[Audio file] Characteristics of Enjoyable Experiences

I tried to convert m4a file recorded by my phone to mp3 file using Google Driva app, that is, drive converter. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Fortunately, online-convert.com is very helpful for converting my file to mp3 file.

I'm yours - Jason Mraz



The video "Lucky" helps me to teach to infinitive



This is a very lovely song, and this video gives subtitles that students can follow while singing. I can use this video so that students can learn the to infinitive, especially how to infinitive can be used as a adverb, e.g. lucky to be with you.

The way I view the world can influence how well I can handle it.



The way I view the world can influence how well I can handle it.
The more positive my attitude toward the world is, the better outcome I can produce.

  It's not necessarily the reality that shapes us, but the lens through which your brain views the world that shapes your reality. And if you can change the lens, not only can we change your happiness, we can change every single educational and business outcome at the same time.
  90 % of your long-term happiness is predicted not by the external world, but the way your brain processes the world, optimism levels, social support, your ability to see stress as a challenge instead of a threat. If we can find a way of becoming positive in the present, then our brains work even more successfully as we're able to work harder, faster, and more intelligently.
