我告訴你事實正好相反. 獲得成功並不會導致快樂，反倒是

happiness leads to success. You need a minute to process that? It's fine. I'll wait.

我沒有騙你，某個人在某個地方提出了這個觀點. 我不認識他們，但我在這裡認識的.

We wanted to see if we could prove it ourselves here in our lab. We gathered a selection of

我們想要了解，我們可不可以在實驗室中證實這個觀點. 我們找了一群挑選過的

volunteers and we split them into two groups, a control group and an experimental group.

自願者，並且把他們分成兩個族群，控制組以及實驗組.

For the experimental group we tried to change their mood with something called positive affectivity.

在實驗組中，我們想使用正向情感去改變他們的心情.

That's science for we affected them positively. JH: Would you like some snacks? Would you

實驗者1: 好! JH: 我們這邊有一個軟木塞板以及蠟燭

and a box. Inside this box are tacks and matches. Your puzzle, should you choose to accept it,

還有一個盒子. 盒子裡面有大頭針以及火柴. 你的問題是，如果你接受的話，

當你點燃或者熄滅蠟燭時，不會有任何的蠟滴在桌子

drip on the table, on the support, on the floor, anything like that. Does that make

瘋狂的事情? JH: 沒有，我們不會提出任何

P5: But it's okay to drip on the board.

受試者5: 滴在板子上是可以的.

JH: The board itself? The cork board? No. P5: No?

JH: 板子上嗎? 軟木塞板? 不行. 受試者5: 不行?!

JH: No P5: What it's gonna dissipate?

JH: 不行. 受試者5: 什麼! 它是會消失嗎?

on the cork board. It's creative, I will give you that. It's not the answer.

軟木塞板上. 我會跟你說，這個方法創意性十足. 但這不是答案.

就只要深呼吸然後思考更多這個問題，而不是逼迫我去把這件事情完成.

JH: Do you think success leads to happiness or happiness leads to success.

JH: 你覺得成功會帶來快樂還是快樂會帶來成功?

P5: Ah, the age old question. Success is when preparation meets opportunity, so to answer

受試者5: 哈，這是個老問題. 當準備良好搭配上機會就是成功，所以關於你的問題

your question I think its not relevant in terms of success. Everybody has their own opinions

我認為這個與成功無關. 每個人都有一個自己對成功的定義!

on what success is! JH: Does success lead to happiness or does

JH: 你覺得成功會帶來快樂還是快樂會帶來成功?

happiness lead to success. P1: Obviously if you're happy then you're

受試者1: 顯然的如果你是快樂的

probably gonna be more successful and everybody has different definition of success. So if

你可能會更成功，而每個人都有自己一套對成功的定義. 所以

you're happy and you're doing what you love, hey you're successful. So it just depends

你是快樂的，而且是從是你所熱愛的事情，那你就是成功的. 所以這取決於

on your own definition of success, so I think happiness has to come first.

你怎麼定義成功這個名詞，在我看來快樂會帶來成功.

JH: Do you think success leads to happiness or happiness leads to success?

JH: 你覺得成功會帶來快樂還是快樂會帶來成功?

P8: If you're happier, you probably think more clearly, more optimistically and then

受試者8: 如果你是快樂的，你的想法可能會比較清晰也比較樂觀，然後

you have better chances at success. JH: What are the results? We found that the

你就有較高的機率會成功. JH: 結果是什麼呢? 我們發現

group we subjected to positive affectivity on average solved it 14% faster than the control

受到正向情感的實驗組在解決問題速度上比實驗組快了14%.

group. Now there's no way to know for sure if the people we brought in for our experimental

現在我們無法切確的知道這些實驗組的人

group were just naturally better problem solvers to begin with. Plus we had a very small sample

是不是本身問題解決能力就比較好. 在加上我們受試者的

size, so the results aren't bulletproof. But, take it for what it's worth! In fact I'll

樣本數非常小，所以這個結論並不是肯定的. 但是，它還是有它的價值存在!

even let you in on a little secret. I'm not a real scientist! Felt good to get that off

事實上，我要跟你說一個小祕密. 我其實不是一個真正的科學家! 說出來的

my chest. So, go on then, be happy! [off camera]: What if we're not happy?

感覺真好. 所以，開心點! (工作人員): 那如果我們不快樂呢?
