The meaning of being happy is all the little things in life like having a house to live in, having food to eat, and having a loving family. In my opinion one attain's true happiness when one stop's looking at what they don't have and instead looks at what they have that makes them happy. ]]> 2018-04-16 17:17:11 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/252254896 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/252264077 In this article, it has been proven by scientists that money can buy happiness. In the article it states that money buys "free time" for people. In my opinion money contributes to happiness, but I do not think it's essential to be happy. In my opinion getting material things make people happy for a short while. Money is not true happiness but it can buy happiness for a short while.]]> 2018-04-16 17:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/252264077 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/252608374 In my opinion this image is indicating that happiness is about embracing who you are and having a positive outlook in life. ]]> 2018-04-17 14:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/252608374 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254515274 Having friends is a big attribute to happiness, the company of others is what makes some people happy. For me, friends is an attribute to my happiness, but it isn't important to me. I've always found a way to be happy with or without people. ]]> 2018-04-23 17:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254515274 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254518811 In this article, scientists had stated that nature plays an important role in maintaining positive health. In my opinion nature makes me happy, the feeling of being outside gives me time to think about my life. Walking around the forest and being alone makes me happy and it's a big attribute to my happy. ]]> 2018-04-23 17:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254518811 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254525393 In this article it states that video games engage people more effectively and more productively than any other thing and makes people happy. In my opinion video games is a contributor to happiness. I also think that material things make you happy for a short amount of time and it's not genuine happiness. ]]> 2018-04-23 17:37:52 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/254525393 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/256619975 In this article it states that married couples are happier than single people. In my opinion I think the feeling people get from their life partner is a huge contributor to happiness: being supportive and helping around the house are some things that make people happy. The feeling of loyalty and trust are huge contributor to happiness. ]]> 2018-04-30 17:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/256619975 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/256622392 This article argues that love is a different feeling than happiness and that love doesn't make people happy. I somewhat agree to this because in the book the Great Gatsby, Gatsby loves Daisy but he is not happy because she isn't by his side. This article and the Great Gatsby are similar because they both indicate that the feeling of love is not a contributor to happiness through Gatsby and Daisy's love and the research shown in the article.

This article connects with the Old Man and the Sea because Santiago also appreciated all the little things in life and valued his house and his job event though he wasn't really accomplishing anything. Santiago and the article indicate that senior citizens feel that happiness comes from the simple things in life. ]]> 2018-04-30 17:34:36 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/256627209 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/258634368 In this video the kids talk about how family, friends and nature make them happy. This made me think that the simple things in our lives and being grateful for those simple things is what true happiness is and when we start looking for things we don't have we will never be satisfied with what we have. ]]> 2018-05-07 17:21:50 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/258634368 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/258642378 This article states that no matter how something makes you happy, we drift back to where we started; like having a car we are happy in the first couple of months but soon we will grow sick of it. If we are stuck in the same routine then we won't be happy; we can never be satisfied. In my opinion if we look at the bigger picture and see how privileged we are to have a car I think we can stay happier. ]]> 2018-05-07 17:37:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/258642378 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261306684 In this video the kids talk about how they would rather be a rich adult than be a child forever. They think that success is having a lot of money and that money can buy things that make you happy. For me, I do not agree with these kids because I feel that success isn't measured with the amount of money you earn or the things you have, success is about achieving whatever you want and money doesn't have to be the reward. I also think that money can buy materialistic things that make us happy for a short while but I do not think it is true happiness. ]]> 2018-05-16 17:07:08 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261306684 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261309511 In the book the Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby thought that if he was rich he could get the girl he loves Daisy. But in the end he " was clutching for some last hope"(Fitzgerald 161), he didn't get Daisy. I do not agree with Gatsby and his way of being happy, I think that Gatsby was to focused on achieving this one thing that he though would make him happy that he lost meaning and happiness in his life. ]]> 2018-05-16 17:13:07 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261309511 marysan9152 https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261335351 2018-05-16 18:06:34 UTC https://padlet.com/marysan9152/ju0y3vkzy7j/wish/261335351
