HUMA 1100

1. What makes someone happy according to this article, outline the arguments and
whether you believe with them or not.
• According to the article, the external factors like friends and family tend
to really makes us all happy. But in reality, the article challenges on
how we can become happier by following these rules:
o Friendliness
o Cheerfulness
o Compassion
o Gratitude
• I feel that these factors are sufficient in how we can become overall
satisfied with life. People tend to not feel happy due to their obsession
of becoming addicted to something, or simply making something
obsolete, they aren’t satisfied anymore. For this reason, the idea of
giving back, being grateful of the items around you, and finally faking it
‘till you make it simply provides overall happiness.
2. What makes the people around you happy? Take a poll and record their
responses.
• I conducted 10 people to see what they find happy in life. ALL 10
responses said friends/family’s, and some people said money, animals,
watching TV, my phone, and simply nature.
3. What is your own secret to happiness, are you happy?
• I feel that I don’t have a secret to happiness, I’m simply happy in general.
But the reason I’m not happy all the time is due to my lack of sleep and
poor eating habits. But faking it till you make it really helps on how you feel
throughout the day! But to be completely honest, going on my phone,
looking at memes, listening to music, and talking with my loved ones,
really achieve my outcome for the day.
