Potential and Happiness
In his book Happier, Shahar says that as long as we are pursuing worthy life, we have to use as much amount of energy as we can to do that. Meanwhile, we have to think about the potentials. For example, if woman wants to take an effective place in her country(potential for happiness), she could be happy also if she becomes teacher instead of being president. However, It is not happiness to be happy without doing something which is challenging. The more we do, the more meaningful life and happier we get.
Do you agree that getting happiness easily is not as same as with hard work? Why/ Why not ?
Thank you,

Hi Ahmad,
ReplyDeleteI agree that working hard is a way to be happy in your life. I think life is work and work is life.
Hi Ahmed ,
ReplyDeleteI think that getting happiness is evaluated on the place where it comes from .which means some people can get happiness because no matter how you get it ,as far as it still for ever and does not vanish afterward . in other words , the taste of getting happiness as a result of hard work might be better but not permanent .
thanks Ahmed
Hi Ahmad
ReplyDeleteyes I agree it is different because as you work for something hard you will enjoy the benefits of hard working but if you get it fast its going to go fast like you did nothing
Hi Ahmed
ReplyDeleteI think getting happiness is not deeply related to hard working. We can feel happiness when we are with our family, and it is not relate to hard working. So, I agree with this only partially.
