What made you happy when you were little? 


Sample answer
When I was little, I found a lot of joy in simple things like playing with my toys, reading my favorite books, and spending time outdoors. I loved the freedom to explore and use my imagination. Family time, like having a picnic or going on a trip, also made me really happy as a child.

Is there anything that has made you feel happy lately? 


Sample answer
Yes, there have been a few things that have made me feel happy lately. Catching up with old friends, completing a big work project successfully, and spending quality time in nature have all brought me a lot of joy and satisfaction recently. The little everyday moments can really lift my mood.

Are you happy when you buy new things? 


Sample answer
Yes, I do feel a sense of happiness when I buy new things, at least for a little while. There's a excitement and satisfaction that comes with acquiring something new, whether it's a new piece of clothing, a gadget, or a household item. However, that happiness tends to be fleeting, and I've learned not to rely on material possessions for lasting fulfillment.

When do you feel happy at work? 


Sample answer
I feel happiest at work when I'm able to complete a challenging task successfully or make progress on an important project. Collaborating with my colleagues and receiving positive feedback from my manager also tends to boost my mood and satisfaction with my work. Moments when I can apply my skills and expertise in meaningful ways are especially rewarding.

Do you think happiness is important? 


Sample answer
Yes, I absolutely believe that happiness is very important. Having a sense of joy, contentment, and well-being in one's life is crucial for overall health and fulfillment. While we can't be happy all the time, striving for more happiness through positive lifestyle choices and relationships is something I think we should all aim for.

Do you think people are happy when buying new things? 


Sample answer
I think people often feel a temporary sense of happiness when buying new things, but that feeling doesn't usually last very long. The excitement and novelty of a new purchase can make us feel good in the moment, but material possessions don't provide lasting fulfillment. True happiness comes more from our relationships, experiences, and inner sense of purpose.

What do you think will make you feel happy in the future? 


Sample answer
In the future, I think achieving some of my personal goals, like finishing an important degree or finding a fulfilling career, would make me feel very happy. Maintaining close relationships with family and friends is also something I believe will continue to bring me joy and contentment over time. Having good health and opportunities to travel are other things that could contribute to my happiness.
