Happiness is A Choice

Dec 15, 2018

I want to thank everyone that participated in the take quiz, I have been inundated with questions and request about what the answer to this puzzle. I remember i promised to deliver the verdict yesterday evening but i had some platform challenges (my sincere apologies for the late post). 

I have some good news and some bad news. Let me give you guys the good news first:

All your answers were correct (I know some of you are shaking your heads and saying things like “really?”). Remember most things in life is a matter of perspective, let me give you an example that buttresses this point; I asked my two kids to participate in the quiz and my son and daughter both said they will have nothing to do with pill 1: Look 15 years younger (as you may have guessed none of them is up to 15 years old yet), and their reason is pretty straight forward that they will end up being “little children” which is something they can NOT afford to be at the moment. They will rather be adult (don’t we all have had that type of wish before but we know better today 🙂 - Youth is truly wasted on the young).


Now for the answer to the question that everyone has been waiting for: 99% (both by public and private voters) selected 8 (Always feel happy) among their pills (even people whom it was not their first choice, sent chat or re-posted their choices to include

pill 8: Always feel happy). At we all agree on one thing we want to be happy.

90% of the participants settled for pill 7 (Have a lot of money) now surprises there either: - Interestingly my own dear wife choose pills 1 and 7, she wanted to be 15 years younger and have lots of money to enjoy it (I guess she can have both wishes though in all cases it would cost her money 🙂 and much more)

As for me I want it all (after all I am the umpire so I can do whatever I want – Ha ha only in my dreams) For some strange reason only 5% (no I exaggerate J ) wanted pill 9 (Get millions of followers) – The truth is that the percentage was less than 5% (more like 0.5% - I said 5% because I don’t want to hurt some people’s vanity – sadly that’s how some people are on social media).

Now for the not so good news: No matter the combination of pill that you take, it would involve you exerting some of your time, effort and in some case money (yes that "dirt" word)


Given that most people selected pills 7 and 8. I have a couple of things exciting to offer in this respect (the secret to be reveal soon – next month actually). All you have to do is register to get my surprise package in the New Year.

If what you want is eluding you (like the baby in the video above), here is a possible reason: It could just be (and I am sure you suspected it this all the while) that certain things (mindset, beliefs, attitude, work ethics etc) may actually be standing in your way and ONLY YOU can remove the blockers.
