Based on a study in 40 countries over 23 years, a group of researchers found that if the basic needs are covered, wealth does not lead to more happiness. They explained that with an increasing income, demands and expectations are rising as well.
In Germany, for example, real income rose from 20, 000 euros in the 1980s to today's 34,000 euros, without an exact rise on happiness. My mother was born in the 1950s. She worked in a factory for more than 20 years without annual holidays for an income of 1, 500 yuan per month. 11 It’s unthinkable today for most of the young people in China.

Look for the positive in all your experiences. It works like an echo：you get back what you send. 15 There’s always something we can worry about, but with the positive attitude “I will make it” you have made the first step.
