Why are people so set on their opinions?
Everyday I talk with at least one person that is extremely opinionated. It is the most annoying thing when you want to put your own viewpoint in and can't because you know that if you do it won't even be recognized. I know quite a few people that are like this and it's almost impossible to have a conversation with them on the topic because it won't ever go anywhere. I'm not saying that you have to agree with them, just listen to what they think. If you do listen to them then it will help you better understand where they're coming from. I know if I listen to some else's opinion I don't always change my view but it helps me kind of see how they might see it that way. If we can open our minds to new ideas then we just might beable to accomplish more things.

Grumpy People
Every day when I walk down the hallways at school and even when I see people out of school it's very rare to see the majority of them happy. That's depressing especially since you have no idea why in the world they are so downtrodden. Why are people like that though? Why can't they hide their real feelings and pretend to be happy? I know that for me if I'm really not in that great of a mood, if I fake being happy sometimes I actually end up being happy. If more people actually tried doing that then we would live in a much happier world. Granted it wouldn't be perfect and people would still be sad and cranky from time to time but overall it would be better, and people could have more fun and enjoy life.

Cranky People
Earlier today when I was at work, they asked me to go and take care of the person at the register, so I went over. I got her name so I could get her order and ring her up; but when I brought down the pizzas she yelled at me. She told me that she had more than two pizzas but what she didn't understand was all of the orders were on one ticket because it was all the same kind. After I got them all out she apologized and told me that she was having a bad day. I didn't think that was a very good excuse for treating me badly when I was trying to help her. Why are people so harsh to others when they're having a bad day?
I can only think of one reason and that's because of all the stress that has built up in them throughout the day. All day they've been dealing with things that didn't make them very happy and then all of a sudden when there's one more thing they explode. It isn't very fair of them to do that especially if you were trying to help them in the first place. A lot of times they want to get it all out of them and you just happen to be their target. If we can help to make someones life a little less stressful then maybe just maybe we will be able to see more happy people.

Super Bowl
Every year around this time of year people are just starting to lose all of the weight they gained during the holidays or have already lost all of that weight. They feel really proud of themselves for keeping their new years resolutions for once and then it's time for the super bowl. Why the heck do people make resolutions to lose weight if in a couple of months they're just going to gain it all back? I think there is one main reason, and that's so that they can feel good about themselves for even just a short while. They lost that weight and feel like they've accomplished something in life so they're happy; so instead of deciding to stay healthy and be happy they think, Oh it's just one little occasion it won't hurt me. They end up eating more than planned and "run out of time" to exercise and lose all that weight and they're back where they started. So if society can stop making the super bowl such a big deal, then maybe, just maybe people will start keeping their new years resolutions to stay healthy.
