Evidence: the happiness advantage

Shawn Achorconsiders that happiness is the key to success and states that ifyou can find a way to
get your brain positive;your success rate will increase.Taking into account Achor’s statement, share
an anecdote where you describe a story that shaped your personal view about success and
happiness. Use the anecdote template from the study material. Also, make sure you use the past
perfect, at least eightadjectives from the introductory material, and the time expressions you have
practiced in this learning activity

Example:

I’ll never forget the day I learned to type without looking at the keyboard. I wanted to be able to type
while in bed with the lights off. If I want to turn off the lights, I have to get out of bed. It was really
annoying because when you are falling asleep, the last thing you want to do is to get up. I had tried
many times before, but I usually got frustrated or impatient really quickly. Anyway, I went online and
browsed around,reading reviews about different free online typing programs until I finally found one
that I found suitable. I followed the instructions and did not skip a class. It was hard; sometimes I felt
miserable because I couldn’t do it. In less than a month, I was typing in the dark. It felt so good; it
felt, it still does, like magic. I felt super satisfied. I had taught myself how to do something
extraordinary (to me). The secretaries at school who were able to look at you in the eye while typing
had always mesmerized me! So, the moral of the story is that in order to be happy and successful,
you need to find something that motivates you to grow as a person; something that makes you feel
you can be a little bit better every day.

How I hope to stop the time ... I will never forget the day I had to deliver my first exhibition at the
university in front of all the students. That day at 6 am my mom talked to me and reminded me
how strong I am and the importance of being calm. I had just finished my work at 7:15 am after
staying up most of the night. Check again and again everything couldn't  forget absolutely nothing.
It looked too good, it seemed perfect. Then I began to relax and prepare a great coffee for the day.
Then I recorded in my mind everything I had to say word by word, but it was a horror when I
realized that I couldn't, I  panicked, I was restless and fear took over me. I couldn't record anything
and my head was embarrassed, entangled with only meaningless letters. I decided to put my mind
blank, breathe and try again. Nobody could help me I had to go to record on a disc all that I would
say that day, so listen to it all the time on the road, I felt brave. When I arrived at the university I
realized what I was most afraid of. They will not believe what I forgot. All the exhibition, billboards,
essays and other written works, I felt confused and angry. At that time it was super late, time kept
running without me being able to stop it. Finally I had to take the reins of the situation and expose
without visual aid and be creative so as not to be left behind. So the moral of the story is: If you
can't stop time, take the initiative and create tools to achieve your goal ... It isn't an option to give
up
