19.Poor people need enough food to feed themselves but what happens when people suddenly become very rich?This is the case in China right now where people have become much better off,but can only have one child.The result is an army of"little emperors":fat,spoiled children.A child measures(衡量) happiness in love,not food,and there's nothing good about overfeeding a child.
Richard Layard,director of the London School of Economics,says,"The six key factors(因素) now scientifically established to affect(影响) happiness most are:mental health,satisfying and secure(安定的) work,a secure and loving private life,a safe community,freedom,and moral values"It is quite interesting that only one of these has to do with making money.People who realize this think that it is better to be paid in something other than money,for example,time.
