Lessons from a course of happiness and fulfillment .

I was badly confined indoors,experiencing harrows during my quarantine days . It was as if I was spending the worst days of my life.(I could not remember the last time I hang out , barely go outside, I played and many more things that missed out).To be very precise, I feel that something is lacking inside me.So, randomly checking out youtube feeds ,I stumbled across a course of happiness and fulfillment on Coursera. I enrolled for the course in 7 days trial period. After finishing the course I found myself very cheerful, motivated ,happy from inside. Here I  am going share some of my experiences and some  precious lessons to achieve happiness in life. 

One of the inspiring courses I have been gone through the last 3 months.I am putting it's lessons and objective. this course is wisely designed by the expert Dr.Rajagopal Raghunathan.I came across many unknown terms like happiness paradox, creative altruism , expertise differentiation between Academic smarts ,career smarts , happy smarts  and many more . In my final assignment I have written  down some of the truths that I personally felt in my life .I will copy things here so that u people can evalute this things. there were more than  6 question but i am posting best 3 of them which I believe lessons from the course--(lessons in the forms of question and answer)

Q.A big reason why many of us commit the fundamental happiness paradox is because we harbor negative misconceptions about happiness. Mention at least two such negative misconceptions and provide some support for why they aren’t valid. That is, refer to at least one research finding (you don’t need to cite the paper) that indicates that the negative misconception is invalid.(3 point)

A.We ,the humans, assimilate negative  misconception from society and cultures. one of such misconception of happiness is (1)if you are chasing to the happiness happiness will be more illusive in life, the more you want to achieve it, the more difficult it will turn out  So, according to my assumptions wait for the happiness to come and do  your job with whole dedication. another one is(2) only big achievement can bring happiness otherwise you can't get happiness in your life, you can find happiness in little things ,in little joys . if you can you will be more happier than one who achieve bigger things and get happiness.

 

Q. Viktor Frankl, the gentleman who wrote, Man’s search for meaning, is reputed to have said, “Don't aim at success. The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue…”

Frankl’s quote suggests that it’s better not to pursue happiness. Please indicate whether you agree or disagree with Frankl’s statement and justify your position by referring to relevant findings. (2 points.)

A.i believe if u are immensely obsessed with something, in the long run  that will beget frustration,unhappiness .Seeking happiness should be done by the quality of the action,dedication u put towards that job rather than expecting on the results to come.
let success should be done without caring about it. your yearn for happiness might get ruined for pursue for it .

Q.Consider this statement: Givers are always more successful than takers or matchers. Do you agree with the statement? Justify your answer by referring to relevant findings. (2 points)

A.I always agree with this statement because I always think that takers portrays self sacrificing and takers enact dominating role in this  society takers always stand in the benefited position where the givers stays as benefactor .takers are those who fight and claws their paths with taking every sort of advantage from the givers. givers unselfishness attitude ruins the path of victory..

Hope you will like it get it . Goodbye. :)
