Literacy

Reading is my literacy. It is a long history, started when was young. For me reading is like an art, the more you read the more you want it. I used to read a lot when I was in the high school. My fevered books are novels, but also I am interesting in the politics books. Many people are asking me why reading is my literacy, and for me is because reading is like I am watching a silent movie. Moreover, I like to see structure for every article or book that I read. Through the reading I can improve my communication and also gives me opportunity to have more ideas of how to write a composition. In addition, reading is my best friend when I am alone. It true when many people say that reading is your best secret friend.

HAPPINESS

An agreeable feeling or condition of the soul arising from good fortune, and the possession of enjoyment, is the state of being happy.


“How to gain, how to keep, how to recover happiness is in fact for most people at all times the secret motive for all they do. People who are happy perceive the world as safer, make decisions more easily, are more cooperative, and live healthier and more energized.
Both articles show us that there are some factors how to gain the happiness, such as, money, marriage and religion.
Most of the people think that only money can make people happy. However, both articles are coming up with the some guest ions. Could money buy you happiness? Greg Easterbrook, different than Myers, he focused on some historical background and statistics and compare with the current time. 1950 Americans used to connect money with happiness, but today money jungles in their pocket and purses us never before and they are basically no happier for it., and for many, more money leads to depression. According to recent study by Roland Kessler of Harvard Medical School, 1 in 15 Americans experience an episode of major depression. On the other side Myers with some research show us that in affluent countries such as, U.S, Canada and Germany, where the most can afford life’s necessities, the correlation between income and personal happiness is surprisingly weak.
Friendships are one of the main factors that make people happy. According to the author (David Myers), being attached to friends and partners with whom we can share intimate thoughts has two effects, it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half. Myers focused deeply on friendships relation between happiness. He also illustrates his opinion with some historical statistics. For instance, a poll from national opinion research centre, 38 % of those reporting five or more friends said they were very happy and 26 % of those reporting fewer than five friends were slightly happy. The author means that those who enjoy close relationships cope better with various stresses, including bereavement, rape, job loss, and illness.

Happiness

Happiness it is one of the factor that keep people alive. Many people believe that happiness is innate, and people can’t find during their life. However, this does not discourage many people that still think to find their happiness. Many old people saying that to be happy it is lack. In addition, happiness makes people to live longer. There is no beautiful thing to be happy almost every day. You won’t have stress, not to think too much, always think positive. Without happiness the life is without meaning. I believe that every one have a little opportunity to be a little happy in his life. Moreover, people should know how to find the happiness, even though they look the things in negative way.
