                                                          Most Interesting Thing About Me

        A lot of people have something special about their personality, looks or even how they talk. Everyone has to have atleast one special characteristic about them. In the book (holes) there are alot of characters thats have a lot of different charactersitics. For example, Stanley is a very determined person ublike Zeros who is un-fixed. These are 2 interesting things about both characters and as u can tell they are very different.

         For me, I believe the most interesting thing about me is that I like trying new things and taking the best opportunities I can find. A lot of my friends always tell me thats they dont expect me to try new things and I guess thats a perfect example of “dont judge a book by its cover” . My sister also never believed me when i tell ger i like trying bew stuff, yet she always encourages me to try new things and get over my fear of roler coaster which is something new that i dont often try.

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...
