The German way...

One side of the coin...the germans give a lot of importance to public life, that is why may be they are more content. You can see innumerable families enjoying the weekend afternoons in parks and hang out places just eating, drinking and chitchatting. you can witness the children enjoy their soccer or rugby and even grandma's and grandpa's taking looooong walks all alone. spending time with family gives a lot of happiness and relieves a lot of your internal pressures........next day you are off to office to do some real fruitful work.
of course when there is a coin, there are two sides.............................
