I thought I knew  the key to happiness was having the most toys and getting everything you want .


But now I know it is doing what makes you happy and just living in the moment. Happiness is  doing what makes you happy as much as possible. Happiness is not just a thing it is a feeling and there are so many things that bring you happiness. The cool thing about happiness is that no one experiences happiness the same.


I thought I knew  everything


But know I know no matter how much I know or think I know there is always more to learn. No matter how much i know i an always learn more. knowledge is cool in that way you can never run out and you will always be learning new things. You learn new things in every thing you do.


I thought I knew what beauty is I thought it was how pretty you are or how popular you are.

 

But now I know, beauty is not what is seen it is what is shown. It is what is on the inside. Beauty is what ever you make it, what every you thing is beauty that's what matters. I does not matter how many sports you play, how skinny you are, or what you look like. Its about if you are kind, Caring, loving. These are examples of beauty real beauty not just what is thought as beauty.

 

I thought i knew that if you were beautiful then you must be happy.

 

But I learned that you learn that you are beautiful if you are happy and proud of you self. beauty doesn't bring happy ness happiness brings beauty.


The author's comments:

I realized when my teachers asked the the true meaning of all of these I watched as all of my class mates all had different answers. That changed my way of thinking that what I thought all of these meant no longer mean the same thing. I made me realized they they mean different things to every one so there isn't just one definition.
