Hihi here are some interesting facts people might want to know =D
An average man speaks about 9000words a day and women 5000, for that, I'm definitely one of the higher average man =X AND now we know why women always complain how their men have nothing to say to them hahaha =D
An average person speaks about 40-50k self-talk (means talk to ownself) words a day and 70% of it are negative.
Another study says that an average person speaks about 20k self-talk words a day, even so, 50% of it are negative.
I guess whatever the number of words we talk to ourselves, the % of negative stuff is pretty scary =D Just imagine you are telling yourself "I can't stand this !@#*&^" and all the while you are smiling and talking to that person. It's almost like we're all schizophrenic lol, sounds pretty scary eh =X
That apart, I guess we are mostly negative people huh? I think it's especially true in Singapore because on the "World Happy Index", the measurement of the happiness level of the people in a country, Singapore is ranked like 139 or 141 (can't remember lol). By the way, I'm not very sure how many countries they surveyed the highest I saw was ranked 150 but anyways theres only 190 countries in the world so we ain't too far back =X. And so, we ARE very unhappy bunch of people here in Singapore. Now you know that you aren't the only one when you are unhappy haha =X
Even though we are a bunch of unhappy folks, we are rated the 5th best city in the world to obtain a degree and the 6th best to do business =D not too shabby ya? Anyways, not gonna share alot of my thoughts about these studies/facts because I believe that everyone has their own perception of things especially on such stuff.
Just thought it might be interesting for people to know =D
