Some people are always looking for things to make them happy, but others, instead of waiting around, make happiness. Understand?

it means that a foolish man thinks that the only way to be happy is to run away from his problems while the wise man would sort out his problems right then and there, as happiness is not really located in some places but every where ,the trick is to know how to make it work for you after it has been found.

The foolish man looks for something else that will make him happy, but the wise man finds joy in what he has.

The wise man sees that the meaning self-evident, growing under his feet if you will, while the fool seeks meaning across the world wide web.

it means people seek happiness from material possessions for example, and by that, wealth is always within a reach
the wise man grows happiness from wisdom, without the desire of wealth, you dont need money to be happy, cause money doesnt buy happiness most of the time
take this as an example

It means that if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence it's usually Astra turf. The wise man knows that you can only be happy in the moment and make the most of each day/moment.

People often think that happiness lies in material things such as money,cars and big houses but true happiness lies in things that are right under your nose like family,friends,nature and most important of all love.I'm 16 so this is my point of view and the situation in my country(Croatia) is that there are four times more Croats in the world than in our country itself-many of them come back to Croatia realizing that everything they ever needed is right here.I hope I've been of some help to you.

Looking for happiness elsewhere instead of creating it within ones self.

why search for one's happiness, it's just around you...
also:
why seek for greener pastures somewhere else, when within your surrounding there is work to be done, and gold to claim.

If you try living totally in the tomorrow, you will miss the joys of today
