Happiness and Career success

The purpose of this Infographic is obvious. They are trying to convince us that we can't be successful just by working hard, new studies have proved that there is another important thing that we should notice: happiness.
It is true that we spend more time working than doing another thing that could make us happier, but people have accepted this fact and they believed that it was normal, until now. Studies aimed to prove that happiness leads to career success, and not that we need to work hard and to be successful to finally be happy,
It is demonstrated that happier and positive people are more likely to get hired in the first place, tend to have more job satisfaction, perform better on their job and miss fewer days.
So the conclusion is, that we should work happier to get better results, and not only work happier. To increase our positivity you can try the "three good things" activity, which consists in writing down three good things that happened to you during the day.
I will try to do this activity every night, and we will see if my positivity increases.

DREAMS

When I was about 8 years old I had my first big dream, At that time I had the typical little-girl dream, to be a famous fashion designer, but this idea wasn't very realistic and because of this my father was against it. I remember how I was crying days and days because my daddy didn't let me be a fashion designer, but after a time thinking about it I came to the same conclusion, the chances to be famous as a designer are about 5% and that is definitely not much, So I changed my mind and decided that I wanted to be a lawyer and so, earn a lot of money. At this time I even could imagine me studying law at university and me going to work every day, but now I think that it was more the influence of my father who brought me to this idea. If I think now about me studying law, I imagine myself sleeping in the classroom while the teacher is explaining something really boring. I don't know how I could ever believe that I would be a good lawyer, because now I think that this might be the most boring job ever and I would never be happy working as such.
I think it was last Christmas when it finally made "click"! At this moment I had it all crystal clear in front of me, and I suddenly knew that this was the only option for me, to study Business Administration, The only thing I still don't know is in which city I will go to university someday, it will be in Germany because to study there will be much better for my future but it is also very complicated. I probably will have to wait one year, because I won't have time to plan it all in one summer, and because of this i'm looking for some options to do during this year, i'm also thinking about going abroad but I have to think more about it.
For now, I know that I have to earn good grades and be more focused on what is really important to make true my dream, and the most important thing, never give up on myself!

2nd Batxillerat

Hello 2nd Batxillerat!
During summer I was hoping every single day that the 15th of September will never arrive, but it came sooner than I thought. Now i'm sitting on this uncomfortable chair in the classroom trying to listen to my teacher and thinking about how amazing it is how your entire life changes from one day to another. Last week, sunday the 14th was just another awesome day of summer, I had to work but it didn't matter. In summer everything is different, you never get bored and you don't have to see the same faces everyday. I also had to get up early to go to work, but there is a huge difference between getting up at 6AM and 9AM. Sometimes I was really tired of working but at least when I was at home I had no homework to do and I never had to think about an exam wich I have to write the next day.
I love summer because you are like an adult, you are independent and you can do what you want to do, and because of this it is really hard to go back to school, where suddenly everybody tells you what you have to do and what is the best for you.
In conclusion, I hope that I will survive this year and that it will end as soon as possible, and then finally, it will be the time to say bye bye Castelló!
