As i am sitting down having my quiet time at one of the most popular shopping malls in the east side, i can’t help but to wonder are Singaporeans happy with themselves?

The looks on everyone’s face tell me that they are stressed, tired, moody, upset, angry & bored etc. If you don’t believe, next time when you sit around at coffee bean and spend 5 minutes looking at their faces. It can be quite interesting. Well of course there are people who look happy but they are the minority.

These actually brings me to think what makes people happy? I reckon that the answer will be it depends on how much a person loves themselves.  Why do i say so? I have clients who spend money like there is no tomorrow and will do whatever they can to spend to make them happy. they buy nice clothes, clubbed or dine at nice restaurants. They don’t seem to be bothered even when they have no money at month end. These people are what i called ‘Surface happy people’ Because i feel that in the future, they may be super sad because they see nothing in their bank account.

Second group of clients are those who have problems meeting ends meet. Their meager salary can’t even pays them well for a good meal with family or even buy insurance for themselves let alone family members. These people are seldom happy as they are always concerned if they have enough money to eat for the month. What can makes them happy is either they strike a lottery or they have very good family ties which makes them feel loved.

In my opinion, the last group of clients are those who doesn’t spend much and lead a simple life but are very happy to see their ‘golden pig’ in banks are growing. I think they are the most happy person because they can afford to love themselves more either now or in the future. They are very contented with their simple life and they love it.

So i guess the end of the day, we need to find ways how we can love ourselves more. Be it buying more nice clothes, most advanced HP or gadgets or  even save more money, as long as you are happy doing it then it means you have already starting to love yourself.
