Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.
Here' s an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.
Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent and profit form the clerk' s mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about out good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.
Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?
In the first case, where we don' t tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing error to the clerk' s attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.
There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it' s easy to think and act honorably again when we' re happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, one it' s easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important to our happiness.
Celebrities, in other word, famous people, have become one of the most important representatives of popular culture. Fans used to be crazy about a specific film, but now the public tends to base its consumption on the interest of celebrity attached to a specific product. Besides, fashion magazines have almost 1 the practice of putting models on the cover because they don' t sell nearly as well as famous faces. 2 , celebrities have realized their unbelievably powerful market potential, moving from advertising for others' products to developing their own.
As celebrities become more and more experienced at the market, they expand their production scale rapidly, covering almost all the products of daily life.
However, for every success story, there' s a related warning tale of a celebrity who 3 his consumer appeal. No matter how famous the product' s origin is, if it 4 to impress consumers with its own qualities it begins to resemble an exercise in self-promotional marketing. And once the initial attention dies down, consumer interest might fade, loyalty returning to labels which have proved to be reliable.
Today, celebrities face even more severe embarrassment. The pop-cultural circle might be bigger than ever, but its rate of turnover(逆转) has 5 as well. Each misstep threatens to reduce a celebrity' s shelf life and the same newspaper or magazine that once brought him fame has no problem severely criticizing him and taking everything from him when the opportunity appears. Still, the ego' s(自我的) potential for expansion is limitless.
Having already achieved great wealth and public recognition, many celebrities see 6 as the next frontier to be conquered. As the saying goes, success and failure always go hand in hand. Their success as designers might last only a short time and as a matter of fact, fashion - like celebrity - has always been temporary. So the next time celebrities introduce their lines of fashion, let' s just wait and see how long they will stay.
Different people may find that different learning methods work best for them. While some would turn to tutoring in order to get better grades, others choose to join study groups. In fact, many universities e their students to form study groups and make good use of them.
"Two heads are better than one. " That' s the simple idea b study groups. By participating in a study group, students can benefit from some of their best academic r : other students. They get to pick each other' s brains and improve their own understanding of different problems. Moreover, study groups can create the s tense atmosphere in which it' s good to study. For example, some students tend to procrastinate (拖延) when they are studying by themselves; however, by joining a study group, they get to observe their peers who are working diligently and are likely to thus have motivation for working harder.
Study groups work best when they are small, but not too small—four to five participants is about right. And it' s necessary to make sure everyone has the same g , to prepare for a particular test, to discuss class readings or to review the week' s lecture notes. Besides, socializing in the group would make studying more fun as long as it took up only a small portion of group study time.
In addition, to maximize the e , some study groups like to assign members certain roles, and thus efficiency will be promoted. Besides an organizer, who gets group members to agree to a common purpose and a convenient time and place, there often is a group member playing the role of a source-seeker, whose duty is to remind group members to identify their sources. For instance, when a group member says "I read somewhere that . . . , " the source-seeker should ask for specifics. This person reminds the group that it' s important to know who said what and where it was said. And a gatekeeper, who tries to make sure that all group members are participating, may ask a d question to help a shy person participate, or find a way to get a dominating member to listen.
When Danny Bowman was at school, he was so desperate to attract girls, he spent 10 hours a day taking more than 200 selfies trying to find the perfect image.
But his addiction, which began at the age of 15, caused him to drop out of school and lose almost two stone in weight. He would take 10 photos of himself before he washed and would sneak out of class three times every hour. At 16, he dropped out of school so he could focus on his addiction, and his diet began to deteriorate.
He did not leave his house in Newcastle upon Tyne for six months, and when he failed to take the flawless shot, he tried to kill himself by taking an overdose. His mother, Penny, managed to save him, but he was forced to seek help after his addiction had spiralled out of control.
The 19-year-old believed to be Britain' s first selfie addict, has now had therapy to treat his technology addiction, OCD and Body dysmorphic disorder – an excessive anxiety about personal appearance.
He has not taken a picture of himself in seven months, and has realised that achieving perfection is impossible. He told the Sunday Mirror: ‘ I was constantly in search of taking the perfect selfie and when I realised I couldn' t I wanted to die. I lost my friends, my education, my health and almost my life. ‘ The only thing I cared about was having my phone with me so I could satisfy the urge to capture a picture of myself at any time of the day. ‘ He would look at photos of his ‘ idol' Leonardo Di Caprio and would then replicate his poses. Danny' s dream was to become a male model.
The selfie craze has grown in past five years, with stars, politicians and even Pope Francis posting getting involved in the sensation. But one psychologist at a clinic where Danny was treated said the addiction with taking selfies has now become a mental illness. Now determined to raise awareness of the anxiety disorder, Danny is working with Fixers – a national charity helping young people ‘ to ‘ fix' the issues that matter to them. He said their help has kept him alive and called on others to seek help before they end up in hospital.
