*_Have you noticed that a bronze medalist is generally happier than a silver medalist at the end of the game._*
*_Its not incidental finding but proven fact in many research studies after studying reactions of silver medalists vs bronze medalists!_*
*_Ideally, a silver medalist should be more happy than the bronze. But, human mind doesn't work like mathematics._*
*_This happens because of phenomenon of counterfactual thinking._*
*_A concept in psychology in which there is human tendency to create possible alternatives to life events that have already happened, that would be contrary to what happened._*
*_Sliver medalist thinks, "Oh I couldn't win the gold medal." Bronze medalist thinks, "At least I got a medal."_*
*_Silver medal is won after losing, but Bronze medal is won after Winning._*
*_This happens in our life also, we don't appreciate what we have but feel sad with what we don't have. Our blessings far outweigh our problems._*
