What will make you happy?
||
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?

i think visiting in toilet make your body comfortable , but it's not a happy, happy is a feeling ,maybe you find you perfect spouse, or a act make you feel happy.

- i think maybe when asking chinese,they will say something bigger that toilet.but when letting them choose to go to a toilet or the bigger thing,they will choose the first one.people just don't realise the importance of basic things until they need them.

- I wonder whether the question on the questionair was an open question or were there some options with the four activities listed among them. Because I would not think of going to toilet when it comes to happiness.

- Edelweiss: I wonder whether the question on the questionair was an open question or were there some options with the four activities listed among them. Because II didn't read the whole research, just the newspaper article, but i believe they used preselected options.

- In Chinese people's view, money should be on the first position because we are much of fear of poverty.
