Living Life And Loving Life

The Other Wes Moore is a compelling book about two kids named Wes Moore who grew up in the same rough neighborhood in the Bronx, New York. Although both grew up with their mothers one grew up to become a successful author, and the other is imprisoned for life. The Other Wes Moore should be taught to high school students because among the many themes and social issues throughout the book it shows readers that no matter your circumstances you can grow up to do and be whatever you want; however, they can also determine who you will be. This means that you can grow up from nothing, but if you work hard to get to the top then you can accomplish anything. That you should not let other people or surroundings influence your

Is it better to live a life that is long and mundane or one that is short but fulfilling? It is a question with no right answers. The hope for a number of us is to live both a long and fulfilling life, but hope can only take you so far. Death, like life, is one of those inevitable things that we cannot control. You can fight it or even try to control it, but more often than not, it is not going to work out the way you want it to. The only control that you have, is to live the life that you desire, so when the time comes, you can leave this world peacefully, knowing you have lived your life.

How does Lear’s remark “I am a man more sinn’d against than sinning” reflect his development as a human being within the play?

You should live every day like it is your last, you should take every good oppurtunity that you can daily. If you seize the day, then you are living your life to the fullest. You don't know when you will leave this earth. If you want something, like to go skydiving then you should do it. If you have the oppurtunity don't waste it. For example, I went to church camp about four years ago, it was an amazing oppurtunity and I was very fortunate to go. I am glad I went because life is short, and I don't know if I would've had that oppurtunity again, I seized the day.

To ensure the safety of your own personal health and the health of your family, it is best to eat a low fat, highly nutritious diet. It is best to do all of your grocery shopping around the outside of the grocery store. The processed and preserved foods being dumped into society, disease, and life-threatening illness became commonplace. Everyone seems to know a person who has lost their life or a loved one to the epidemic caused by poor diet in American culture. There have been movements such as vegetarians and vegans as well as gluten free efforts for people to work on improving themselves from the inside out. However, some of the zealots of any cause can give the actual ideology a bad name. It is important to take care of yourself and your

In my own time, I am curious about the aspect of being able to expand your life span. The one video that caught my attention is the Ageing 101 video. The reason it got me thinking about aging is because the first fact which is that “Most older adults think their health is good”. I would think of the perspective of my own, I would believe they would believe they are so close to the end that their attitude of their health would depreciate. Being positive about yourself will bring your feeling of being invisible to death. That’s why the older men and women that live up to over 100 years are still strong. The positive attitude and environment is expanding their life. I had always told myself I would be happy just to be 50 years old and that’s how far I would love to live. The idea of being able to live longer, maybe to 100 years old just by basically living life to the fullest through positive reinforcement, brings a different perspective of longevity. I knew that taking care of our physical self can help with longevity, but now I know our mentality of aging must be taken care of just as much as physical. The idea of aging through this course so far has gave me positive feelings of the normal action of our life expectancy and kept me wonder about the phycological aspect of growing

Two professors from Harvard University tested why happiness can make one live longer. Both explained how you manage your stress and feelings is a key factor. Which is also known as “toxic stress”, it all starts out as a child how you deal with situations such as violence neglect, single parent etc. All has an effect on your brain, organ system, heart rate, high blood pressure, and high stress hormones. Laura Kubzansky says “It looks like there is a benefit of positive mental health that goes beyond the fact you’re not depressed…” In her 2007 study she examined 6000 men and women ages 25-70 for twenty years. She found they felt hope, enthusiasm, and engaged in life with the ability to face stress healthily. Which is also shown to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. Among her many years of studies she has found children with the ability to stay focused on task with a positive outlook by the age of seven generally can reduce at least thirty illnesses. Optimism alone that cuts the risk coronary heart disease by half. Partially because when happy you let off a hormone called oxytocin, which is beneficial in heart health. Kubzansky says “to find a restorative state that allows them to put down their burdens” and earlier stated to find a social support. So all in all happiness can help your health and even make you live longer depending on how you manage

One of the keys to living a long and happy life is being physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy.

A dear friend couldn’t help to gasp when I uttered my plan on taking two years off from career to pursue master degree abroad. I remember her words vividly, “So you will leave your spot to someone younger, brighter and most probably hotter just like that?” I also remember what was my answer; it was simply “yes.” Don’t get me wrong I absolutely love my job.
