About Happiness

I've heard the opinion that for being ok, or at least not depressed, it would just take to care less..
I don't feel I can agree with this, because if one would care always less, there would be no sense in anything left. And, as it seems, people are most satisfied from things they care about.
So I think what would help much more is to expect less, from life, from other people, from yourself.. Because when you don't expect things to happen, there is two things that will save you: Firstly, you will not be disappointed so often and, much more important, secondly, you will be much more capable to embrace and treasure good things once they actually happen.

The Student Solution

Reverse Engineering.... also partially known as Ctrl-C/-V with random combination from different sources.
Gives a (more or less) tasty salsa of (more or less) connected content, which hardly ever contents the (more or less) interested person taking a look at the output of the procedure.
Somehow seems safer to use (at least some) books as in this way at least everything has to be rewritten anyway so rephrasing seems less effort (and furthermore improves the knowledge people have about their own essays...).

The E Solution

If you have any computer problems... why dont you just re-install your OS (and everything else)?

Been told not to give credits to anyone for this straightforward, brute force, "make my computer work again, please" solution... :D You could bet on it though..

Perfect Morning

• waking up with the sun shining through the window
  
• finding your favorite breakfast in front of your door, this is a miracle!
  
• realising a friend really appreciates you helping them out
• having the chance to solve a computer problem in 5 minutes
• seeing that your beloved plant starts to grow flowers again after months of remaining bare
• getting mail from someone who is important to you

How fast is an airplane?

this and a lot of other things, nicely presented on Think Metric!
have fun =)

The Kolping Solution

defined as 'waiting till your current problem dissolves in terms of fire and smoke' (credits to andrea janes for coining the term :)
Not to be recommended as main strategy if you dont need to build a new roof anyway...

For anyone not knowing what this all refers to, look here.

Idiot proof..

In case you are here because you dont feel like working, I have the perfect link for you!
Have fun!

Oddities of life

Some people say that everything in the word is in balance somehow (or at least should be..)
So to feel happiness and joy there serves the right amount of contrast in terms of desperation or worry... also that sweetness and bitterness (or sourness??) are both needed to make life bearable does not sound too controversial.
But why does it seem that some people are fighting for their life and might not succeed whilst others just throw away theirs without any need and destroying the world for so many people that cared about them?
I cant help finding this one of the very horrible things but I have no idea of what to do about it. If you suppose that everything that happens has a meaning and some sense, then my mind is surely too small to find it.
