新加坡“最快樂(lè)的人”:快樂(lè)就在你身邊

Stressed-out Singapore named its happiest person on Thursday at a conference that aimed to make people in the city-state feel better.

Stressed-out Singapore named its happiest person on Thursday at a conference that aimed to make people in the city-state feel better.

Andy Goh, 35, the manager of a local engineering company, was named "Singapore's Happiest Person".

His secret?

"A lot of times, happiness is not just money and stuff, so you've got to count your blessings: health, family, friends, helping other people," Goh said after receiving 200 dollars (148 US) and a trip to the Thai resort island of Phuket.

The aptly named Philip Merry, chief executive of consulting firm Global Leadership Academy, began his search for Singapore's most cheery resident last month.

The winner was announced at the end of the two-day New Science of Happiness and Well-Being Conference, organised by Merry and his wife.

It seemed like a grim task after a poll by advertising firm Grey Group found that nine in 10 people living in the city-state, Southeast Asia's wealthiest economy, said they were stressed.

The contest called for written nominations, between 300 and 1,000 words, explaining why the candidate was a "model of happiness," Merry said. Nominees had to be 18 years or older.

A surprising 207 entries were received, Merry said.

"I literally thought when we launched... 'are we going to get anybody?' Not only did we get 207 stories but we've got such fantastic stories," he said.

"There is a lot of happy people that we just don't talk about or recognize."

Nominees were whittled down to four finalists including Zaibun Siraj, 61, a training consultant at a local polytechnic. She recently published her own book, "Zany, Zeal, Zest and Zing: The Z way to happiness."

In the end, Zaibun's zaniness could not top Goh's simple prescription for feeling good.

"Look not too far, as it's probably already close to you," the happiest man advised.

新加坡“最快樂(lè)的人”評(píng)選活動(dòng)結(jié)果于上周四在當(dāng)?shù)卣匍_(kāi)的一個(gè)研討會(huì)上揭曉。該會(huì)議的主要議題是如何讓壓力纏身的新加坡人更加快樂(lè)。

新加坡一家工程技術(shù)公司的經(jīng)理、35歲的安迪·高有幸被評(píng)為“新加坡最快樂(lè)的人”。

他的快樂(lè)秘訣是什么呢?

安迪說(shuō):“其實(shí)在很多時(shí)候,快樂(lè)并不只是金錢(qián)和物質(zhì),你應(yīng)該多想想你所擁有的東西,比如健康、家庭、朋友以及幫助他人?!?安迪獲得的獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)包括200新元(148美元)的獎(jiǎng)金以及到泰國(guó)普吉島旅游的機(jī)會(huì)。

于上月啟動(dòng)的“尋找新加坡最快樂(lè)的人”活動(dòng)由“全球領(lǐng)導(dǎo)學(xué)院”咨詢公司的首席執(zhí)行官菲力普·梅里發(fā)起,他的名字Merry和這個(gè)活動(dòng)倒是也很相稱(merry意為“快樂(lè)”。

評(píng)選結(jié)果在由梅里夫婦組織的、為期兩天的“快樂(lè)與幸福新科學(xué)研討會(huì)”結(jié)束時(shí)揭曉。

此前一項(xiàng)由格雷廣告集團(tuán)公司開(kāi)展的民調(diào)發(fā)現(xiàn),在這個(gè)東南亞最富裕的國(guó)家,有90%的人感到壓力很大。這也正是梅里組織召開(kāi)該研討會(huì)的原因。

梅里說(shuō):“參選者必須年滿18周歲,須提交一份300至1000字的書(shū)面提名材料,說(shuō)明其為何是‘快樂(lè)楷?!??!?/font>

梅里說(shuō),他們竟然收到了207份提名材料。

他說(shuō):“毫不夸張地說(shuō),我們剛發(fā)起這個(gè)活動(dòng)時(shí),我還擔(dān)心會(huì)不會(huì)有人參加。而現(xiàn)在看來(lái),我們不僅收到了207個(gè)快樂(lè)的故事,而且其中不少故事都很精彩?!?/font>

“其實(shí)快樂(lè)的人有很多,只是我們沒(méi)有在意或發(fā)現(xiàn)?!?/font>

經(jīng)過(guò)激烈的角逐,最終有4人挺進(jìn)決賽,其中包括當(dāng)?shù)匾患夜に噷W(xué)校的培訓(xùn)顧問(wèn)、61歲的老人賽卜?斯拉吉。她最近剛出版了自己的新書(shū)《幽默、熱情、樂(lè)趣和活力:快樂(lè)Z之路》。

但賽卜的“幽默”理念最終不敵安迪的簡(jiǎn)單快樂(lè)良方。

這位最快樂(lè)的人在傳授快樂(lè)秘訣時(shí)說(shuō):“其實(shí)快樂(lè)并不遙遠(yuǎn),它可能就在你身邊。”
