On Happiness: The Story of Two Cats
By Rajesh Setty on Thu 05 Apr 2007, 8:11 PM - 2 Comments
You might have already read about Neerja Raman from Invincibelle. This is a story from her latest book “The Practice and Philosophy of Decision Making”
A big cat saw a little cat chasing its tail and asked, “Why are you chasing your tail?”
Said the kitten, “I have learned that the best thing for a cat is happiness and that happiness is in my tail. Therefore I am chasing it and when I catch it, I shall have happiness.”
Said the old cat, “My child, I too have paid attention to the problems of the universe. I too have judged that happiness is in my tail. But I have noticed that whenever I chase it, it runs away from me and when I go about my business, it just seems to come after me wherever I go.”
You got to love what you do. Here is a short audio related to that topic:

Rajesh, thanks for sharing the quote. Based on your article, I’ve purchased the book and this quote is just brilliant. I’m also going to post about it.
