Moment

According to Ted Talks online video, “Want to be happier? Stay in the moment,” guest speaker, Matt Killingsworth, begins by saying that the reason we desire extravagant objects is to achieve happiness. He continues to explain that happiness is the outcome of living in the moment. Next, Killingsworth explains that people are much happier when they are focused rather than when they are mind wandering. He goes on to further describe the relationship between mind wandering and unhappiness; and…

himself. Crewdson enlightens us on how Hopper's narratives are told “in a single picture,” depicting “impregnated moments: the images seem to pose a question—and that question remains unresolved”. Hopper’s “still vignettes seem eternally suspended in an instant between “before” and “after.” It is this same kind of moment that I want to capture, where the viewer is witnessing an in-between moment that leaves one questioning what may have just happened or what might happen next. The parallels…

household name and can be used by anyone with basic computer knowledge. In its commercial called “Grads”, it shows the life of the average high schooler and his or her journey through it. The commercial shows the ups and downs, the exciting moments, and the tough moments when it seems like nothing is going right. But it shows that Google is always there for anyone when they need help or answers. For the typical teenager, the one common goal is simply making it through high school. Making it…

“So much work, for that one moment…” I remember hearing her voice, so strong, yet calming and concerned for my current condition, entering the room. “How is she? Has she awakened since surgery?” As I felt my shaky and tired eyelids attempt to open, my mother informed her I had not woke. I felt her at my bedside, her warm hand on my seemingly numb arm. She appeared fuzzy, but I could see this beautiful look on her face. She was looking at me, like I had never seen someone look at me before.…

This I Believe What makes a person believe in something? A powerful moment, tragic loss, or sign from above are all things that can cause people to have a deeper understanding of their life. In particular, an influencing moment caused me to realize some things about an area of my life that were not clear before. Due to this moment, I now strongly believe in the power of spotlight. I am a member of the varsity show choir group called Express at my school. Being apart of this group has…

trip in the army; the first time that I was going to defend a Country, I was on Israel border with Syria, and I carried and used a gun. Every person knows that defending a Country is not comfortable. On occasion, they can have enormously dangerous moments where the soldiers must need to be present. To be the first time that my colleagues and I defended the country was pleasant. We all were extremely…

Mark Healing from God will produce a holistic experience of healing the emotional, physical, and social. The account of Mark goes into the most detail about the woman’s process of looking for healing within the available healthcare system. Her need of healing led her to see many health care physicians, but their system did not work for her. Rather, the health care system led her to be worse than she was before, because she had been financially depleted by this system (Mark 5:26). The healing…

banter throughout the play that was easily enjoyable. At some parts they would comment on someone else’s size, love life, or give them a humorously stern lecture about hard truths, and that dialogue was really fun to watch. The other entertaining moments I liked was when some of the characters would intentionally break the fourth wall. There was a character at one point who broke the fourth wall by literally running through a “wall” that was meant to be there, and the other characters addressed…

beliefs. I will instead offer the students an alternative. Over the loud speaker I will inform the student body of the accident and offer a moment of silence. I will tell all students and teachers that the moment of silence can be used for quiet reflection, quiet prayer, or a quiet activity. If any member of the student body, or anyone else wished to use that moment for silent prayer, that is their right. Evidence: The United States was founded on religious freedom, and it is vital to our…

Social networking allows people to share, almost instantly, moments in time. However, these sites are distracting people from living fully in the moment because their attention and interest is not fully directed to only the experience. They are spending too much time mentally preparing the best way to showcase their moment in a post online, rather than living that experience to the fullest. In Peggy Orenstein’s “I Tweet, Therefore I Am,” she…
