...good and bad moments. Each day in itself brings various moments in life. Every day we go through mixed feelings. Sometimes, only we have experienced a pure jovial moment or a pure sad moment. Everyone also has the special moment in life. It is just a day when someones dreams are fulfilled. With the time the memories just get blurred, but stays with us in our mind. Whenever, we remember such moments we get excited and thrilled. I remembered the day and date it was 22nd Oct 2008.It was Monday morning. I was at my home, having a morning tea. I was much tensed that morning; it was the day of my final BDS result. As the results of all other three classes have been arrived. So, I was eagerly waiting for my results. At last, the day of my results arrived. As all my exams had gone pretty well, I have also scored good marks in case studies. However, I was still nervous regarding my results. As I was dreaming about my results while taking a sip of tea; suddenly the phone rang and I was so excited as my mom told me it was my friends phone. I ran towards phone likewise, I was running in the marathon. I grabbed the phone from mom and started missile of questions on my friend. From the other end my friend shouted at me and suggested me to keep calm and allow her to speak. She said that I was passed with first class. Listening this I shouted, Oh Really!!! My mother came running towards me, she was so happy. She started crying and gave me a tight hug. She said, I am so happy my child, you fulfilled...

... A moment of my life Everyone has been change by only one moment. How did you feel just in one moment? Did you exciting the moment that first kiss with your boyfriend or girlfriend? Did you indignant the moment that you want to hit someone's face? Did you feel heart-broken the moment that someone passes away? However, everyone in their life faces the ups and downs. Sorrows and pleasures are two parts of life. In fact, life is full of bad as well as good incidents. Some of them are forgotten with the passage of time while others leave an everlasting impression on the mind. We don't forget them for the whole of our life. We enjoy the moments of pleasure while the moments of sorrow plunge us into despair. We cherish the moments of pleasure throughout our life. Such a moment came to me when I took the airplane from China to United State that was the first flight in my life. It was really happy and memorable moment. I came to United State with my family. This was our first time to take an airplane. Although I was exciting when I first take the airplane, however I know I will missed all my friends in China. They are wonderful that they studied with me, they went shopping with me, they went to eat with me, they were happy when I was happy, and they were sad when I was sad. After I went to United State, I couldn't see them anymore. I felt sad because I missed my friends and I didn't have any friends in America. Also, I was sad because I spoke Chinese with my friends in China...

...just my typical lifestyle. Never without someplace to be or something to do leaves me constantly stressed and awfully tired, but it is just what it takes to live the exciting life that I crave. The pressure and expectations I put on myself are high,but it is just the price to pay to ensure the best possible future for myself. When my parents were growing up, their standards and dreams were much more traditional and had much less pressure and competitiveness. Their idea of the American dream was to go to college to get a good job, get married and have kids, and live a successful, happy life. Both of them had to work hard to get where they are now and eventually fulfilled their dreams. The reality of the American dream now is that we don’t all live for the same dream and instead all strive for...

...writing assignments in school but none of them really had an impact on my life until the summer before junior year in high school. That summer was a terrible summer for me. Nothing went the way I had hoped and I was unhappy. My boyfriend and I broke up the night before my last exam. I would talk to my friends about it but I felt like it became too much for them. I knew they wanted to make me happy so they would listen but I didn’t feel right about putting them through it so I started writing. Whenever I needed a break from everyone around me, I would grab a piece of paper and a pen and just start pouring my thoughts onto paper. It was usually about how I was going through a tough time, which now seems increasingly petty, but at that time paper was my confidant. I wrote everything, even if it was a paragraph, or even barely a line. I used to transfer all the bad thoughts in my mind onto paper and just leave it there. I substituted my friends for paper. Paper wouldn’t talk back or tell me that it wasn’t god for me. It would just listen, absorb, and always be there. And that’s when I fell in love with writing. This is when writing became a habit. When I got over irrelevant boyfriend issues, I still had that craving to write something, anything, so I started writing about my day. If I had had a bad day, I would sit with my book and pen and just write till I overcame the bad thoughts. Those rare but sweet moments when I would go into a stream of consciousness showed me glimpses of...

...talked to him and got him to relax. I told him there are plenty of solutions to keep yourself happy and to stay away from depression. My solutions consisted of hanging out with your friends, Playing games or watch your favorite shows or to have happy thoughts. If I ever get depressed I typically go straight to my friends. Having friends around helps because they do anything to make people happy. Talking to our friends makes us forget about the depression we go through and makes us think about others for a change. Thinking about others can lead to changes in action upon depression such as suicide. If you think about what your friends might go through if you die you most likely won’t commit to such course of action. You’ll choose to live on for them and start doing all you can to make yourself happy. Usually when I’m down in the blues ill tend to play some video games or watch anime. Games and anime keep me distracted from what goes on in reality and keeps my attention on what’s going on in the show or game. This keeps me happy and then some. It keep my thinking and makes my imagination think I’m that world of a game or show. It makes me feel as if the room I’m in is closed off from reality and is in a different world. The moment I leave the room is the moment reality hits. But I continue to think about positive things to make myself happy. Whenever im depressed I try to think happy...

...given it my best though and I felt happy with how it had all ended. I along with everyone in my class had not lived a normal high school experience. Being such a small school we didn’t have the opportunity to have homecoming games, pep rallys, or any traditional senior activities. Graduation was one of the biggest events we had next to PROM which was never what we had in mind. I was about to graduate and I couldn’t be happier to be with all my friends and teachers who had seen me grow along the way. I was fine up until the moment I was going to walk out.

...Baker It’s The Moments of Impact That Define Us Have you ever gotten news that made your chest tighten up and tears stream down your face? I find it funny how the happiest and saddest you could possibly be create the same exact physical reaction. I believe it’s the moments like this that define us. Our every step and breath add up to create our identity. The times in our life that leave a footprint on our hearts or even on someone else’s is what matters the most. But what sustains it? In December of 2004 my whole world was shaken with the news that three of my family members had a sudden cardiac arrest death syndrome called Brugada. This disease is usually detected by a death in the family, since we found out about it before this could happen I suppose you can consider us lucky. An identifying word for my family may be “lucky,” but hearing that news I knew I would never be the same. That is a moment that defines a change in identity. I never knew just how different my life would be though. I would have never assumed that I would be the one to have an anxiety attack when hearing even the faintest sounds of sirens. I would have never assumed that I would be taking a trip to the hospital at least twice a year to see one of my family members go into heart surgery. I also would have never assumed that I could be identified as “strong.” Every person carries their own cross, if they rise above it all and continue to be who they’ve always wanted to be then in my opinion, one identifying...

...the earth is against you? I did. Ever since my parents separated, my whole world changed and I can never do anything to bring back those precious moments. I was only eight years old back then. If you could only imagine how an eight year old girl desperately cry in a corner without anyone being there for her. A young girl yearning for a parent’s presence and desperate for playful moments with her siblings. Well I cannot bring back those times because you can never bring back time. My childhood memories were indeed the best memories I will ever treasure. Those blissful moments when we go out on a Sunday as our family day to attend the mass and after mass, my father would treat us to our favorite fast food chain where we play and take pictures. Every time I reminisce those moments, I remember a girl, so happy and jolly, thinking only how happy her family is, without thinking any problem because her parents never let her see how bad their relationship is going through. Until I found myself having a long night trip to Nueva Vizcaya with my mother and my youngest brother. I didn’t know what was happening back then. All I know is I am thousand miles away from my father and my siblings. I tried to ask my mother but she chose to tell me nothing until I discovered that we will live in Nueva Vizcaya and I will study there. I became so lonely the moment I found out that my parents separated. It wasn’t easy to adjust and get along with my cousins and find friends. I always pray to God...

...Moments Moments in time are snap shots of possibilities. So enjoy the moments you have because you never know what possibilities they may bring. From the moment I saw you I felt a connection. The more I get to know you the more I find myself drawing closer to you. I love the way you look at me. It is like you are looking deep in my soul. As I look at you and your brown eyes, I see a man who is caring compassionate, and above all a gentleman. Your touch sends tingles throughout my body. I melt every time you look or touch me. I could lie in your arms, kiss your lips and stare at you forever. I feel like I have known you all of my life. I want so much to jump into this relationship with both feet, but I am so afraid that if I do you will run and my heart will be broken. I know slow and steady is what we need to do, but I find myself wanting more and wanting to know more about you. It has been so long since I have been made to feel wanted or loved. You make me feel that way every time we are together. When I left my marriage, I prayed to the Lord above to send me someone who would be my best friend and partner for the rest of my life. I am so thankful to him for putting you in my life. I now pray that if he sees fit for us to continue this relationship that he will guide us with his hand. I could talk about the future, but I don’t want to put a jinx on it. I want to live in the moment and enjoy the possibilities that each one brings. There is only one...

...People will spend most of their lives looking and waiting for happiness. We convince ourselves that the right career, the right life choices, and the right relationships will open the gates to happiness. Most people are misled, and they do not know what actually will bring them real happiness until they experience it first-hand. Happiness does not just happen with no work; you have to work towards it. It is something that has to be pursued on a constant level throughout our lives. After reading the articles on happiness, choices in life, and experienced well-being I have come to realize a few significant points that could point towards being happier and coming closer to actual happiness. Happiness can reached in a number of ways, and there are many steps that people can take to increase happiness in their own lives regardless of their background or the situations they find themselves in. In the first article we read named “The Smiling Professor”, Claudia Dreifus is interviewing a psychologist named Dan Gilbert. Dan Gilbert has spent his career studying the nature of human happiness. To many people Dan Gilbert is known as “Professor Happiness”. Throughout this interview Gilbert tends to refer to happiness as something that will happen to our future selves. When asked how predicting our feelings of future events could relate to understanding happiness Gilbert states “Because if we can’t predict how we’d react in the future, we can’t set realistic goals for ourselves or figure...

...life - that it's a series of ups and downs, and that we must strive to be happy. I, however, attack the idea of happiness. I don't mind people being happy, but the idea that everything we do is part of the pursuit of happiness seems a really dangerous idea to me and one that has led to a contemporary disease in society, that is the fear of sadness. I find it odd that we are being told to “write down three things that make you happy before you sleep tonight” and “cheer up” and so on. We're saying that happiness is the default position, and that seems wrong to me. Wholeness is what we ought to be striving for and part of that is sadness, disappointment, frustration, failure: all of those things which make us who we are. I, like everyone else, have been through a series of ups and downs. And maybe it's okay, and maybe it's not, but I am learning to accept it, and for the time being that seems more than enough to me. I am not from a well-off family, and times have been hard, and when it's happening to you, you can't exactly accept that you aren't “financially well-off”. And when you stand at the point where I stood - a teenage boy seemingly being forced to grow up too fast, nothing really seems real for a while. But then I got through O Levels with decent grades despite everything, and it was both a blessing and a curse. The first year of A Levels rushed by me, and left me slightly spinning. And it is the moment when you resurface after being underwater for too long and realize where...

...Comment on the film "The moments of happiness" "The moments of happiness" describes a story of an Indian family whose family members were living separately because of work. The main character, whose name is Raj, was busily working in New York City and had not came back to his own country for about 8 years. After 8 years, he finally decided to go back and see his family, especially his father, who had some problems with him before he went to New York. While he was there, his father was diagnosed with cancer. It gave Raj a shock. Raj tried his best to make up the things that he did not do with his father during the past years and attempted to get his father cured no matter what way it took. Nevertheless, his father died in the end. But his father shared every moment of his remaining life with his family members. What is more, he was never afraid of death and made every moment happy in his remaining life. Four issues in this movie made a profound impression on me. First, gender discrimination: Raj asked his wife why she needs to work, and rather than being a wife who looks after the house and children. Besides, Raj's mother said she did not study when she was young because she is a female. Second, racial discrimination: Raj put his all efforts into his work and eventually achieved success in his project, however, his company transferred his project to another staff member who is Native American. Third, immigration problems: To a foreigner, it is really hard to be a resident...

...enables you to profit from your highest: thoughts, wisdom, intelligence, common sense, emotions, health, and spiritual values in your life. What makes you happy and what makes me happy are different things. Whatever it is that gives you warm fuzzes is determined by you, and only you. This difference is what makes the world interesting. Most of the happiness that we experience comes from the feeling of love. So many people look to their love relationships,especially marriage to give them the happiness that they cannot find on their own. Love is not enough to provide happiness, then there must be many frustrated lovers in the world. The belief that love gurantess happiness is left over from the ideology of romantic love that tells us we will live happily ever after if we can only find the right person with whom to spend our life with. If we realize that love by itself will not bring happiness, then hopefully we will be more tolerant of the imperfections of those we love. If our relatioships have their problems and if those we love do not always meet our expectations it doesn't mean that we have lost our chance for happiness. When we do not expect love to give us the happiness we seen, there will be more room for forgiveness of the imperfections and problems that always accompany love. What makes us happy is so varied. To be happy is a fleeting thing,...
