He also says how people overestimate the extent of money and what it can do for them. Relationships are another important thing that makes people happy. In the essay “Do You Have What It Takes to be Happy”, successful relationships are important to happiness.

People who are involved in romantic and social relationships are happier than people who are lonely.
Subjective well-being can also be measured by showing a person a group of pictures of faces and asking them to describe their own level of satisfaction with their life with one of the faces. If I were given the opportunity to be hooked up to a machine that would keep me in a constant state of happiness, I would decline. I do not live the most satisfactory life in my own opinion, however I like having the ability to take the bad with the good. When we experience bad life circumstances, it makes the good experiences that much better. Bad experiences and feelings make the good feelings worth living for.
Freddie Ramos We can all agree that friends make our lives better. They encourage us when we’re feeling down and make us laugh. Friends make us feel good, almost anyone would agree. But the article by Tara Parker-Pope, “What Are Friends For?” goes beyond this simple point. The article presents ample evidence that having friends not only makes us happier, it also makes us healthier, both mentally and physically.
I took the Depression Brief Implicit Association Test and my implicit data suggests that I strongly identify more with being happy than sad. I would have to agree with this statement while I do get sad at times and I'm a pretty happy- go- lucky, bubbly person. I try to take a lighthearted approach to everything I do and I try not to get easily discouraged when things do not go as planned. I believe that no matter how bad things may seem to be going for me there is always someone in a more difficult situation than myself. I try to think of all the good things in my life to keep myself in a positive state of mind.
Sadly, people who are truly themselves, and stick to their values and beliefs tend to be alone and get overlooked often, but that’s not their problem.

For example, if I was praising an individual for outstanding work, I would have a jovial but very sincere tone to my voice and make lots of eye contact, my face would also convey how pleased I was. I will (if the individual welcomes touch) put my hand on their arm or shoulder. The use of language is also important. With some service users, language needs to be a little simpler, without sounding patronising. Body language and eye contact are key with all communication.
Here are some reasons why most people hate to change or why it is just so hard to change our ways. Change is not something that we can do over night. We all think that change will be easy, well news flash it isn’t. We all want to change but it is just too hard to change are ways. One reason why it is so hard to change is that it doesn’t have to do with our surroundings, but it has to do with setting our mind to change.
Most people regard lateness as a minor and pardonable offence and sometimes turn up to engagements intentionally late, expecting the other party to easily forgive them. This attitude towards time is very common among young people and people without demanding or busy schedules. Being late communicates more than ‘something held me back for a few seconds’, it speaks volumes about your character, it has the ability to negatively affect the success or otherwise of a meeting and create an unfavorable reputation that would last many years. When we are the one running late to a meeting we automatically expect to be forgiven and see nothing really wrong with our action, but when we are the one who has to wait for someone running late, we see the importance of being on time and grasp the undesirability of lateness. For many years, teachers have highlighted the importance of being punctual, not only for the meeting or the other person’s sake but for one’s self.
