Be Happy -- more successful

Be Happy

Happy people are in general more successful and more likely to achieve favourable life circumstances, say scientists.

Researcher Sonja Lyubomirsky of the University of California, Riverside, and co-researchers said this may be because happy people frequently experience positive moods which prompts them to be more likely to work actively toward new goals and build new resources.

"When people feel happy, they tend to feel confident, optimistic, and energetic and others find them likeable and sociable. Happy people are thus able to benefit from these perceptions," said Lyubomirsky.

The researchers examined the connections between desirable characteristics, life successes and well-being of over 275,000 people, science portal EurekAlert reported.

"Our review provides strong support that happiness, in many cases, leads to successful outcomes, rather than merely following from them and happy individuals are more likely than their less happy peers to have fulfilling marriages and relationships, high incomes, superior work performance, community involvement, robust health and even a long life" said Lyubomirsky.

Other resources, such as intelligence, family, expertise and physical fitness, can also play a role in people's successes.

story of SELF-CONFIDENCE & FAITH

2008-04-11T10:08:00.000-07:00

Often we get discouraged and frustrated ion life when we face setbacks and diasappointments in life. but there is the eye-opening story of Ben Underwood, a young boy who, due to the onset of cancer, has been blind since the age of three.

Ben at age six he was using a cane, but three years before he began using a technique called echolocation, the same method used by bats and dolphins to perceive their environments.

It soon became apparent that Ben's skills were called 'extraordinary' and 'pushing the limits of human perception' by medical doctors. Simply by using a series of clicks and gauging the time it takes for the sound to return and in exactly what fashion, he can operate in the world like any other child.

He skateboards, plays kickball with the neighborhood kids, and even chases down his brother to return a sneak-attack tackle. Ben can even tell the difference between a parked car and truck, all through the use of clicks with his mouth. Simply amazing.

The point of this story, as far as we're concerned, isn't that Ben Underwood has an amazing ability but that he took a weakness and turned it into a source of creativity, skill, and strength. He didn't dwell, nor did he accept a state of life below his desires. Instead, he accepted the facts and moved forward with his life.

It's the example of overcoming adversity that I want you to take to heart. If a young boy can function and maneuver without the use of his eyes, can't you find a way to overcome your challenges? Can't you find a way to get the things you want and to help those you care about do the same?

what is politics - explained
A son asked his father
Dad, what is politics ?
Dad said
• “Look, I bring the money home, therefore I am the Capitalist
• Your mother administrates the money, therefore she is the Government
• Grandpa watches everything, therefore he is the Union
• Our maid is the Working Class
• We all want just one thing, your well-being. Therefore you are the People. And your smaller brother who is still in his nappy, is the Future..
Did you understand that my son?”

The little one thinks, and tells his father he wanted to sleep it over for one night
During the night the boy wakes up, because his younger brother produces something with an unbearable smell from his nappy and is crying.
As he doesn‘t know what to do, he goes into the bedroom of his parents.
But there is only his mother in her bed, and she is so fast asleep that he does not succeed in waking her up.
So he goes into the bedroom of the maid where he finds his father having fun with her, and grandpa watching them secretly through the window !!!!
All of them are so engaged that they don‘t realize that the boy is standing in front of them.
So the boy decides to go to bed again without having been able to solve the problem.
Next morning the father asks his son if he is able to explain with a few words what politics is.
“yes” answers the son.
• The Capitalist abuses the Working Class,

• The Union watches without doing anything,

• While the Government sleeps,

• The People are completely ingnored,

• And the Future is in the shit.
That‘s politics
