For the past weeks we have been writing speeches about 'the pursuit of happiness'. Next week we will be presenting our speeches. I wrote about happiness being a choice we make every day and how happiness impacts our life.
Travis gave me some feed back on my writing. Over all he thinks my writing is good and there is nothing for e to work on. I think I have done well in my writing . At first I was unsure about the topic I choose but now I think that my writing has developed well and I have some good structured paragraphs.
Kia ora Katrina,
ReplyDeleteIt is fantastic to read about how you and your fellow students are giving each other feedback on your speech writing assignment. The pursuit of happiness is an interesting concept. I've been listening to Brenē Brown a lot and she speaks about the difference between joy and happiness. She states that it is gratitude that allows humans to experience joy fully, and that joy is more powerful than happiness because of the state of being is puts us in. Joy is much deeper than happiness.
I wonder why humans of today are obsessed with pursuing happiness? Do you have some thoughts on this?
Keep up the great learning and blogging,
