1. How does one achieve happiness? 2. Once A Group Of 50 People Were Attending A Seminar 3. Ethan Daniels / MuldersWorld.com 4. [|__http://www.muldersworld.com/photo.asp?id=15123__] 5. website / June 6th 6. Speaker: Ethan Daniels Occasion: at a seminar Audience: the audience Purpose: to teach a lesson on happiness Subject: helping others Tone: informative 7. A demonstration is held in which the speaker gives everyone a balloon and they are told to find it, but nobody can. Then each person is told to give a balloon to its owner and it is much easier. It is a metaphor for happiness. 8. Helping others will give you the happiness you are looking for. 9. I am very persuaded because the metaphor really spoke to me. 10. “ The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness; you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.”

1. How does one achieve happiness? 2. Happiness Interview With Michael Melcher 3. Gretchen Rubin / The Happiness Project 4. [|__http://www.gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2009/02/happiness-interview-with-michael-melcher/__] 5. Website / June 6th 6. Speaker: Michael Melcher and Gretchen Rubin Occasion: To hear what Melcher thinks about happiness Audience: Readers Purpose: To find out what makes Michael Melcher happy Subject: Happiness Tone: Informal 7. To be happy, one needs to figure out what gives them that feeling and do it as much as they can. One can make themselves happy if one is willing to put in the effort. 8. one is only unhappy because they are too lazy to fix it 9. I am persuaded by this because the interviewee seems to be very happy and he shared his tips with the reader. 10. “ It’s fine to choose to do or not to do things, so long as we acknowledge that we are choosing. But when people speak in a way that eliminates agency over their lives, they end up frustrating, angering and depressing themselves. And they seem inauthentic to others. This is why we never want to listen to someone complain about all the things they can’t do in life.”
