Happy Wife, Happy Life Dictated By: Gulya, Roberto, Alex, Maha, Julya, Ivan and Svetlana Podcast 45, September 2014 Happy Wife, Happy Life Dictated by: Gulya, Roberto, Alex, Maha, Julya, Ivan and Svetlana Hello everybody! You're listening to Let's Master English and my name is Coach Shane. Hello everybody, welcome back. This is Let's Master English podcast 45. We're getting close to number 50. Thank you so much for downloading and listening to the podcast. Today, we have an interesting news story, very interesting, a fact from Country Shane, 5 questions from you. And that's it. Nice, short, sweet and simple. But Coach Shane, where is the book club? Yes, we have a new book club podcast and that will come out later on this week. So, that's another podcast. The same channel, so you're not going to miss it if you subscribe. Ok, let's go ahead and get started. I really like today's news story, it's about marriage. Let's check it out... You may have heard that a happy marriage is good for your heart, emotionally and physically. The redaction in stress actually lowers the risk of heart disease. But, there is more. If the wife is happy the quality of life for the hubby will be great. And that means a longer, happier life together. The golden nugget - you're obviously gonna fight with your better half, but the key to happiness is how she feels after you fight. Then more she wins, the happier you'll be. Wow! Very interesting news! Once again, the reader, it is assumed is the guy, if you are a woman reading this story, you have to understand that a man or a husband is reading the news. Ok? Listen to it again and it's not that difficult, but listen again. Here we go: You may have heard that a happy marriage is good for your heart, emotionally and physically. The redaction in stress actually lowers the risk of heart disease. But, there is more. If the wife is happy the quality of life for the hubby will be great. And that means a longer, happier life together. The golden nugget - you're obviously going to fight with your better half, but the key to happiness is how she feels after you fight. The more she wins, the happier you'll be. 1 So I think, I, I think many married couples or married people who are listening to this podcast will agree. If the husband and the wife have an argument, if they have a fight, it seems to be better if the wife wins, even if she’s wrong hahahah right! Well anyway, I’m very curious as to what you guys think about this and not you young punks, I want to know about the people older than me, people in their fifties, their sixties, their seventies, anybody up there in their eighties? People have been married over forty years that would be really interesting. Thirty years is pretty good but forty years fifty years that’s amazing! If you’ve been married over forty years, over fifty years or more please tell us your advice. Is this true? Is this story sound true “Happy wife, Happy life”. Of..., I don’t know for me it’s sound like it might be right. Let’s go back to the first sentence: You may have heard that a happy marriage is good for your heart, h-e-a-r-t. Your heart, you, you’ve probably heard, maybe in the news from other people in a book that if you have a happy marriage it’s good for your heart emotionally. It makes you happy and physically, your physical health, you’re actually physically healthier if your marriage is good. Of course, if your marriage is happy then emotionally you’ll be happy too. It’s good. So, if you have a good happy marriage, it’s better for you, emotionally and physically. Of course you may have heard that. You probably already heard that. You might have heard that, you might have read that. And once again, how is it physically better for your heart? How is a happy marriage physically better? The next sentence: The reduction in stress actually lowers the risk of heart disease. So, the reduction in stress, reduction - the lower amount. So, if you are in a happy relationship, every time you go home, you’ll feel good, you’ll feel happy, you’ll feel relaxed. If you’re in a bad relationship – you don’t want to go home, going home is stressful, it’ll be an argument, it’s no fun, it’s not good and that extra stress in your life can actually cause heart disease. But if you are in a happy home that reduction in stress, that lower amount of stress actually lowers the risk, reduces the risk, it reduces the negative chance of heart disease. So, that’s good news. But there is more. There is more good news! If the wife is happy, the quality of life for the hubby will be great. So, in this happy marriage, specifically if the wife is happy… if you ask a woman who is married: “Are you happy?” “Yes!”… if she says “Yes”, if she believes she is happy in her relationship, then the quality of life for the husband is great. It’s excellent. That husband is living a very good life. And you know what? I think that makes sense. Because, not for every wife, not for every woman, of course, but many… my Mom, my aunts, yeah, I 2 think almost all of my aunts and my Mom, oh... they pretty much do the cooking and the cleaning and they take care of the house, they make it nice and clean and they cook Dad’s favorite meal, they’re nice to Dad, they’ll even have breakfast and maybe some coffee ready for Dad in the morning. Life is good for my dad. My dad’s like a king. However, my dad does his best to make my mom happy. And that’s the key. If the wife is happy - she will probably work even harder to show her appreciation, to show her happiness, to show her love for her husband. No, I didn’t say husband. I said hubby, h-u-b-b-y. Hubby is the same as husband. And for wife – do we say wifey? Yes, we do. W-i-f-e-y is possible. So, that sentence again. But there is more. If the wife is happy, the quality of life for the hubby will be great! Next sentence: And that means a longer, happier life together. That sounds so nice. That sounds really nice to me. If the wife is happy, the husband will have a great life. And if that’s true then those two people will have a long, happy life together. And it will be long, because a happy marriage is good for your heart. Physically they’ll be healthier, emotionally they’ll be happier. Life will be great. How wonderful is that. Now, the next sentence is important: The golden nugget, the most valuable thing to learn or to remember. So, when we talk about gold, we think of a gold ring, or a gold tooth, or in the Olympics a gold medal, m-e-d-a-l, however if you go into the mountains and looking for gold, you find like a rock or a stone, it looks like a rock r-o-c-k, we actually call that a nugget, so a golden nugget, something very valuable, something you want to keep. When we talk about a golden nugget as information, it's something you want to remember. Nugget n-u-g-g-e-t, the golden nugget, the thing you need to remember. Here we go: You're obviously going to fight with your better half, but the key to happiness is how she feels, after you fight. This is the important information, every married couple that truly loves each other they’ll fight, they'll have an argument, and when we say fight, we don't mean... No, no we don't mean like boxing, no of course not, argue, argue, fight, a verbal argument. So every couple is going to fight, you men, and I am taking to men, you are going to fight with your better half, another excellent expression, better half b-e-t-t-e-r h- a-l-f the better half is the wife, yeah, that's how we say it in America, so we can have a... let's say for example, I'm married and I introduce you to my wife, I would say - hey John, this is my better half, and the idea is: a husband and a wife are one, they're a couple, but if you split a couple in half, you have the man half and the woman half, but everybody knows the man half is not so good, the woman half is the good part, so the better half is the wife, the woman. So every man, every husband is going to fight with his wife, but the key to happiness, the most important thing for happiness is: how she feels after you fight. So, during the argument, 3 you know you're gonna argue, you're gonna say stupid things, but after the argument that's what's important; she needs to feel relaxed, she needs to feel as though she has communicated her point and sometimes, she needs to feel like the winner, that's true, that's what the science says.

    BALLADS AND LYRICS OF OLD FRANCE: WITH OTHER POEMS SPRING. CHARLES D’ORLEANS, 1391-1465. [The new-liveried year. - Sir Henry Wotton.] The year has changed his mantle cold Of wind, of rain, of bitter air; And he goes clad in cloth of gold, Of laughing suns and season fair; No bird or beast of wood or wold But doth with cry or song declare The year lays down his mantle cold. All founts, all rivers, seaward rolled, The pleasant summer livery wear, With silver studs on broidered vair; The world puts off its raiment old, The year lays down his mantle cold. RONDEL. CHARLES D’ORLEANS, 1391-1465. [To his Mistress, to succour his heart that is beleaguered by jealousy.] Strengthen, my Love, this castle of my heart, And with some store of pleasure give me aid, For Jealousy, with all them of his part, Strong siege about the weary tower has laid. Nay, if to break his bands thou art afraid, Too weak to make his cruel force depart, Strengthen at least this castle of my heart, And with some store of pleasure give me aid. Nay, let not Jealousy, for all his art Be master, and the tower in ruin laid, That still, ah Love! thy gracious rule obeyed. Advance, and give me succour of thy part; Strengthen, my Love, this castle of my heart. RONDEL. FRANCOIS VILLON, 1460 Goodbye! the tears are in my eyes; Farewell, farewell, my prettiest; Farewell, of women born the best; Good-bye! the saddest of good-byes. Farewell! with many vows and sighs My sad heart leaves you to your rest; Farewell! the tears are in my eyes; Farewell! from you my miseries Are more than now may be confessed, And most by thee have I been blessed, Yea, and for thee have wasted sighs; Goodbye! the last of my goodbyes.

  • How to Have a Happy Life Page 1
    How to Have a Happy Life Page 1 printer friendly July - August 2003 Search our site here... GO! How to Have a Happy Life our site web We always wish to have a happy life, but what do we really mean when we say "happy"? And will all the good intentions we have bring us happiness? Let us contemplate the wisdom of an enlightend master, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, to help us focus on what we really mean and how to achieve it. This is what he says: Happiness does not only come from achievement. When you were a child you were simply happy. So that is your nature. And every moment, with every single action, we are all seeking to be happy because it is the original nature. You were taught about philosophies, gods, heaven and hell, but nobody taught you to be happy. If you go against your own nature to be happy, you will never get anywhere. And to be happy is not the ultimate aspect of life. To be happy is the fundamental aspect of life. If you are not happy, what else can you do with your life? Only if you are happy, can other great possibilities arise in your life. The first and most fundamental responsibility for a human being is to become joyous being himself or herself. It doesn't matter what you are pursuing in your life, whether it is business, money, power, education, service or something else, you are doing so because somewhere deep inside you is a feeling that this will bring you happiness.

  • A Semiotic Analysis
    Pakistan Journal of Gender Studies 81 Vol. 14, pp. 81-110, ISSN: 2072-0394 Construction Of Female Identity In Pakistani Television Commercials (November, 2015-April, 2016): A Semiotic Analysis Moneeba Iftikhar & Mehwish Islam Department of Mass Communication Lahore College for Women University Abstract This study explores how TV commercials in Pakistan construct female identity in the present era. Advertising becomes an essential part in moulding and shaping our behaviour, attitude, values towards lifestyle and advertisers use visual, semiotic and printed text aims to convey their specific messages. This work attempts to analyze how the belief system of "flawless" and "perfect" society is created and constructed in and through advertisements. This study employed semiotic analysis as a research method to examine Pakistani TVCs. With stratified sampling technique, ten TVCs selected that appeared during intervals breaks of famous TV serials ,obtained from main three private Pakistani channels, on a week after week premise for a time of six months. TVCs were analyzed with reference to the representation of Pakistani women in selected time period. As sign frameworks are included in the construction of meaning and advertising utilizes these signs to transmit its message. The ideologically developed messages, TVCs not only depict the image of women but have additionally made that image into the affirmed part of the female identity in the society. The overall findings reveal that women identity thrive in TV commercials that repeatedly represent women as glamorized sex object, there by not reflecting the different and progressive roles of women. This study is an effort to examine the advertising practice in Pakistan that how it constructs and depicts Pakistani women.

  • Thrive Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way
    THRIVE FINDING HAPPINESS THE BLUE ZONES WAY By Dan Buettner Study Guide by Ken Bingham Preface 1. In his quest toward Finding Happiness The Blue Zones Way, Dan Buettner seeks answers to the following questions: • Which types of governments yield the greatest happiness dividends for citizens? • Which cultural values foster the greatest degree of life satisfaction? • What role does religion play? • How about money? • What’s the optimal mix of communal tradition and individual choice? • What can the world’s happiest peoples tell us about what makes a difference in their lives? (xiii) Before you begin your travels through this Reader’s Guide, lay out your own floor plan as to what will make for a happy life, a happy community. Start by answering the questions listed above for yourself. Be an active participant in the Dan’s search for the secrets of happiness. 2. Jim Harter, the author of Wellbeing: The Five Essential Elements, says that in his research, “we ask people to rate the quality of their overall life today on a 0-10 ladder of life…and what they think it will be in the next five years—to tap into their ‘reflecting’ self” (11). Look at the ratings you gave yourself to question number one above. Now, tap into your own reflecting self. Where do you think you’ll be in the next five years? 3. Buettner reveals that “according to the Gallup organization, ‘thriving’ countries are those whose citizens think positively about their lives and report more happiness, enjoyment, interest, and respect. These countries also report significantly lower rates of health problems, sick days, stress, sadness, and anger” (8).
