The happy ones actually enjoy the game. They like solving people problems, product problems, sales, macro shifts. They treat business like an endless puzzle that keeps their mind sharp. Money is an outcome, but they would keep playing even if they did not need more. When the game itself feels good, you do not feel as empty when you win.
