UMike Viking ungumqondisi we-International Happiness Research Center e-Copenhagen kanye nombhali we-Hygge. Imfihlo yenjabulo yaseDenmark ":
“I-Lykke isho injabulo. Futhi injabulo ngomqondo ogcwele wegama. Thina eSikhungweni Sokucwaninga Ngenjabulo sesifinyelele esiphethweni sokuthi iLykke yilokho abantu abacabanga ukuthi bajabule ngokuphelele ababhekisela kukho. Abantu bayangibuza ukuthi ngake ngazizwa yini uLykke empilweni yami? Futhi impendulo yami ithi: yebo, izikhathi eziningi (yingakho nginqume ukubhala incwadi yonke ngakho). Isibonelo, ukuthola ucezu lwe-pizza efrijini ngemuva kosuku lokushushuluza nabangani yi-Lykke. Cishe nawe uyawazi lo muzwa.
I-Copenhagen iyindawo e-Lykke kakhulu emhlabeni. Lapha wonke umuntu uphuma emahhovisi ngehora lesihlanu kusihlwa, agibele emabhayisikili abo futhi agibele ekhaya ukuze achithe ubusuku nomndeni. Bese benza okuthile okunomusa kumakhelwane noma kumuntu nje ongamazi, bese kuthi ekupheleni kokuhlwa bakhanyise amakhandlela bahlale phambi kwesikrini ukuze babukele isiqephu esisha sochungechunge abaluthandayo. Iphelele, akunjalo? Kodwa ucwaningo lwami olunzulu njengoMqondisi Omkhulu we-International Centre for Research on Happiness (inani eliphelele labasebenzi: oyedwa) liye labonisa ukuthi abantu abavela kwezinye izingxenye zomhlaba nabo bajabule. Futhi ukuze ujabule, akudingekile ukuba nebhayisikili, amakhandlela noma ukuhlala eScandinavia. Kule ncwadi, ngabelana ngokutholwa okujabulisayo engikwenzile okungakwenza ube no-Lykke. Ngiyavuma ukuthi mina ngokwami angihlali ngijabule ngokuphelele. Isibonelo, ngangingeyena uLykke kakhulu lapho ngishiya i-iPad yami endizeni ngemva kohambo. Kodwa ngabona ngokushesha ukuthi lokhu akuyona into embi kakhulu engenzeka ekuphileni, futhi ngokushesha ngabuyela ekulinganiseni.
Enye yezimfihlo engiyixoxayo encwadini yami entsha ukuthi abantu bajabule kakhulu uma bendawonye kunokuba bebodwa. Ngake ngachitha izinsuku ezinhlanu kwenye yezindawo zokudlela eStuttgart, ngibuka ukuthi kaningi kangakanani abantu bemamatheka bebodwa futhi benothile. Ngathola ukuthi ababebodwa babemamatheka kanye njalo ngemva kwemizuzu engu-36, kuyilapho ababenabangane bemamatheka njalo ngemva kwemizuzu engu-14. Ngakho-ke uma ufuna ukuba u-Lykke kakhulu, phuma endlini futhi uxhumane nabantu. Yazi omakhelwane bakho futhi ulethe ophaya abanobungane kunabo bonke. Mamatheka emgwaqeni futhi abantu bazophinde bakumoyizele. Fisela obaziyo kanye nabantu ongabazi abakubuka ngentshisekelo. Lokhu kuzokujabulisa ngempela.
Injabulo ivame ukuhlotshaniswa nemali. Ngamunye wethu ujabulisa kakhulu ukuba nemali kunokungabi nayo. Kodwa ngithole ukuthi abantu baseCopenhagen abacebile kakhulu, kodwa baningi ngempela abantu abajabule lapha, uma kuqhathaniswa, isibonelo, neSeoul. ENingizimu Korea, abantu balangazelela imoto entsha minyaka yonke, futhi uma bengayitholi bacindezeleka. E-Denmark, yonke into ilula: asizithengi nhlobo izimoto, ngoba noma iyiphi imoto eDenmark intela ku-150% 🙂
Ukwazi ukuthi unenkululeko nokukhetha kukwenza uzizwe njengoLykke. Isibonelo, eScandinavia akukho lutho olungalungile ngokuthi abazali abasha bashiya ingane yabo kusihlwa nogogo nomkhulu futhi baya emcimbini. Lokhu kuyabajabulisa, okusho ukuthi bazoba nobudlelwano obumangalisayo nesizukulwane esidala kanye nengane. Akekho oyojabula uma uzivimbela ngaphakathi kwezindonga ezine, kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo uhambisane nazo zonke "izimiso" zomphakathi.
Injabulo isezintweni ezincane, kodwa yizinto ezincane ezisenza sijabule ngempela.”
