Interesting post from Scott Adams:

i think i engineer my own happiness the same way too.

Food - I love to eat. And i always feel happier after eating something. When i'm upset, i look for food too.

Exercise - I exercise because it makes me feel happy. And then SR complements me saying i have a good physique, so that's double happy. When i get gold for my IPPT, that makes me triple happy and 400 dollars richer. I don't understand why people don't exercise.

Goals - I do have very mini work related goals that makes me feel happy when working on them. Makes me feel like i can change somethings.

Meaning - I love myself. People probably don't realise it, but i'm quite selfish when it comes to my own time. Which is why i don't bother entertaining acquaintances unless i'm forced to. Sorry if anyone feels hurt by this statement.

Positivity - Mmm i've got to work on this a bit more. I do like to comment on what's wrong with everything and everyone. I'm an asshole. But after spending years with SR, i probably learnt to tone it down and be slightly more socially acceptable. I hope haha.

A little bit of danger - I'm quite risk adverse. Maybe i should really do a roller coaster ride just one fucking time.

Learn - I love to learn and learning makes me very happy. I learnt what is slow flash yesterday. Wedding shots will never be the same again hahahah. Truth be told, i'm actually thankful for my brain to be able to comprehend most things i read, and therefore learn.

Feel success - There's a reason why i like to shoot alone. Making 200-300 shots in 1 hour is like 200-300 mini victories in a short span of time, and a very good way to tell yourself that, "yes, i'm a good shooter". Ego-boosting, but it makes me happy.

Relationships - I have good relationships with the people that matter to me. And that's just a small circle of friends. For relationships, i think quality is always better than quantity. Again, sorry my dear acquaintances, i don't really bother :)

Just found out that SR's pal is attached with some guy i know from NS. Honestly speaking, he did not leave a good impression on me back then, but i couldn't remember exactly why. Subconsciously, i just know that i should stay away from this person.

My memory sucks, but i remember all the people that i should avoid. Sounds kinda like the guy in Memento.
