         <title>What makes you happy survey(Google Form Responses Spreadsheet)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>After conducting a survey of what makes people happy many of the answer choices had varied depending on the age group. Most people from all groups had put down that relationships with friends and family makes them happy. This is because when being with friends and family one can open up and be themselves around them. Secondly,  Most people under the age of 16 had said that money brings them happiness while  people over the age of 16 had said that their job had made them happy. This relates to my Anatomy teacher because he was pressured into becoming a doctor while he wanted to be a teacher. He did what he loved and he followed his passion of becoming a teacher, despite what his family had said about him. To this date he still walks into class without any regrets. Most of the people over the age of 16 had not even put money down as one of their things that make them happy. This relates to our discussion in class because we had talked how younger people tend to use money that is earned by someone else, so spending is no problem for them.  While older people make wiser decisions when spending money because they tend to earn it and they need to buy necessities. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This image has figure which seems to be sad or depressed while there are huge sacks of money. This can connect to our world right now because there are many celebrities that have a lot of money but they battle with depression. A couple weeks ago a famous music producer, Avicii had died from suicide due to depression. His net worth was $85 million and society thinks that he must have been having the best time in his life. But in reality, this money didnt mean anything to him because he still couldnt obtain true happiness. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Asking my brother, Amaan Faruqi, of what makes him happy. ( Video Interview)</title>

         <link>https://padlet.com/akbarfar1756/5o41v4ykfh2d/wish/260175840</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>After asking my brother of what makes him happy he tells us that his hobbies make him happy. He tells me that he likes to play hockey because it allows him to use strategies. Also he loves to play video games because he gets to play with his friends and it makes him happy everyday. But most importantly, his friends and family make him happy because they are always their for him and he likes to spend time with them. I asked him if he thinks that money and expensive things make him happy, he tells me no. He says that some people who don't have enough are satisfied with what they have. His statement relates to the social experiment we saw in class because a homeless man had taken only a couple dollars from the mans jacket. The person with the money asked him to take more, but he was already satisfied with what he already had. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Connection with my Anatomy teacher, Mr. Java.</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My human anatomy teacher, Java, spends time every week into giving his students advice for whats to come in the real world. He calls this, Character building sessions and he tells us advice, personal experiences, and what he has learned in his life so we could be successful in the future. During semester 1, one of our sessions was focused on happiness. This lasted the whole period and we focused on things that made us happy. First and foremost he tells us that his family makes him happy. He loves his wife, daughter, brothers and parents because they had always been there for him when he faced trouble.But One story that had stuck out to me is when he was contemplating on whether to become a teacher or a doctor. He told us that his family disagreed with him because he chose to be a teacher and not a doctor. This is because in his Persian culture being a doctor was favorable than becoming a teacher because doctors had a higher income. Despite the backlash he received from his family. He wanted to be a teacher because he loves doing it and money was not a problem for him.To this day he still has a positive attitude in class everyday which shows that doing what you love can achieve happiness. This story contradicts the fact that money brings happiness because my teacher could have been a doctor and make more money than a teacher, but he wouldn't feel happy and he would feel regretful.</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>This quote exemplifies the fact that by having good relationships you will be much happier than ever. It talks about how if you were happy in a negative relationship then how would you feel if you were happy in a positive relationship. By having a good relationship one will achieve true happiness. This can be evident in the Catcher in the Rye. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Can religion and spiritually bring happiness to someone?(Youtube video)</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>Chris Hall who is the narrator of this video tells us how religion and spirituality can bring happiness to people. I was interested into looking into religion because I have talked to and I have seen interviews in which religion has allowed people to seek answers and it had also given them guidance into how to prosper in the world. Chris Hall talks about how religion is beneficial to some people. He tells us that we form a sense of community when you are with the same religious followers because people feel united and happy that there are people just like them. Also religion connects people to their inner-selves through the process of prayer or meditation. This can explain why most people in the world are adherents to a specific religion because it brings tranquility and forms communities. </div>]]></description>

         <title>Why Meditation can bring happiness</title>
         <author>akbarfar1756</author>
         <link>https://padlet.com/akbarfar1756/5o41v4ykfh2d/wish/260177620</link>
         <description><![CDATA[<div>This article focuses on why we feel happy when we are meditating and connecting with our inner selves. One of the main reasons on why this happens because people feel a sense of tranquility and relief. Meditation allows one to detach them selves from emotions and stress and they feel euphoric and relieved. Meditation also releases healthy hormones in the body which allows one to feel happy. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>My brother had said that people who are less fortunate tend to be happy with what they already have. This relates to Santiago in The Old Man in the Sea because even though he was not a successful fisherman he still maintains a positive mindset when doing so. This shows that by doing what he loves that its easier to acquire happiness. </div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>At first I had thought that money and materialistic things brought happiness, but I was wrong. After reading multiple articles, conducting interviews, conducting surveys and looking at videos I had learned that relationships with people and doing what you love is what mainly allows one to feel happy. </div>]]></description>
