Are you happy?

According to a recent survey, we ranked LAST in Asia in terms of happiness. The first is Vietnam.

I was shocked but not surprised by the result. I didn't expect Singapore to be ranked last in survey result but since it's a "happiness survey", I'm not surprised.

Are you happy? Are we happy? At least we are not very sad to be ranked last. It might be due the the excessive work load we are having. Stress. We need to stress about almost everything in life. Work or school, there's stress. Everyone has stress, how to be happy? We can't even enjoy the simple thing in life such as taking a stroll at the reservoir in the morning or enjoying the moonlight at night. In the morning, we would be too busy to rush off to our work. At night, we will be in our bed trying to sleep with all the troubles and stress in our mind. Maybe that makes us unhappy.

Vietnamnese are the happiest group of people in Asia according the survey. Maybe it's because they are leading a simpler life than us. They need not worry about too much thing. No wonder people says "a simple life is a happy life". But how can we lead a "simple life"? We are Singaporeans. If we are leading a too simple life, our future may just be ruined.

How many of us are really happy? It's not easy to say that we are happy.
