I am easily pleased when my program or system works well.
Then I blog about it and tell people about it -- happily.
-----
But when I look at my colleagues, I see that some do not show such emotions but report casually as part of their duties.
-- They're an adult.
I admire them.
As an adult members of society, we should not be happy or sad about a program or a system.
When I see people who are calm like that, I think
--, I must be childish.

I don't understand the psychology of people who disclose their mansions, expensive cars, jewelry, and brand-name goods on TV programs.
First, from my point of view as a have-not, there is no way I would enjoy such a program -- in fact, I would be jealous of it.
Second, there is no benefit to disclosing it in the first place -- in fact, it only increases the risk of being involved in a crime.
Yes, maybe this logic is not wrong, I think.

However, there is some similarity between my 'I'm happy when a program or system works well' principle of behavior and the above behavior.
What does that mean? That meas,
"If we don't record what makes us happy, it's easy to forget."
Without studying psychology, sad memories can last for years, but happy memories can disappear in less than an hour if they are bad.
A simple example is "passing or failing an entrance exam." The joy of a pass disappears within the day. In comparison, however, the sadness of a rejection lasts about two or three orders of magnitude longer.
-- Positive emotions are hyper-volatile
is no doubt.
I am a person who survives each day by keeping happy memories before I forget them and revisiting them later -- as a narrow-minded person.

I think mansions, expensive cars, jewelry, and brand-name goods are not what 'keeps the joy going.'
It is a well-known fact that "difference equations express positive emotions.
The quickest way to reaffirm volatile positive emotions is to "brag to others" and "have others envy you.
I think disclosing personal information, even at the risk of jealousy and criminal threat, is one method of a narrow-minded life to maintain a sense of joy -- just like me.
