Living happily with less The money people make the more things they buy. People buy items they never use more than twice.

Can you know true happiness without knowing sorrow? Happiness is a subjective emotion. Some people say they cannot be happy without first experiencing bad things. I do not think this is entirely true. Babies know happiness when they get to play with their favorite toy or when they see something new that excites them. Now some might argue that babies have experienced sorrow or unhappiness when they are crying however, I think their short attention span makes them forget sorrow much easier than happiness

one person from another. Many can feel discouraged and feel like giving up when they hit a rough patch. In other cases, the will to be in a position better than where they are at the moment gives them the motivation to succeed.

The determination to prevail over adversity can be triggered by the extreme desire to recover. A shark attack survivor, Bethany

What is true happiness? I have chosen four texts which relate to my topic of how money can’t buy happiness. Macbeth and The Great Gatsby show how being the most powerful and wealthiest person can’t make you happy. Macbeth is set in in Scotland during the 11th century while The Great Gatsby is set in 1925 on Long Island. These two texts have many similarities and comparisons that i will cover throughout my piece. My other two texts; Money doesn’t buy happiness, neither does poverty and The Pursuit

We are a materialistic breed, meaning we are prone to expecting money to be the source of our happiness.

Although money seems to be the cause of happiness in most cases, it is not. Money, in today’s world

Many spend hours dreaming of having more money. They believe their quality of life would be better. Everyone has at one point in his or her life thought about how the possession of money would make life worthwhile by generating happiness. However, Benjamin Franklin, a prominent polymath, stated that money in all shapes and forms cannot purchase happiness, an abstract feeling. Franklin believed that the more money an individual possessed the more he or she will want. Although this doctrine has been

The three formulas of credibility is competence, caring, and character. Competence: this will tell you if the person can do the job.

"Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year." This quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson appears to be a charming, quaint sentiment, although a sentiment which is seemingly not applicable to modern society. However, is it possible that each individual could establish an optimisitc, sanguine attitude throught all the days of their life? In retrospect, I sincerely believe that this is attainable, through a conscious, caring attitude to our thoughts. Genuinely unadulterated optimisim

What is character? Character is something that is hard to explain. It is who we are, the way we act, and the kind of person we truly are and want to be. Character is what you are in the dark.
