you don’t meed millions to be happy.In fact,at The Happiness Institute in Australia,a couple of hundred dollars may be enough.

The institute opened its door last year,and since then men and women of all ages have been paying$200an hour for lessons on how to feel great“You can increase your happiness levels.That’s what we teach!”said Tony sharp,founder of the institute.

Experts say that only15percent of happiness comes from income,assets and other financial fautors.as much as85percent comes from things such as attitude,life control and relationships.,Most of us are much better off financially than our parents and grandparents but hapiness levels haven’t improved.

Studies show that one the basic meeds of shelter and food are met,additional wealth adds very;little to happiness.

Behavioral economists now say part of the reason we compare ourselves to people better off materially.

“If you want to be happier there is a very simple thing you can do-just compare Yourself to those with a smaller house or a bad second-hand car”.said sharp.

The institute aims to show You how to overcome the unhappiness by focusing on you bank account.said,“It I compare myself to Bill Cates,I’m always going to be down.”

In fact you’d better compare compare yourself with kerry Packer,transplant and heart surgery in recent years.

Is early childhood education really necessary?Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develope the child’s physical and social development,Early childhood education has become a concern of the government,who pishes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.

There are good reasons for the government to do so studies have shown that orphaned children who didies have shown that orphaned children who didn’t receive good care become developmentally delayed,which may cause faihcre in school and even in life.Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head start programs are more prepared for school,less likely to end up in Special Education classes and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.

There are also negative parts to put a child in formal education programs too early,Time Magazine online explains that“the longer the child,the less his chances if catching up with first-grade work”

I have personally witnessed many children who went to Head start programs became frustrated and bored.with school before they finished high school.Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years,studies also show that this head start is really a false start,as the gains are lost in high school years.It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education.Head start programs have not gap in poor and rich children.Perhaps it os time to find other wany to close the gap.

A、孤儿的

B、残疾的
