           The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering.Happiness in Education is very important in everyone life because if we suffer during our school time, we will feel sick and tired for the rest of our life.We have to first like what we study, In order to feel happy in our school time. Happiness manly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. I have a few things that makes me happy in school, and helps me to focus more on my subjects. First, the main important step is to do meditation every day during school time very early in the morning.Second, I like to do sports at least three times a week, to keeps me in good shape. the last, but not the least, organizing my time for everything, that is helps me to gives time for everything i want to do. And that is the best way to concentrate in my school. All these things makes me the happiest person in my Education.  

       

    First, the main important step to makes me happy in my school is meditation. Every day before going to school, I have to meditate at least for fifteen minute. This little time helps me to focus on my school for the whole day. Also,makes me rest and release all the stress. Meditation is help me to achieve peace in myself, and be passion. Meditation is seeking more serenity and calm in my life. I’m still learning to do better, using meditation as a guide on my journey. it’s also help me to understand my own mind. I can learn how to transform my mind from negative to positive, from disturbed to peaceful, from unhappy to happy. Anyway, I would like to encourage every one to have at least ten minute for meditation, to see how helpful and can change a lot of things in every one personalty. Also, Matthieu Ricard who took about meditation, and who'' the happiest man in the world,'' Matthieu Ricard balances his buddhist contemplation of happiness. So, that was a big example how important to meditation in our life.

    Second, sports are the second level or step in my goal to be happy in my Education. Actually, I can’t live without going to the gym at least three times a week. Gym helps me to be active for the whole day during school. And makes me very energetic. There is no gain, If there is no pain. I mean if we would like to achieve something in our life, we have to work hard for it. Going to the gym is not only to be in good shape, is helps to release stress. Physical exercises in general are needed to lead a peaceful, happy and healthy life. So having a healthy life make me a happy person, and make me concentrate in my school to achieve my target.

    Last, but not the least, organizing my time that make me so happy. time management is one of the most important study skills that I need to success in my school, and at the same time make me happy. It’s impossible to remember everything i need to do in my head. So, I need a system to keep track of all my deadlines and obligations. so, I’m always have a calender to remember all the important things I have to do. the way I study is not just anytime, there are times for everything that help me to manage all the important things I need to do. The more I manage my time, the easier to be organized and doing more stuff in the spare time, if i have.  

    In the conclusion, happiness in Education fun, joy, and good memory. The best time we have in our life, is our school time. Everyone has a good memory to remember. And everyone has a different ways to be happy in his/her Education. So, we have to invest every minute during our school time because these are the best time ever in our life. Anyway, these were my best tasks to achieve my goals. And to be happy and successful in my life.

Happiness in Education

                             Happiness in Education is the most important part in our lives. We always have different things make us happy, but happiness in education is totally different than anything else. Many things can make us happy for a little period of time, but not for long term. Education is not only finishing a High school, or even college. Education is more than studying, and be at any school. In order to understand what's mean education, we have first love to study, and love to read because without both, we will fail at school. Anyway, i would like to talk about my own experience at school, and how education became part of my happiness.

                           First, when i was young, i didn't like to be at school because i spent the whole day there, and i felt very tired to be studying many subjects during the study session. Anyway, my parents tried to encourage me to like school, but i was really do like to study. So, during school session i found myself behind my friends.And, i started to feel bad about myself. I started to focus on my subjects especially reading, and trying to understand what's the main idea of this subject. I started to love the school, and i became the more successful student at my school, and i understood what's really mean happiness in education. 

                        Second, during college time after i finished the High school, i went back in my country to study Accounting. I was very excited in the beginning, but after i graduated from college, i realized that not what I'm really looking for, or to be working in my future. So, after really long time struggling to know  what i like to do, finally i found myself . I found that I'm very good in Biology, and Chemistry. So, i deiced to study something related with what i like. I found that Physical Therapy is the best study for me. I started at LaGuardia college since 2009, and I'm really enjoying studying here because i understood form beginning the meaning of happiness in education.

                       In the end, i would like to encourage everyone who doesn't like school or studying, to give all his/her effort to be successful at school.Because, without education we will feel bad about ourselves, and not feeling happy as we have an education.Although we can be happy without education, but with education we can be more happier than anybody else. The more we study, the more we have knowledge, and we will be able to understand everything in our life. So, happiness in Education is not only school, It is the source of our future in life.Because the more we know, the more we will have a wealthy knowledge.

The affective prediction

            Happiness is a vague word not a pleasurable. We always think that only we feel happy when we have what we need in order to be happy, but happiness is more deep than this thought. Sometimes things can makes someone happy and at the same time makes someone else unhappy. Everyone have a different feeling and different things make him/her happy. I would like to concentrate about only one of the studies at happiness for Gilbert, a professor in Harvard’s department of psychology. So, I would to talk about the affective prediction or forecasting. And how we forecast our feelings, and if those predictions match our future or not.

        

                

                We always think and believe that a new car or a new house will make us happy, and that we are in perfect condition. As Gilbert has found, ‘’ however, is that we overestimate the intensity and the duration of our emotional reactions -- our ‘’affect’ -- to future events.’’ page (8), in the futile pursuit of Happiness by Jon Gertner. He tried to explains that after short period of time, we are not excited anymore about the new car or the new house. Because people always looking for more and more things to own. So, whatever they have at this year, next year they will think about something else to be satisfy or to make them feel happy. Gilbert approved that in his studies in the laboratory and in the real- life, too. Although there are certain things can make us happy, but we can’t predicate what can make us happy in the future.

                

                In our life we can’t predicate what can us happy at the moment, so how we can know what make us happy in the future. Most of people think that money can makes them the happiest person in the earth, but money is the root for evil because most of our problem about money issue. Anyway, we can’t say that if we have a lot of money, we will be the happiest person. We have to think what can make us happy and why we are not happy at the moment. And try to forget that we can forecasting our future, and what will make us happy tomorrow. Gilbert does not believe all forecasting mistakes lead to similar results. He said that, ‘’ Our research simply says that whether it’s the thing that matters or the thing that doesn’t, both of them matter less than you think they will.’’ page(10). We think that things we buy or own can make a different in our happiness. That’s totally wrong because happiness is not by owning something or buying something, It is more deep than these things. Happiness is full of satisfaction, if we can be satisfy about what we have, we can be the happiest person in the entire life. So, we can’t predicate what can make us happy at the next hour because we don’t know what can happen at the next minute in our life.

        

                In the conclusion, Happiness is the way of life, if we not happy at our life that’s mean we are not satisfy about what we have. The main important thing can approve that we are happy, is that we not misunderstanding the different between affective predication and what make us happy in the future. Anyway, there is no happiness, if there is no love.
