Happiness

Our Experiment
This blog is an attempt to track the activities that will propel our happiness in psychology class. What do i think about this? well, why not. However, personally, i thin attempts to acheive happiness are often fruitless. This is why self help books are built upon a multi-million dollar industry that guarantees success by following certain steps. In my opinion, the only way to attain the happiness you deserve is through understanding yourself, and not on a series of procedures that you follow rigously. You cant really follow someone's endeavor for happiness, because its really something you stumble upon on your own. =)

what do i think of my strengths? First, i would like to elaborate of how grateful i am to this online quiz that is now reassuring me that i am a worthwhile person and that i am not a failure. I am profoundly surprised by the results. I never thought that perserverance and diligence would be my top strength. I thought i would be categorized as one of those fun, spontaneous people. I'm really unsure of where i genuinely stand personality-wise. So i wouldn't blame this quiz for being wrong. Maybe im the one who's wrong in judging myself. I'm quite aware of my so-called "social intelligence" but i never thought of it as a strength. I just think i know a lot about people's motives and feelings because i'm more of an emotionally oriented person. I think the third one is the best description of myself. I'm somewhat superficial, and am compulsively obsessed with trying to make myself and things around me as beautiful and perfect as possible. It is a task that wears me out, but i enjoy it. My fourth strength: Yes, i am a tease! just kidding. I am really playful and i like having fun, and having laughing fits. I think this should be my top strength, but personally, i dont even consider it a strength.
My fifth strength: Yes, i do love learning! i love reading books and i love writing essays. i love psychology class. I just want to know as much as possible because it gives you a superior feeling of having the upperhand.
