There was once a statement made by a psychologist that said that 80 percent of the pursuit of happiness is really just about the genes, and it's as difficult to become happier as it is to become taller. That's nonsense. There is a decent contribution to happiness from the genes — about 50 percent — but there is still that 50 percent that is unaccounted for.
Один психолог заявил, что счастье на 80 процентов предопределено генами, так же сложно, как стать выше ростом. Чепуха. Да, роль генов немалая – где-то 50%. Но ведь остаётся ещё 50%!
