I was browsing through the Yahoo Singapore website when I chanced on Natalie Hong's article "Can You Be Happy for 100 Days In a Row?" at http://sg.news.yahoo.com/happy-100-days-row-063058466.html.
In this article, she had specifically mentioned that Singapore had the least number of happy people and that Singaporeans were the unhappiest employees in Asia. Reference was also made to the "100 Happy Days Challenge" at website http://100happydays.com/ with the objective of getting people to find the things in life that made them happy.
The challenge aims for the user to better appreciate the little things in life and start actively noticing things that make them happy, instead of unhappy. The creators of the website feel that the increased speed of life has impacted people today in a way that “there is less and less time to enjoy the moment that you are in”. They add: “The ability to appreciate the moment, the environment and yourself in it, is the base for the bridge towards long term happiness of any human being.”
According to the website creators, “71% of people tried to complete this challenge, but failed quoting lack of time as the main reason. These people simply did not have time to be happy. Do you?”
Well, as far as I am concerned, to be happy or unhappy is a personal choice. If you choose to be happy, you will find happiness somehow. Do you agree?
