Our world is getting smaller and smaller, and today we can accomplish things that just a hundred years ago people would have thought to have been nearly impossible.
I don't want to be famous, or rich, or put down in history that will live on forever in books. In fact, I don't want many things at all. I just want to do the things I love doing and be with the people I love being with for the rest of my life. But while I'm here, I also want to make a difference in the world. Whether that difference will affect just one person or millions of people, I want to leave a mark that is worthwhile, something that I can look back on with a proud smile.
I want to make the world...
A little brighter,
A little happier,
A little more peaceful,
A little more colorful,
A little less complicated,
A little less twisted,
A little more open minded,
A little more creative,
And a little more magical.
I will put my heart and soul in my work, I will show the world the wonderland that every child eventually leaves behind. Everyone has to adapt to survive in this cruel world, and as we're shaped by the values and expectations of our society, we become blind to happiness, the kind of happiness that is in its purest and simplest form. Children can be happy just for the sake of being happy, and that's why their laughter is the most beautiful. I hope I can remind people of this innocent joy, convince them to slow down to take a good look around and enjoy life instead of rushing through it to get to wealth and success. We only have one life to live, and we must make the best out of it by making it our own adventure instead of following the crowd on the road that others have paved.

So well written. It sounds like a poem.
I agree with your point that happiness is a valuable thing and the best way to let people remain happy is to let them slow down and enjoy their life.
That is exactly what "time and money" caused.
