26、t of their comfort zone. Everyone finds it difficult to talk to the opposite sex on campus.However, there is a way of dealing with this shyness in Britain, and it is called Freshers Week. Freshers Week is designed to help people socialize and lose their reservation. It is a one-week long party for f

My hall was called Goldney Hall and the week ahead included a talent show, a comedy night, and themed parties, including one for which we had to dress up as golfers.The first event I went to was a school kids party at which everyone dressed up as if they were in school.

46、now that money cant buy happiness, but many times we act as if we were happier with a bit more money. We are conditioned to want to be rich (when we know the rich arent happy either) ; we are trained to want the latest gadget (a small tool) or style that television tells us to want; we want to earn
47、more money because then well have a good life.But none of them will bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how much we have in the bank, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of them will make us happier. And the sad thing is that it could take us decades to pursue
48、 wealth and luxurious (奢侈) items before we realize this.So what will bring us happiness? Luckily, its these three things that dont cost a thing.

51、 that it can lead to happiness too. Optimism and self-esteem are some of the best indicators of people who lead happy lives. Happy people feel empowered, take control of their lives, and have a positive outlook on life.Action steps: Make positive thinking a habit. In fact, this should be one of the
52、first habits you develop. Get into the habit of getting rid of all negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones. Instead of I cant, think I can. It may sound silly, but it works for me, every time.3. Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these daysa state we enter when we are co
53、mpletely focused on the work or task before us. We are so buried in our task that we lose track of time. Having work and leisure that get you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when theyre passively mindless, but when theyre absorbed i
54、n a mindful challenge.Action steps: Find work that you have a passion for. Seriouslythis is an extremely important step. Find hobbies that you have a passion for.
