2evidence The Happiness Advantage
2evidence The Happiness Advantage
Shawn Achor considers that happiness is the key to success and states that if
you 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 eight adjectives 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.
Solución: I will never forget the day I learned to bake and decorate cakes. I
wanted to be able to bake cakes and decorate them well. If I want to decorate
the cakes well, I must take the pastry bag well and becalm. It was really difficult
because when you take the pastry bag and you do not have the perfect angle,
the cake will be badly decorated. I had tried many times before, but I was
generally frustrated and impatient. Anyway, I watched many YouTube videos on
how to do it until I finally found the right way to use the pastry bag. I followed the
different instructions and practice a lot. It was difficult; sometimes the decoration
did not go well as I wanted and I felt helpless. In less than three months, I
decorated the cakes and they looked beautiful. It felt so good; I felt happiness, I
still feel it. I felt super satisfied. I had learned to make something fantastic (for
me).It had always seemed incredible to me how the confectioners
made different desserts and decorated them. So, the moral of the story is
that to be happy and successful, you need to find something that motivates you;
It does not matter what it is if it makes you happy it's fine.
