Here I have two quotes that both start with the same part of a sentence. They then go in completely different directions.
And so I have a challenge for you!
- Challenge question: Which quote is the original quote, #1 or #2?
- “Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be”
- “Most folks are about as happy as they can fake.”
- Bonus question: Who said the original quote? And yes, it’s the honor system for you to not look it up.
- Personal question: Which one do you think is more accurate and why?
Let me know your answers in the comments!

I want to say first quote.
Hi Divina, Turns out it is the 3rd quote that I was thinking of. But I think all 4 really do fit pretty well.
