Could You Be Happier?

Happiness is what you feel when what you want to happen happens & unhappiness is what we feel when what we want to happen does not happen. Is that true? 

Happiness is a pleasant emotion that gives you a joy. Based on the article that I have read The Degree of Happiness by Betrand Russell said that happiness is a different thing to different people. There are sorts of different happiness. Some people think it is either that we have all been looking for happiness at the wrong places or that it is simply not possible to achieve happiness.  The answer is not very easy. 

From my opinion, happiness is such a precious thing that the whole of the world is continuously receiving and looking to find it. It’s a very different explanation when asked to different people.


When we are asked about what makes us happy we may talk about anything. Some people feel often feel grateful for what they have example their family and their work. Maybe some people they feel grateful because of satisfaction, at knowing that they have worked hard, perhaps found unexpected solutions to problems and give a good feeling of satisfaction and pleasure to them. We can be happy with ourselves and happy with what we have. 

But somehow one may argue that a life of no happiness will become colourless and dull. But this is not true. We can achieve the happiness anywhere and anytime.  Everything everyone does is for a reason, to achieve something else. When we achieve something and the payoff is not as great as the hard work that we gave don’t worry because it is the greater significance to us.

Joining or Quitting Facebook?





Have you ever used Facebook before?
Are you a hard core Facebook user? Or not?

Facebook is a popular social networking website. In simple terms, Facebook allows you to create profiles, to connect friends, family, share information, pictures, and videos help you connect with new friends all over the world. Facebook was formed in 2004 and today about 750 million users all over the world using the Facebook. 

Is Facebook are really a necessary for us? Based on the article that I have read All The Cool Kids Quitting Facebook by Jenna Wortham  it is true that Facebook have two sides of arguments which is the pros and the cons of using Facebook. People who like Facebook, they can spend hours browsing through other people's profiles, whereas some people are not really into it even they know how to use it well.

From my opinion, I totally agree with the writer’s opinion. Using Facebook is the great way to connect with your old friends. It really helps and allows you to reconnect with your old friends and to make new friends. You can keep in touch with your friends, no matter how far you are. Besides, you can update about what is happening in your life so that you friends and your family know what is happening around you. 

Some people think you should not have Facebook because they think there are some things that give you bad influence and also can risking your privacy. When you are using Facebook all the information sharing can be seen by everyone and many people have claiming that Facebook is a violation of individual’s privacy. The pictures, videos or a status has been updated on Facebook, it is in the public. Most of the people who will be viewing your profile are from unknown people and   you will also get unwanted friend requests.
