    Happiness is knowing where you're meant to be,

    Happiness is living free.

    Happiness is singing to my favourite song ever and ever,

    Happiness is “strawberry fields forever”.

     

    Happiness is not being judged for what you think,

    what you believe in.

    Happiness is knowing you're not alone,

    there will always be someone you can rely on.

     

    But don't spend your time wondering what happiness really means,

    because happiness is everywhere, waiting for you.

    Let her keep you and laugh you life,

    because there isn't much to cry for.

  2. 1) While i was watching this video i fell a lot of contrasting emotions. I fell compassion, pain, anger, shame, happiness…

    In my opinion the video is meant for make people think about the meaning of happiness and to make people realising that, sometimes, we are too much gready to tell the difference between happiness and selfishness.

    I really liked the list of things that shoult make us happy, like family, friends, love and so on being contrast to the images of people (children) who cannot enjoy this little every day things. I fell happy when I saw the things that people cosidered happy, but I fell also ashamed because I realisi how we take for granteed a lot of really important things. Thinking that we don't really think about the tragedy like orphans, soldier children, people who doesn't have enough food or water to drink and to wash make me feel angry.

     

    2) With the phrase “happiness is a choice” I think that people mean that only your choices can bring you to hppiness. It can be true because we have to take a lot of choices in our lives, most of these very important, and we have to take them with responsability. The image beaneath the video suggests that our choices can bring us near happiness. For exeple if we decide to be unhappy and to see things in a negative view, things will be negative, but if we try to see things in a positive why, we will be sorprise by how life can be beautiful. That doesn't mean that life will be perfect, but we have to learn how facing problems and difficulties with a smile and in a optimistic view!

    But I think that, on the other hand, sometimes we are forced to make some choices that can causes pain, so unhappiness. I'm sure that the only cure is staying near the people we love and try to get through te difficulties and found happiness again.

  4. While watching the video I felt sad, upset, dejected and…responsible. I felt like I was the one to be blamed for what is happening to those poor children: I am responsible, in some ways, because I live in one of the affluent countries and I don't do anything to stop our nation “spreading violence” all over the world. The governments act out of self-interest and think of how to make money, without wondering what the consequences will be. War turns into another way to make money and the don't care whether scores of innocent people have to die because of their thirst for power.

  5. Happiness is a choice: if you focus your attention on the negative aspects of your life, you won't ever be happy. On the contrary, if you focus your attention on the positive aspects, you will be satisfied with what you have.

  6. I think the Coca-Cola commercial is obviously a….commercial: they just want to sell their product, making you believe that it will make you feel happy.

  7. If I had a happiness factory, I would transform dreams into realities and create places where people could be free from prejudice and express themselves.

    1)This video moved me!!!!  When i saw those little children who were in a very diffucult situation i just tought: "why they have to be treated as ifthey were beasts??" i can't answer my self…
    they are poor ,they don't have friend,money or  they don't even have a home!!!! they have to go around with guns because someone have killed their parends and so they have to do all the bad job…i thnk that the world now is changed because now we live thinking only of ourselfs, we can see the poor in front our face but we don't do anythink because we are not in that business and so we just close our eyes and think "well, it's fine that it didn't happened to me!!!"  I always think that we are selfish..we never think about the other,because we are fine and so why think about the ones who are poor if we are full of money?? it's extremely sad,but i think that the emotion are just slipping away form our soul
    while i'm seeing this video i feel
    sadness
    pain
    hatred for those who don't want to do anything to stop it
    sweetness because they are so beautiful and so unprotected…

    i think that maybe happines is a choice because as we can see not everybody could have it, but i think that it should ( or must) be a right for al the human beings
    so let's think….

    2) i think that Coca Cola's commercial is ingenious!
    if my factory could create happiness i think that the ingredients would be:
    laughter of a child
    sunny day
    fuxia nail varnish
    summer
    swimming pool
    lots of chocolate cakes
    lots of smile
    love 
    friendship
    and why not, 2 bottles of Cola!!!

  9. The first video is really interesting because you can see how much lucky we are..even if sometime we forget it!
    Happiness for me isn't something hard to find, but is a smile that you can see every the in the face of people you love.
    This is why I think that the poor ones sometime are more happy than the rich ones, because they are more close to one another and can be more happy!
    The meaning of happiness for me are the children because thy are so cute, so sweet, so innocent and they always make me laugh!
    the children in this video are terrificand sweet their eyes are so wonderful, these photos are beautiful!

    2) If I could create a happiness factory  I Would create more:
    smiles on people's face,
    sunny days,
    less homework,
    more free time,
    good marks,
    trust,
    and fun!

    Happiness..

     

    What's happiness?

     

    Happiness is a deep feeling.

    Happiness is when your  is full of grace

    Happiness teaches us what the life means..

    Happiness just can't be bought, it is more precious than any gold

     

    Happiness is all over, we have to have an eye to see and an open heart to feel it.

  11.  1. While I was watching this video I realized that I am a lucky person but in other placesthere are people who die because they have nothing to eat. I asked myself why are there some people who have all what they need and others who don't have anything. In our time people take for granted important thing like a family, an house, friends, food, money and well being and pretend to have shallow thing like brand clothes, a mobile, an I-Pod, a laptopto be satisfied.
    2. as we have already seen not all the people can choose to be or not to be happy.  I don’t thing that there are people who have chose non to be happy. Not necessarily see things in a negative view mean not to be happy but  lookingat things with open eyes and not dreaming.
    3.the coca-cola’s video is funny but it just anewsworthyway to convince the people to buy the product!!! If I could product a factory that could manufacture happiness it would product thedessertsthatmake you fat!!:D

  12. 1)I think happiness is very important in our life and when i think about people that dying every day i feel bad.When i saw this video i felt stupid,'cause sometimes i complain of haven't designer clothes or other useless things,and i don't think about children that dying by hunger,or 'cause they haven't one house and so on.The list of emotions would contain:regret,injustice and anger.I think happiness isn't a choice,'cause people don't choose when be happy and when sad and 'cause there a lot of bad things that it may happen in our life and in that moment we don't be happy.
    2)I don't really like the second video,'cause is a bad commercial and i think that people do these commercials just for money.The most important thing isn't create a factory that could manufacture happiness,but help poor people and don't think only of themselves,even if we live in a society that thinks only about money.

  13. This is my poem:

    Happiness why was you so difficult to find out?? I have wait you for a long time and now you come out,FINALLY! You are filling with joy all my days. I thank you a lot… Do not go away, please!

  14. Some of you asked me why I wanted you to post your poems without me proofreading them first.  The answer is obvious to me: I wanted your words to flow naturally, I did not want to "scar" your poems (the free expression of YOUR "self", of YOUR soul) in any way.  This blog is meant to give you free expression, it is not meant to be perfect.  When I read your poems I am not holding a red pen in my hand, I am just smiling at the screen, thinking how good you are in rendering your feelings and your thoughts.  Thank  you for making me smile and most of all thank you for posting your "precious" compositions on this blog.  Quite frankly, it is not easy for a teacher to set up a blog and keep it running.  You work in you free time (so you do not have any free time any longer ) and you need to squeeze out your brain to come up with ideas that read as involving and thus interesting to you.  Yet, I must confess I really enjoyed reading your comments and poems and this makes me going.  Well done.
    Lots of hugs.

  15. The happiness

    The happiness is an amazing feeling
    The happiness is the feeling of joy everytime
    that comes from knowing you are doing the right thing
    and living a peacefull but crazy life.

  16. I have lulled myself into reading your comments and your poems.  You are young yet you are capable of writing insightful and meaninful things.  This proves what I am convinced of: beyond your armour, beyond your seemingly disruptive behaviour, beyond your put-up disregard of school, beyond that standoffish attitude towards the needy and disadvantaged, well beyond the "being yourself" you hide great values and skills.  I am proud of being your teacher.  Thanks for your posts.  Obviously we will keep on working and we will try to find together issues that stir your emotions and involve you intellectually!

  17. My poem:

    Happiness

    happines could be many things…
    maybe playing with your little brother,
    eating a pizza with your friends,
    sleeping all day long
    but even listening to music
    in your bedroom by yourself…
    it 's only a word but is different
    between everyone.
     
    The video made me thinking that I'm really lucky…and that I should have to be happy because those people…those children don't have anything and I have all, but I am many times unhappy or angry because of stupid things.
    If I could create a factory that could made happiness it would be plenty of people, because I think that speaking and laughing with somebody makes everybody happy, but there would be even places where you could stay by yourself, because sometimes you need to stay by yourself. Than there would maaany shops, because shopping makes me happy everytime
