Asi “Collision chance: Moderately likely.” I hear its prediction in my ear and look forward. I stop the car at the light. It was green when I last looked. Thank god for Asi. I don’t know what I would do without her. “Collision chance: Unlikely.” All is good then. You can never be too careful when downtown, especially with how people drive in the business quarter. The billboards flash all around the car: “Drink Qoka Kola!” “The New Kar-brand Car: Get there!” “Asi: The Assistant of the Future!” “Eat Super-Corp’s newest berry – sponsored by Meleey Circus!” The light goes green and I drive forward, ignoring Asi’s latest crash prediction. Morning drives are the best part of the day, because it gives one time to think. Most people think about what …show more content…
I begin to slow down and let the car on the right merge in. He offers a wave of thanks. I merge to the right and begin to make a right turn into the work parking lot. “High chance of available parking spot.” I’d say so. There aren’t many people who work at Eco-You, let alone in accounting for the company. I pull in to the closest parking spot. “High chance of car damage by passing vehicle in space.” Oh, right. It’s next to the entrance. Thank god for Asi. I pull out of the space and drive into the middle parking spot. “Based on stock performance of Eco-You Inc., chance of layoff is low.” What a relief. I’ve been a good employee here, but I know that’s not all that matters. I’m an accountant, after all; and you can’t put a number to “goodness.” I head into the building and start my work. Work for me is a joy. A job that makes me write reports about numbers, ask Asi about numbers, talk to clients about numbers, and tell my boss about the numbers was all I could ask …show more content…
I went for a walk around downtown after work instead of heading to the car. It’s all so simple. We made it so simple. Follow what’s statistically best and you’ll do great! What else is there to ask for? That’s how you become happy, by doing what everyone else is doing. What is everyone else doing? Whatever is most optimal for them, of course. An optimized life is a good

The most universal goal every human has in common is the pursuit of happiness or “creation or construction of happiness” (Achor, 78). To be able to fulfill this wish of becoming happy, people often think the key to achieving happiness is success. In the book, The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor, he debunks this theory of success leading to happiness by illustrating the reverse theory of success. Through dozens of studies and experiments as forms of evidence, the author argues that an individual needs to achieve happiness in order to be truly successful. Achor 's argument is valid in that happiness should come before success because there is a clear advantage to being successful in an individual’s work life, personal sphere, and liveliness if they are happy first and foremost.
The commercial then cuts to a bus filled with clowns. They are throwing around pie and goofing around in the back, while one of the pies strikes the bus driver causing him to be temporarily blinded. Doing so, he blindly tries to turn into the next aane where a brand new Audi A4 is passing. Due to Audi’s steering technology and quality handling, The
My hand was shaking as I reached for the door knob on the driver’s side. After I ducked my head into the car, I adjusted my seat. The seat moved forward at the pace of a snail that just woke up. I still couldn’t see the road ahead very well and slid my foot underneath myself to raise my eye level up, but then decided that wasn’t safe to do. Then I placed my left foot flat on the car floor and gripped the steering wheel. The feeling of sweat starting to gather between my knuckles made me even more nervous. Lowering the rear-view mirror was no help to my ability to see the incoming cars better because it was too dark to see anything beyond the light beam of the brake
I turn and start walking back down the walkway towards the street. I look over my shoulder and give a wave before running down the street to a nearby park that was empty. I stop in the
When you own a business, you are always considering risks. Your goal is to mitigate risks that can threaten your business profits while taking advantage of opportunities that maximize profits. Unfortunately, many business owners who run retail establishments miss an opportunity to eliminate threats to their business, like failing to restore a damaged parking lot.
"I am such an idiot! It must be one of those self-driven cars! But where could I possibly be going?" I want to just get out of this car, but I haven't the faintest idea of how to stop it, mostly I've never been in a self-driving car before. I decide to climb into the passenger seat so that I can look at the controls. I see a button and I have to wonder if it's the button I press to make it stop, so I press it. Fortunately, the car stops, I unlock the car doors, and I get out. I look around to see where I might be, and in all honesty, I have no clue where I am, so I check to see if I have my phone, and thankfully, I do. I try to call Mark, but he fails to answer, so I try calling
The only thing that matters is the amount of happiness and unhappiness that is caused. Therefore the right actions are those that produce the highest ratio of happiness over
We are still students but almost everybody of us has been working somewhere. I have few simple questions for you. So what motivates you? What do you expect from your current position? What do you think are the most important aspects to a job?
Blake parks the car in a free space and then we climb out and meet at the back. I silently watch as he opens the boot lid and grabs a folded picnic blanket out, then quickly closes the car and locks the door. He starts walking forwards, so I quickly run three steps so that I can
He simply nodded and turned back to the road. I saw the needle and the welcome to Seattle sign.
Parking is located approximately six and one-half miles beyond the entrance station on Hetch Hetchy Road. (GPS Coordinates: N37° 48.62 ' W120° 17.99 ')
Daydreaming while looking through the window, I did not realize that the taxi driver was not taking the usual route to my house. I firmly grasped my phone and my things in case of any
Every day when I come in, I first check my planner to make sure I am aware of everything that is due. I then clean up around the facility, which varies in time depending on how dirty the site is. When a patient comes in for an appointment, I stand or sit
