9 Ways to be Happy and Make Something of your Life

 

1. Be Grateful: feeling or showing an appreciation of kindness; thankful.

Not a lot of people in this world are grateful for what they have. Most people aren’t grateful for what is given to them. They might not like it and think that it sucks.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

John Wooden

2. Be smart-having or showing a quick-witted intelligence.

I believe that every human being is a smart person in their own way. That doesn’t mean that they make good decisions. I always try my best to be the smartest person that I can be. Some teenagers don’t do what’s smart and they listen to their friends when they are offered drugs or alcohol. This doesn’t mean that they are not smart it just means that they made a really bad decision. Although I feel like I have applied this new way I will continue to do so by doing good in school and listening to my parents when they offer me what is right

I never cut class. I loved getting A's, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

3.Be Involved in good works

Being involved in good works is a good thing for your human mind.I believe that helping somebody in a good way makes you feel a little bit better and it gives you a sense of pride and relief.I feel like i have applied this attrubute a while ago.I feel like i still need to apply this attribute more so i know that i am a good person in this world.Next the quote given here is an excellent example of good work.He is intending to telling us that forget about becoming a well known person for something.He is telling us being a good person will bring you the power and knowledge of becoming a star in this world.

Don't worry about being a star, worry about doing good work, and all that will come to you.

4.Be Clean
The meaning of the word clean is to be free from dirt ,marks,and stains.Being clean is can mean many different thing in different ways.For example being clean from drugs.Which means that you are trying to keep a good mindset.Being clean can also apply to the manner in which you talk.Like not saying any bad words or giving negativity.Clean can be used in many different ways and it is best for your to stay clean and stay from drugs and not saying any bad words.This quote given to us is a great example of what i am trying to explain.George is trying to tell us that if keep a good clean mindset and always think positive.He is telling us in which we are creating our own future for what we do today.

Better keep yourself clean and bright; you are the window through which you must see the world.

George Bernard Shaw

5.Be True
The definition of being true is to be conforming to reality or fact; not false.Being true can be different to some people than to others.For example being true can mean not saying any lies.It can also mean to stick to one thing.For example it can be like Kobe.He is true to the Lakers Organization.Or another example can be like always saying what is the truth and not lieing.This quote written by John Wooden is a good example of the attribute being true.He is telling us that you should be true to succeeding life.He is also telling us to live each day to learn as much as possible from the knowledge being given to you every day.Lastly he is telling us to overcome everything that gets in our way since we are true to one thing.No matter what you guys should get there.
Be true to yourself. Make each day a masterpiece. Help others. Drink deeply from good books. Make friendship a fine art. Build a shelter against a rainy day.

John Wooden

6.Be positive

The meaning of the word positive is consisting in or characterized by the presence or possession of features or qualities rather than their absence.This means that you always think in a good way and not in a bad way.This also means that when you feel negative about something you still do it because you expect a good outcome of this.This quote given by Helen is a good example of being positive.She is telling us that if you are in the darkest of tunnel, to not worry one bit.Because whatever you keep doing is going to take you in to the sunshine.When you see that sunshine you are leaving the shadow and drakness in your past.The way that i will apply this attribute is by helping someone out when they are feeling really down.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

Helen Keller

7.Be Humble
The meaning of the word Humble is a very important meaning to me.The dictionary meaning of the word Humble is having or showing a modest or low estimate of one's own importance.Humble is one attribute is one attrbute i can tell among people really quick.Humble to me is when a person appreciates what they have and are happy with it because thats the best that there family can do.For example when Christmas comes around and your parents buy you a xbox 360 but you really wanted the xbox one.You should be humble to say thank you.This quote given to us by John Madden is a great quote.He is saying when you are good at something you dont go on and showoff.You should motivate yourself to be better than that.He is also saying that when you win dont rub it in the other teams face.Congratulate them as well.
Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble.
