Happiness, and how to exploit it!

Happiness is one of those things that each person has their own unique view on what it truly is.  One person might say, smiling, another might say, reading a book, and someone might say alcohol.  Heck, I'm not surprised when people say, "a nice ****!"  interpret that as you will.

One thing is certain however, it feels GOOD!  So good in fact, everyone strives for it in one way or another!  I myself admit to having an addiction to happiness.  I love seeing people smiling and laughing.  Fills me with a certain warmth, like a cup of tea on a Winter's night.

Exploiting happiness is one of life's little pleasures, don't let it go to waste!  Yes, I do hear you saying in your squeeky voices, "but what on earth do you mean?" I will now explain...  There are two major types of exploits when it comes to happiness.  The first being, Self Happiness. Self happiness allows you to do things you would otherwise not be able to do, go on a limb, meet new people, enjoy life!  The second is, Other Happiness, when someone you know is happy, do not drag them down, instead try to absorb their happiness by helping them naturally relieve your stress by, once again, doing things you would not normally do!  Go to parties, excerise, and put your worries away to deal with one at a time!

When in a happy positive mood, only concentrate on one task at a time, this will allow you to enjoy the experience to the full.  Lists, however they do help some work through things without stress, cause stress in others, seeing all of the tasks on a list can stress people out quicker than without one.  I would never recommend list making unless there is only a few things required  to do.  If you do create a list, only reveal one task at a time, this allows your brain to concentrate on one task instead of ending up like road kill on the front of the stress train.

Happiness is a gift, when you have it, be careful to make sure it does not break, for it has no warranty, and at times can be hard to get another shot.

I leave you with this self thought:

"Stress is for silly people."

School, teaching teenagers true life skills!... Right?

Do not get me wrong, there ARE some teenagers who can concentrate for longer than 30 seconds on something as simple things like algebra, or as passionate as the periodic table.  To be completely honest, most teenagers have other far more pressing matters on hand, for instance imagine your average seventeen year old male doing a 'complicated' maths equation.  Now flowing through his head right now are lots of numbers and a few letters thrown in for good measure.  Suddenly his head has forgotten ALL about the problem, and instead he is thinking about how great the girl sitting two seats to his left would look in all her glory.

HORMONE RUSH!  Seriously, how the heck do people expect us to sit in plastic chairs reading from pressed trees when WE are in our prime!!?

Ok, I'm not that bad, but I see it in everyone around me.  The glimmer in their eye as 'The One' walks past...  Kinda sad, no?  They date for ONE day, and they start talking like they will "always be together"...  Two days later they are both happy singles on the prowl... Yeah, be careful, don't blink, you might miss an eternity.

So, with all the hormones and lurve in the air, how do the teachers of the world expect to teach teenagers about facts, words, numbers and reason?

I have learnt a lot from school, but anything that is of no interest leaves my head within minutes.  So, I have bits and pieces from here and there, funny and sometimes useless information.  But if you asked me to tell you the names of all of the 'wonders of the world', I'd have no hope.

But, with all that aside, if we were to go to school later in life, would we ever actually want to?  It would be a job that you had to pay to do.  Even though many do waste the time in school, that is their problem, they will find out that later in life. 

*Pointless fact:  87% of teenagers thought about sex while I was writing this post.

Well, that is my slurge for today, I'm going to be writing more and more about my experiences now on!

See you later!

* Pointless and probably not real... It was probably more like 97%...

Relationships, Eddie's guide to a healthy/ unhealthy diet of love and care.

For dating purposes, just think of relationships as cuisines...

Everything has a little bit you like and a little you don't, you tend to ignore the bad bits, but they end up piling up in the end!  Do not simply throw the 'bad bits' into the bin, they would not appreciate this very much at all.  So a simple piece of advice comes to mind when talking about relationships, the first thing to do when looking for a partner, try to look for one that at least LOOKS delicious, this way you can attempt to cover the bad things with the good, making it seem as though there is a lot less bad in the meal.

However, do not attempt to change the meal, this will only ruin the personal flare that their personality gives to the entire cuisine, you are not Jesus, you cannot just change water into wine for kicks, remember you have your faults too.

During my personal experiences, what you really want to look for is someone who has overpowering good things, so that you can mix it with the bad.  This completely changes how you perceive the person and their mystical ways, if you still truly feel something for this 'new' flavour, you may have found yourself a worthy long-term partner.
