What are some things most people live life without enjoying? Most of the time, it is the small things in life. Many people go through life, focusing on a big grand picture, but fail to enjoy the little moments in life that make them happy for just a second or will amuse them for awhile. In my opinion, if you live life worrying about what people think about you, or changing your lifestyle to fit in then you are not really enjoying life.
I know this to be true because when I first moved to Heath, I was trying to fit in with people and made myself more like them rather than show them who I truly am. I realized quickly that if they didn’t like me for me then they were not the people I should hang out with. When I got into high school, I was acting more like myself and was enjoying the little things that made me laugh or made others laugh. That ranged from being able to crack a joke sometimes to even just enjoying the music in the library and dancing a little to have some fun. I really think that no matter what we do in life there should always be some time to do things that are just fun and they don’t have to be on a big scale of events.
One of the things I do is I compete in different athletic events, and there are times that the guys from the team will all go do something and I will just take off and go on my own and sit to watch the world around me, listening as the world carries on. Something I know that I am guilty of is living life in the fast lane and not realizing
Life is delicate and can be cut short at anytime. There are some that are so focused on money and climbing the ranks that they miss out on experiencing the various opportunities life gives them. Instead of living, they merely exist and often become blinded to the fact that their life and educational goals are one in the same. They lose the social interaction from the outside world and become secluded. As for me, my life aspiration is to be happy with what I do, who I am, and live life to the fullest. Not taking one moment for granted and being grateful for everything I have. For me, I believe the key to enjoying life is making the best of what I have at the moment and showing gratitude towards the ones I meet outside of my career. Spending time with family and friends helps reconnect me with the world and enjoy the ones that surround me. Also, I try not to let one mistake affect me to the point where the fear of making an error prevents me from growing and becoming better. Of course, mistakes happen, but they do not define me as a person nor do they dictate my life. Life is too beautiful to not be happy and I plan to enjoy every moment until the
Like the alcohol Prohibition in the 1920s, which was intended to banish certain substances from society, recent drug prohibition has yielded the same results. For years, the United States drug policy has taken the approach of detaining and arresting anyone who can be connected with illegal drugs. The failures of prohibition are painfully obvious: unnecessary deaths, severe violence, wasted money, soiled opportunities. The ‘war on drugs’ remains the greatest violation and threat to our civil liberties and the preservation of the Bill of Rights. Since the upswing of illicit drug use in the 1960’s, the presidents of the United States have repeatedly produced policies that deem highly ineffective. An increase in presidential power is needed to
According to an article in the New York Times, aging wisely is all about how you feel, your attitude, health and how productive you are. Therefore if we have a positive attitude as we age we will tend to take better care of ourselves, exercise and eat healthy. Graham mentions in the article that the stereotype that as we age we become useless the attitude can become that person. On the other hand if there is satisfaction and production the older adult is more likely to work hard to be healthy and may even recover more easily from illness (Graham, 2012)
The Great War pitted the Allied Powers of Great Britain, France, Italy, Russia, and the United States of America, against the Central Powers, a confederation formed by Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire. The Austro-Hungarian Nation led the opening volley of this war, later known as World War I, through a hostile action against Serbia on July 28, 1914 and their subsequent effort to acquire allies in this aggression. The Ottoman Empire and Germany joined Austria-Hungary to form the Central Powers on August 1st, despite the Ottoman Empire’s reluctance to acknowledge their support. Importantly, the Central Powers required the aid of the Ottoman Empire as they controlled a significant amount of land with oil reserves. The early 20th
After I read the quote “Why should we live with such a hurry and waste of life,” in Walden, I realized that we go through life without enjoying the small things that we are given. Looking back, a conversation I once had with a friend can directly relate to this. We were in so much of a hurry to go that we didn't have a good conversation. It turned out that next day she moved and I was never going to speak to her after that day.
“How, then should I live my life”? What constitutes a well-lived life in today’s society? Everyone has a different perspective about how an individual must live a well-lived life. Every individual has a unique life purpose. What might be considered important to one, might not be important to the other individual. For instance, acquiring a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree or even a doctorate degree might be valuable in certain families while in others acquiring a high school diploma is sufficient. Even though, life is full of choices, individuals have different priorities in life. An individual must decide what matters the most, one cannot ignore certain issues if an individual wants a peaceful life. Living a well-lived life is characterized by focusing on one’s personality, live the present, creating
Living life to the fullest is not owning a multi-million dollar house, having millions of twitter followers, or being an a-lister. High schoolers get enveloped with the idea that popularity and becoming successful in life is the most important thing to strive for. Don’t get me wrong wanting to have many friends and obtain a sufficient career isn’t wrong, but striving for the celebrity, TMZ- type life is ridiculous. When my youth group volunteered at Salvation Army, I experienced what real content looked like. They were wonderful, good-hearted people that didn’t own anything, but they loved life and they loved talking to new people. Associating with people that have nothing and can truly appreciate their life is admirable because I overlook how blessed I am. I live in a nice apartment. I possess a bed, filling amount of food, and warmth. I obtain a majority of my wants. I’m satisfied with life, but momentarily I forget that I maintain a lot of materialistic items. At the end of the day, the sleazy items don’t matter, the money doesn’t matter because family and friends company should fulfill any void. Owning materialistic items isn’t prominent because when we all die, nothing is going with
What makes life worth living? To build a life that's worth living, we have to all work together, be kind, learn more and be smart, we need to go get some money. We can all build a life that's worth living, we need to help and love each other not hate. We live in a real bad world of hate, killing, racism, kidnapping, bullying and many more horrible things. It's crazy what we go through and do in this world.

As a young adult, it is really difficult to define what a good life is. A “Good life” it's an expression that is interpreted differently by every individual. However, my humanities class helped me clarify my thoughts about how the term “good life” could be defined. A good life is living with ambition and creating new experiences with the ones you love the most. For me, a good life not only consist of me reaching my goals but it also lies on helping the people around me to reach their goals. Having the right values and priorities complement a gratifying life. During this journey, I have learned that analyzing several situations can lead to a great way of associating ideas and understanding certain events that take place in my life. Medicine is a very rigorous field of study, therefore I must hold the concept of a good life in order to achieve my goals and keep my priorities in the right order. Humanities has been a great base for me to develop the right mindset to pursue my career. For instance, the modules: “The True Purpose of a Liberal Education,” “Morality and Ethics,” “Happiness,” “Nature,” and “Life Affirmation,” were the ones that made the most significant impact on my perspective in life.
According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, life is the sequence of physical and mental experiences that make up the existence of an individual. While the definition is technically correct, life is a force so complex that it cannot be governed by technicality and should be’s. Life is a journey that people embark upon because they are on a quest to discover the answer to their questions. The routes they take are determined by the question they are trying to answer. Many people spend their lives trying to answer the question, “What is life?’. In a way, this is a waste of time because “What is life?” is not the important question. Many people fail to realize that they never answer “What is life?” because they inadvertently gather evidence and conduct research to answer “What do I want in life?”. One’s answer to this question becomes his or her compass. The direction the person travels next depends on if he or she thinks that that road will result in him or her obtaining what he or she wants. The journey may seem obstacle-ridden and problematic; however, the true problem arises when one is at the crossroads of obtaining what he or she wants. Paradise Lost’s Eve proves that if one’s wants are the product of greed, he or she will suffer a great fall and end up with nothing; The Flea’s love interest proves that if one’s want is the result of wanting better for oneself, then he or she will simply experience an opportunity cost.
In my lifetime I have met lots of different people. Different races, genders, religions,and everything in between. One person in particular who has made the biggest impact on me goes by the name, Adrian. Adrian represents everything that I strive to be in life. Adrian to me symbolizes a person who works hard, happiness even when life is tough, and my career.
“We live by hope. We do not always get all we want when we want it. But we have to believe that someday, somehow, some way,it will be better and that we can make it so.” Hubert H. Humphrey. I am a true believer that as humans we interpret things completely different from one another no matter how ¨simple¨ a phrase or something may be. I interpret this quote as tomorrow will be better. I guess you can say I am one who tends to live in the future rather than the present. I am Rajveer Sahota and this is a little insight on me.
“ The time has come” mark 1:15 (For God so loved the world that he sent his only son to die on the cross for us, for all who believes will not perish but live to eternal life John 3:16) This is when I found out what it really means. I also found out who our real father is….. Do you know? statement
When I was in fourth grade, the age of ten, I was an insecure little girl. I would be embarrassed by the littlest things. If I did not sit up straight in class, have the latest new clothes or have the coolest new gadgets as everyone else. I felt very different than everyone else. My parents were not happily married like everyone else. But there was something very different about me when I would run I would have sharp knife jabbing pains in my right foot, so I would run with a skip in between each stride. Mainly after school when I got home after gym class. I would cry to my mom the sharp knife pains and how I got picked on for how I ran. I would complain for endless hours. Once my mom got sick and tired of hearing about my pains she decided to take me to the podiatrist.
