The Gallup Institution: Vietnamese are among the top 5 happiest people in the world.

19/1/16
According to the result of the Gallup institution (the USA), Vietnam is at the top 5 happiest countries in the world in 2015.
The survey, published on December 31, was conducted on 66.040 residents of 68 countries from September to December 2015, by asking them to answer the question: “Are you very happy, happy, not happy and not unhappy, unhappy and very unhappy with your life?” They are also asked about their optimism to their country’s economic perspective?
As the result, 87% Colombian are very happy with their life, meanwhile there are just 2% answered very unhappy. Therefore, Colombians have the ultimate happiness index of 85%, higher than the global average index 20 points and double the index of the American - the world wealthiest country.
With the ultimate happiness index of 80%, Vietnam was ranked at 5th position in the world happiness report, followed by Argentina, Panama, Mexico, Ecuador and China. About the country’s economic perspective in 2016, Vietnamese are at 4th position on the list of the top most optimistic countries, following Nigeria, Bangladesh and China.
Besides Colombia, there are countries that have the ultimate happiness index higher than Vietnam including Fiji, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan. Iraq has the second consecutive year at the lowest position of the ultimate happiness index, 12%.
According to the survey, in the world, 66% people are living happily, that is lower 4% than ones in the last year.
So why do these countries can live happily?
Columbia: Outdoor activities
Bordering with the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, Colombia possesses the world most beautiful beaches. And Colombians have time to enjoy the beautiful nature. With 18 days officially off during holidays and 15 days off from work in a year, that is double than ones in the USA, Colombians spend much of their time for enjoy the nature, therefore they can balance their life.
Fiji: Small house, crowded people
With the temperate climate (averagely 25-26 degree Celsius), Fijians live harmoniously in multigenerational families. The family respecting is the traditional culture of Fijians; nursing house is something that cannot be heard in Fiji. If the loneliness leads to depression, illness and even death, Fijians are not affected.
Azerbaijan: Creativeness is secret if life
In this small country, drawing, sculpture, singing, dancing, writing poem… and other art forms are always the movements. The Azerbaijan people consider the art forms not only the ways to show themselves, to reduce stress but also help them to harmonize and connect with the community.
Vietnam: generosity and the socio-political stability
The average income of Vietnamese people is just about 10% of the American’s one, but the happiness of Vietnamese is to share what they have. Vietnam is one of the most generous countries in the world, the place that people are always willing to help relatives, friends and even foreign visitors. There is a scientific study which has ever demonstrated that helping the others is one of the fastest ways to enhance the feeling of happiness.
Vietnamese are living in a country that is peaceful and active, so they’re having big belief in the development of the country and their Government, under the leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam. This why Vietnamese are always one of the most happiest people in the word though coping with the same difficulties and unpredictable, complicated movements in the world as other countries did./.
