What is the happiness? Hmmm… It’s a difficult question and I’m definitely sure that happiness can’t mean the same to all the people.
May be for elderly people who have lived a long life it’s easier to find an answer for this question, but nevertheless I’ll try to give my own understanding of this phenomenon.
Happiness is something that lives inside each of us, but not all the people are able to feel it. You can neither buy happiness, nor sell it; you can never win it in the lottery; the only way to be happy is to grow your happiness. Have you ever noticed that some people are always grumbling about their endless problems, dissatisfaction in life and even about the dull weather that annoys them? Such people see only dark sides in everything and it prevents them from being happy. But look at other people! At first sight they have nothing in life; they don’t have stable jobs or their own apartments, but they are really happy; they meet every day with a smile, they laugh and receive pleasure from life. Isn’t that great?
I personally appreciate such people and I believe that happiness is to live your life, to enjoy every day of your life, to be glad to every minute and to receive with thanks everything that life offers you. And even when it gives you hardships and difficulties, it gives you strength to overcome them. Happiness means to live your life in such a way that when retired you have something to remember and to be proud of, some pleasant moments that will always evoke a smile.
I’m sure that I’m a happy person: I have many friends, loving parents, goals in my life, etc. As one of my friends says if you are not a handicapped person you are a really lucky and happy one. And I think that is true. I try to enjoy every day of my life and be happy all the time: to smile when I wake up because of the bright sun shining directly into my window, to feel happiness somewhere deep inside playing snowballs or swimming in the sea, to feel pleasure when I see a child happily laughing or when I look at a large rainbow after a downpour. So be happy!

All happy people are happy identically. But for each person the meaning of this word is different. Sometimes they understand that their life is coming to an end, but they can`t explain what happiness is.
For one person it means a family with a lot of children. For another it means a chic cottage on a beach near the ocean. I know a couple who are quite happy although they live in a poor village and they work hard from early morning till late at night. They have six children, their education is only thru the eight class. They haven`t any opportunity to travel and they haven`t been even in Moscow. But they are happy because they breathe fresh air and eat ecological products.
As for me, I don`t know what happiness is. Some years ago I thought I could be happy only if I`d have a
Family and a child. Now I understand that it isn`t enough for me and I need something else.
We all know the stories when people begin to appreciate what they have only after a terrible or dramatic accident has happened. And they understand that they need nothing to be happy, only to be healthy.
So, does it mean that happiness is health? I don`t know yet.
Все счастливые люди счастливы одинаково. Но для каждого человека значение этого слова различно. Иногда они понимают, что жизнь заканчивается, а объяснить, что такое счастье они не могут.
Для одного человека счастье – это семья и ребенок. Для другого – шикарный коттедж на берегу океана. Я знакома с парой, которая вполне счастлива, хотя живут они в деревне, работают с утра до вечера. У них шестеро детей и образование 8 классов. У них нет возможности путешествовать, и они никогда не были даже в Москве. Но они счастливы, потому что дышат свежим воздухом и питаются экологически чистыми продуктами.
Что касается меня, я не знаю, что такое счастье. Несколько лет назад я думала, что могу быть счастлива только при наличии семьи и ребенка. Теперь я понимаю, что этого недостаточно и мне нужно что-то еще.
Мы все знаем истории, когда люди начинают ценить то, что имеют, только после того как с ними произойдет что-либо трагическое. И они понимают, чтобы быть счастливыми, им не нужно ничего, только быть здоровыми.
Итак, значит ли, что счастье есть здоровье? Я пока не знаю.
Happiness is a state of mind when we are satisfied with our life and full of energy. But how can it be reached?
First of all, we have to make the people who surround us happy. In particularly, they are our relatives and friends. As it is known, positive emotions (as well as negative) can be communicated to the others. So, a person can scarcely be happy looking at miserable faces.
As for personal success, everybody have different opinion on this score. For the ones it is a lucky career, but for the others – an affectionate and understanding family or just a quiet life in the countryside.
One of theuniversal ways to happiness is an ability to define a purpose and to make all the necessary efforts to reach it. As I have already assured, that gives an opportunety to feel
Relative freedom and self-sufficiency.
Anyway, all the people use their own means to gain happiness. At the same time, we do not always manage to fulfil all the designed plans. Despite this fact, we should not give way to dispair, since belief in success is not less important.
I would like to write about the role of cosmetic for people. Each person dreams about ideal skin, body, hair, nails. In the modern world you cannot do without cosmetics. Men and women want to look great. Health and beauty products are very effective for this aim. In the world there are many different companies. For example, AVON, Oriflame, Faberlik, Mary Key, Mia.
As for me, I have been using Avon cosmetics since 2007. This cosmetic is really for me. My lips look wonderful, my skin is soft. Different creams, gels, hairsprays, lip gloss, inks and others are very useful for me. Every morning I put inkon eyes. They become more expressive. Lip gloss helps my lips to look gentle, shiny, and fresh. It`s very important in my make-up.
Also, Avon cosmetic includes different perfumes:
For example, Pur blanka, True glow, Incandescence. They are associated with different smells: fruit, flowers, fresh, and sea. As for me, I prefer Pur Blanca Blossom. This perfume is soft, womanly, and romantic. I am happy. I would recommend the perfume “Make me wonder”. This smell is for girls, who love the East. It is fruity. In the Avon catalogue you can see perfume for man. For example, Full Speed, Black Suede Touch. They have pleasant smells.
In this catalogue you can see accessory, too. It includes earrings, rings, and necklace. Also it includes clutches and bags, umbrellas. These things are very important for girls. They have supplement style.
Sometime I use cosmetic from Faberlik. This cosmetic is usually issued by separate series. For a day I have series,
Which consist of gel, soap, scrub for body, foam for a bath, and face pack. Smell of these products is juicy and tasty. It offers smell of apples and currant. It is associated with autumn.
I think that ordering cosmetic in the catalogue is very convenient. You can sit in the house with a computer or read a catalogue and choose necessary cosmetics. You will receive the ordered products for a month. On the other hand, it is long. But you will see desirable result.
I am sure that cosmetic helps you look great. But it is not necessary to abuse it. Natural beauty is your advantage. Cosmetic underlines it.

Happiness is all about everyday, normal activities, psychologists have argued, but do we intuitively understand what strategies increase happiness or not? To find out if students knew, Tkach and Lyubomirsky (2006) asked 500 undergraduates about the strategies they used to increase their happiness.
Below are the strategies students reported using, starting with the most frequently used, down to the least. Also, for each strategy Tkach and Lyubomirsky looked at the relationship between its use and students’ reported levels of happiness to see if those who used a particular strategy were actually happier.
Keep in mind that this is a correlational study. That means it can only tell us that two things – like having a social life and happiness – are related, not that one definitely causes the other. That said, there are other studies which do provide evidence of causality in some categories.
1. A social life
Social affiliation (присоединение; прием, принятие в члены) – hanging around with friends, helping others – was the most frequently reported method of increasing happiness. It also had the strongest relationship with student’s actual happiness. No surprises here. Experiments manipulating people’s social activity have found that when increased it leads to more happiness. It’s gratifying to see that the number 1, most frequently used strategy probably does work!
2. Acting happy
Direct strategies like ‘acting happy’ and ‘smiling’ were the second most popular. While there is some experimental evidence to back this one up, Tkach and Lyubomirsky are cautious. I’d be cautious as well. ‘Acting happy’ might be useful as a short-term strategy but I’m not so sure about its useful in the long-term.
3. Achieving long-term goals
The students were pretty keen on setting themselves long-term goals for personal achievement, and then sticking to them. This was a relatively popular strategy for increasing happiness and there are also a good few studies to back up this finding. Well done to the students!
4. Passive leisure pursuits (занятие)
Here’s the first bad boy. Passive leisure, like watching TV or playing video games, while relatively popular, showed no connection with happiness. Experimental studies back this up finding few benefits for happiness from passive leisure activities. So, once again, it’s time to chuck out the the idiot box and the Xbox.
5. Active leisure pursuits
No question about this one. It’s very well established that active leisure pursuits like running or cycling increase happiness. What’s worrying is that these pursuits come lower down the list than passive leisure pursuits.
6. Religion
This was a relatively unpopular strategy for increasing happiness, although it is reasonably well-established that religion and being happy go together. Tkach and Lyubomirsky suggest the reason for this connection could be to do with social connectedness, having a sense of purpose in life or even reduced alcohol consumption.
7. Partying and clubbing
Perhaps surprisingly amongst university students this was relatively unpopular as a happiness-enhancing activity. It’s just as well since those who partied more weren’t any happier, once their extraversion was taken into account.
8. Mental control
This is the second bad boy. It centres around thinking bad thoughts: both contemplating them and trying to suppress them. This category was significantly associated with being unhappy. Indeed, previous research has found that both ruminating on negative thoughts and trying to suppress negative thoughts leads to unhappiness.
A (mostly) positive message
This last category of mental control really stands out: what on earth is it doing on a list of strategies to increase happiness? Statistically it was the strongest predictor of unhappiness. This suggests that a significant minority of people have exactly the wrong idea about what strategies increase happiness.
Passive leisure pursuits is the other category that stands out. All the other categories in the top 6 have at least some connection with happiness. This one has none and yet there it is at number 4 in the list.
The positive message is that generally the strategies that people use to increase their happiness do actually work. We’re relying on self-reports here, so people could well be misrepresenting what they actually do – but at least they mostly know what they’re supposed to be doing.

The article started off by saying that no person chooses to be unhappy. If this is
true, then we all must try to be happy. We all must search for some innate happiness to
fulfill our lives and hearts. However, that’s not the point the spitzer brings up. Spitzer is
trying to make people realize that there are different levels to happiness, and that each
one greatly differs from the last even if they’re all forms of happiness. It says there’s
material happiness, or happiness in a thing or possession that you own. Another
happiness it tells you about is feeling superior, or better than someone else. I think that is
a wrong kind of happiness. There’s another type of happiness where you feel happy about
doing charitable works, or seeing the good in other people. I don’t think anyone can be
truly content if they don’t believe that people are good. The last category of happiness is
the one where you’re just completely content with yourself and your surroundings. This
is true happiness. It can be achieved by love or goodness. I think that of the four
categories, this is the one that everyone is striving for.
The second essay goes even much deeper than that, telling us that there is
something that we strive for more than even happines. It says that there is a thign that can
fulfill us more deeply than the feelings that happiness gives to us. Kreeft brings up a very
good point when he talks about how sex is often times subsituted for sanctity or
something else that’s missing in a persons life. With my own experiences with it, I can
definitely see how he has a point. I’ve known partners who seem to use sex to fill a void
in their life instead of trying to fix it. He tells perople to get off of their butts and actually
go out and find their joy, not just sit down and mope, longing for some type of joy. He
seems to really believe that sex can be a good thing, under the right circumstances, but
should never be substitued for your heavenly grace. That, above everything else, seems to
be his main focus in the article
Coming from the viewpoint of a “new age hippie”, or so I am called by
many, I found these articles on happiness quite interesting. I find that I , myself, do not
focus on the materialistic pleasures or the simple pleasures that get in the way. These
forms of happiness are just trivial things compared to the true happiness that you can
achieve in life. If you exclude these small things, and hold on to your faith and strive for
true contentment in the good of others and love, then I believe it’s possible to attain a
profound form of satisfaction throughout your entire life. As I mentioned earlier in the
article, I have had a few experiences with the main topic of the third article, sex. As a
“hippie” our morals about it are semi-loose. I did not agree with everything Kreeft said in
his article. However, I did feel that he brought up very good points about sex. While I
believe there Is nothing wrong with it before marriage, I do believe both partners should
love each other. Sex without love and true consent is a complete waste of time an energy.
You simply do not get the same deep gratification when you sleep with someone for the
carnal pleasure than you do when you sleep with someone because you love them.
For a long time people have tried to find the recipe of happiness which is simple, easy and accessible to everybody. However till now there is poverty, grief and illness near to richness, pleasure and youth in the world. And it means that happiness is not identical with different people. It can`t be the same to everybody!
The aim of the life of many people consists just in finding the recipe of (his) her happiness. So, what is happiness then?
Everybody has its own view of happiness. For someone it is a good work, for others – children or money. Many of us dream of fame! To my mind, the life is the happiness too. And if we do not learn the main moments and gold rules of the life then the collision with problems can seriously affects our life, and, therefore, our happiness. It is important to have the purpose in the life to know where to find the happiness. It seems to me, that if you want to be successful in your life it is necessary to work hard, because in fact, there is nothing in the world given for no particular reason. So, if you want to get prestigious and high – paid work, it is necessary to study well. If you want your children to be clever and kind, it is impossible to bring them up in a slipshod manner. You must deserve the authority above others, because not everyone will allow ruling and governing themselves. That is why they say: the person is the creator of his happiness. Others can only help you with the achievement of the purpose, supporting in a difficult minute, but the lion`s share of work should be done by yourself. And in general, your lifewill be so as it was said in my favourite cartoon: “as you name a yacht, so it will float”.
So, your life is in your hands. And for the achievement of the definite purpose in your life you have to do your best, probably refuse or overcome something in yourself, undergo a period of failures and always hope, that the happiness exists, that it is achievable.
Перевод:
Люди давно уже стараются отыскать рецепт счастья – простого, легкого и доступного всем. Однако в мире до сих пор рядом с богатством, радостью и молодостью существует нищета, горе и болезни. А это говорит о том, что счастья, одинаково для всех, не бывает! Смысл жизни многих людей заключается как раз в том, чтобы найти свое счастье. Что же такое счастье? У каждого оно свое. Для кого-то это хорошая работа, для кого-то – дети или деньги. Многие из нас хотят быть знаменитыми.
Cама жизнь – это тоже счастье. И если не усвоить основные моменты и золотые правила жизни, то столкновение с проблемами может серьезно повлиять на жизнь человека, а, следовательно, на его счастье. Для того, чтобы знать, где найти свое счастье человеку важно иметь цель в жизни. Мне кажется, для того, чтобы твоя жизнь складывалась так, как хочется, нужно много работать, ведь ничего в мире не дается просто так. Если ты хочешь получить престижную работу, необходимо хорошо и долго учиться. Если ты хочешь, чтобы дети выросли умными и добрыми, нельзя спустя рукава относиться к их воспитанию. Даже власть над другими нужно заслужить, потому что далеко не каждому люди позволят руководить и управлять собой. Вот почему говорят: человек сам творец своего счастья. Окружающие могут лишь помочь тебе в достижении цели, поддержать в трудную минуту, но основную работу придется выполнять самостоятельно. И вообще, в жизни как в моем любимом мультфильме: “Как вы яхту назовете, так она и поплывет”.
Твоя жизнь – в твоих руках. И для достижения заветной цели в жизни необходимо приложить много усилий, возможно,отказаться от чего-то, что-то в себе преодолеть, претерпеть полосу неудач и всегда верить, что счастье все-таки существует, что оно достижимо.
All happy people are happy identically. But for each person the meaning of this word is different. Sometimes they understand that their life is coming to an end, but they can`t explain what happiness is.
For one person it means a family with a lot of children. For another it means a chic cottage on a beach near the ocean. I know a couple who are quite happy although they live in a poor village and they work hard from early morning till late at night. They have six children, their education is only thru the eight class. They haven`t any opportunity to travel and they haven`t been even in Moscow. But they are happy because they breathe fresh air and eat ecological products.
As for me, I don`t know what happiness is. Some years ago I thought I could be happy only if I`d have a
Family and a child. Now I understand that it isn`t enough for me and I need something else.
We all know the stories when people begin to appreciate what they have only after a terrible or dramatic accident has happened. And they understand that they need nothing to be happy, only to be healthy.

What is the happiness? Hmmm… It’s a difficult question and I’m definitely sure that happiness can’t mean the same to all the people.
May be for elderly people who have lived a long life it’s easier to find an answer for this question, but nevertheless I’ll try to give my own understanding of this phenomenon.
Happiness is something that lives inside each of us, but not all the people are able to feel it. You can neither buy happiness, nor sell it; you can never win it in the lottery; the only way to be happy is to grow your happiness. Have you ever noticed that some people are always grumbling about their endless problems, dissatisfaction in life and even about the dull weather that annoys them? Such people see only dark sides in everything and it prevents them from being happy. But look at other people! At first sight they have nothing in life; they don’t have stable jobs or their own apartments, but they are really happy; they meet every day with a smile, they laugh and receive pleasure from life. Isn’t that great?
I personally appreciate such people and I believe that happiness is to live your life, to enjoy every day of your life, to be glad to every minute and to receive with thanks everything that life offers you. And even when it gives you hardships and difficulties, it gives you strength to overcome them. Happiness means to live your life in such a way that when retired you have something to remember and to be proud of, some pleasant moments that will always evoke a smile.
I’m sure that I’m a happy person: I have many friends, loving parents, goals in my life, etc. As one of my friends says if you are not a handicapped person you are a really lucky and happy one. And I think that is true. I try to enjoy every day of my life and be happy all the time: to smile when I wake up because of the bright sun shining directly into my window, to feel happiness somewhere deep inside playing snowballs or swimming in the sea, to feel pleasure when I see a child happily laughing or when I look at a large rainbow after a downpour. So be happy!

Что такое счастье? Произведение-рассуждение Описать понятие “счастье” невозможно, можно описать ощущения, чувства, состояние. Ощущение счастья может выражаться едва заметно, если посмотреть в глаза человека, а они излучают радость, восторг….
Home is happiness “Happiness is not some abstract notion. It is made of priceless moments which constitute our life: warm gatherings with friends; family dinners; coming back home…
What is happiness? Everybody understands the concept of “happiness” in one’s own way.
As for me, happiness is the fact that I live, that I have got a lovely grandfather, grandmother and parents. My best friends always help and support me, they are very outgoing and responsive. Personally I can’t be in a company where someone doesn’t understand me. In my opinion, happiness is when you are in a company that understands and shares your interests in something.
Happiness is when you realize that someone needs you, when you can fully satisfy your needs.
Happiness is when you can be happy looking at the sun,the earth, looking at the world with healthy eyes. But more and more people are suffering from incurable illnesses, for example, cancer.
Everybody dreams about something. Someone wants to lose weight, to live at the beach and drive a luxurous car. The person, who suffers from cancer, wants only one thing – to win his illness. It is necessary to appreciate every day of life.
Happiness is peace at home, when parents don’t argue, love their child and do everything they can for their child to grow happily. But unfortunately there are families where a child can’t live a full life. These children need special care. Every child needs the parents’ care for his or her absolute happiness.
For some people happiness is their material welfare. Yes, it’s partly true.
Of course, people of different ages have different conceptions of happiness.
A child needs parents’ care for absolute happiness.
In adolescence the views on life and the world begin to be formed. This is the time when you are already neither a child nor an adult yet. First love, first quarrel, first troubles… A teenager needs to be understood by someone except parents, that’s why a teenager needs friendship and a family.
For adult people happiness means a complete family, an opportunity to have a prestige job.
And for elderly people happiness is when their grandsons and granddaughters feel well and they are also healthy.
All in all, happiness is to live today, to enjoy every moment and to accept everything that life gives us.
Что такое счастье? Понятие “счастье” каждый понимает по-своему.
Для меня счастье – это то, что я живу, что у меня есть любимые дедушка, бабушка и родители. Лучшие друзья, которые всегда помогают и поддерживают меня; они очень общительные и отзывчивые. Лично я не могу быть в компании, где кто-то не понимает меня. На мой взгляд, счастье, когда ты находишься в компании, которая понимает и разделяет твои интересы о чём-либо.
Счастье – это когда ты понимаешь, что кто-то нуждается в тебе, когда ты можешь полностью удовлетворить свои потребности.
Счастье, когда ты можешь радоваться, глядя на солнце, землю, смотреть на мир здоровыми глазами. Но всё больше и больше людей страдают неизлечимыми болезнями, например, рак.
Каждый о чём-то мечтает. Кто-то хочет сбросить вес, жить на пляже и водить роскошную машину. Человек, который страдает от рака, хочет только одного – победить его болезнь. Необходимо ценить каждый день жизни.
Счастье – мир, царящий в доме, когда родители не ругаются, любят ребёнка и делают всё возможное, чтобы их ребёнок рос счастливо. Но, к несчастью, есть неблагополучные семьи, в которых ребёнок не может жить полноценной жизнью. Эти дети нуждаются в особой опеке. Каждый ребёнок нуждается в родительской заботе для его или её абсолютного счастья.
Для некоторых людей счастье заключается в их материальном благополучии. Да, это отчасти верно.
Конечно, у людей разных возрастов разные понятия о счастье.
Ребёнок нуждается в родительской опеке для абсолютного счастья.
В подростковом возрасте начинают формироваться мировоззрение, взгляды на жизнь. Это время, когда ты не ребёнок, но уже и не взрослый. Первая любовь, первые ссоры, первые проблемы… Подросток должен быть понят кем-то, кроме родителей, поэтому подросток нуждается в дружбе и семье.
Для взрослых людей счастье означает полное семейство, возможность иметь престижную работу.
И для пожилых людей счастье, когда их внуки и внучки чувствуют себя хорошо и также здоровы.
В общем, счастье – жить сегодняшним днём, наслаждаясь каждым моментом и принимать всё, что даёт нам жизнь.

All happy people are happy identically. But for each person the meaning of this word is different. Sometimes they understand that their life is coming to an end, but they can`t explain what happiness is.
For one person it means a family with a lot of children. For another it means a chic cottage on a beach near the ocean. I know a couple who are quite happy although they live in a poor village and they work hard from early morning till late at night. They have six children, their education is only thru the eight class. They haven`t any opportunity to travel and they haven`t been even in Moscow. But they are happy because they breathe fresh air and eat ecological products.
As for me, I don`t know what happiness is. Some years ago I thought I could be happy only if I`d have a
Family and a child. Now I understand that it isn`t enough for me and I need something else.
We all know the stories when people begin to appreciate what they have only after a terrible or dramatic accident has happened. And they understand that they need nothing to be happy, only to be healthy.
So, does it mean that happiness is health? I don`t know yet.
Все счастливые люди счастливы одинаково. Но для каждого человека значение этого слова различно. Иногда они понимают, что жизнь заканчивается, а объяснить, что такое счастье они не могут.
Для одного человека счастье – это семья и ребенок. Для другого – шикарный коттедж на берегу океана. Я знакома с парой, которая вполне счастлива, хотя живут они в деревне, работают с утра до вечера. У них шестеро детей и образование 8 классов. У них нет возможности путешествовать, и они никогда не были даже в Москве. Но они счастливы, потому что дышат свежим воздухом и питаются экологически чистыми продуктами.
Что касается меня, я не знаю, что такое счастье. Несколько лет назад я думала, что могу быть счастлива только при наличии семьи и ребенка. Теперь я понимаю, что этого недостаточно и мне нужно что-то еще.
Мы все знаем истории, когда люди начинают ценить то, что имеют, только после того как с ними произойдет что-либо трагическое. И они понимают, чтобы быть счастливыми, им не нужно ничего, только быть здоровыми.
Итак, значит ли, что счастье есть здоровье? Я пока не знаю.
Happiness is a state of mind when we are satisfied with our life and full of energy. But how can it be reached?
First of all, we have to make the people who surround us happy. In particularly, they are our relatives and friends. As it is known, positive emotions (as well as negative) can be communicated to the others. So, a person can scarcely be happy looking at miserable faces.
As for personal success, everybody have different opinion on this score. For the ones it is a lucky career, but for the others – an affectionate and understanding family or just a quiet life in the countryside.
One of theuniversal ways to happiness is an ability to define a purpose and to make all the necessary efforts to reach it. As I have already assured, that gives an opportunety to feel
Relative freedom and self-sufficiency.
Anyway, all the people use their own means to gain happiness. At the same time, we do not always manage to fulfil all the designed plans. Despite this fact, we should not give way to dispair, since belief in success is not less important.
I would like to write about the role of cosmetic for people. Each person dreams about ideal skin, body, hair, nails. In the modern world you cannot do without cosmetics. Men and women want to look great. Health and beauty products are very effective for this aim. In the world there are many different companies. For example, AVON, Oriflame, Faberlik, Mary Key, Mia.
As for me, I have been using Avon cosmetics since 2007. This cosmetic is really for me. My lips look wonderful, my skin is soft. Different creams, gels, hairsprays, lip gloss, inks and others are very useful for me. Every morning I put inkon eyes. They become more expressive. Lip gloss helps my lips to look gentle, shiny, and fresh. It`s very important in my make-up.
Also, Avon cosmetic includes different perfumes:
For example, Pur blanka, True glow, Incandescence. They are associated with different smells: fruit, flowers, fresh, and sea. As for me, I prefer Pur Blanca Blossom. This perfume is soft, womanly, and romantic. I am happy. I would recommend the perfume “Make me wonder”. This smell is for girls, who love the East. It is fruity. In the Avon catalogue you can see perfume for man. For example, Full Speed, Black Suede Touch. They have pleasant smells.
In this catalogue you can see accessory, too. It includes earrings, rings, and necklace. Also it includes clutches and bags, umbrellas. These things are very important for girls. They have supplement style.
Sometime I use cosmetic from Faberlik. This cosmetic is usually issued by separate series. For a day I have series,
Which consist of gel, soap, scrub for body, foam for a bath, and face pack. Smell of these products is juicy and tasty. It offers smell of apples and currant. It is associated with autumn.
I think that ordering cosmetic in the catalogue is very convenient. You can sit in the house with a computer or read a catalogue and choose necessary cosmetics. You will receive the ordered products for a month. On the other hand, it is long. But you will see desirable result.
I am sure that cosmetic helps you look great. But it is not necessary to abuse it. Natural beauty is your advantage. Cosmetic underlines it.

Happiness is all about everyday, normal activities, psychologists have argued, but do we intuitively understand what strategies increase happiness or not? To find out if students knew, Tkach and Lyubomirsky (2006) asked 500 undergraduates about the strategies they used to increase their happiness.
Below are the strategies students reported using, starting with the most frequently used, down to the least. Also, for each strategy Tkach and Lyubomirsky looked at the relationship between its use and students’ reported levels of happiness to see if those who used a particular strategy were actually happier.
Keep in mind that this is a correlational study. That means it can only tell us that two things – like having a social life and happiness – are related, not that one definitely causes the other. That said, there are other studies which do provide evidence of causality in some categories.
1. A social life
Social affiliation (присоединение; прием, принятие в члены) – hanging around with friends, helping others – was the most frequently reported method of increasing happiness. It also had the strongest relationship with student’s actual happiness. No surprises here. Experiments manipulating people’s social activity have found that when increased it leads to more happiness. It’s gratifying to see that the number 1, most frequently used strategy probably does work!
2. Acting happy
Direct strategies like ‘acting happy’ and ‘smiling’ were the second most popular. While there is some experimental evidence to back this one up, Tkach and Lyubomirsky are cautious. I’d be cautious as well. ‘Acting happy’ might be useful as a short-term strategy but I’m not so sure about its useful in the long-term.
3. Achieving long-term goals
The students were pretty keen on setting themselves long-term goals for personal achievement, and then sticking to them. This was a relatively popular strategy for increasing happiness and there are also a good few studies to back up this finding. Well done to the students!
4. Passive leisure pursuits (занятие)
Here’s the first bad boy. Passive leisure, like watching TV or playing video games, while relatively popular, showed no connection with happiness. Experimental studies back this up finding few benefits for happiness from passive leisure activities. So, once again, it’s time to chuck out the the idiot box and the Xbox.
5. Active leisure pursuits
No question about this one. It’s very well established that active leisure pursuits like running or cycling increase happiness. What’s worrying is that these pursuits come lower down the list than passive leisure pursuits.
6. Religion
This was a relatively unpopular strategy for increasing happiness, although it is reasonably well-established that religion and being happy go together. Tkach and Lyubomirsky suggest the reason for this connection could be to do with social connectedness, having a sense of purpose in life or even reduced alcohol consumption.
7. Partying and clubbing
Perhaps surprisingly amongst university students this was relatively unpopular as a happiness-enhancing activity. It’s just as well since those who partied more weren’t any happier, once their extraversion was taken into account.
8. Mental control
This is the second bad boy. It centres around thinking bad thoughts: both contemplating them and trying to suppress them. This category was significantly associated with being unhappy. Indeed, previous research has found that both ruminating on negative thoughts and trying to suppress negative thoughts leads to unhappiness.
A (mostly) positive message
This last category of mental control really stands out: what on earth is it doing on a list of strategies to increase happiness? Statistically it was the strongest predictor of unhappiness. This suggests that a significant minority of people have exactly the wrong idea about what strategies increase happiness.
Passive leisure pursuits is the other category that stands out. All the other categories in the top 6 have at least some connection with happiness. This one has none and yet there it is at number 4 in the list.
The positive message is that generally the strategies that people use to increase their happiness do actually work. We’re relying on self-reports here, so people could well be misrepresenting what they actually do – but at least they mostly know what they’re supposed to be doing.

What is happiness? Where we should found it? Such questions come to our mind very often. But though the answers to these questions are simple they are not so easy to find out.
As a general rule, people looks after happiness in the world that surrounds them, but not in themselves. They suppose a happy event must pass or they must meet somebody on their life’s way and do something extraordinary to them and then this long-expected happiness will come.
But we do not realize that on a such way we do not participate in achieving this desirable sense that is why we often rest only unhappy watchers, other word persons waiting constantly their own miracle. In my opinion that is this constant waiting of happiness that transforms automatically in a specific feeling, – “present future”. And what feels a person in this case? Discontent! Anxiety! Our expectations give no results while time passes. And these desired events stay away from us and come to the people that least of all worthy of them as it seem to us. Therefore we begin to think we did not approach to our happiness in the life and have nothing besides some moment in the past where we felt happy but did not remark it.
On the other hand we begin to realize we should struggle for own happiness thanks to this dissatisfaction. Then we start to labour with patience and look backward over earlier mistakes leaving no any time for sorrowful reflections. Otherwise we could not avoid the most painful state of mind, – depression. While feeling distraction we should maintain our firmness in realization of all our wishes as soon as we would reachour aim, – to build a career, to become honorable, significant person. And these aims are in the future.
But with what is filled each day of our aimless life as it seems to be at first sight? The answer is evident – with the desire to reach everything we want as soon as possible. But a paradox appears! As soon as we have reached it we do not feel these pleasant senses we expect and then we begin to desire more things or we do not desire anything and do not strain after anything in the life.
So, what is the way to follow? Perhaps we should learn to associate happiness not as the aim of life, but as more positive identity and perception of the world that is around us.
We are born to be happy! We should not possess anything special to feel harmony. And happiness is not a permanent compartment, but distinct moment of joy, pleasure, harmony that we can see in our everyday life if we want it.
The majority of us are happy indeed!We should only learn to appreciate the things we already have: our loved ones, beloved persons that do very important things to us. Happiness is to be occupied with favorite deeds.
Pay attention to small pleasant things that fill every day of our life. And then every event will enrich you with positive or negative but still life’s experience! This is a real happiness.
Что такое счастье? Где его найти? Подобные вопросы часто приходят к нам в голову, но как бы просто не звучали они, ответ найти совсем не просто.
Люди ищут счастье в окружающем мире, а не в себе. Они думают, что должно произойти какое-то приятное событие, или что им должен встретиться кто-то на их пути и сделать для них нечто необыкновенное, вот тогда и наступит это долгожданное счастье.
Но мы не понимаем, что тем самым мы никак не участвуем в достижении этого заветного чувства, поэтому мы часто остаемся лишь несчастными наблюдателями,а точнее постоянными ожидающими своего чуда. По моему мнению, именно это постоянное ожидание счастья перерастает автоматически в некое специфичное состояние, – настоящее будущее. Что же при этом чувствует человек? Неудовлетворенность! Тоску! Наши ожидания не приносят со временем ничего. Эти самые долгожданные события обходят стороной, и одаривают тех людей, которые, как нам кажется, наименее всего заслуживают этого. Поэтому мы начинаем предполагать, что так и не приблизились к своему счастью в жизни. И имеем лишь считанные моменты из прошлого, когда мы чувствовали себя счастливыми, но не замечали этого.
С другой стороны, мы можем понять, осмыслить, что нам необходимо бороться за свое счастье именно благодаря этой неудовлетворенности. Тогда мы начнем упорно трудиться и учиться на собственных ошибках, не давая себя времени на грустные размышления. Иначе не избежать самого тяжкого состояния души, – депрессии. В минуты отчаяния нужно поддерживать свою уверенность в том, что все свои желаниямы реализуем, когда достигнем своей цели: построить карьеру, стать уважаемым, значимым человеком. И эти цели – в будущем.
Чем же заполнен каждый день нашей бесцельной на первый взгляд жизни? Желанием быстрее всего добиться, к чему стремимся … Но парадокс! Как только мы достигаем этого, нам это не приносит столь ожидаемого радостного чувства, и мы начинаем, или хотеть большего, или мы уже ничего кроме этого не желаем и ни к чему не стремимся в жизни.
Каков же выход? Возможно, нам надо научиться относиться к счастью не как к цели, а как к более положительному самоощущению и восприятию того, что нас окружает.
Мы рождены, чтобы быть счастливыми! Нам не нужно чем-то обладать, чтобы ощутить гармонию. И счастье – это не постоянное состояние, а как раз отдельные моменты радости, удовольствия, гармонии, которые при желании можно увидеть в своей повседневной жизни.
Большинство из нас счастливы! Нужно лишь ценить то, что у нас уже есть: близкие, любимые люди, которые столько важного делают для нас. Счастье – это заниматься любимыми делами.
Обращайте внимание на приятные мелочи, которыми наполнен каждый день нашей жизни. И каждое событие вас обогатит положительному или отрицательному, но все-таки опыту! Это и есть счастье.

The article started off by saying that no person chooses to be unhappy. If this is
true, then we all must try to be happy. We all must search for some innate happiness to
fulfill our lives and hearts. However, that’s not the point the spitzer brings up. Spitzer is
trying to make people realize that there are different levels to happiness, and that each
one greatly differs from the last even if they’re all forms of happiness. It says there’s
material happiness, or happiness in a thing or possession that you own. Another
happiness it tells you about is feeling superior, or better than someone else. I think that is
a wrong kind of happiness. There’s another type of happiness where you feel happy about
doing charitable works, or seeing the good in other people. I don’t think anyone can be
truly content if they don’t believe that people are good. The last category of happiness is
the one where you’re just completely content with yourself and your surroundings. This
is true happiness. It can be achieved by love or goodness. I think that of the four
categories, this is the one that everyone is striving for.
The second essay goes even much deeper than that, telling us that there is
something that we strive for more than even happines. It says that there is a thign that can
fulfill us more deeply than the feelings that happiness gives to us. Kreeft brings up a very
good point when he talks about how sex is often times subsituted for sanctity or
something else that’s missing in a persons life. With my own experiences with it, I can
definitely see how he has a point. I’ve known partners who seem to use sex to fill a void
in their life instead of trying to fix it. He tells perople to get off of their butts and actually
go out and find their joy, not just sit down and mope, longing for some type of joy. He
seems to really believe that sex can be a good thing, under the right circumstances, but
should never be substitued for your heavenly grace. That, above everything else, seems to
be his main focus in the article
Coming from the viewpoint of a “new age hippie”, or so I am called by
many, I found these articles on happiness quite interesting. I find that I , myself, do not
focus on the materialistic pleasures or the simple pleasures that get in the way. These
forms of happiness are just trivial things compared to the true happiness that you can
achieve in life. If you exclude these small things, and hold on to your faith and strive for
true contentment in the good of others and love, then I believe it’s possible to attain a
profound form of satisfaction throughout your entire life. As I mentioned earlier in the
article, I have had a few experiences with the main topic of the third article, sex. As a
“hippie” our morals about it are semi-loose. I did not agree with everything Kreeft said in
his article. However, I did feel that he brought up very good points about sex. While I
believe there Is nothing wrong with it before marriage, I do believe both partners should
love each other. Sex without love and true consent is a complete waste of time an energy.
You simply do not get the same deep gratification when you sleep with someone for the
carnal pleasure than you do when you sleep with someone because you love them.
For a long time people have tried to find the recipe of happiness which is simple, easy and accessible to everybody. However till now there is poverty, grief and illness near to richness, pleasure and youth in the world. And it means that happiness is not identical with different people. It can`t be the same to everybody!
The aim of the life of many people consists just in finding the recipe of (his) her happiness. So, what is happiness then?
Everybody has its own view of happiness. For someone it is a good work, for others – children or money. Many of us dream of fame! To my mind, the life is the happiness too. And if we do not learn the main moments and gold rules of the life then the collision with problems can seriously affects our life, and, therefore, our happiness. It is important to have the purpose in the life to know where to find the happiness. It seems to me, that if you want to be successful in your life it is necessary to work hard, because in fact, there is nothing in the world given for no particular reason. So, if you want to get prestigious and high – paid work, it is necessary to study well. If you want your children to be clever and kind, it is impossible to bring them up in a slipshod manner. You must deserve the authority above others, because not everyone will allow ruling and governing themselves. That is why they say: the person is the creator of his happiness. Others can only help you with the achievement of the purpose, supporting in a difficult minute, but the lion`s share of work should be done by yourself. And in general, your lifewill be so as it was said in my favourite cartoon: “as you name a yacht, so it will float”.
So, your life is in your hands. And for the achievement of the definite purpose in your life you have to do your best, probably refuse or overcome something in yourself, undergo a period of failures and always hope, that the happiness exists, that it is achievable.
Перевод:
Люди давно уже стараются отыскать рецепт счастья – простого, легкого и доступного всем. Однако в мире до сих пор рядом с богатством, радостью и молодостью существует нищета, горе и болезни. А это говорит о том, что счастья, одинаково для всех, не бывает! Смысл жизни многих людей заключается как раз в том, чтобы найти свое счастье. Что же такое счастье? У каждого оно свое. Для кого-то это хорошая работа, для кого-то – дети или деньги. Многие из нас хотят быть знаменитыми.
Cама жизнь – это тоже счастье. И если не усвоить основные моменты и золотые правила жизни, то столкновение с проблемами может серьезно повлиять на жизнь человека, а, следовательно, на его счастье. Для того, чтобы знать, где найти свое счастье человеку важно иметь цель в жизни. Мне кажется, для того, чтобы твоя жизнь складывалась так, как хочется, нужно много работать, ведь ничего в мире не дается просто так. Если ты хочешь получить престижную работу, необходимо хорошо и долго учиться. Если ты хочешь, чтобы дети выросли умными и добрыми, нельзя спустя рукава относиться к их воспитанию. Даже власть над другими нужно заслужить, потому что далеко не каждому люди позволят руководить и управлять собой. Вот почему говорят: человек сам творец своего счастья. Окружающие могут лишь помочь тебе в достижении цели, поддержать в трудную минуту, но основную работу придется выполнять самостоятельно. И вообще, в жизни как в моем любимом мультфильме: “Как вы яхту назовете, так она и поплывет”.
Твоя жизнь – в твоих руках. И для достижения заветной цели в жизни необходимо приложить много усилий, возможно,отказаться от чего-то, что-то в себе преодолеть, претерпеть полосу неудач и всегда верить, что счастье все-таки существует, что оно достижимо.
What is true happiness? I heard it lasts only 10 minutes a day. But is true happiness really so short? What makes us happy?
I believe that happiness is connected with simplicity. The classic example: a rich person who has everything he wants and even more. He will never be a happy person, because he will be more critical and dissatisfied. It’s strange to notice, but there are some photos of African children. They are desperately poor, but they have a big smile and sparkling eyes. It does not take much to be happy, just a small thing: a laugh, a song, a sunset.
In my opinion, happiness is a moment of life. So elusive that you do not realize that it has already passed. Elusive, unique and inimitable.
Personally, I think that happiness seems very short but it is really a great feeling. I`m sure it will become bigger when the world will wake up and say enough to the war and daily violence, because there is nothing better than living peaceful and quiet. I can say that I`m happy in my life. Indeed, I would like to share it with someone less fortunate, so to make him or her happier. It`s important to open your heart to everyone without distinction. Remember that happiness is not in material things because they are temporary, but in your soul.
In fact, life is just like that. It’s made of positive and negative moments. Moments of happiness come when we least expect them. So, we should live life to the fullest. Even the saddest moments have to be lived, but they are like the sea waves, as they come and go away.
True happiness is a moment of absolute harmony with yourself and at the same time with the people who are important for you. Happiness for me is to feel healthy and to watch the sea on a beautiful summer day.
I just came across a Chinese proverb. I like it very much.
“If you want happiness for an hour – take a nap.
If you want happiness for a day – go fishing.
If you want happiness for a year – inherit a fortune.
If you want happiness for a lifetime – help someone else.”
I think that it shows us that happiness plays an important part in our life.
Are we happy? Let`s face it, we are so busy in life: commitments, duties to fulfill, goals to achieve…I mean that we don’t have time to think over this question. Try for a moment to close your eyes and think “what was the last time you were really happy?”
Что такое истинное счастье? Я слышала, что оно длится всего 10 минут в день. Нонеужели истинное счастье на самом деле такое короткое? Что же делает нас счастливыми?
Я считаю, что счастье связано с простотой. Классический пример: богатый человек, который имеет все и даже больше. Он никогда не будет счастливым человеком, потому что он будет более требовательным и недовольным. Странно это замечать, но есть некоторые фотографии африканских детей. Они отчаянно бедны, но у них огромная улыбка и сияющие глаза. Не нужно многого чтобы быть счастливым, просто маленькая вещь: смех, песня, закат.
На мой взгляд, счастье – это мгновение жизни. Такое неуловимое, что вы не понимаете, что оно уже прошло. Неуловимое, уникальное и неповторимое.
Лично я думаю, что счастье кажется очень коротким, но это действительно замечательное ощущение. Я уверена, что оно станет большим, когда мир проснется и скажет «нет» войне и ежедневному насилию, потому что нет ничего лучше, чем жить в мире и покое. Я могу сказать, что я счастлива в моей жизни. На самом деле, я хотела бы поделиться им с кем-то менее удачливым, чтобы сделать его счастливее. Важно открыть свое сердце для всех без различия. Помните, что счастье заключается не в материальных вещах, потому что они временные, а в вашей душе.
На самом деле, жизнь такова. Она состоит из положительных и отрицательных моментов. Моменты счастья приходят, когда мы меньше всего этого ожидаем. Поэтому, нужно прожить нашу жизнь в полном объеме. Даже самые грустные моменты должны быть пережиты, но они как морские волны, как приходят, так и уходят.
Истинное счастье это момент абсолютной гармонии с самим собой и в то же время с людьми, которые важны для вас. Счастье для меня – чувствовать себя здоровой и смотреть на море в прекрасный летний день.
Мне случайно встретилась китайская пословица. Мне она очень нравится.
“Если вы хотите счастья на час – вздремните.
Если вы хотите счастья на один день – сходите на рыбалку.
Если вы хотите счастья на год – получите наследство.
Если вы хотите счастья на всю жизнь – помогите кому-нибудь”.
Я думаю, что эта пословица показывает нам, что счастье играет важную роль в нашей жизни.
А счастливы ли мы? Посмотрим правде в глаза, мы так заняты в жизни: обязательства, обязанности, которые нужно выполнить, цели, которые нужно достичь… Я имею в виду то, что у нас нет времени обдумать этот вопрос. Попробуйте на секунду закрыть глаза и подумать: «Когда в последний раз вы были очень счастливы?»

All happy people are happy identically. But for each person the meaning of this word is different. Sometimes they understand that their life is coming to an end, but they can`t explain what happiness is.
For one person it means a family with a lot of children. For another it means a chic cottage on a beach near the ocean. I know a couple who are quite happy although they live in a poor village and they work hard from early morning till late at night. They have six children, their education is only thru the eight class. They haven`t any opportunity to travel and they haven`t been even in Moscow. But they are happy because they breathe fresh air and eat ecological products.
As for me, I don`t know what happiness is. Some years ago I thought I could be happy only if I`d have a
Family and a child. Now I understand that it isn`t enough for me and I need something else.
We all know the stories when people begin to appreciate what they have only after a terrible or dramatic accident has happened. And they understand that they need nothing to be happy, only to be healthy.
So, does it mean that happiness is health? I don`t know yet.
Все счастливые люди счастливы одинаково. Но для каждого человека значение этого слова различно. Иногда они понимают, что жизнь заканчивается, а объяснить, что такое счастье они не могут.
Для одного человека счастье – это семья и ребенок. Для другого – шикарный коттедж на берегу океана. Я знакома с парой, которая вполне счастлива, хотя живут они в деревне, работают с утра до вечера. У них шестеро детей и образование 8 классов. У них нет возможности путешествовать, и они никогда не были даже в Москве. Но они счастливы, потому что дышат свежим воздухом и питаются экологически чистыми продуктами.
Что касается меня, я не знаю, что такое счастье. Несколько лет назад я думала, что могу быть счастлива только при наличии семьи и ребенка. Теперь я понимаю, что этого недостаточно и мне нужно что-то еще.
Мы все знаем истории, когда люди начинают ценить то, что имеют, только после того как с ними произойдет что-либо трагическое. И они понимают, чтобы быть счастливыми, им не нужно ничего, только быть здоровыми.
Итак, значит ли, что счастье есть здоровье? Я пока не знаю.
