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

Doing sports is good for your health. It was many sports. People can do sports everdyday and every where ,many people are unhappy because of her or his body but sports can make you slim and fit and is good to the respiratory system ; so ,you shouldn´t smoke.

A guide to a happy life

A friend is a very good person who helps you in the good and in the bad moments. If you have a problem or you are feeling sad, you can talk about it to your friend. He/She surely can help you, or maybe he/she can’t resolve your problem, but can comfort you.Talking about your problems is a very good way to improve the quality of your 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.

A guide for a happy life: Not to be stressed

To have a happy life, it's important to be at the best conditions. Undo we aren't stressed all time, sometimes, the things of everyday can make us feel worse, and make us angrier, sader...

stress always appears when we have so much things on mind.

For Example, it is very common to see somebody stressed at the exams time, because we are worried about exams, and we haven't time to relax, because we must to study, and do homework. if we add the problems of everyday... become STRESSED.

If you stress out, you mustn't try to continue the Routine, stop and relax. go to cinema, stay at home instead of go to school... you must fight stress. because if you continue stressed, you'll start to fell more and more angrier and sader, and you start to make the things wrong.

Only remember this: stress is not bad at all. stress is the otherwise of relax, and being realxed all time isn't good too.

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.

Watch what you eat. These days is very common eat a lot of fast food and that is not healthy. You have to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables to improve the quality of your life. The health of a person that eats always bad food is not the same as one of a person that had a good diet. It’s ok eat sweets sometimes but is a bad habit eating sweets everyday. Is also important drink alcohol with moderation.

Watch what and where you eat because if you go to a restaurant you don't know of where the foods came, if it's right cleaned, if it doesn't have insects, if it's old. Also you have to see what is the background of the place because if you go to a Snackbar that is dirty if you eat that food you can got an ilness so it's very important what you eat and where.

Watch what you eat,don't eat too much junk food!

You should also do much exercise,going for a walk half an hour a day can help very much.Don't wait to be thirsty to drink water.
You should also know where does the food you eat come from,if it's from a dirty place,you shouldn't eat it.

You musn't get nervous, because that will make you fail in everything, you should be relaxed. For example, in a test if you get nervous or worried you will probably forget about what you have studied. It is also good to practise a sport, that is better than staying all the weekend on bed, but you also must sleep well, if you don't sleep well you are probably going to be tired all the day.

Another thing you have to do to have a better life is to eat healthy food and not to eat junk food every day. You must eat vegetables, pasta, fruits, fish and dairy products.

It's important that you eat healthy food and no junk food. A good example for healthy food would be vegetables (like tomatoes or carrots), meat (like chicken), milks (like milk or yougurt), pasta(like spagettis) and fruits (like bananas or apples).

There are a lot of ways to improve your life style.


First you must eat healthy food like vegetables, meat. Eat chocolates or candys arenota good idea but if sometime you don´t have energy, its good to eat sugar but not in excess.


Second you have to do exercise, like running, swimming, going to the gym and if you want to really want to good exercise you have to rest eight or nine hours per day, that's a vetal part of the training.


Third, you have to watch what you it, if you are always eating candys or chocolates, another type of food that you mustn't eat is "Junk food" (hamburgers, hot dogs etc). That is not HEALTHY.
it looks very good ah?
yeah of course, but that is one of the things you mustn't eat.

A gude to a happy life

A guide to a happy life
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.

A guide to a happy life

If you want a happy life you should sleep at least 8 hours so that your body can rest and gain forse for all day .People think sleep is not important but when you don´t sleep your body is very weak and tha t can cause you head ache or other things.It also put you on a bad mood ´cause your body isn´t preparated to be working all day long .For example, a boy that doesn´t sleep well is more inattentive than a boy that sleep all night

A guide to a happy life

Taking good care of your body and having good relationships may be an advantage when trying to have a happy life. For first the body must feel good, for that you should sleep a minimum of eight ours and a maximum of ten ours. It really counts to have a good breakfast but not too much food `cause it may make you feel heavy and tired,taking a bath at least two times per day(one before going to school/work and other one at night) and doing a lot of sport wich raises your happyness very well and it makes you feel great. It is not just that, having good relationships with the society andlaughing a lot are very important for the improvement of a happy life. If you don´t laugh then a "happy life" is not as happy as expected.

A guide to a happy life! (joy)

Watch what you eat!

We should keep a balanced diet because often people don't eat well.
Like anorexia or bulimia, that are eating desorders caused by eating very little or nothing, or throwing up. And the other extreme, is overweight that they cannot stop eating and they don't do any exercise.
You should eat normally and balanced and do a little of exercise every day.

Topic: Sleeping well.

You should sleep well during the night to enjoy the activities you do during the day. It´s important to sleep at least 8 hours every day. That will help you thinking in the school, in your job, or everywhere. Children who don´t sleep well, often have more problems in the school that children that sleep 8 or 9 hours every day.

a guide to a happy life

Some people is always nervous and don't laugh.


if you don't laugh you are always sad , tired and you don't enjoy a lot like if you laugh and smile a lot.


To laugh a lot is good to all people.
I think laughing is a good way to make ill people feel good, or to make sad to feel happy.

A GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE

Some people really need our help, they depend on us.

It would be interesting if you go hospitals and share your time with sick people, for example reading books to children and making them laugh.
Apart from it, you can help your friends in everyday life with their homework or listening to a friend who has a problem.
When you are outside you can help old people who need crossing the street or give some food to a homeless.
Be sure that you will feel happy helping other people!

Improving the quality of your life (By Denu H)

Make friends will help you a lot to say what you think. When you are sad or you have problems it's very good to talk and express yourself chatting, talking on the telephone or simply face to face. Friends are a good way to say what you think, and the will always help you.

A guide to a HAPPY LIFE

People often only care about themselves. They don´t mind when crossing the street, if there is the blind.
On the bus, they don´t live the seat to pregnant woman o disabled people.
It will be better if we can HELP OTHERS more frecuently,because we will feel proud of our actions , and also we will make other people happy.

I had chosen an image, becuase this picture in particulary has a very big significance.

This a photo taken during a competition in New Zeland, the objective is to cross the river with the help of other people.

A guide to a happy life

Topic: exercise

A lot of people are unhappy of the way their body looks, this probably happens because most of them don’t exercise as much as they should. For example they wouldn’t go to a swimming pool, because they don’t want anyone to see their body. Sometimes this happens because people don’t have enough time to do exercise, but the truth is that they only have to do 20 minutes a day! There are fun exercises to do for example jogging or riding bicycles. You can also go to the gym or do fun sports, such as volleyball, football, tennis, etcetera.
Doing exercise is really fun, plus it helps you to be more self-confident, and live a little bit happier.

A guide to a happy life

Many people don´t practise sports because they think that it isn´t very important and that they can get tired practising it. For example, some children in fisical education, don´t want to do the excercise because they think that it is a waste of time. People often preffer to stay at home instead of going to the gym because they think thay can get very tired. I recomend to practise sports because is very funny and you can keep your health.

A GUIDE TO A HAPPY LIFE

Many people believe they can have parties at night and feel excellent in the day. They may think sleeping is a joke. It is very important to sleep well during the night. Not sleeping and doing it at different times can have lots of consequences in your body and your mood. One every 3 people have problems to sleep. We all spend a third of our life in bed. So remember next time you wanna close your eyes at one a.m. that if you keep that way you may finish with insomnia or something worst than that.

A guide to a happy life (By Leandro)

Topic: Sports

Practising sports is very good because you keep fit and healthy and you can also lose weight.People often don't practise sports because they don't like them or they don't want to move too much. Some persons don't know why they should do sports or exercise. So, ask some persons what sports do they like and try to practise the sport you prefer from the ones they have told you or choose anyone you like.

A guide to a happy life

I think that havingf riends is very importanat, because friends are all do you need to have for have a good time. They are in all of yours situation, sad or happy, is importantto have someone who understands you. Also having friends is funny and beautifull, because with them, you can play a lot laugh. My opinion are that if you have friends you are going to bre happy.
