Writing Prompt 1: Franklin D. Roosevelt Quote

"Happiness lies in the joy of achievement and the thrill of creative effort." ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt

   I partially agree with this quote.  I do believe achievement and creativity can bring happiness; however, happiness can also be reached through the process before achievement.  While completing a goal is always exciting, working towards your goal can be fun too.  For example, if you are painting a picture wouldn't you enjoy the painting you are doing before the picture is done.  Sure, in the end you will have a beautiful picture, but, painting the picture is exciting as well.  While over coming an obstacle is reason for happiness, often the obstacle itself can cause joy.  It can be exhilarating to put the pieces together and watch things fall into place.
