My three ways on attempting to make people happier is to smile, always be in a cheerful mood and lastly to be outside enjoying life more, not be clustered at the house.

How to spread JOY -
1. Smile in the hallways .. because from the video, even a happy environment can spread joy.

2. Surprise someone will a compliment because you could always end up making their day.

3. Offer help , whether it's just holding their books, opening the door, or helping them on their homework - help them. After seeing your kindness, it's been psychologically proven that the other person would be more inclined to show kindness as well.

How to spread JOY:

1. Attitudes are contagious, therefore holding an upbeat and positive attitude can cause others to feel confident and so on.

2. Performing generous acts of kindness this can be done by doing something as small as helping someone with homework to sharing a snack with them. Doing these types of things will let the other person know you care about them and perhaps change their attitude.

3. Recognize others talents and abilities and acknowledge them personally; basically give them a compliment. For example if you see someone is good in particular subject area such as math, then say "You're really smart." Any positive compliment goes a long way.

These sound great! They would work to give you and the person on the receiving end of these compliments/good attitudes a feel of satisfaction. Hopefully they will appreciate your kindness and you will be on the receiving end of some of their acts of joy-spreading!

1. I plan to smile as much as possible even when I'm having a bad day. I want others to be positively affected by my attitude.

2. I'll try to help others when they need it. This way they can repay someone else with an act of kindness.

3. I want to encourage others in anything they are doing instead of being a pessimist.

3 ways of spreading joy:
Offering help to people. Help wiith anything whether people ask for it or not such as opening the door for them. Kindness like this can spread to others.

Giving words of affirmation. If someone does something well compliment them and make their day.

Being nice. Just being nice can make others do the same. The people you surround yourself make you who you are so if you hang around nice people the better.

3 ways I'm going to spread Joy:
One way i can spread joy is by having a smile on my face wherever i go. A second way I can spread joy is by helping those in need of help, such as old people. A third way I can spread joy is by encouraging/ complimenting/thanking those who are close to me for the good things they do in general or for me.

My Three Ways of Spreading Joy:

1. Smile at people, you never know when they're having a bad day and you'd be amazed and how much a simple smile can do to brighten up their day.

2. Joke around with people. I feel like it makes them feel more comfortable with you, like you're friends with them and they can have a good laugh with you.

3. Listen to people when they're venting to you or talking to you. It makes them feel like you actually care and like they have someone there for them. They'll feel supported and confirmed, nobody likes to feel like they're unimportant.

Benjamin Trinh., Period 2

Three ways I spread joy:

1. I will greet strangers warmly and with excitement. Not too exciting because I do not want to startle them. This is a great way to spread joy to many people.

2. Tell jokes with many of my friends and family. Lightning up the mood and making everyone happy. Hopefully this will raise everyone's mood in the process as well.

3. I will give everyone a hug when they are sad. My warm hugs will surely arouse some people and make them happy. This will help make everyone around me a more pleasant person.

Response to my Three Ways of Spreading Joy:

1. Whenever I smile at people, honestly, they don't smile back all the time. There will be some people out there who are too shy to smile back or maybe they're just not used to having people give them friendly smiles here and there. But when I do get people who smile back, not only does it make them feel better but it makes me feel better as well. Smiles help a lot in many different ways, not just to others but to you as well.

2. Joking with new friends is always fun. You never really know how they'll react, but most of the time they go along with it and its kind of like a fun little bonding moment for the first time. Those moments are one of the things that jumpstart a friendship. Knowing that you can have a good laugh and joke around with someone makes them feel more comfortable with you, you give off a more friendly vibe.

3. Even though you don't really know someone, listening to what they have to say is always a good way to spread joy. When someone is talking to me I always pay attention and show them that I really am listening to them and they really like that response from me. They always end up coming back to me for advice or they just really like talking to me.

I like your observations. Any negativity is proof of your observation skills, and your inner futility and humanity. they can show that you can make an impact if you are only persistent and positive. (Even if this assignment is rather silly. C:)

I haven't seen anyone smile at me yet but it seems that is a very common aspiration. I'll be sure to note it down if anyone does.

I plan to spread joy this week by:
1. When I get back home from school, no matter how terrible I am feeling, I'm think of something I am thankful for or a special memory. Then I'll put on a smile on my face and let the world around me know I am a happy person.
2. When I see a friend or a family member I am going to give a compliment to them on anything that catches my attention.
3. I will offer help to people. When I am at school, home, shopping and etc. If I see anything wrong, (hold the door, something fell, person tripped) I will give my help.

Eman A. Per.2

I noticed when I was helping people, total strangers, either giving them smiles or telling them things like "Bless you" or "You look amazing today." I was feeling alot of joy around me, I feel so much more positive to. I also felt like the world is so much better when I take the time in the morning to listen to music and then greet people. Then just smile in the hallway.

Joy is shown through a cheerful, upbeat behaviour and can have a positive effect not only on yourself, but those around you.

I plan to spend joy throughout the halls of Mark Keppel and among my friends and family using three different methods:

1) Instead of complaining about my life problems and things that annoyed me throughout the day, I will focus on the positive and talk about that. Hopefully my positive conversations will lead to others talking about their positive experiences and becoming a happier person.

2) I will smile a lot. One time my friend randomly gave me spam masubi for no special reason and I was so happy that I was walking down the hallways with a big smile on my face. That may sound kind of weird, but it was a great payoff when people saw me smiling and smiled back at me!

3) Asking about other people's lives and how they're doing always make a person feel appreciated and loved. I will make sure to ask my friends and family what's up in their lives.

3) appreciate what others do for you, even the little things

Clara L, per 5

9/19/2013 06:20:03 am

My ways of spreading joy is

1) smile ; always smile. So people wont mistaken you as dogging them. Even smile to strangers. That's how i meet new people. They see you as friendly and want to get to know you ! and who knows you share common interests! Smile could get you somewhere far, by having a positive attitude and a happy environment.

2) Be helpful and courteous to others. When people are in need, help them. When I see someone dropped their binders in the hallway, i seek ways to help them. Just by simply holding the door to someone who is carrying heavy stuff or boxes, is showing kind and courteous.

3) Appreciate each other. A simple thank you will help other people feel better. Starting from saying " thank you " when someone sneeze and they say " bless you ", when someone open or hold the door for you, when they offer you food, when they pick up something you've dropped, anything. A simple thank you not only show your etiquette and manners, but also brings out a positive outlook in you. Manners and etiquette is important for first impression, this works also for dates. But with friends, family members or even strangers, start by appreciating them and be grateful. We should also thank God for shelters, food, clothes, etc. Thank our parents for their support along the way. Thank our teachers who is working hard to make us learn and be someone successful. Be grateful.

God bless!

Ways I Spread Joy:

1. The documentary elaborates on the fact that acts of kindness are just as contagious as cruel acts. Therefore, I will perform multiple acts of kindness, whenever I am given the opportunity to do so.
2.I will attempt to control my emotions, so that I do not negatively influence the people around me.
3. Be sure to let the people around me know that I appreciate and am grateful for their friendship. and endless support.

My ways of spreading joy are

1. Hugging people. I think hugs give good vibes off to everyone. Hugging can cure and help someones day become better. It just lifts you up, and makes everything go smoother.

2. Smiling is another factor of joy. Smiling is contagious, so smiling can go a long way. Smiling and saying hi to someone can make their day better. Its a great way of spreading joy.

Ways to Spread JOY! ^____^
1. Always keep a positive attitude, towards friends, teachers, classmates, and family. When you keep a positive attitude, people can feel it, and sometimes, it can turn someone's day around.
2. Smile, and make others smile as well. When people smile, they seem friendlier, therefore people become joyful. You can make others smile by telling them jokes, and funny stories.
3. Share happiness by telling people something happy about yourself and happy stories. We should tell other people joyful things.

MY PLAN YO SPREAD JOY

1) I am going to give everyone I care about tight hugs, none of that one arm stuff. A full frontal bear hug, because a hug a day makes you live longer and makes you happier in general.

2) Have a positive attitude about everything. An F on my test? Great, F stands for Fantastic. Just kidding, I'll know I'll need to improve so theirs no need to mope around about it, just got to have my chin up and move along.

3) Assist my friends in their endeavors. To use the best of my abilities to make their lives better. When they smile, I smile.

Hi Daniel! I really enjoyed your three plans to spread joy !!!
After making someone feel joyful, I believe this would have the same effect on me as well- it would make me feel even happier, knowing that I made a difference in someone's life , even though it's a small difference!

Ways to Spread JOY:
1) Keep a positive attitude so that others will have a positive attitude as well. How you feel may affect how others feel too.
2) Smile at everyone that you see and they will smile back. Just a smile can encourage somebody to be happy even if they are frustrated.
3) Act kindly to everyone, even to those people that you don't know. Kindness is very contagious so if you are kind to someone, it is very likely that they will be kind to you too.

Everyday in the hallways, I would say "hi" and smile at everyone I see. They would do the same back to me too. It is a whole circle of joy because everyone is nice to each other and they respect each other.

Qinfu G. (Ken), Period 6

How to Spread Joy:

1. Be cheerful - Been cheerful around others is always a good thing. They will see a sign of happiness and will respond with happiness as well.

2. Say Hi - A simple "hi" or "hey" can put a smile on one's face. I mean, who doesn't like getting hi and saying hi back?

3. Hide Your Frustration - No matter how frustrated or stressed you are, never put it in front of others, as it may affect them as well. People will see a sign of frustration and it might bring them down as well.

3 Ways that I can Spread Joy:
1. I can joke around with others. A sense of humor is very contagious; if I take the time to lighten up the mood, there may be a chance that I could brighten up their day.
2. I can listen to others if they are experiencing certain issues. It can be a joy to someone if I take the time to listen to them talk about something that is troubling them.
3. Be polite. Being polite has a huge effect on others; if I continue to hold doors for people, greet people appropriately, and be courteous, maybe I could make a difference in someone's mood.

I AGREE! Smiling even when you're having a bad day makes a happier atmosphere. Setting aside and leaving behind tough moments helps create a better conversation with peers. I tend to smile for no particular reason during my days whether I'm walking or sitting. I know this makes a impact on the people around me because I see that frown turn upside down. Even to strangers, I smile and immediately i am able to see a smile on their face just brightening up their day. Not only their day, but mine as well.

These things are what I usually do on a daily basis, so people were not really surprised, but I noticed they were a little happier than a second ago. When I do spead joy intentionally, I thought about how these small things really do make a change in other people's attitude. Approaching people with positive energy makes them do the same to others.

ways to spread joy response

After setting my list to spread joy i carried them out. I smiled to every thing creature I encountered and to my surprise they smiled back. a smaile can go a long way and I hope that I made someones day. I also said good morning & thank you followed by a have a good day which I normally do but this time I payed attention to the reaction. Their tone seemed happier and I felt that I had helped them. I also stayed positive which was difficult but it seemed to make people at ease. it made me feel wonderful because a friend came up to me and gave me hug. she said that I made her happy because I was always in a good mood.

I had a very positive feedback from others! Many greeted back with big smiles, and they seemed to enjoy my bright presence. Some people were thrown off a little as I smile to greet them, even though they were complete strangers to me. However, after that sudden reaction, they proceeded to greet me in a happy manner as well. I think this was definitely a success!

Ways to spread joy:

1. I will try to be a more positive person. Instead of dwelling on something unfortunate I will try to remember all the good things that I have in my life.

2. I will try and smile at people in the hallways and compliment them. I know the smallest things can really brighten someone's day.

3. I will try to be there for people. Listen to them when they have to vent, or be more aware when they're absent from school. When someone texts you asking if your okay can bring a smile to your face. You know they noticed you were missing and are genuinely worried about you.

The ways I spread joy are:
1. Supporting my friends in their decisions when it makes them happy even though it probably isn't the best idea, but if it makes them happy, I will support it.
2. Thanking people for the little things that they do. People like to feel appreciated for the good they do and thanking them will encourage them to continue doing good.
3. Being myself. By being myself, I encourage others around me to be themselves because they can see that I am not perfect, so they are more able to accept their imperfections.

2) I also like to make jokes and laugh. Believe it or not, laughter is actually really contagious. One person starts laughing and a whole classroom could break out in laughter:) !

3) Say something that you like about someone! Tell them that you like their smile, and maybe they would start smiling more!

Well, for various reasons not relatable here, I can't smile. D:

However!

I can still write some 50 word post on ways I can make people's days better. And that post is!

Way number one! I can always be ready to help someone with their requests. This will make people think better of the people in the world (their world) and thus make their day. There is nothing more appealing than having your requests for help answered excellently and punctually which I can provide!

I can relate important life advice! People who meet me will know that they are capable of whatever they set their mind to and will learn new things (with no real effort from my part). I have plenty of advice I can provide if I choose to talk.

Thirdly! I can put exclamation marks on my sentences! This will make me seem I have more zest for life than I actually do and make it seem as if I have a positive and upbeat attitude when I actually do not. Pretending can be just as meaningful to people as honest feeling. :D (Psychopaths4lyf) Firm handshake.

1. Smile, Smile, Smile! It's important to put a smile on your face because it makes the people around you know that you are in a good mood and it makes the atmosphere when they are around you a lot more cheerful! It's also contagious! So when you smile, other people smile as well.

2. Having small talk with people whether it's for 5 minutes or 30 seconds. When you see someone, it's always nice to talk with them even if it's just for a little bit because maybe that person has been feeling lonely, or just wanted to talk to someone about something random! It also gives an opportunity to build a friendship that could essentially last forever.

3. Compliment others about anything! What they are wearing, how they look, or maybe compliment a nice characteristic about them. If you compliment someone, it might make that person's day.

People feel warm when someone smile at them even they don't know each other. People feel loved when someone notice their change, such as new hair style, new clothing and new accessories they wear. They would be glad by knowing that they are somewhat important in other people's eyes. When people seek for help or advice on practical or emotional hardships, others should give positive opinions to make them think the hardship is just a piece of cake; that way, they can easily overcome it.

I feel that I can make a change to people surrounding me. I feel happy and satisfied when my intention of spreading joy actually have some effects on other people.

How to spread JOY (9/20/13):

1. First off, I have to start with myself. I can’t give what I don’t have, so I have to be kind to myself. I have got to have positive thoughts and just be happy with myself. With this done, I will go out and spread some happiness around me.

2. Besides smiling at everyone around me everywhere I go, I will also be genuine. By this I mean that I will say something good and about someone or something. His will feel much better than gossiping, since I will be spreading positive words and thoughts with the people around me. It’s a win-win situation!

3. The element of surprise never fails! This is why I will surprise those around me with small gifts, kind words, help, a hug, or a genuine compliment. I also plan to notice and help someone around me, even if I don’t know them; it’ll make their day and mine as well.

Response to the “Ways I Spread Joy” (9/22/13):

1. Within these past few days, I realized that I exude more joy when I am happy with myself than when I’m feeling down. It all begins with me, and I need to continue doing this in order to spread happiness to everyone that surrounds me.

2. Walking around with a smile on my face was a complete hassle, since I wasn't always in a good mood. Regardless, I knew that my mere smile would be better than doing the opposite. I don’t know the exact results of this action, but I know that they must be positive ones.

3. By surprising the ones around me, even if it was just with actions helped a lot. They really appreciated my kind actions, and were happy for the rest of their days. I tried as best as I could to help strangers around me, and their reactions were really heartwarming. I’m glad that I am so proactive about spreading joy, and I know that I will continue to do so.

Whenever I smiled to someone, they smiled back. It lifted their moods and made it easier for them to talk to me because of the gleeful aura that was surrounding us.
They responded back by smiling back at me and it became very easy to communicate and have fun with each other because it was so nice enjoying each others company.
This intentional move to spread joy made me feel great as it made me happier because I had to first be happy before I can make someone else happy.

How to spread JOY (9/20/13):

1. I usually smile when talking to people to make them feel comfortable. Whatever they are feeling, it can be sad,mad,horrible, or happy as well. I would keep a smile so that it brings a good mood between us. And if they see me happy, then they wouldn't be as bad.

2. Talk to people. Even if i know them just a bit or a lot, i would talk to them even for the littlest of time to see how they are and how their day is going. I would find out to see how they are doing and cheer them up if anything is wrong.

3. Making sure they are all right and making them feel accompanied. I would stay with the person and try to talk to them if they aren't feeling well. Even if there isn't much to say, it is still nice to be by their side when they feel upset. Making someone happy also makes me happy.

Response to the “Ways I Spread Joy” (9/22/13):

1. Whenever i smile and see people or talk to them it usually makes them smile as well. It gives both of us joy and happiness

2. When i talk to people i get to find out how they are. I've found out how they are and they seem pretty happy to tell me about what's going on at the time. It seems to make them happy and I'm happy to listen to it.

3. Staying by someones side and talking to them while they are upset has helped those people I've been with. I was able to give them advice and be along side them as they were sad. It helped cheer them up.

2. Whenever I see something someone wears or do is nice, I will compliment them. Even if someone is having a bad day, I hope my compliments will be able to brighten up their day.

3. Helping people is my favorite way to spread joy. If I see someone drop something in the hallway, I will pick it up and give it back to them. If a homeless person asks me for money, I will donate it to them.

Response: Whenever I smile, compliment, or help someone I always get a smile back along with a "thank you". Spreading joy makes me beautiful and good about myself. Its a very special feeling that can only be felt by the heart.

Ways I spread Joy:
1. Make people laugh by telling them a joke so that they feel happier at school.

2. Send out good morning and goodnight texts to people I don't normally say good morning or goodnight, hopefully they feel more special.

3. Compliment people on the things they do or what they are wearing, because it gives people self confidence and makes them feel good about themself.

Response:
People whom i texted good morning and goodnight responded that it made their day and it started off their day really good. Making people laugh with jokes always puts a smile on people's faces, and finally complimenting people made them feel really good and they complimented me back and said thank you hopefully spreading the joy even more.

Ways I spread Joy:
1. I always try to cheer up people who are having a bad day and try to make them laugh. I tell jokes or take them out somewhere to help them take their mind off things.

2. I help out friends when they need help such as with projects, work, moving, etc etc.

3. I always lend an ear if anyone wanted to talk about anything or if I see someone who is down. If they are down or look a bit out of sorts, I would go and check up on them.

My friend had been looking for a specific brand of chips for almost two months. Every time we went to the store the chips would be sold out and we could never find them. On Saturday I found the chips in this adorable grocery market so I bought two bags of them and gave them to my friend. She was very happy which made me cheerful too. It always makes me happy to do things for other people because it makes them happy and knowing that I make people's day better is just like the best thing ever.

Hi I'm super sorry I just found out about this post right now and it's my fault for not paying attention, but even if this doesn't count towards my grade anymore I still want to post it. :)

1. I think that a simple smile to someone while walking down the hallway is a good way to spread joy. When I was at a stop sign and the lady across from me gave me a simple smile, I felt really good and warm inside.
2. Talking to an old friend. I love it when someone I haven't talked to in a while texts/calls me! It makes me feel like I am of some importance.
3. Surprises. I love surprises, small and big. Even the simplest things, like a cookie or a cupcake, could make my day. I should find time to make them for my friends (hmu if you want one).

3 ways I will spread joy:
Smile
Tell lame jokes
Listen to people when they talk

Their responses:
Mostly positive. People tend to smile back when you smile at them first. I love lame jokes, and people tend to release even a chuckle at the quality of lame. Some people who have had a bad day tends to like to talk and vent. i listened and once they're done, they say and even look better after they have shared their issues with me. a lending ear can really help.

Ways i Spread Joy:

1. I am never selfish. This is one way where i put others happiness to contribute to my happiness. It is truly heartwarming to see another person smile because i did something.

2. Always smile no matter what. Don't let your bad day bring others down. If one person is sad, I always make sure i comfort them with the most heartwarming way possible.

3. Always know how to make another person smile. Whether it is to crack a joke, or make a funny noise, make a sad person happy. Talk to someone who usually does'nt talk.

People really appreciated my complements and it brought a big smile to their faces. My friends said they liked my hugs and the one that was sad said it made her feel better. They also told me I looked happy as I was walking through the hallway and they got a good vibe from me.

The joy I spread really affected people in a positive way. They liked being greeted with a "good morning" because it helped them start their day off good. They also liked when I asked how their day was and they liked talking about the good and bad things that happened through out their day.
