I can relate to no. 23 about people who volunteer being more satisfied with their lives. I am a volunteer teacher in a primary school in a Black Township in South Africa and it is enormously satisfying and at the age of 77 it has given me a real boost which I doubt I would have had otherwise.

All are very interesting. 7 you're more logical when you think in another language is true for me since English is my 3rd language. I go my native one when emotional.

some of these points sound like they were incorrectly translated from some foreign language with hilarious results (eg.3) and some of the others don't seem plausible.
