happiness

a few days ago i watched the tv show 20/20 & they showed an interesting piece on the subject of happiness. a psych professor wrote a book which states that 50% of our happiness is genetic, 10% is shaped by our life-circumstances, & 40% is in our control (attitude, approach to life, etc).

i think gideon will inherit a lot of happy-genes, because suhee & her family are some of the happiest people i know, esp her dad.

i'd think heavier % would come from life circumstances...

my new camera's arriving today! daniel and michelle bought my d80, along with my 50mm 1.8. it was sad to see it go from my hands

it seems that happiness for jonathan comes through the cold partially metallic "barrel" of a Canon. And maybe also some more happiness from the crater that the Canon left in his bank account =D

jonathan, i don't talk to traitors. yuhung, you should start a blog & share more of your thoughts.

One's loss is one's gain; jonathan's betrayal for a Canonite opened doors for me to become a Nikonite...
Hello P Joe!
