Dear Class,
These next two weeks we will be working on cause essays and effect essays. I have been thinking about the concept (idea) of happiness and its causes. I think that it comes from inside a person, not from others. I am happy because I have a loving close family, I feel healthy and I have a great job. What about you? What makes you feel happy?
Please respond by Friday at noon to get full credit.
Hello.
ReplyDeletein this case I'm totally agree with you. The feeling of happiness is coming inside of person. Personally, for me the happiness is my own family and my mother. I am happy because I have MOTHER who one of the best human being in the world. When I'm talking with them my feeling become much better. My 1st daughter said me," Dad you are in my heart, even if you far away from us, and nobody cannot rob you from there." Is it happiness? I'm sure it is. Also, I'm happy because I'm studying here in the US.

You are so lucky to have a wonderful mother and I'm glad that you are able to speak with them frequently. This is important!

Hi Ellen,
ReplyDeleteThis is Ryosuke.Before getting married, happiness was to earn high salary and incentives for me.I mean,I used to think that happiness is coming from outside and created by myself. But my definition about happiness was already changed. Wherever my wife and son are,to talk with them makes me happy and comfortable. And also it is so happy for me to see my son growing day by day.
Ryosuke- It is really amazing how one's view about life changes after marriage and having a child. I am happy for you.

Actually a lot of things bring happiness, and each one has different organization. The first thing brings happiness to me is my family. Then, to get a nice job that has high salary. Next, when I get married from my angle. The last but not least when my wife and I have our first child.
I am glad your family brings you happiness and that you have a lot of things to look forward to in life!

hi ellen
ReplyDeletethis is li.this topic is very significant.99% person will explain happiness with family.that is the fact.people feel contentedly When we were kids lived with parents and fell the sense of responsibility and fell satisfaction when we become a father.
but the happiness from our own family is a Simple Little Happiness.i believe Warren Buffett and Inamori Kazuo fell more happiness than us.why?
because their happiness is a large happiness.This happiness is not confined to a small family.but a bility to bring happiness to a group of person.
so,i think benevolence or lovingkindness.To reflect our values, to do our best Bring some good things to the world.is what i thought about happness.
What you wrote is a little confusing, Li. I do think though that bringing happiness to others is a wonderful attitude.

I agree with you that happiness comes from inside a person. If a person don't want to be happy, nobody can't make him happy by any way. When you have to keep aloof from your family and friend, absolutely you feel unhappy. However you can do some things like playing sport, make new friend, and work harder, you will feel better.
I agree with you, Giang. Doing things to keep you active can be important in one's happiness.
DeleteHi Ellen
ReplyDeleteI like how you see the happiness. I agree that its sometimes comes from the inside, but I can see the happiness from outside also which comes from the family who always support you and be with you that makes me feel stronger and comfortable. Also I feel happy when I do something successfully . My definition of happiness is the feeling of success . Also when I think about people who aren't able to do or own things that I have I thank god for this blessing or gift that makes me happy. There are a lot of things could make a person happy even though he has many problems in life.

I think that the most of happiness comes from inside the person. And if we concentrate more we will find that forgiveness is one of the most reasons. then comes the world around the person after the what in side him, like family,friends and activities.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little child, I thought happiness was that my father could bring many toys when he came back from different cities. When I was a junior high school student, the last week's weekends per month were the most happy day for me. Because I studied in other city, in that weekends, I could went home. Then, after the senior high school, happiness was a period of time for me. Every night, I went home with my girlfriend. We could laugh and talk all the way. Now, happiness has become simple. If I can enrich my daily life, and have a short rest to contact with my friends, I will feel happy totally. In fact, it is not something makes people happy. On the contrary, people should do something, in order to enjoy their life.

ReplyDeleteWhen the people that i hold nearest to my heart are happy then im happy, other than that, i really feel happy when i accomplish something that i've been working hard on, and im happy to have this opportunity.
activities that make me feel happy:
1- playing basketball
2- listening to Frank Sinatra
3- talking to my friends, Arabic or foreign.
and of course: good grades *wink wink*
Haha just kidding im really here to learn
and it would mean the world to me miss Ellen if you would read my bio that i've been working on over the summer, as you would notice any mistakes and maybe we can work on those mistakes in class.
Hi Miss Ellen,Hi 50c guys
ReplyDeleteI really think that what you think gives you happiness is usual because, its what usually women needs to be happy and spacial the mothers. And i think what makes you happy is easy to be done.
And about me what makes me happy is to see my family, friends and people that i love in a good situation with a good health because usually i live for people and to see them in happiness. And some times i like to have fun with me friends and family by having a chat with them. And the most place makes me happy is the sea in me country Qatar.

Hi everyone in the class
ReplyDeleteI always have a happiness when I took to my family. In my country I feel happy when I take my nephew to see the camels and have fun. so, when I feel sad I call my mother or someone in my family after that I feel happy and the sadness goes away. The life without happiness nothing.

Hi every one
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments guys as you said family distance is the most important effect, but I think there are another things could affect to my happiness. Such as, after I finish my homework, i feel happy and comfortable because when I finish my homework I do not worry about it anymore.

Happiness is important in your life. if we do not be happy we might died. What make me happy is when i know that all who i love is great, when i become successful, and having fun with friends. i like that when you are happy you do not be mean to others. you can make so much friends just because you a happy person.
