The article is about happiness and unhappiness, about the way in which people perceive what happens

around them and how events and people in our life can affect our perception of reality.
Studies on the topic present how changes in life can have different consequences on different
individuals. To some of us, these changes may be a source of frustration and unhappiness. For others,
they are the perfect chance to improve their self-esteem. Consequently, everything depends on our
perception of things and the way we choose to “translate” these events in our reality.
Instead of choosing to see the dark side of things, we could take advantage of every opportunity and
benefit from it. We can also learn from people around us and it is entirely up to us how we choose to
see things. Positive thinking is extremely important and we have to keep in mind that we need to stay
optimistic and enjoy the present, seizing the day. But the most important thing is to have a solid self-
esteem that will allow us to accepted and appreciated by other people, too.
