About 80% of the 75 people said that they were and about 20% of them said that they were´t. What characteristics that one has is considered with being a happy person?]]> 2018-04-23 16:25:41 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254485564 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254485721 In the same survey I also asked the question, ¨How many times a week do you consider yourself to be happy?¨ and about 45% said 6-7 times a week and about 37% said 4-5 times a week. What is considered being happy? ]]> 2018-04-23 16:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254485721 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254487365 I recently did a survey asking multiple questions and one of them asked, ¨What color do you think of when you think of the word ´happy´?¨ and about 67% of the 75 responses said yellow. But why yellow? ]]> 2018-04-23 16:29:10 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254487365 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254490004 On this website, there were the meanings of yellow and they were very interesting as to why yellow is a happy color. The article says, ¨
Yellow is the most luminous of all the colors of the spectrum. It’s the color that captures our attention more than any other color¨. The color yellow is a very bright and considered a happy color in most cultures. Yellow is the opposite of darker colors almost with it being bright such as in the sun or a smiley face color. The article also states that ¨
In almost every culture yellow represents sunshine, happiness, and warmth.¨ Yellow is also a very noticeable color which can be easier to see in caution signs on the street or inside of a place. ]]> 2018-04-23 16:34:18 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254490004 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254496967 Many people consider themselves happy, but what actually makes one truly happy? Many people say that their relationship with their family or their friends fall around what makes them happy. A section in this article is titled ¨Connect with Yourself¨ and it was really understanding yourself and what makes you truly happy. 
Happiness is also a choice so you can either fake it until you make it or actually be happy with being positive! Also with parts of being happy, sometimes you just have to relax and have a good time, because before you know it that moment or memory will be gone.]]> 2018-04-23 16:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/254496967 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/256600867 In this online article, there were many interesting ideas that were stated with what makes someone happy. Certain traits or the environment that we grow up in affects someones happiness throughout their life. Depending on where or how someone grew up, affects on how they act and how happy they can be. On the picture on the article says that 50% of happiness comes from our genes, 40% comes from ourselves and only 10% comes from our circumstances. I found this interesting because of how much of our genes affects our happiness and our everyday lives. I think that this is interesting that ourselves are influenced only by 40% with our decisions or things that we want in order for us to be happy. ]]> 2018-04-30 16:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/256600867 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258609590 I interviewed my family with asking them these questions:
1. What makes you happy in one word?
2. What makes you happy?
3. In 20 years what can you see making you happy?]]> 2018-05-07 16:31:12 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258609590 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258614249 Just with asking a couple of questions in this quiz, it can show you how happy you are or can strive to be]]> 2018-05-07 16:40:08 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258614249 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258618278 With following up with more questions to ask my family members, I asked these:
4. What made you happy when you were younger?
5. What color do you think of when you think of the word happy? Why?]]> 2018-05-07 16:46:53 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/258618278 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/260006384 Throughout ¨The Great Gatsby¨ there are many ups and downs with happiness and how someone can obtain happiness. Gatsby was an optimist throughout the whole book which helped with his strive to reach his goal, which was to be with Daisy. But sometimes all goals can´t be reached because something is in the way that you can´t control. In Gatsby´s case, the uncontrollable cause was Tom and how he has been married to Daisy before Gatsby could confess his love again because he was in the war. Gatsby's happiness and grit to get what he wanted and more was very impressive considering he thought that he could change his life with marrying Daisy and having her divorce Tom. In his mind it was easy, but in real life it was not because adversity got in the way of his success to get Daisy. I think that this book specifically demonstrates that even if you strive your hardest and try your best, you will still experience failure of some sort in the end. This is displayed with Gatsby considering that he was so close to getting Daisy, but then George Wilson shot him and then instantly passed away. Gatsby never got another chance to try and change who he was after his rejection from Daisy because of his consequences of trying to go above and beyond everyone else. ]]> 2018-05-11 16:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/260006384 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/260012729 This video is about the meaning of happiness throughout the years that when you grow older, research says that you become happier. With teenagers being all caught up in social media and social status, this can affect their mental health with thinking low of themselves and this can lead into depression or anxiety. The older we get the more we tend to be happy and be grateful for the stuff that we have. This video is very interesting to watch and listen to, I recommend watching some of the video but you don´t have to watch all of it. ]]> 2018-05-11 16:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/260012729 baileyhou5405 https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/261290487 2018-05-16 16:31:18 UTC https://padlet.com/baileyhou5405/xky6vj3xs00e/wish/261290487
