幸福的要訣

Weve always been told its true, but now experts have proved that money really cant buy you happiness.

They quizzed jackpot winners and came up with 10 tips to keep you feeling on top of the world.

And the results were surprising. No flash cars of expensive jewellery. Instead it was the simple pleasures, available to almost anybody, that bring the most enjoyment.

Top of the list is spending time with your family.

But jackpot winners advice is: Dont give up work. Having a regular routine and social interaction are essential. Keeping up friendships is important too, as is a stable marriage.

Buying your own home, preferably in the North where people are friendlier, is a good idea. But dont get into debt.

No matter how much money you have, living within your means is vital if you want to avoid stress.

Dr Richard Tunney, of Nottingham University said: “The old saying‘money cant buy you happiness may not be true, but traditional family values, a comfortable home and financial security are clearly key elements to a happy life.”

我們總是被告知金錢不能買到幸福,如今專家們已經(jīng)證實(shí)了確實(shí)如此。

他們測(cè)試了賭橋牌的贏家,并拿出10美元的小費(fèi)讓你有一種普天之下,舍我其誰(shuí)的感覺。

測(cè)試結(jié)果讓人大吃一驚。不是鑲有昂貴珠寶的金光閃閃的汽車,而是每個(gè)讓人都能感受到的簡(jiǎn)單愉悅給我們帶來(lái)最大的幸福感。

最重要的獲得與家人在一起。

然而橋牌贏家的建議是：不要放棄工作。規(guī)律的日常工作和社會(huì)交往是必需的。就像穩(wěn)定的婚姻一樣，維持友誼也是同樣重要的。

在人們都很友好的北部買一個(gè)你自己的房子，是一個(gè)不錯(cuò)的主意。不過不要負(fù)債。

不論你有多少錢，最重要的是以你自己的方式生活，這樣可以消除壓力。

諾丁漢大學(xué)的理查德?唐尼博士說：俗話說的‘金錢不能為你買到幸福也許不對(duì)，但是傳統(tǒng)的家庭價(jià)值、一個(gè)舒適的家和可靠的經(jīng)濟(jì)確是幸福生活的關(guān)鍵要素。
