A Guide to a Happy Life, by Brian G.

I think that something important to have a happy life is practicing sports, like soccer, basketball, volleyball, or a lot more. The sports make you to have fun and it's healthy because it is an exercise and the scientist say that doing exercise is good for your body. Another reason to practise sports is that if you play in a soccer team, for example, you earn more friends, and that's very important in a person's life, have friends. But on the other hand, when people competive in a sport, they discuss and almost always it finishes wrong, we can say.
The important thing is that you don't need to discuss in a sport competition, like a soccer match, you have fun, and that's important.

HAVE A HAPPY LIFE!!

A Guide to a Happy Life, by Ingrid P

I think the clue to have a happy life is being possitive and never giving up. If you try hard, nothing is impossible. Be yourself and don't throw your dreams to the garbage if things doesn't go like you espect. Work, work, and work because some day all will be better.
You must remember youself not being lazy, it isn't easy but: the time you waste doing nothing is the time you don't spend having a happy life.

A guide to a happy life.... A laugh to a happy life

I think that the best way to have a happy life is not having a lot of money, is not having the best car, i really think that the best way to have a happy life is to laugh a lot. You can ask me why and I think I have the answer, humor can save the world and the best way to live happy is the capasity of laughing of our selves. Because if we can laugh of our selves we can live in a best way and I think that we can change a smile, a good laugh instead of agressive modals, instead of indiference, instead of wars, instead of discrimination, because laughing is the best way to live, people who lives that way lives more time. Laugh cuts off with pain.

So, don't be relaxed, and don't be so stressed, or you would become...

STRESSED!!!

So: if you be happy, keep the stress out.

You must leave the work to relax and enjoy the life. In this world sometimes we are so busy with work, sports and study that a simple activity can turn in an stressful action and when you are submitted every day to this kind of activities can happened that in shorts or longs periods of time can damage us a lot, especially mentally, and this can cause physical problems. Sometimes, for example the pressure is so big at work and in the house that some people have cardiac problems as arrhythmias and this can cause an earlier die. This problem comes to such a point that sometimes children like us or younger can have diseases for stress when they must be relaxed, playing and study. So the next time you are stress because of something think if it's so important that think that you slowly are putting in risk your life. To finish enjoy your life and not be worried for things that aren't as important as our life.
