"How to Be Happy Every Day: It Will Change the World" by Jacqueline Way

Jacqueline Way is a mother of three and the starter of 365give.ca. All my life I heard teachers, church, and my parents say “giving is the purpose of living” I never really believed or think about this but after I watched this Ted talk it all made sense. She talked about no matter if it’s giving or receiving makes people happy and how just a small gesture can help others. This is reported statically and physically, and it’s incredibly true. I remember a summer ago I took an art class at a very busy MRT station, I passed by an old homeless lady every day I would give her someone dollar coins that wouldn’t help that much but she give me the warmest smile. After a week, before I went to class one day I passed McDonald's I bought an extra breakfast. I gave it to her and she was so so happy. This act gave me life, same as much this video. We should always give no matter what, this is the way to be happy.
