You are really rich, you just don't know it yet video
When people are asked about their happiest moments,
not one of them talked about money...
Money will not be able to trade our happiest memories...
There are just too many things going on in the worry to worry about money...

Today is the weekend,
I woke up feeling healthy (slept till like 11am...so lucky),
read a little while doing the "morning business"..
watched a couple of esp. of "Firefly"...
played with the baby a while...
listening to Cheer and Tanya's music while writing this blog...
expecting this to be a great day with a little out of town get away tonight...
this simple day is already worth well up to $230,000,000
according to the book "You are really rich, you just don't know it yet"...

一句我愛你…價值873萬 自由時報 2009/07/14
〔編譯魏國金／綜合報導〕
生命中許多時刻是無價的，不過一本名為「你真的很富有，只是你還不知道」的新書，試圖將那些無價時刻貨幣化，結果聽到「我愛你」的價值高達16萬3424英鎊（約台幣873萬元），排名僅次於擁有健康。
英國每日電訊報13日報導，該書作者史蒂芬．亨利與大衛．艾伯特斯委託市調研究公司Brainjuicer詢問並分析逾1000名英國人，什麼讓他們感到幸福。受訪者將50件生活經驗與中樂透的快樂作比較，給出評分，然後再利用評分系統，計算那些讓人幸福的生命點滴的金錢價值。
結果出爐，健康是人們最珍視的資產，其價值達18萬多英鎊（台幣約960萬元），排名第2的是有人訴說「我愛你」，緊隨在後的是穩定的感情，其價值達15萬4849英鎊（台幣約827萬元）。
其他排名前10名的生命中最美好經驗是︰在和平安全的國家生活、有兒女、與家人相處、笑、做愛、度假、品味寧靜。
此外，閱讀的價值達287萬台幣，看電影則降至116萬元，工作樂趣約為200萬元，較遜於對週末期待的價值（台幣266萬餘元），休一天假價約為291萬元。
預期清晨起來有美好一天的價值為94萬餘元，但晚上回家讓人較感愉快，其價值達242萬餘元。吃巧克力的快樂高於煮飯，前者為218萬餘元，後者為171萬元。有寵物相伴為420台幣，而擁有小寶寶高達660萬元。
撰寫該書的前廣告公司執行長亨利與艾伯特斯，旨在呈現有一些事的價值更甚金錢。亨利說︰「這本書是關於一個有別於純粹金融體系的新價值系統，部分因為信貸緊縮的結果，人們探索不同的生活方式，尋找一個可取代金錢的價值普遍準則。
The credit crunch is one of those once in a generation moments when everyone stops to think about what things are really worth. Because after years of rampant greed and unsustainable demand, Oscar Wilde’s description of a cynic was starting to apply to all of us – people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
But what if there is more to life than needing to spend ￡100 on a new iPod because Apple brought out one that was purple? What if money isn’t the best way to put a value on things?
This book suggests that there may be more important things than a new pair of Manolo Blahniks. Things like your family, or your favourite music, or a walk in the park on a sunny day. Or sex. Or telling someone you love them. This book is about helping us to realise that whatever our financial situation, our lives are incredibly wealthy already.
You are really rich. You just don’t know it yet.
