We may fall behind, but what keeps us going is out determination and our motivation to win the race. Without this winning attitude, you won't win the race and without determination, you will not achieve happiness. ]]> 2018-05-10 21:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259798856 Old Man and The Sea Examples paulkie5671 https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259799418  “Every day is a new day. It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready (Hemingway, 41).” This shows how the old man does not leave his fate up to luck. He takes control and is determined to create a positive outcome in any situation no matter whether he is luck or not.

"It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty and he always went down to help him carry either the coiled lines or the gaff and harpoon and the sail that was furled around the mast. The sail was patched with flour sacks and, furled; it looked like the flag of permanent defeat. (Hemingway, 12)."
The old man, through his tough and brutal years, still maintained his determination and winning attitude even when his body was growing old from age.  He did not give up. Even after going 40 days without a single fish, he didn't give up.

First of all, they are there when we need it the most. They are there when we have reached a point in our lives where we need support from others. Without a strong support system, one will struggle to find happiness. It also helps to prevent loneliness and make us feel like we always have someone to go to when we are in trouble. ]]> 2018-05-10 22:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259802028 The Necessities paulkie5671 https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259802730 Without the necessities like food, water, sleep, and enough resources to support you and you loved ones, achieving happiness is close to impossible. ]]> 2018-05-10 22:19:09 UTC https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259802730 Happiness Is A Subjective Term paulkie5671 https://padlet.com/paulkie5671/uagcl7ijpcxh/wish/259803546 Happiness means something different to everyone.
