I haven't read the article yet, going there next, but I really like that last quote:

'“Find a happy person, and you will find a project.” - Sonja Lyubomirsky'

I think of people who often try to make an unhappy person their pet project. It would be an interesting twist to do the reverse. As a life-long pessimist I have made many happy people feel sad. Were these my projects?

Pessimists are people that default to expecting the worst outcome. I know happy pessimists and unhappy pessimists. People who have left a trail of many happy people feeling sad behind them are called assholes.

I understood that quote that if you find someone working on a project, they are happy.

A little off topic, but: Sonja Lyubomirsky's book on happiness is great. A friend gave it to me as a birthday gift a few years ago.

It´s better to test your idea if you have the optimal (or at least necessary) structure for that. I call it "company".
