Happiest Person In The Whole USA...


Gallup says that, statistically speaking, they found the happiest person in the USA!

He's Alvin Wong, pictured here with his wife, Trudy. I know that this sounds like something that you might read in The Onion, but Mr. Wong is 65 years old, is a Chinese-American, lives in Hawaii and is Jewish, stands 5ft 10in, and earns $120,000 a year running his own health company business.(...)
Gallup ran a three year study in search of Mr. Wong. He scored "off the charts" on questions about emotional status, job satisfaction, diet, health, stress levels and other indicators.

Gallup's findings followed other research that showed that happiness begins at 50 . A study from Stony Brook University, New York, found that stress, anger and worry fade after the half century mark. Women were also reported to suffer greater stress, worry and sadness at all ages.

I could have saved these guys a lot of time and money. It's been my experience that people are happiest when they are financially comfortable, in good health, have easy access to delicious food, and an affectionate spouse.
