Some people believe they can achieve happiness by adding educational degrees, or wealth, or a large home, or any one of a number of things that are not in themselves bad - but by themselves they do not provide happiness. You want certain basics - enough food, a place to live, clean clothes - but adding beyond those basics will not give you happiness.
Happiness is achieved through subtraction, not addition: You take from yourself to give to others.
Like at Christamas, when you discovered that you got more pleasure out of giving than receiving gifts.
