Plus and Minus of the American economy

Americans are striving to take risks with ambition. Economic insecurity for jobs is evident in the current scene. For most folks,income disparity involves material happiness in gaining goods and services. But if we dampen our desires,we can be happy indeed! In making comparisons, US ranks lower in happiness than Denmark, Ireland and Sweden but much higher than France, Germany and Italy. Folks cannot mandate euphoria as published by the Washington Post, July 11, 2007 n page A15. My comment: Mindset is very important for individuals. If we have positive attitude in all things,we can be happy mentally and spiritually. Such is my way of thinking for my daily living. Francis Shieh a.k.a. Xie Shihao on July 14, 2007 at 9.45 a.m.
