When thinking about a project or developing and observing a product, queries can emerge regarding what compels us to investigate, to seek the true, to query about the very essence of research and to inquire our reasons for investigate, for the interests it arises and for the expected results. However, beyond technical, scientific or methodological findings, we find some answers determined by the humane being sensibility of the researcher, that are related to what is agreeable and pleasant. In the research activity, efforts, interests and personal views are geared to achieve a team work, as the dwarves of the fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarves," where each of them performs a specific task and the sum of all tasks produces a collective work that, in turn, fosters and promotes a goal achievement. Once the difficulties are overcome in the complex road of research, there is the opportunity of enjoying the achieved goal, the pleasure, the happiness, while understanding the diverse ways of interpreting and approaching to reality. Research has to be approached with pleasure, happiness and enthusiasm. That is the commitment and aim: the pursuit of happiness.

Keywords : Investigation; happiness; pleasure; team work; road; abstacles; reality; science; art; aesthetics.
