How To Have All Your Wishes Come True

You’ve probably heard of the age-old story about Aladdin, who picks up a lamp and dusts it off and out pops Genie. The Genie always says, “Your wish is my command.” If you’re like me, you’ve probably dreamt about what you’d have wished for if you were to find that Genie. Life would be a lot more easier then.

The world doesn’t pay you for what you know; it pays you for what you do.

Here’s the real meaning of: Satisfaction
