Stephen was shocked after hearing that, and asked,' Mm... Mr... You live somewhere nearby, right? Have you been to Wonderland before? Aren't you curious about this place?'

Old man replied,' Ha..ha.. Why do I need to go there? Am I not successful right now? Although I am not a millionaire, every morning, I wake up, I play with my granddaughters.

Think about it, not many successful people have that sort of life. This is what I called 'success'.'
