So many of us work long, hard hours to
provide for our families and children-often long hours away from home, maybe
taking on extra jobs at times or hoping to get a raise in an effort to make our
lives richer financially–working harder at the expense of sleeping and taking
good care of ourselves in order to have extra money. It seems so many of us
just aren’t content with what we have now. But is there a point at which
striving to earn or acquire extra money can be counterproductive? Or, in other
words, when having extra money just doesn’t make us “happy” anymore?
In a recent column in the the Sunday Review
of the New York Times, Elizabeth Dunn and Michael Norton attempt to answer this
question and by doing so create a perfect opportunity for us to reflect about
the limitations of how the desire to accumulate money can ultimately affect our
happiness.
There certainly is a relationship between
your salary and happiness; people who earn a good living are often happier than
people who live in poverty. Having extra money can certainly enhance our lives
by providing extra food, objects and creature comforts in our homes.
But the irony is that earning additional
income will actually not lead to extra happiness, once you have already
attained a “comfortable standard” where you have what you need to function and
be content. The “comfortable standard” can be quite variable based on the city,
state or country you live in. Here in the US, according to Dunn and Norton, the
standard falls around $75,000. Researchers at Princeton examined Gallup poll
data from nearly 500,000 US households and found that higher family incomes
were related to better moods on a day to day basis. However, the positive
effects of money had no effect on people’s happiness and moods after a level of
$ 75,000.00 was attained.

Changchi affiliate busted for putting false labels on 11 alcohol products
By Joy Lee ,The China Post
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The contents of 11 out of
12 alcohol products manufactured by Ta Lien Alcohol Company (大聯製酒工業公司), an affiliate of Tatung
Changchi Foodstuff Factory Co. (大統長基食品), were found not to match the ingrediants listed on their labels,
the Changhua Government's Department of Finance (DOF) announced yesterday.
The DOF fined Ta Lien Alcohol Company
NT$5.5 million for dishonest labeling of the 11 alcohol products.
Chen Min-jui of the DOF said that Ta Lien
reported to officials that the 11 alcohol products all fell under the category
of distilled alcohol.
“However,
among the 12 alcohol products inspected at this time, only the ingredients of
the ginseng alcohol comply with standards on distilled alcohol, while the other
11 alcohol products, including wine and rice wine, are mixtures of edible
alcohol, glutinous rice-wine flavoring, and juices,” said Chen.

Paparazzi is sad reality of press freedom, but not true problem (The China Post)
Local media reported yesterday that French
director Luc Besson is mulling whether to cut short his filming of “Lucy,” an
action thriller starring Scarlett Johansson, in Taipei because of intrusions by
paparazzi, including their hounding of Besson, his cast and crew during the
filming process and their shooting footage of Besson's team working on various
scenes.
Frequent readers of this column, in which
The China Post's editorial board has on numerous occasions criticized the low
quality of local news reports, might expect another tirade on Taiwan's
Chinese-language media. In this instance, however, closer scrutiny is needed to
put Taiwanese paparazzi “intrusions” in context.
According to the media reports, Besson was
frustrated in part because repeated “malicious provocations and clashing” by
and with paparazzi caused “serious delays in the filming process.” Yet several
days ago, the media reported that Scarlett Johansson, the leading star of the
movie, was seen shopping on Yongkang Street and in Taipei's East District
because filming was ahead of schedule.
