Nixon paid off the debt, he ended the war in Vietnam, he did a lot of good (wrong on the gold stadard tho), and Watergate he knew nothing about until the investigation started. Then he made his only mistake...he authorized money to be spent to cover it up to protect his freinds that were guilty. His loyalty to his friends brought him down. But he was very smart and a great president.

Fuck Nixon. Better off being a bum than carpet bombing Cambodia. He knows that now.

@dr1345 I disagree. Why wouldn't it be true for everybody? Just because not everyone will become a president or a millionaire? I know rich people that are happy and I also know a lot of working class people that are happy and satisfied with their lifes. People need goals, realistic goals, to fulfill themselves. That's practically what he meant. Oh, by the way, Nixon wasn't rich at all and still became the president.

@leoamar4385896 That's true. If you born privileged hard work can make you happy and you become a president in the end. For the rest of us hard work is not gonna make us happy because we work shitty dead end jobs and end up with a hunch on our back. His words are true, but that truth is not the same for everybody.

According to the Positive Psychology research from Martin Seligman, there are three parts to happiness that we can call: the good life (maximizing pleasure), the life of engagement (people and activities), and the meaningful life (working towards goals, leaving legacies, etc.) Compare that with what Nixon says :D

I like to put it this way: A life without passion is an ozymoron.
