Sharing is awsomeee

Hey people,

Today the topic will be the importance of sharing. One week before the Christmas holiday I had an awesome experience with sharing. In a free period I went to the super market where I bought a lot of food. When I arrived at school and started sharing, the smiles on the faces of my fellow students were heartwarming. When they were going to pay me for the food they got I said: ''The smiles on your faces are my payment.''

This story inspired me to write a blog about why sharing is sooooo awesome. To show the importance of sharing, we must answer the question ''what is the most important thing in life.'' The answer for me would be happiness. If you agree, sharing wil help you reach your goals in life. When you have the money, but only spend it on yourself, you might feel happy, but it is scientifically proven that making other people happy gives you the most happiness yourself! I felt this when I shared my food and i'm sure that you will feel it to when you share.

AND, if everybody shares, you also get things from others. In that way we take care of each other and not of ourselves.

So go out, and share!

10 things we should do more often

I was browsing through youtube lately and I found an amazing video. It features a kid who made a list of 20 things we sould say more often. This list includes polite things like: say thank you, excuse me and I’m sorry but it also menitions funny phrases such as: ‘’Here is a suprise corndog I bought you because you’re my friend’’ and ‘’you’re so awsome I named my dog after you.’’

This kid is soooooo cute and extremely positive. Next to that, he also makes a great point. He shows us that WE should be nice to each other and positive as well.

This kid has inspired me to make a list of my own. 10 things we should DO more often!

(Please note that the things are in a random order, therefore number one isn’t the most important thing)

1.     Skip (if you don’t know why, you should check out my previous blog post)

2.     Be polite! Nowadays, when you’re being polite, people immediately think you’re hitting on them! We should make being polite a standard, not an exception.

3.     Give presents! Because everybody likes to get presents. And if everybody gives presents, you get presents too!! #winwinsituation

4.     Don’t hate! Hating is the worst thing you can do. It’s okay to not like someone because you just can’t get along with everydody, but hating is defined as wishing someone dead so don’t do that!

5.     Don’t judge people on their background. Judge them on what they want to accomplish.

6.     Don’t be afraid to dream. Dreams power innovation. If nobody dreamt of flying, we wouldn’t have had airplanes!

7.     Smile. People who smile not only live longer, but also live happier.

8.     Ask for help when you need it. Don’t pretend to be okay (so in this case smiling wouldn’t be the best advice.) Sometimes you just can’t solve things alone and it’s okay to ask for help!

9.     Know that you’re important! Anyone can make a difference in this world. Weather that is on a small scale, in a small community, or on a large scale, such as Nelson Mandela, making a difference is always significant!

10. Just dance and sing! ;)

Jolly jumping

Why do we walk or run while we can skip? 
This question has been terrorizing my thoughts for the past week. Let me introduce the problem. I've noticed that I have a sudden urge to skip when I'm done with working or school. When I do so, people give me weird looks! Why isn't it socially accepted to skip (To move by hopping on one foot and then the other, i'm not talking about skipping class) around instead of walking? If you look at skipping objectively it only has advantages.

The first advantage is a very obvious one. It just looks so much more cheerful. There are just a few things important in life and one of them is happiness. Therefore skipping would help reach important goals in life.

Secondly, it's healthier. While you're skipping, you burn more calories than while you're walking. Who doesn't want to lose weight while having fun and creating a jolly atmosphere around you! In a world where everybody is increasingly gaining weight, skipping could have awesome effects on everybody.

As you can see skipping is such a positive phenomena! The only problem that remains is the fact that it isn't socially accepted. Do you consider it normal if children are skipping? I do, and so do most people. This tells us that we unlearn to skip. Once you're becoming an adult you're taught not to skip. It is something that children do, and adults are not children. This is a sad development that we should reverse. We need to make skipping the next hype.

So from this day on, try skipping to work. Set a good example for everyone to see. Change is never quickly achieved, therefore I don't expect this change to come in effect soon but we should start today, not tomorrow.
