Smile a lot, be compassionate and respect people.
I mean it. It may seem trivial but it is not. I am not a very happy cheerful fellow. I have my lows and can be downright depressed sometimes. But whenever I meet a new person, talk to someone I make it a point to smile nowadays.
Imagine going to a Tea stall run by an old lady. She probably is already having a hard time with her life. There is no need for me to be morose when I am around her. Whenever I go to buy something, even talk to people who don't play an active part in my life I always put up my best cheerful self. It is my small way of spreading happiness in the world. I like to chat for sometime too. Ask how they are and what is going on in their lives.
Most of the people I

I am off mobile net since the last 2-3 months. I can't tell you how much it has changed my life.
- You enjoy the moments even more when you don't keep taking irritating pictures, tag people and announce the world you are having a good time.
- I used to spend a lot of time reading about acquisitions on Hacker News, linked in headlines, flipboard, my own news feed, mails and feed from blogs I follow. I do that now too. But on my home wi fi late at night when I am done with all my work.
- I don't have to feel guilty about not replying to people on different chat messengers like earlier. Nor I have to go through tons of useless group notifications which don't add any value to my life.
- I have installed Aldiko Ebook Reader instead and whenever I get time I read books on that.
Meet new people whenever and where ever you can
I realized the importance of networking when I was in college. Before that I was this Howard Roark figure from Fountainhead who thought that he would manage to survive without needing the help of anyone. I was too sure of myself. But I changed this approach in college. There I never shied away from meeting new people there and as my life has progressed I have understood the importance of human relationships.
My first job offer was rescinded because I did not join as per the date mentioned on the offer letter.
A friend from college let me stay in his house as I sorted out my shit.
Next day I was in the office of one of the biggest
Nowadays, there are many people who are addictive to technology very much, especially some social networks, like Facebook. An article from World Academy of Science, Engineering, and Technology shows that, “Facebook has become an essential part of many people’s lives. Surveys have shown that 71.2% of Internet users in the U.S. are also Facebook users, and that almost adolescents check Facebook first thing in the morning. Facebook ranked first in a survey of the 100 most popular websites in Taiwan. Nearly 90% of the Facebook population is made up of students, particularly university students”. At the same time, we have to notice that technology brings us a lot of fun. For example, communication has been made easier and the Internet has brought email and chatting facilities. Instead of sending letters to respective destinations, it is very easy to send an e-mail, which will be received instantly. New technology makes people to contact each other easily. If you are very busy and have no time to see your parents, you can call them or text them anytime, even during the 10 minutes break of the meeting. If you go to other country to study or work, and get far from your friends, you can have Internet video with them, in this way you can see them easily. All of those I said are the benefits and convenience that new technology bring us. In this way, technology makes people get closer, but not be alone. Without new technology, people have to see each other face to face or
You feel happy when you are optimistic. This can result in you feeling more energetic, give you brighter eyes, and bring you success and happiness. You also walk with more confidence and have a stronger voice. Also, your positivity can spread to others, however, any negativity can also spread. Some ways to be positive are to not allow what other people say about you get to you. Other ways are to smile more, try to only visualize positive things, use positive words when talking to people, and don’t give up. (Sasson, The Power of Positive Thinking, Paragraphs 1, 14, 22, 23, 24, 25, and 27) These are great examples of why you would want to be optimistic and respond to conflict with positivity.
to be in contact with old and new friends. From liking someone’s post to posting your own
When you interact with other people, you always gain something. Whether it’s working together towards a common goal, or just simply the wonderful feeling of inclusion. Nobody likes to be excluded from a social group, especially when you are interested in their purpose. Without our silly little clicks, we wouldn’t be able to learn and grow. Working together and joining “tribes” is what helps build a community and make it
I have had a plethora of unique life experiences, many of which have happened in the last couple years of my life. In the past three years I have traveled to Guatemala, all over Germany, and Hawaii. During the summer of my freshman year of High School, I went on a missions trip to Guatemala. My church took 10 boys, and 10 girls; we spent a total of a week in a small impoverished town called . I believe that this trip allowed me, for the first time, to see, and be enveloped in a new culture. During the trip I ate new foods, played new games, and learned about the Guatemalan culture. I was able to spend time with all of the local kids, and learn how to respect a new culture. Then, this last summer, I was able to take a part in a German Exchange program with my school. After taking 3 years of German in High School, I was one of twenty people selected to go on a three-week long exchange program in Germany. The trip consisted of a week traveling with the 20 people chosen to go. The other two weeks were spent living with my host family and German partner. During my stay there I visited Berlin, Munich, Cologne, and traveled to the Netherlands. This was another chance for me to experience a new culture, and to further my German speaking skills. However, more importantly, it allowed me to make lifelong friends in another part of the world. About a month after I got back from Germany, my family went on a 12 day vacation to Hawaii. During my time there I had the opportunity to do a
Showing a positive attitude can make dealing with a conflict much easier. An example of this would be Anne Frank during world war 2 when she kept a journal. In her writings she refers her journal as “Kitty” as if she were writing to a friend and keeps her writing formal. Anne Frank also writes in light and happy tone writing things like “ It's more like being on vacation in some strange pension” in paragraph 18 and “It looks much more cheerful” in paragraph 19 when she is hiding in a damp lopsided building.This shows even though Anne is in a terrible position she remains positive, thinking only about the good. As a
I tend to take life with a more positive and optimistic approach. Many people have commented on the way I carry myself with my upbeat and happy mood. I contribute these qualities to my choice of being positive. Believing that the vibes I exude is what I shall receive. Negativity festers on the inside and promotes nothing but more negativity. Starting each day with a positive affirmation helps me begin a successful day. Positive thinking encourages people to be happier and healthier and I am a firm believer in that.
The benefits of it all are outstanding. The fact that we can use the internet to connect with
Do you know the leaders and players in your world? What is the world you inhabit? Who is your tribe? They may be mentors or former colleagues or students. You keep in touch with them via social media and by sending relevant professional articles and information. You actively maintain a personal network where you live and work, as well as a long distance network. Meeting and greeting in your town can add another perspective to your career and industry reputation.
There are times in this world when rolling out of bed and putting on a brave face is the only thing that seems sensible enough to get you through the day. You slurp down your morning cup of coffee, glare at yourself in the mirror, and wonder what’s the point of it all? Why am I living my life half exhausted wandering from place to place doing what I’m told when I’m told to make myself a living? This is exactly how a pessimist often thinks;, they tend to see only the worst in a scenario or believe that only the lowest possible situation will happen. I have chosen not to live my life like that, I have chosen to not only try to lead each day with a positive mind and a healthy attitude, but I have also decided to spread optimism to others by the simple gestures such as a smile. I will admit that at times being an optimistic person isn’t always easy because
Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck’s film The Lives of Other’s (2005) is set in East Berlin during the socialist reign from November 1984, up until the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989. The political context plays a significance role not only in the film’s subject matter but also in its cinematography, which exploits the voyeuristic tendencies of the audience, reflecting the surveillance of the Stasi Secret Police officers. The film follows a loyal socialist and playwright, Georg Dreyman who becomes subject (along with actor girlfriend Christa-Maria Sieland) to extensive Stasi surveillance due to his association with subversive artists such as Paul Hauser and Albert Jerska. Hauptman Gerd Weisler is the accomplished Stasi officer assigned to
not knowing exactly where to turn and what to do. But one thing has been consistent, staying informed of the world around me, this may sound very cliché but it’s very true and dear to me. One way I make sure of this is not by just reading the latest materials that interest me such as Feldman, N. (2013). Cool War The Future of Global Competition. New York. Media and social networking sites have made it much more simpler and easier to stay connected with the world around us.
My life has been a crazy roller coaster with many events that have affected my life all in different ways. There have been times where my life has been at its highest peak in the world then it falls down, right into a deep valley. From the time my lovable younger sister came into my life to when my grandpa had a near death experience, I have learned many valuable lessons through the rough times as well as the more happy times. When I was a young girl, my mom had always told me the same thing over and over again. I never really thought about how a few words would have a deep effect on me in a short amount of time.
WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE WE EXPERIENCE PLEASANT AND HAPPY FEELINGS. THIS BRINGS BRIGHTNESS TO THE EYES, MORE ENERGY, AND HAPPINESS. OUR WHOLE BEING BROADCASTS GOOD
I can remember as a child always asking myself the "why" questions of life. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? Why do certain things happen? And is there really a God? I had always kept these questions to myself and eventually pushed them out of my mind altogether. I was raised in a Christian household and you just were not allowed to ask questions of that nature and doubt the faith. The world is the way it is because God made it that way and that is all there is to it. I was really excited to take this class because it would finally give me the opportunity to exercise my personal thoughts and beliefs. I have come to agree with Socrates that "the unexamined life is not worth living." In my opinion life is a combination of
