Favorite Toy





                                                                  Favorite Toy


5 years ago both of my siblings saved money to get me barbie dolls for my 8th birthday. Back then barbies were so trendy and I really wanted one since all my friends had them.  Everyday I begged and begged for barbie dolls and I was so mad that my dad didn't get them for me when everyone had them. My siblings got me a tower of barbie dolls and since then they were my favorite toy(s) because they remind of when my siblings were actually nice to me and got me things that I want. I also liked the dolls because it reminded me of the great time I had with my friends when we traded the dolls and played with them like they were actual people. What was your favorite toy 5 years ago?

Then, when she went to college in the US, her roommate judged her based off of the idea that she is from Nigeria. However, as she got to know her, the roommate then realized that they have a lot of similarities.      Relating why she was telling these stories, she focuses on the fact that a single/ one sided story  isn't going to lead to anything throughout the whole TedTalk. In my opinion, it is exactly like a story with different perspectives. Listening to only one side of a story, is as useless as having just one pair of a shoe. For example. the roommate was only listening to what she was hearing from the people around her, and seeing on social media. These were all a si...

The Surprising Science of Happiness | Dan Gilbert

  "Turns out that freedom, the ability to make up and change your mind, is the friend of natural happiness"      Dan Gilbert talks about happiness as it comes with making choices. Making choices doesn't literally mean having to choose, but he explains it in a way that is interpreted by having to live on with something that was manipulated and chosen for you, or something that you were able to contemplate whether or not you want it. He later on speaks about an experiment that was done on Harvard photography students. Some of these students were given the choice to take home one of their photographs and not look back at the other one. Whereas the other half, were given a reversible option in which they had the option to go back and change which one they can go home with.      In my opinion, that actually does make sense. In a way, that is why some people are indecisive and find making any decision extremely hard since they always find a possibility of ha...
