コロンブスが幸福であったのは、彼がアメリカを発見した時ではなく、 それを発見しつつあった時である。 幸福とは生活の絶え間なき永遠の探求にあるのであって、断じて発見にあるのではない。

Translated by ausgc
Columbus was not happy when he had discovered Americas, but rather when he was just about to discover it.
Happiness [exists in/lies on] the contineous endeavour, certainly not [in/on] the discovery.

[exists in]を使うなら、「～の中に存在する」となり、その行為そのものにという意味合いになると思います。
それに対して、[lies on]を使うなら、「～の上に横たわる」となり、その行為が幸せを運ぶ未来へのレールだというようなニュアンスになるかと。

Regarding your question, this change is due to the revision of A cost by year. Because the system could not set the A cost where it should be, we set it as an expense item that can be adjusted by year instead. I wil...

I have suffered a loss of $4,000 because of your employees. It is clear that the goods were damaged as a result of terrible packaging. I have already submitted a damage report along with photos. There had been another damage report submitted by DHL Japan as well. I am afraid that your employees always say lies. Cindy and Barrett
