Weekly Wisdom Newsletter #7

Published Date: Sunday, December 16, 2018

Hi All!

Here are this week's chosen learning points:

1. Happiness: 50% of happiness is genetic disposition, 10-20% is based on life circumstances, and 30-40% is based on the way we think and act. (Source)

2. Maintaining relationships with unhappy family members: This will be easier if you do two things. First, don't try to cheer them up; their happiness is not your responsibility. Second, acknowledge their perspective so they don't keep feeling the need to repeating it. (Source)

3. Trivia: In China, students give teachers apple on Christmas as a symbol of wishing their teachers a healthy year ahead. (Source: My students gave me apples)
