I Used to be ...

Hello Again!
Today I'm going to talk about the principally changes that I have had for five years.I have a lot of physical changes, for example, When I have 5 years old, my hair was very very curly indeed I looked like the little singer called "Christell" Today, my hair look like very different, I use my hair smooth. These changes were very evident! In my opinion the most important change is my attitude toward situations. Indeed When I was young I used to cry for all and I thought that nothing had solution, also I used to get angry for anything! I feel that this attitude has gone changing, because the years has demonstrated me that all solution and that I must be more tolerant, The University has been the principal factor. When I was 10 years old I use to be more sensible for all, although that I am still a little so, but the reasons are most important than others in the past.
In relation with my hobbies I fell that these haven’t changed! I love the music since that I have 5 years old! When I was 10 years I used to sing in a chorus of my school! And five years later I learnt to play guitar! I used to sing and play the guitar all the time! Other important change in my life was my perception of fear! I used to cry When I saw the film “Murderer Clowns” or I used to have afraid of the “darkness” However this fears have been changed with the time! Today I have twenty two years and my principally preoccupation is to be happy with my different actions, principally with those that has relation with my studies of

Field trip to Coquimbo Region

Last week we had a field trip to Coquimbo, at the 4th region. We began our journey at Wednesday night. It was warm and people began to arrive gradually. After a few hours, we finally got in the bus, and we traveled for about 6 hours until we got to Monte Patria .
The field trip was characterized by the great amounts of joy and cheerfulness amongst my companions. It was a wonderful experience, mainly because of the beautiful landscapes we visited through our journey. The most impressive one was the Fray Jorge National Park. At first sight, it wasn’t really impressive. Mainly because it was just a bunch of semi-arid vegetation, typical of the zone. The heat was overwhelming, and we had to walk for one, or may be two hours uphill. Luckily, I was able to endure the whole walk. I think the main reason of why that happened is because I began to gain stamina from all those fieldtrips that we had in so little time. Specially the one from Integrated Basin Management. And that I’ve been smoking less. It’s hard, but I try my best.
Anyway, the last days from the field trip, especially Friday and Saturday, our teachers relaxed with the whole situation. They gave us half of the day for us to do anything we wanted. So, I went to some random river nearby the school were we stayed with my friends, and we had a really great time there.
To conclude, I must say that this was one of the most, if not the best, field trips I’ve ever had in my student’s life, and I will hardly forget this rich and plentiful experience I had with my friends and companions.

Are rich people happier than poor people?

Is there a relation between the material wealth of a person, and the happiness which that person experiences? At first sight, it may seem that the answer may be yes. We’re culturally bounded to believe that material wealth is a synonym of welfare and happiness. Our basic needs, and even those a little bit more complex, would be satisfied, and therefore, we should be happy. Our entire economic system bases on the belief that economic growth is the answer to all the problems of the world, that we could achieve happiness if we are rich enough.
But reality is more complicated. We’re told since we were kids that having more stuff would make us happy, but our parents, and maybe other media, taught us that wealth is not everything in this world. So, whenever someone says “hey, I want to be so rich that I could poop coins when I go to the toilet”, other people answers “dude, money isn’t everything in this world, and definitely it won’t buy you happiness”. To prove the previous statement is necessary to do a little analysis.
We may notice from people’s experiences that the complexity of life problems and unhappiness is related to the amount of wealth that a random person may have. E.g. Poor people main worries and sources of unhappiness derive generally from the inability to satisfy the basic needs of their families, or beloved ones. The inability to pay debts, have enough money to survive the month, job instability, rising prices in public services, etc. Although they have also problems concerning emotional issues, the main question is about economic wealth related to happiness, so, this won’t be analyzed.
In the other hand, as richer people have their basic needs fully satisfied, the complexity, or banality of their problems increases. Therefore, e.g. we have spoiled children that burst in rage when their dad didn’t get them a white Ipod 2 for their birthday, and instead they gave them a gray one. Or adults that gets frustrated because the neighbor got a new shiny car, etc.
To conclude, happiness is not related to the wealth of a person. Unhappiness will always be present. The only relation with economic wealth is that the complexity or banality of problems will vary accordingly to the wealth of the person. Being more essential and basic as lesser the wealth of the person is, and being more banal and complex as the wealth of the person increases.
