1.) What is your personal concept/perspective of happiness? Are there similarities with what was
discussed with your concept/perspective of happiness?

Joy, pleasure, contentment, and fulfillment characterize happiness for my perspective.

While there are many distinct definitions of happiness, it is frequently described as involving
positive emotions and a sense of fulfillment in life. Most of us we want to attain happiness in our
life. The fulfillment that we want to achieve to become happy.

In the book of Nicomachean written by Aristotle, there are different perspectives or views
to attain happiness. It is very similar to my personal perspective into what Aristotle said in his
book. For me, family is the number one can give me happiness. Because of my family, they give
and felt that they love me and important. We all know that love gives us happiness. Being love by
someone, can me us smile and feel very happy. Having a set good friend also gives us happiness.
Our friends are there in good times and in bad times. My very close friends I considered them
also my family. If I am sad, they are there to make me happy. If I also see them happy, I am also
happy for them. Having these kind of friends gives us happiness and they are good for our health.
Having peaceful surroundings can give us happiness. Our surroundings have a significant
influence on our mood and overall health. If we have peaceful environment that there is no hate
and war, we can attain happiness. If we are always absorbing negative energy we can feel
angriness, sadness, hate etc. If we have peaceful surroundings, we are absorbing positive
energy. Having peaceful mind can make us to think better and can make us smile. Enough money
also can give us happiness. Because of money we can buy our wants like gadgets, cars, we can
travel, and new clothes. All we desired we can have it if we have money. Because of that we can
attain happiness. But more importantly if we have enough money to buy our daily needs like foods,
water and shelter we can also attain happiness. We don’t need to be rich what is important is we
eat three times a day it’s just a bonus if we can eat 4-5 times a day. Lastly, to attain happiness in
life is having a Godly life. We never been lonely because our God is always there for us. Every
day he blessed us. The blessings that came from him brought to us happiness. Happiness that
every day we are continuing to live in this world, happiness that we have our family, friends and
because of him our wishes came true. Continuing praise our Lord and he will never let us down
and he will give the happiness that we wanted.
 Achieving our dreams is one way to attain happiness. We are setting a goal in life. We
have many dreams like in family, nation and especially in ourselves. These are my dreams to
achieve my happiness. Having a happy family, having a someone who loves me, having a good
friend, having peaceful surroundings, having enough money and having a godly life. Most of us
we have only one goal in life is to have a happily life that will always put our smile into our faces.

2.) Share some event/s in your life that you have been very happy.

We felt happiness if there are good things that happened to us. Each of us we have been
experience happiness. Events that we really cherish because we’ve been very happy. In my life,
I have been experienced a very happy moment in my life. First, when me and my family having a
like a family time. We are playing cards and bingo it is our family bonding. I considered it was my
very happy moment in my life. Second, my birthday, my 18th birthday and my 20th birthday were
the happiest birthday and memorable that I had. I celebrated it with my family, relatives and my
friends. I was very enjoyed celebrating my birthday to them. They are on my side in good times
and bad times. Third, I got my own cellphone that came to my savings. I was very happy that time
because it is my dream that I want a brand-new smart phone. As of now, I didn’t replace it and
use it until now. I didn’t replace it because it is very memorable to me that I brought this with my
own saving so, it is very important to me my cellphone. Lastly, we had a vacation in Bataan with
my family. It has very peaceful surroundings that you can relax there. I was very happy because
of the surroundings it was very beautiful, and I saw very beautiful sunset in Bataan. That vacation
we had is the one of the memorable moments in my life.
These are the events in my life that for me it was a very happy moment in my life. Those
happy moments it was very memorable to me. These are the happiness that I really want to
experience it again in the future. Also my dreams that I really want to achieve that I know it will
fulfill the truth happiness I really want.
