...explaining what it is to be ‘happy’ and ‘how you get there.’ As stated in the United States Constitution we are given “unalienable rights among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Happiness is something we as humans are entitled to and guaranteed as a right. Something so fundamental should be easy to come by, yet everywhere you turn there are signs and tips on how to be ‘A Happier person.’ Happiness, by definition is a state of being, not a destination. It is an essence that many people work so hard to define, capture and achieve, all the while jeopardizing the true state of being happy. For some, happiness is the sunshine on their face as they curl up in their favorite chair on the beach sipping a cold drink. For others it is a baby’s smile, or their first paycheck. As people go through their different stages of life they have different definitions of happiness and different means of being happy and achieving happiness. Happy is a state of mind and a temporary place, not an end goal or destination as many people feel happiness is. So many times people feel like if they could only lose those last 10 pounds, or get promoted, or watch their team win the Superbowl then is when they will be happy. Once happiness is achieved, then what? Do people move on to the next ‘happiness’ or are they just satisfied that happiness was achieved and go on living their lives never worrying about being happy again? “Disneyland is the Happiest Place on Earth.” That phrase is copyrighted...

...111 5th November 2015 My Happy Place: The Beach Every time I am at the beach, I am amazed even more than I was the first time. The beauty will never fade away. For over an hour each day, after school, I was really content. Cassie, my Schnauzer mix puppy and I would go to the beach, my happy place. We would just sit and stare at the sun while it set and enjoy our dinner. It was the most perfect and beautiful place ever. It was peaceful, tranquil, and calm. The sky was a nice combination of orange, purple, and blue shades. It drowned in the big, wide horizon with its golden rays glistening in the darkness like glitter. The clouds were fading from a shade of white to pale grey to black. The moon was illuminating, while peeking through the trees as the sun was descending. The clouds held the promise of a peaceful night. In the far left of the sky, there sat the big golden sun, slowly departing the sky to go behind the trees until it wasn’t able to be seen anymore. At that moment, it did not matter how upset or sad, or even depressed I was I was able to be at peace. Usually, I go to the beach barefoot and feel the sand come up between my toes and tickle my feet. I would bend down and touch the rough, rocky pavement as I walked Cassie. We would feel the wind gently wrap around our bodies and console us, taking us away from our troubles into our own personal paradise. We would be feeling extremely warm and cozy, scared to depart from our secret happy place because of the pain that...

...PsychOLOGY 1 | Before My Death | Summer 2014 | | | 7/14/2014 | “Every man's life ends the same way. It is only the details of how he lived and how he died that distinguish one man from another.” ― Ernest Hemingway | Since I am still a high school student, I have not yet achieved much. I still have many dreams and hopes that I am desperate to achieve. Some may be foolish while others are practical, either way I hope I have a chance to make my goals happen. According to the Death Clock I have until October 8, 2077 which will give me 63 years to try to live my life to the fullest. The first thing I want to accomplish is finish all of my schooling. That includes finishing high school, earning my under-graduate degree, completing an MD program, and finish the postgraduate residency program so I can become a Forensic Pathologist. Ever since I was a young girl, I have dreamed of working in the Forensics field. In that last two years I have decided I wanted to specifically become a Medical Examiner after giving it much thought. Even though most Forensic Pathologists have very unstable work hours, they have the highest pay and many cases provide a problem-solving challenge. My second goal would be to continually live a happy life. Though most people would think a happy life is something anyone easily can have, I believe it is not something one should take for granted. In the last couple of years of going to an all-girl high school, I have seen so...

...Motivational Methods Paper HCS/325 June 11, 2012 Susan Greenwood Motivational Methods Paper In this paper I have decided to tell you about three motivational techniques that I will implement into my staff. The three techniques that I will be going over are: targets, rewards, and incentives; make the work place fun; and using the P.E.R.F.O.R.M model to help increase potential. I will go into detail about what each technique entails and explain how each change will affect my organization. By the end of this paper you should have three more motivational techniques that you could consider for your organization as well. The first technique that we will be talking about is targets, rewards, and incentives. To do this you first have to know your team. In order to set out rewards and incentives you have to first understand what motivates your team and gets them set in working towards their goals that you have set out. The CV Centre. (1998-2012) states that “Motivating a team is always easier if you fully understand that they may not necessarily be motivated by the same things as you. The most effective teams are those that feel valued and supported but also feel that they are progressing and developing through the completion of challenging tasks. If a team understands company objectives, they are much more likely to want to work harder towards their achievement. Also, most people tend to respond well to being given the opportunity to make decisions and take on additional responsibilities...

...impact on my life that is simply difficult to match. A lot of my personality and resilience was created and encouraged by the songs and lyrics that I was exposed to from a very early age. Currently music is used as my escape; as a place that I can express myself and how I’m feeling through the artistry of others. To many people who create the music we listen to, their music and their expression through their lyrics is almost as important as breathing to them. Music feeds the soul and the heart in ways that many people can simply not explain. The infectious nature of music is what has helped maintain its existence around the world for centuries before and many...

...things better. You would be closer to one another, trust more in one another, and build a better relationship with one another. I have been with my partner for almost four years, and even though marriage is one thing on our list, we haven’t felt that it has been something we have to do right away. I have a four and a half year old daughter from a previous relationship. Since my partner and I have been together, it seems that the more time and time goes on, the more the four of us grow together as a family. There are some things about this article that I completely agree with and some that I will definitely disagree with as well. As twenty-three women who has lived with the same man for almost four years, and have risen a little girl together seems fair enough that I can consider myself basically married. There is no paper that states that, but I believe that our history and current state very well proves that. There are three main topics that this Harvard professor discusses and that is bottom line, being married and happy, money and finances, and marriage and kids. In my personal opinion I believe that I can give my opinion my Daniel Gilbert’s thoughts, because my life can be easily related to an ordinary marriage. In this article, the first point that Daniel Gilbert brings up is, “it’s not marriage that makes you happy, its happy marriage that...

...My Unforgettable Trip to California Mirna El Hadi American Intercontinental University English 106 Dr. Rebecca Coleman January 12, 2013 “My Unforgettable Trip to California” This past April, my friend and I took a five-day trip to California, where we visited San Francisco and the Napa Valley wine country. We flew out on a Friday morning and stayed in the Golden State until Wednesday afternoon. During our visit, we saw quite a bit of gorgeous scenery, ate some scrumptious food, and drank some tasty wine. All in all, it was a fun, relaxing, and memorable vacation. But the reason the getaway was truly memorable is because I lucky to spend such an amazing time where I got to enjoy an awesome weather visit some unforgettable places, and best of all, try new kinds of food, which is my favorite. “Cool Weather for a Vacation Pleasure” When it comes to San Francisco’s weather, all I can say is “Gorgeous.” I mean that many great aspects of our vacation that were beyond our control just happened to go in our favor. In San Francisco, for instance, the weather was absolutely beautiful, with sunshine, very few clouds, and mild temperatures. The city has a reputation for being foggy, chilly, and windy, so we were fortunate to experience the lovely weather while we were there. In addition, my friend and I went to Pier 51, which is “home” to some sea lions during certain times of the year. Though there are many times throughout the year that the sea lions are not present...

... Strategic Planning My vision is to open a new business, a craft museum for kids; a place where kids can come and find their creative side, while being taught to learn how to connect and master the arts. We value creativity and encourage kids to express themselves in a way never before done. People will care about my organization because it offers a chance to enhance a side of children that is not always encouraged or have the opportunity to experience. We will be a small company starting out. We offer payment plans, as well as package deals for families of all budgets. The three important services we offer every client, is to work with each child individually, and in group setting with teachers who will bring out the child’s creative side, no child shall ever be turned away due to non-payment, and we teach each child to learn how to express themselves fully through art, and their creative side. My organization will be different from the competition because we are not a babysitting drop off center for parents; we are not a school of fine arts, nor are we a therapist center, My main goal is to see the silly, creative, and goofy side of kids come out and they are able to express those feelings on papers, on the walls, and on the furniture! I foresee this company flourishing within the next 5 years. Once parents see how at ease, and relaxed, and silly their kids become from the experience of my organization, word will spread and will become known...

I have so many fantastic memories connected to this place and that´s the only place where I can find the inner me besides my home cause that´s the only two places where I feel safe and home.

...they all share a place deep in my heart.” Every moment, when I recall them in my mind, they appear to be fresh. I cannot make myself believe that I already passed those times and will never be in the same time again. A chill runs down my spine awaking all my senses till date when I remember them. I especially remember the time when I was able to make my whole family proud of me. That was the time when I saw my own future as I had wished that to be. Every time I think of it, it takes me on a voyage of happy moments. In my whole life; it is uncountable how many happy moments that I’ve gone through since I was small. Happy moments are something that made us very happy and it is unforgettable. It will never be erased out of our mind and we will always remind of it for the rest of our life. It might happen daily, weekly, monthly and even annually but it really happened. It makes us smile to the ears and sometimes it tears us down. I just can’t imagine how it feels if we don’t experienced all those happy moments. I was staring at the stars shining in the sky. The city was dark due to the scheduled power outage. People in city were in their mid-sleep but I was standing at the balcony, checking my emails. I was checking my email account after five long months.

...organisations. This discrimination can be of many types such as racial, gender, age or even if a person has some sort of disability. From what I have understood after reading the text, Susie Q was hired by a company called as Happy Smile Maxillofacial Surgery during her second day at work she was fired after her bosses found out that she was pregnant. After doing some research I have found that the Civil Act of 1964 is basically a law which stops discrimination of any kind while Title VII of this Act deals with discrimination in the place of work. In 1978 there was an addition to the Civil Act Title VII where discrimination on the basis of pregnancy was also added and this change was called Pregnancy Discrimination Act. So through this change to Civil Act the dismissal of Susie Q can be considered as going against this law. The question regarding if it was legal to fire Susie Q is a tough question because there are two sides to this story with both sides having valid points. Well first of all if we look at this problem from Susie Q and the EEOC’s side then it is illegal to fire Susie Q because she is protected by the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. Also that she applied and got accepted for the job of a receptionist and as a scheduler. This, in my opinion is not a very demanding job and I think that if Susie Q would have gotten the chance she would have easily completed the duties of her job while she was still pregnant. Another thing that Susie Q can claim is that her...
