This will make you curious

The question ‘ What are your ambitions in life?’ is one that is frequently asked. A question that most give their answer as 'To be happy ‘. A recent survey conducted on 10,000 people hailing form 48 countries found its way to the pages of the perspectives on psychological science . The survey showed that this mass of people valued and wished for happiness as opposed to wisdom, maturity, success, intelligence and wealth.

True happiness is priceless. But true is the fact that focusing a lot on what we see as that which can make us happy makes us lose sight of that which can.

Nearly decade ago Alan Krueger, an economist, Laureate Daniel Kahneman ,who Is a Nobel prize winner and their colleagues published a paper by the name 'Are we having more fun yet? . They posed several questions through this paper . Questions such as; ‘Has the quality of our lives over the past ten years been changed by the myriad social, economical and technological advancements' and 'Have this advancements helped us improve our lives by helping us focus more about what we care about?’

Most of us would have answered this question no. A very large amount of the American population spends 20% of their time doing what they actually love to do. Instead they spend most of their time doing what they have to do example, working and performing house chores.

It really have to be like this. We should do that which makes us happy.
