Learning activity 2 Evidence: The happiness advantage Shawn Achor considers that happiness is the key to success and states that if you can find a way to get your brain positive; your success rate will increase. Taking into account Achor’s statement, share an anecdote where you describe a story that shaped your personal view about success and happiness. Use the anecdote template from the study material. Also, make sure you use the past perfect, at least eight adjectives from the introductory material, and the time expressions you have practiced in this learning activity. Example: I’ll never forget the day I learned to type without looking at the keyboard. I wanted to be able to type while in bed with the lights off. If I want to turn off the lights, I have to get out of bed. It was really annoying because when you are falling asleep, the last thing you want to do is to get up. I had tried many times before, but I usually got frustrated or impatient really quickly. Anyway, I went online and browsed around, reading reviews about different free online typing programs until I finally found one that I found suitable. I followed the instructions and did not skip a class. It was hard; sometimes I felt miserable because I couldn’t do it. In less than a month, I was typing in the dark. It felt so good; it felt, it still does, like magic. I felt super satisfied. I had taught myself how to do something extraordinary (to me). The secretaries at school who were able to look at you in the eye while typing had always mesmerized me! So, the moral of the story is that in order to be happy and successful, you need to find something that motivates you to grow as a person; something that makes you feel you can be a little bit better every day.
