What makes you happy?

In 1970s, there was a research conducted to follow up on people who won the lottery

A year later, they interview these lucky people again to ask how they feel

It was reported that they were no happier than those people who didn't win the lottery

Researcher then refer this phenomena as 'hedonic adaptation', which implies that everyone (be it you or me) has a baseline of happiness

In short, it means that we experience happiness as temporary moment of joy

I don't know if I should be glad of human's ability in adaptation -___-

But I believe that there's no harm to keep in mind those wonderful things that happened to you

Before you took things for granted and realised how lucky you are X)

So I'm making a list for myself

To constantly remind me how fortunate I am

And be thankful in life :D

#1: To have 2 great people whom I can depend on

#2: To have a big family in school

#3: When I was finally able to the play the first song with my instrument (More like Negaraku of hell)

#4: To be accepted into Med School

#5: To know more brothers and sisters through God

#6: Discover the passion towards photography

#7: To have a pair of strong legs that enable me to explore around

#8: My first attempt in video making

#9: Pass EOS 5 and proceed to Clinical School

#10: Development of a first human character

#11: Holidays after a tiring posting

#12: To have the opportunity to travel around and savour all the mouth-watering goodies
