Happy is entirely up to you and always has been.
Give users what they actually want, not what they say they want. And whatever you do, don't give them new features just because your competitors have them!
Upgrade your user, not your product. Value is less about the stuff and more about the stuff the stuff enables. Don't build better cameras - build better photographers.
The secret to building great products is not creating awesome features, it's to make your users awesome.
In many cases, the more you try to compete, the less competitive you actually are.
It does not matter how awesome your product is or your presentation or your post. Your awesome thing matters ONLY to the extent that it serves the user's ability to be a little more awesome.
Make the right things easy and the wrong things hard to do.

You wanted it to blow your whole day. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of books were duds. They had been rusting out of everyone’s way for so long that they no longer worked. There was no way to distinguish the duds from the live mines except to throw yourself at them headlong, one by one.

Education. . . has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
If I can use my platform to affect change in gender, as I can in race, then I think I can have an impact.
