Nassim Nicholas Taleb Quote

As a matter of fact, your happiness depends far more on the number of instances of positive feelings, what psychologists call positive affect, than on their intensity when they hit. In other words, good news is good news first; how good matters rather little. So to have a pleasant life you should spread these small affects across time as evenly as possible. Plenty of mildly good news is preferable to one single lump of great news.
