                                                                      QUOTE


"You'll Miss The Best Things If You Keep Your Eyes Shut"
is a quote said by Dr.Seuss, who was a children's author, political cartoonist , poet, animator , screenwriter , film maker , and artist that was best known for his work writing and illustrating 60 books .

    This quote came from a book named"I Can't Read With My Eyes Shut"which Dr.Seuss published, the book is a book narrated by the famous "cat in the hat"and he named different methods on how to read. He also then claims the he can read certain words with his eyes shut however some consequences start showing when he reads with his eyes shut. Then, he also states that you can read much faster with your eyes opened.
     
 
          I inferred from the summary of the book that the "cat in the hat" isn't really full of education, he then starts talking about education and how reading can make you learn about new ideas and places. He also says"But its hard for my hat and makes my eyebrows get red hot,so...reading with my eyes shut I don't do an awful lot" which means he doesn't really like reading with his eyes closed, since its a hard task for him to do.

          I also believe he means try paying attention to the small details in life and read between the lines because you'll learn more things with your eyes open rather then shut.

The Danger of a Single Story - TedTalk

  The Danger of a Single Story       This TedTalk is about a girl from Nigeria, who has lived there up until she had to leave home to study abroad in the US. She talks about how she used to judge her new house boy because the only image she had of him was that he was poor. 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...
