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.

There had been another damage report submitted by DHL Japan as well. I am afraid that your employees always say lies. Cindy and Barrett
