What will make you happy?

1489 views. 2010-6-6 20:43 |Individual Classification:Short ones|

Last year, a company did research on the question: What would make you happy? A questioner was filled out by thousand people living in The Netherlands. Being a Dutchman myself, I was astonished by the result. Sex ended on the fourth position. On the third position ended being in the nature and on the second position a good conversation. Surprisingly enough, the first position was hold by “visiting the toilet”. 88 percent of the people stated that this activity that made them happy the most.

Do I live in a weird country or will a research in China have the same outcome? In other words, what activity will make you happy?

in my opinion, may be at this development stage of China , many poeple would hold that owning their house and being settled would make them happy. many people are pursuing to have their houses and cars.

Are they very comfortable as a five-star hotel?  I know the public fundamental facilities in Europe are perfect. Your index of living is much higher than Chinese. We should learn from you!

In my opinion, such happineses can stand top because they're simple, pure and so easy to be spoken out. Deep weals and woes differ in heart from person to person and then hard to express clearly.

The answer is crazy and I'm stunned. What can make me happy? Up to now I still don't have any idea. Maybe steer clear of the boring things and have a good sleep is the best answer now.
PS: A few days ago, I visited the expo in Shanghai, I like the pavilion of the Netherlands. Yep, the dessert is very delicious and I also bought some souvenirs
