhausted, strangely enough, after the dance, he felt very relaxed and comfortable, a kind of happiness he had never experienced before. And at the moment when he calmed down, a sudden flash of inspiration hit him. He finally understood that the real secret to happiness is to dance to your own tune.
