Hapiness


Flow is the best mental state where somebody is totally involved in an activity. People who are in the flow state don’t have problems with attention because they can focus all the energy for fulfilling their projects. In this way, they are motivated, happy, optimist and confident. In my opinion, flow is more than a mental state, it is a feeling of satisfaction at doing something.

Life satisfaction is a subjective concept of happiness. Why is it subjective? Because, people are happy for different reasons, they don’t always share the same likes and ideas. This concept depends on a variety of factors; one of the most important is the quality of life, for instance, a good job. The most important things to consider in a normal life are love, luck, health and job, to name a few. If you ask me, a true love is the best thing that you can have, because when you love to someone and at the same this person loves you, it feels like an unbroken happiness feeling.

How they have been applied or what areas of life they’ve been applied to and how.
Do you believe in this idea of happiness?

Fistable, life satisfaction sounds like a capital dream. For example, commercials are always trying to sell satisfaction and happiness with their products or services to people. So, I really don’t believe in these kinds of superficial dreams. However, I think that I have a satisfactory life when the most important things in my life are working well. This feeling is awesome, you feel very optimist and with a lot of energy for doing different activities. In respect to flow, I used to be involved in the different activities of my life; however, this year I cannot enjoy my universities subjects and their corresponding works.

What do you think have been the happiest moments of your life?

I am not sure about it. Maybe, the happiest moments of my life have been to get my first dog and the second one (you can look them at the same order on the top of this post). Concerning this year, the happiest moment was to meet my current girlfriend.

Can you think of a person that inspires you in terms of having a positive attitude?

My friends inspire me with their comments and advices; nevertheless, nobody has always a positive attitude in front the life because we always have bad experiences which are not always easy to overcome, in particular, the death of a friend.

Why do you think so many people are unhappy in their jobs?

Well…Firstable, there are a lot of lousy jobs that really suck. I´ve worked in two supermarkets, and the paid was terrible. You can spend a lot of time working eight hours per day and at the end of month you receive a shitty salary. For example, the last time that I worked in Lider Santa Amalia supermarket I had to move the trollies, which were so exhausting. I did that only for a month, in that month I just had 6 days free. Finally, I got one hundred seventeen thousand pesos. I work 25 days in a month and I only received one hundred seventeen thousand pesos, OMG! It is like five thousand for day. I wouldn’t like to know if there are little ducks’ supermarkets, maybe in these places you receive one thousand for day. (Miss: You need to know what is Universidad de los Patitos y la librería delos patitos)

Second, most people only work for money, students in particular. In my case, I worked in supermarkets because I needed money. I didn’t want to be happy doing that. I have to admit that work is not bad at all, I found so funnies workmates. If you work you can find a variety of people. Nevertheless, if you receive a bad remuneration, you probably think that working is terrible.

If you could choose any job, what job would you choose and why?

I have two options. I would like to work in a nature reserve, like a veterinarian or whatever because I would like to help animals in dangerous. The other option is totally opposite, I would like to be a business magnate like Bill Gates because I could have a lot of money. In this way, I could do a lot of things.

Why do you think you would enjoy this job?

I think that I could enjoy working in a nature reserve because I could share with animals and help them. I will be happy if animals can live free or without dangers.

Why would it be a satisfying job to do?

Because when you can share with animals and help them, you feel that you are doing something good for them. I think one of the most satisfying jobs is helping others because you feel comfortable.

Do you know anybody who has this kind of job?

No, really. Nonetheless, I have watched a lot of movies and documentaries programs about conservation and protection of endangered species.
