English Original
A multinational company was recruiting a planning director. After several rounds of selection, only three outstanding candidates remained for the final test.
For this final assessment, the three applicants were placed in a room equipped with a monitor. The room had basic supplies but no telephone and no internet access. The examiner did not give them specific instructions; they were simply told to wait patiently for the exam questions.
On the first day, all three felt slightly excited. They watched TV, read books, and listened to music.
By the next day, the situation began to change. Due to the prolonged wait, two of them grew anxious—constantly changing their posture and flipping through TV channels. Only one candidate remained content: smiling along with the TV show, enjoying his meals, and reading before sleep.
After five days, the assessment ended. The three were led out of the room, and the one who had maintained a happy state of mind was hired. The examiner explained: "Happiness is a kind of ability. To keep a joyful heart in any environment allows one to approach success more steadily."

一家跨国公司正在招聘规划总监。经过几轮筛选，只剩下三位优秀的候选人进入最终测试。
在最终评估中，三位申请人被安排在一个配有监控器的房间里。房间有基本物资，但没有电话，也无法上网。考官没有给出具体指示，只是告诉他们耐心等待考题。
第一天，三人都略显兴奋。他们看电视、看书、听音乐。
到了第二天，情况开始发生变化。由于等待时间过长，其中两人变得焦虑不安——不断变换姿势，频繁切换电视频道。只有一位候选人依然保持满足：随着电视节目微笑，享受他的餐食，阅读后入睡。
五天后，评估结束。三人被带出房间，那位始终保持快乐心态的候选人被录用了。考官解释道：“快乐是一种能力。在任何环境中都保持一颗快乐的心，能让人更平稳地接近成功。”
