The World's Happiest People?

LONDON (Reuters) - Colombians see themselves as the world's
happiest people, an internet survey of more than 400,000 people around the globe showed on
Friday.

Computer networking equipment maker 3Com Corp based its conclusions on the percentage of
people in different countries who believed they were happier than others.

The Colombians scored highest, with 73 percent of people questioned giving a positive response
compared with a global average of 35 percent.

The survey threw up some surprising results.

Russians, for example, scored as the world's fifth happiest nation, despite economic hardship and
political turmoil.

Brazilians were among the most miserable.

The survey also found that marriage can be a mixed blessing.

``The overwhelming majority of people who have so far taken part in the poll have identified a
single life with plenty of sleep and lots of laughs as some of the key factors that will give them a
happy life,'' Shane Buckle of 3Com said.

British people were 30th happiest in the world, behind Germans in 24th and French in 15th.
