Happiness

Happiness is very relevant and important feeling. There are a lot of books, articles about it nowadays.
According to psychological researchers, happiness is life experience marked by a preponderance of positive emotion. In my opinion, every person has this feeling inside.

Firstly, people have their biological instincts. We must satisfy our instincts (such as eating, drinking, sleeping and so on), because we can’t think about psychic things without this. 

Secondly, we are a part of society. So, we need communication and close relationships with other people, otherwise we feel inadequate and lonely, we can’t realize ourselves. Of course, money and comfortable life is also significant, but it is important not for all people - it depends on our personal qualities. 

Thirdly, positive mind has great influence on our feeling happy. For example, if a person has some problems, he can feel happy and satisfied if he thinks positively and sees good sides of life. Thought is very powerful: if we believe that our life is terrible, it really becomes terrible. 

In conclusion, almost everything is in our hands, our mind and feelings. So, in my opinion happiness is very individual feeling and every person must find its own way to be happy.  

Restatement summary “The mystery of memory”

Memory is the field of interest and research for a long time. 

Firstly psychologists made distinction between short-term and long-term of memory: information we remember jus for a short time and information which is not lost and stored for a long period of time.

There are many different kinds of memory. There is procedural and declarative memory. Procedural memory is about how we must do a lot of things and use it. Declarative memory is about how we recognize things. Also the difference between recognition and recall is pointed out. Experiments prove this difference. Also we have photographic memory based on tastes, smells or colours in the period of childhood. Memories are made in the way of creating new patterns of connections, consisting of nerve cells. Information we need to remember something is stored in different regions of the brain. 

The memory remains interesting and mysterious, because nowadays neuroscientists are still doing research how these regions and processes are connected and capable to give information called memory.
