That video is trying to convert me to a religion, or change my life philosophy, or something. It's telling me what life is about, what happiness is, and frankly I resent that. Not to be a grouch, but you are a company making a ticketing system that uses people's photos. You aren't the Buddha, or Jesus, or Socrates.

Since you brought up the subject, though, happiness is equanimity. It is the freedom from distress that agitation and unmet desire and unwanted pain causes. And that has absolutely nothing, nothing whatsoever, to do with your product.

Build stuff, get excited about it, try to sell it. That's good and right when you're in business. But don't overstep your bounds and start preaching.

FWIW, the biggest problem in ticketing is Ticketmaster's de facto monopoly - if you want to get people excited about ticketing, tell them that you have a plan to compete with Ticketmaster and won't be charging $15/ticket "service fees". (I mean, come on, $15/ticket? That might be acceptable if the tickets were calligraphy on parchment.)
