Happiness Creative Writings Samples For Students

It simply takes opening of the mind's shutters to let in the sunshine and colour in life. Many people spend an entire lifetime searching for happiness. They shop, they achieve, they run blindfolded -- however, the key to happiness cannot be found. Ask most of the successful people and their answer would be the same -- unless they achieve more, they will not be happy. Farther they go, farther they want to go. So where is the end? No one has answer to that; accept that the answer lies right outside their windows. In the race to be the ...

“Therefore, since each of these characteristics belongs to the good man in relation to himself, and he is related to his friend as to himself (for his friend is another self), friendship too is thought to be one of these attributes, and those who have these attributes to be friends. Whether there is or is not friendship between a man and himself is a question we may dismiss for the present; there would seem to be friendship in so far as he is two or more, to judge from the afore-mentioned attributes of friendship, and from the fact that the extreme ...

Philosophy

Does a life of deep observation and thinking alone necessarily bring happiness to mankind? In this case, according to Aristotle the sole function of reasoning determines ultimate happiness. Is that universally applicable to every aspect of human life? Can all 6 billion people remain happy if they chose to reason out their actions or actions of others? Yes, a contemplative approach will to a great extent result in a life where people do not live in war with their conscience especially in relation to the question of whether every action they perform on a human level is right or wrong. I disagree with the ...

Philosophy

“Perhaps we shall find the best “Good” if we first find the function of a human being. For just as the good, for a flutist, a sculptor, and every craftsman, and, in general, for whatever has a function, seems to depend on its function, the same seems to be true for a human being What, then, could this be? For living appears to be something common even to plants. A certain life characterized by sense perception would be next, but it too appears to be common to a horse and cow and in fact to every animal. The remaining possibility, then, is some sort of ...

A Day To Remember

She heard small voices talking about how to switch on a toy, followed by a tick sound that switched the toy to start. The small voices started to giggle happily, as if they were seeing something silly and fun. After a long sound of laughter, there were small footsteps walking around and slowly running around. There were scrambling and sound of cabinet doors opening and closing.

And then she opened her eyes.

It was so relaxing and felt that she had enough sleep. She remembers the night before she passed out. George, her husband, and she was talking about how ...

<COURSE NAME>

I heard the kids giggling, and I slowly opened my eyes. It was so relaxing and felt that I had enough sleep. I remember the night before I passed out. George, my husband, and I were talking about how busy our Saturday was, and at the same time, it was very productive. We were thinking that after this grueling task that we are going to have in our work, we will bring the kids out-of-town. We also talked about how happy we are that our friend Rita is getting married soon. ...

Happy never after: Tales of a lonely heart

I choose the title “Happy never after: Tale of a lonely heart” for this story. I found this title appropriate as the main theme of this story is broken love and the effects of the loneliness that sets in after a love relation breaks on very disturbing and bitter grounds of unfaithfulness and betrayal. I believe Neal was betrayed by the fiancée as they had lived together for a long time and where engaged to be married only for her to get pregnant with another man’s child. I believe this pain that was coursed by the sudden break up, of a ...

Felicia sat on the steps of her apartment building, bouncing a small yellow ball. It was dark out, only the dim light from the hallway behind her lighted the street. The sounds of sirens blared in the distance. A car rambled by and the thump of the loud bass vibrated through the cement of the sidewalk to where she sat. The vibration was almost soothing; she watched the car run a red light almost wistfully. It was late at night; it must be nice to somewhere to go.
She happily bounced the ball a few more times before some mischievous urge ...

'I wish I could spend more time with my five year old son, but since he lives two hours away with his mother and I only get to see him on the weekends, I simply cannot.' His mother and I have been separated since he was two years old. Basically we went out fishing early this summer and I taught him how to fish. He’s a stubborn little guy, so it took me a little bit to get him focused, but once we overcame the initial hurdles, he took to it like a natural.

Selected Scene

When I asked my best friend, Jimmy, to check on the essay I have written for the literature assignment. Thus, the two characters would be Character A, the narrator, talking in the first person point of view; and Character B, Jimmy, would describe the scene from the third person point of view.

The Scene from Character A’s Point of View

I was confident that the literary work I have written was exemplary. I was confident that even Jimmy, best friend Jimmy, will be impressed too with this piece of work. I imagined the flattery words and commendation bursting from his lips. I decided to show him my ...

Love was the emancipating zeal, the spark in the darkness which lit up my heart and left me enthralled at the thought of the transcendental beauty of life. It rendered the heart-beat to the living, brought tears to the eyes. These were tears of thankfulness and joy. Life seemed futile sans the caressing touch of the beloved. Sharing a smile together, holding hands and walking in the rain were Utopian dreams which made the heart pound. Indeed, God had made life beautiful in the affect of love—the deepest and pious of all emotions. Love could reach beyond the boundaries ...

It is based on analyzing the way in which this model was formed, the stages I went through on the way of final model formation. Besides, the possible techniques and approaches that should be changed are distinguished along with the kinds of problems that can be addressed through this model and population that can make use of it. In the course of forming my model of helping three stages were passed: unconscious, interference and denial. After this, based on the experience gained in them the final ...

Plato and Descartes are some of the greatest classical philosophers who made imminent contributions in the field of philosophy. For a very long time, it has been extremely difficult to define a good life. While many people in the contemporary society believe that a good life is signified by the possession of quality education, happy family, good house and luxurious cars, these scholars had a different take. This paper gives a critical and in-depth comparison of their ideas on a good life.
Descartes proposed the importance of reason as a source of knowledge. He aid that an individual can only attain a good life if he ...

Jody letter: Love letter

Hello {___}. I have written this letter because I feel obliged to do so. I think after 6 years I should apologize for my past actions. I feel hurt that we are not together anymore. I wonder how it is possible to love and hate someone simultaneously. It is impractical. I am sure you feel the same way. I always think of when we were together. I did not realize how deep in love we had bonded. I shared some of the best years of my life with you by my side. I remember when I was eighteen years, ...

The lost Paradise

The first disobedience from man was on the fruit
The fruits from the forbidden tree which assured a mortal taste
Thus the coming of death and woes of man
With Eden gone one greater man still
Promises of restoration, rejuvenation, of the seat
Through singing the muse of heaven and the top secrets
Whether of Sinai or Oreb, whichever the source of inspiration
This was the shepherd who taught the selected seed
About how the earth and heavens were created
Rising from chaos: from the Zion hill
This is the ...

Winning or loosing in life is not as important as living the life to the fullest, and over and above that if we manage to achieve what our dream was, we would need no more from life.[ CITATION Cor06 \ ...

Analysis of GDP and Its Limitations

Introduction

Predominantly, economic well-being has great connections with social well-being (Easterlin, 2001). As such, most of the public policies that are intended to improve the social welfare are usually directed towards variables that indicate economic welfare. However, not all aspects of social well-being have direct linkage with economic wellness. Thus, economic progress in a country does not entirely translate to social happiness among citizens since some economic growth policies involve trade-offs between social risk and income growth (Bok, 2009).
In essence, economic well-being entails a measure of economic wellness of citizens in a country ...

Humans are complex beings. Compared to different species, humans experience conditions well embedded in complex webs of memories, present states and future expectations. If humans have critical rites of passage including most notably birth, marriage and death (each loaded by emotions and ideations defined largely by cultural frameworks in which groups of similar communities interact), a human condition can, accordingly, be defined based on resultant interactions between such critical rites or, more broadly, based on given characteristics, key events and situations composing essentials of one or another human condition. The range of human conditions is, indeed, limitless and can ...

There’s a loud, ringing sound. It’s jarring, waking me from the otherwise cozy warmth that is my bed. I am forced to stick my hand, then my entire arm out from under the safety of my bedclothes in order to turn it off. To snooze or not to snooze? It will just go off in another seven minutes. I may as well get up now. The sooner I do, the sooner I get to see my best friend.
Groggy, bleary eyes, rubbing sleep from my face and half stumbling I wander into the kitchen, hearing the relations ...

Description

Romantic comedies are a specific film genre that includes productions made in America and elsewhere. They have been a staple in the film industry at least since the introduction of sound, and possibly before. They are consistently popular, usually feature well-liked actors and actresses, and are generally considered formula projects, not art. The topic of romantic comedies is usually characters who have not yet fallen in love and married, who fall in love during the course of the film. These films use humor to make the circumstance of being lonely less painful for the lonesome characters while they journey on their ...

This work captures a recount of an interview I conducted two different people. The first one was an American female of seventy years old. My second interviewee was a ninety-year-old male, and a Russia-born moved to South Dakota when he was two. I will settle for the woman while doing this reflection, and I will rely on the continuity activity theory, which states that people who get to the old age successfully continue the positive mind-set that they had at their middle ages (Kaptelinin & Nardi, 2012). Meaning that they remain confident about life and shows this in whatever they ...

When I first held Angie in my arms I felt her smiling. Her little pink face was twisting in a happy grimace and she instantly made me laugh. She looked so funny with her two-three curly stripes of fair hair, her big, round eyes, an almost invisible nose and a toothless wide open mouth that seemed to shout her ecstasy of being alive. When she started walking I realized that she would be a naughty child. She was so energetic, constantly jumping, running, falling, then rising up and jumping and running again. She started to grow beautiful thick blonde ...

Attending a music show is always a great journey. It provides you with a great opportunity to be a part of a spectacular story, while being involved in the same mood and emotions that the performers. Music concerts always enrich your soul with new energy, brighten your life and make you fill with happiness. I got the whole range of positive emotions when I saw the world-famous band’s Coldplay Live in Boston 2012 show.

It was a Saturday, and here I was, walking along what should have been, a resplendent beach, like I have been doing for the past few years. There were a few early morning walkers, some of whom I knew by face, and a few whom I knew by name. Being bred in a cosmopolitan city, I had an eye for details, and while I try and keep to myself, I just couldn’t get myself to turn and look the other way when I saw her.
The beach is a popular place, and is among the most crowded places on weekends. It is among ...

The Great American Dream is generally interpreted as if you work hard, without complaint, you will become successful. Success means you and your family will live a comfortable life and your children will enjoy more successful than you do. The Salesman, Willy Loman, believes in a different American Dream. He believes that a businessman who is well liked and personally attractive will receive the American Dream of physical comforts and material success. My personal interpretation of the American Dream is closer to the one most people believe in. I think it is necessary to work hard and not complain. If anything, I ...

Because Plato valued reason and logic above anything else, he would have much to say about the sentence reporting that Louise showed “not a glance of reflection, but rather indicated a suspension of intelligent thought” (Chopin). Plato would probably criticize the author who happened not only to come up with the idea that a human being could cease having accurate and objective understanding of what was going around but also offered this idea to the potential readership. So the sentence under discussion shows underestimation of the crucial importance of understanding the reality properly. Plato would surely state ...

Entertainment is having an enjoyment about something. In 1 Timothy 6: 17, the scripture says that God provides people with everything for their enjoyment. In other words, God has given people responsibility to enjoy themselves as much as they can. According to Idelman (2013), entertainment is doing what one is most passionate about. Just like the way God wants us to enjoy, I also have my form of entertainment as I feel so passionate doing what I love the most, and what brings happiness in my life. Therefore, I see my entertainment in church anytime I am singing.

Visual Art by artist Barbara Kruger

This paper is an introspection of the works of the visual artist Barbara Kruger. She is a conceptual artist and had access to art and advertising spaces that are public. Therefore she decided to the weapon of advertising against itself. Through her work, Kruger brings everyone’s attention to topics of consumerism, feminism.

To introspect the topic in more detail, we will go through three artworks of the artist and try to ...

They were standing there. There could hardly believe that they were doing this. It was pitch black and it was dangerous for sure. Nonetheless, these people up there knew that what awaited them the next morning was something no money can buy ever. They felt like being in a different world altogether. The clouds flew like birds, the sky covered them like an enormous blue umbrella, and the altitude made all the difference. Melanie had experienced many things, but this was something she had never imagined in her wildest dreams. Mother Nature ...

Dear Diary,

Today I was approached by Juliet as she had a very secret request for me. I appreciate that she would come to me as the only person in the world that she trusts with something this serious and I have taken that into consideration in determining what to do. I was asked to help her marry her love, Romeo. This would mean being the messenger to Romeo and helping her to get to the destination without being caught by her parents. Both of their families are in the middle of a large feud that has caused tension and blood ...

Susie was not one to cast judgment on another person because she was not that kind of girl; that was not the kind of person her parents had raised her to become. In the brightly lit hollow that was her bedroom, she stood and wondered why her brother could be so mean and hateful to her. They had spent nine months together in their mother’s womb. That should have been enough time to bond, in Susie’s opinion.
Timothy was older by nine minutes. It was hardly the blink of an eye, Susie was sure, when it came ...

Best friend: (After hitting down and killing an old woman due to careless driving). You must promise not tell anyone about this incident.
Kant: A hit and run dilemma must involve an unlawful driving practice where the person liable for perpetrating or partaking in the accident declines to stop and assume accountability as required by the law. As opposed to adhering to the recommended procedure after such a misfortune or acting as recourse for any affected victim.

It may have been just a cluster of words printed nicely in an almost card board like glossy paper. Numbers were written all over the face of the paper, accompanied by what seems like a cluster of vertical lines, a picture of an aircraft, and your name on it.

As simple as it is, boarding pass tickets holds a lot of stories of struggle and joy. The face of the boarding pass tells stories no one ...

Stevie Wonder's 1972 performance of Superstition is a classic illustration of “ABAB” song form. The “A” phrases are notated by an “aabb” rhyming pattern, while the “B” section, contains the same words each time it is sung and does not have a discernible rhyming pattern. The “B” section is followed by a brief musical interlude that is heavy on the horn section before dipping into the next chorus. The horns play a prominent role in the entire song, however, when Stevie Wonder sings the “B” section, the horns are less noticeable and Wonder's vocals are the forefront of the song.

There is an ongoing debate of “nature vs. nurture” in the psychological field. How much of a person’s childhood experiences influence who that person becomes as an adult? Can a child with a happy “normal” childhood morph into a nefarious monster? Or could that child become a successful banker on Wall Street with a family of his or her own? However much the nature fact may come into play, it does not discount how strong a child’s experiences can play on his or her behaviors and interactions as an adult. In fact, it can be said that a child’s experiences can play just as big ...

I totally agree that advertising is everywhere and it is impossible to escape it. The messaging and imagery in the advertisements inculcate positive feelings of trust in us that the brands being advertised consistently deliver user experiences that are satisfying hence it becomes impossible to escape them. These advertisements bring positive results to the corporations and this actually explains why in every place we cannot miss to see billboards and other posters containing attractive messages and pictures.
Advertisements employ various techniques and tools of persuasion that influence countless choices that we make to use our money. ...

The love for homeland for every individual in a society or country is very special and unique. So, everybody has a unique attraction towards one’s own country. It is rightly said that a bird moves here and there all day in the search of food, but at the end of the day, it returns to its peaceful place called nest. Similarly, for me, my country is my nest like a bird where I live with pride, unity, freedom, and love. I personally feel that for any good human being with a logical and broad-mind, a country is one’s home, and everybody is attracted ...

Guy de Maupassant

Having live a short life (1850-1893), Guy de Maupassant’s has been unsurprisingly remembered for its economy of his writing. It is clear that he is praised for the structure and form in his stories as opposed to his shortened career. Moore in his articles examines him as an example of naturalistic author, whose reactions to Romanticism included a disdain for fantastic plots, making of their works “merely a series of scenes” (Moore 96). In Shire's work, she also discusses de Maupassant's relationship to naturalism, particularly in the characters' relationships to animals (p 48). The most remarkable thing in his writing is their ...

The same is the case with logic; the logical way of thinking or rationale way of thinking is a corner stone of the Western culture. While Eastern world perception is based on spiritual belief, the Western is based on rational/logical justifications and proves. Without logical way of thinking science as we know it would not exist, it would be based on assumptions, which would be proved by belief. Thus, logic provides the Western culture with its foundation - rationalism. The modern example of this is that, without logical laws of truth and false, it would not be possible to build ...
