Happiness to me means...

The students from the 2nd grade of Senior High School were asked to do a 3-minute task on what happiness means to them. Interesting what we came up with. Read their quotes!






Happiness means to have friends and people that honestly love you without expecting anything in return. Also it means to feel good with yourself and do things that you really enjoy.
Kathy




Happiness is the way to live. Happiness is your family. Happiness is your success. Happiness is your feelings. Happiness is your friend. Money doesn’t bring happiness. That says it all.
Voula



To me happiness means to have my family and my friends care for me and me for them! Happiness to me means to spend the day doing the things I like, doing my exercises, going jogging, playing handball and seeing my friends! These things are necessary to me and make me feel happy.
Evridiki




I believe that happiness is in everyone’s life. It is a beautiful feeling and I have in my mind parties, friends, laugh and adventure.
Hellen


Happiness for me is a deep and intense feeling. This feeling makes you be in a situation of endless pleasure. With happiness you can face the difficulties and smile to life. You can live different experiences and never give up.
Anna


To me happiness means a growing body of emotions.
Effie K.




I believe happiness depends on the relationship someone has with other people. As long as you have people around you that love you and trust you, you have managed to find the main part of happiness. You can find happiness in people like family and friends. But girlfriends, boyfriends and friends have an end, while family is always there for you, giving you all the happiness. And the small part of happiness has to do with the financial situation you are in.
Markella



To be happy is one of the most beautiful feelings in the world. Happiness is a feeling that makes you feel good for something. Happiness can make you smile and feel good for yourself or other people. Happiness means life.
Leonidas


Happiness is a feeling which a lot of people have! This feeling is appearing when a person reaches sixteen. This is because in this age people understand what this word means. When you are in happiness, you see stars around you every day!
Aggelos





Happiness has different reasons for each person. For me happiness means to do something that really fills you. Also, it means to have something to hope, an aim to achieve. You are really happy when you have people really close to you, who love you and you love them too.
I can’t really say what real happiness means to me, but that was some words that helped me explain it.
Rania




For me happiness means to be free, to do everything that satisfies me. I want to be well with my family, my friends and be healthy.
Errica




For me happiness is to have a good time with my family and my friend.
Angella



I don’t know what happiness means to me but I am happy when I am with my friend and have a very good time together. Happiness is something very nice but you have to know what real happiness is so that it will remain for a very long time.
Dina




Happiness for me is having fun with your friends, learning new things from sources that other people would consider wrong. Happiness means creating music or a useless thing that nobody can use except you. Happiness also means when you live life to the fullest. Happiness means doing your own things and still manage to follow the daily life circle.
That is what happiness means to me.
Chris




Happiness? Well, I can’t define what that means to me because I simply get happy and excited each time with something else than the previous.
Zoe




I think happiness is a feeling that people feel when they are happy for something that happened in their lives.
Orestis



There is no happiness in this world because all of us are selfish and we care only about material things which is not what can make someone happy.
Angelika




Happiness is:
·        Having friends and family.
·        Smiling without a reason.
·        The people you love are happy, so you’re happy for them.
·        Doing whatever you like.
·        Listening to music.
·        Following your dreams.
Effie V.



Happiness to me is my son’s arms around my neck,
a beloved person’s smiling face,
the sun shining after a hard rainy day,
a morning wake-up just to remind me that I’m healthy to set off work,
a day that has gone full circle,
a flower given by a child,
a “thank you” from someone I have cared for.
Happiness to me is the simple things in life that make it worth living.
Irene






Success and Happiness. Happiness and Success!

As to everyone success means something to me too but I don’t know what that something is yet because I’m too young. Success is to be happy, to be independent but it’s not necessary to be rich or famous because it’s difficult to be rich or famous. So try to become a better person and that’s the key to success.
Olga





Success and happiness for me is AEK winning every week.

Happiness to me is Barcelona winning the Champions League and the Championship in Spain.

Well,
  • Being with those you love
  • Doing anything you want and like. Anything which makes you feel good.
  • Helping someone who needs you
  • Knowing that someone cares for you
Christine Ch.




There is no happiness for me.
Vassiliki





To me happiness means to have a job, to have my house as I dream it.
