By MARIA CHENG,AP Medical Writer AP - Friday, December 5LONDON - When you're smiling, the whole world really does smile with you.
A paper being published Friday in a British medical journal concludes that happiness is contagious _ and that people pass on their good cheer even to total strangers.
American researchers who tracked more than 4,700 people in Framingham, Mass., as part of a 20-year heart study also found the transferred happiness is good for up to a year.
"Happiness is like a stampede," said Nicholas Christakis, a professor in Harvard University's sociology department and co-author of the study. "Whether you're happy depends not just on your own actions and behaviors and thoughts, but on those of people you don't even know."
While the study is another sign of the power of social networks, it ran through 2003, just before the rise of social networking Web sites like Friendster, MySpace and Facebook. Christakis couldn't say for sure whether the effect works online.
"This type of technology enhances your contact with friends, so it should support the kind of emotional contagion we observed," he said.
Christakis and co-author James Fowler, of the University of California in San Diego, are old hands at studying social networks. They previously found that obesity and smoking habits spread socially as well.
For this study, published in the British journal BMJ, they examined questionnaires that asked people to measure their happiness. They found distinct happy and unhappy clusters significantly bigger than would be expected by chance.
Happy people tended to be at the center of social networks and had many friends who were also happy. Having friends or siblings nearby increased people's chances of being upbeat. Happiness spread outward by three degrees, to the friends of friends of friends.
Happy spouses helped, too, but not as much as happy friends of the same gender. Experts think people, particularly woman, take emotional cues from people who look like them.
Christakis and Fowler estimate that each happy friend boosts your own chances of being happy by 9 percent. Having grumpy friends decreases it by about 7 percent.
But it also turns out misery don't love company: Happiness seemed to spread more consistently than unhappiness. But that doesn't mean you should drop your gloomy friends.
"Every friend increases the probability that you're at the center of a network, which means you are more eligible to get a wave of happiness," Fowler said.
Being happy also brings other benefits, including a protective effect on your immune system so you produce fewer stress hormones, said Andrew Steptoe, a psychology professor at University College London who was not involved with the study.
But you shouldn't assume you can make yourself happy just by making the right friends.
"To say you can manipulate who your friends are to make yourself happier would be going too far," said Stanley Wasserman, an Indiana University statistician who studies social networks.
The study was only conducted in a single community, so it would take more research to confirm its findings. But in a time of economic gloom, it also suggested some heartening news about money and happiness.
According to the research, an extra chunk of money increases your odds of being happy only marginally _ notably less than the odds of being happier if you have a happy friend.
"You can save your money," Christakis said. "Being around happy people is better."

Improve memory
Memory plays an important part in our live .We often forget things.Forgetting things can loss our credibility especially in working world and if you`re a boss.
Short-term memory refers to the capacity for holding a small amount of information in mind in an active, readily available state for a short period of time. The duration of short-term memory is about 20 seconds. Estimates of the capacity of short-term memory vary – from about 3 or 4 elements (i.e., words, digits, or letters) to about 9 elements
Long-term memory is memory that can last as little as a few days or as long as decades.
Memory is affected by many factors such as:
Age
Depression
Chemical or toxic exposure
Stress
Overall brain health
Genetics
Medication side effects
Alcoholism
Diet
Trust and be confident that you have a good memory
An active social life
Be a social butterfly. One study found that people who socialize regularly do far better on memory tests than their less outgoing counterparts, since participating in conversations exercises the brain.
Exercise.Physical activity rushes oxygen to the brain and builds new cells in the brain region linked to memory.
Take a nap Research has found that people who squeeze in a catnap during the day retain twice as much of the information they learned that day as those who don’t.
Organize your thoughts.By organizing your though ,it will be clearer to you of what to think and remember
Learn to use Mnemonics Mnemonic are clues of any kind that help us remember something, usually by causing us to associate the information we want to remember with a visual image, a sentence, or a word.
Use all your senses.
The more senses you use when you learn something, the more of your brain will be involved in retaining the memory. For example, odors are famous for conjuring memories from the distant past, especially those with strong emotional content, such as visits to a cookie-baking grandparent.
Read ,Draw and write
Widen the brain regions involved in learning by reading aloud, drawing a picture, or writing down the information you want to learn (even if you never look back at your notes). Just forming a visual image of something makes it easier to remember and understand; it forces you to make the information more precise.
Repeat things you need to learn. The more times you hear, see, or think about something, the more surely you’ll remember it
Do new things and challenger yourself
Engaging in activities that require you to concentrate and tax your memory will help you maintain skills as you age. Discuss books, do crossword puzzles, sudoku, try new recipes, travel, and undertake projects or hobbies that require skills you aren’t familiar or comfortable with. Again, challenge all of your senses as you venture into the unfamiliar: Try to guess the ingredients in a restaurant dish; give sculpting or ceramics a try; sample different types of music.
If you’re trying to memorize something, do it on an empty stomach. The hormone that improves memory is highest when the stomach is empty.
Move your eyes
Moving your eyes side to side for 30 seconds every morning can improve memory by ten percent. How? It gets the two sides of the brain working in harmony.

Making decision
The most important things in life is making decision.We all make decision all the time be it big or small.Whether you realise it or not we are making decision almost every minutes of our life.You are making decision to read this article.You make decision to eat, listen and so on .You may call it personal necessity but if you decide not to eat for a week than you are going to die.
Even if you decide not to read or do something you have already decided.
As I have said ,we make decision almost every minutes of our life so you may do it unconsciously.Sometimes we do it unconsciously that we did not realise that if can affect us badly or we were making a bad decision through our action.
It is through our learning that we can have more informed choice and therefore and make the right decision.If we did not learn thing we will not know ways or other alternative.

how to listen
One of other ways of learning is to listen. Listening to speech,radio,podcast or even music. Can you learn by
listening music? Of course,you can learn new words but you need to to attentive.
Have you ever been irritated when someone who keep nodding his head but look at something or somewhere else when you are talking to him?
Surely he did`t show respect to you!
Great communicators are great listenersand listening actively show respect to the speaker.here are some ways:
Focus on the speaker completely and don`t do something else like checking your watches or even email.It`s rude!
Be genuine in listening When the speaker feel that you are really listening,it show that you respect him.He will ,in turn, thanks and respect you.You`ll respect him and he respect you and there`ll be trust trust is very important in any kind of relationship be it personal or business
Nod – nod once in a while to signal that you are listening. But don’t overdo it. Relate what the speaker is saying to what you already know.Also take note of the main point.
Do not interrupt you can ask question or give your opinion but just don`t interrupt.The speaker will appreciate your question or opinion as he tale it that you`re interested in what he is talking.Asking question can also show that you are listening and you want to confirm your understanding.
Take note of your own body posture Don’t slouch, sit up straight and don’t fidget .You body posture can show if you`re listening or just acting.
observe his attitude and body language. It`s all part of what he is saying.Sometimes people say something but communicate something else.You can see it through his body language
Watch how people act when they are talking. If you are smart and watch long enough you can catch a glimpse of their real personality.Knowing their real personality you can interact with them better.
The next time you are talking to someone takes note about the point i have mention and see if he really listening to you.Don`t forget to use it when you`re listening to someone else
listening music? Of course,you can learn new words but you need to to attentive.
Have you ever been irritated when someone who keep nodding his head but look at something or somewhere else when you are talking to him?

Great communicators are great listenersand listening actively show respect to the speaker.here are some ways:
Focus on the speaker completely and don`t do something else like checking your watches or even email.It`s rude!
Be genuine in listening When the speaker feel that you are really listening,it show that you respect him.He will ,in turn, thanks and respect you.You`ll respect him and he respect you and there`ll be trust trust is very important in any kind of relationship be it personal or business
Nod – nod once in a while to signal that you are listening. But don’t overdo it. Relate what the speaker is saying to what you already know.Also take note of the main point.
Do not interrupt you can ask question or give your opinion but just don`t interrupt.The speaker will appreciate your question or opinion as he tale it that you`re interested in what he is talking.Asking question can also show that you are listening and you want to confirm your understanding.
Take note of your own body posture Don’t slouch, sit up straight and don’t fidget .You body posture can show if you`re listening or just acting.
observe his attitude and body language. It`s all part of what he is saying.Sometimes people say something but communicate something else.You can see it through his body language
Watch how people act when they are talking. If you are smart and watch long enough you can catch a glimpse of their real personality.
The next time you are talking to someone takes note about the point i have mention and see if he really listening to you.Don`t forget to use it when you`re listening to someone else

knowledge sharing
Some of you may be selfish in thinking that " since I know more why should i be sharing the knowledge.They will be the same standard with me"
You should have the facts right.Knowledge alone won`t determine your success.Its how you use the little knowledge to make a difference.Even if you know many things but did not do anything,it useless.
Further more ,by sharing it with others you are unknowingly teaching them.When you teach ,you will remember the things more.You can also interact, discuss and hear their opinion which widen your horizon.Other will also share their knowledge to you ,so you know more and learn morewithout having to reads more book . You`ll gain something more when sharing.

Feel stupid asking question?
Are you one of those who feel stupid when asking question?Then you are not alone. There are many people out there who feel the same.
So how can you not feel stupid? Just tell yourself that clever people love to ask question.If you don`t ask question, you won`t know which mean that you`ll not learn .You cannot be a clever person without learning.
So start asking question now..

learn
We learn to gain knowledge. Without knowledge we are no different from others.Without knowledge no one can say that they are better.So, in order to be better from other we have to read and listen more .We have to learn.
The more thing you know and learn the better.You`ll know what other don`t.But keep it in mind that knowledge without application is useless
The more thing you know and learn the better.You`ll know what other don`t.But keep it in mind that knowledge without application
Don`t expect anything from anyone
The thing with us human is that we expect highly on others.We usually did not think of other alternative or solution if the person we are relying on did not do as expected.As the result , we lose the tender or anything that is important to us.
In order not to let things happen again we have to have a backup plan. I`m not saying that you should not trust you friends or partner but things do happen especially at `inappropriate` time where you expect them to run smoothly.

inspirational quotes
What we don`t get from others is the reflection of what you are unwilling to give others
Apa Yang Kita Tidak Dapat Dari Orang Lain Mencerminkan Apa Yang Kita Enggan Berikan Kepada Orang Lain”
lazy people
Have you ever heard of any successful people who are very lazy?I don`t think so because all those who have achieve their goals or dreams work hard to get them.All of the true millionaire work long hours and have discipline ,to do things that they need to do ,before they get rich.Lazy people don`t get thing done .Even if they do, it`ll be late or in a bad quality.They don`t put any effort to it. When nothing is done you cannot go anywhere.
Lazy people dont like to hold responsibilty.They are not even responsible about themselves,wasting precious time.So others wont trust them and they are not important.
Lazy people will always point the blame elsewhere.They don`t even try to find out whats wrong but immeadiately blame other. They work less and sleep more.Even their "work" literally useless and mean nothing
So calling all lazy poeple ,get your butt off and so something important!

1cent matter
As the saying goes "bit by bit make a pile" Even if you put a cent to your piggy bank it is much better than nothing.Of course if you put more it is much better but sometime we unconsciously think "never mind,it just a little.It won`t make a difference" even thought we know that "bit by bit make a piles"So try or force yourself to remember it by heart. It`ll do you good !
Plan
We need to plan our small goals in order to attain our dream.It should be on a daily basis but we also need to have a weekly or monthly plan which is depend on how big our goal is.
If you are on a diet ,
-you should plan what you eat and exercise
-try new form of exercise
-should lose some specific weight at a specific date

Goals
WE need to be well prepared in order to achieve our goal so we need to have plan on how to get them.The reason why most people don`t have goals in live is because they see their dream as big and unachievable.But the truth is we need to have many small goal in order to make our dream into reality.
preparing for life
Whether or not you reach your goals in life depends entirely on how well you prepare for them and how badly you want them.Knowing what you want.

Taxi driver,I`m going to the ....
In todays busy world ,we are used to the word "busy" and "no time".We have no time to take a deep breath,relax and do what we really want.
Have you ever sit down and ask yourself where are you now.The "where" I mean here is not the office or shopping mall but what i`m refering to is how far are you from getting what you want in life.
Remember ,what you want in life is your `destination`.Its like getting in to the taxi and telling the driver where you want to go.but in this case you are the driver!
Not knowing where to go is the mistake that most people make .
For me, I want to have an excess of money that I can use for my parents comfort.
How about you?Do you have an answer for this:
Driver:Yes Miss,where do you want to go?

What you want in life
In order to improve in your life to a better one ,you have to know what you want in life.It is like asking yourself where do you want to go when you are leaving the house.If you just leave the house without knowing where to go you`ll no where near your destination.
So what do you want in life? Is it money,status ,happy family or what?
Some people love to help other.Other may not.Different people have different "wants" and perception of successful.If your best friend become a CEO that does`t mean that you have too,to be successful.Don`t follow other .Just follow your heart.

What to think?
As I havewritten on previous post,YOU are what you think.So who do you want to be?That the important question.
The brain is like a machine that you can control.What you think will determine who you are.You have to make use of it
To answer the question of " what to think" ,you first have to answer the important question ,which is" Who do you want to be."
Do you want to be successful or a failure,someone who is poor or a millionaire?It all up to you and to have what you want is all depend on you input .

You are what you think.
What do you think of most of the time?Do you think that you are a failure?Good for nothing?
When you think you are good for nothing than you are.But if you think you are good,than you are good.See what i mean?It just the use of our brain.
From now on -I`ll think positively
- make good use of my brain
