Happy Helpful Notes TED Talk

Have you ever felt sad and needed someone to show you that you matter?I’ve felt that many times and no one tried or even knew I was sad. For the passion project I want to make people happier than they were before. I want to show them that there’s someone that notices them. What i did was go to my classes and had given out sticky notes to either everyone in my class or people that looked like they needed to smile. I then interviewed some of them and asked them “How do you feel after being given a sticky note?” I learned that many people are happy when receiving something inspirational and something that’s meant for them. I learned that everyone is struggling with being happy and sometimes all they need is someone to go out of their way to do something nice.

The reasons people aren’t happy is because of stress, anger, sadness, anxiety, and depression to name a few.People can get all of these feelings because of people , work, school, family life, and their mental states.When people are struggling to be happy sometimes they want to be left alone and don’t talk about it with happy helpful notes you can receive a bit of inspiration without dealing with someone wanting to make you talk about what’s wrong when you want to. It’s a way to see someone cares about you when you think no one does because they went out of their way to give you something that can you happier.

Some people will go out of their to make sure your not happy.Those people are labeled bullies and are mean but they are struggling in ways we don’t always know. Family life, people bullying them before, mental chemistry, depression, and anger problems can make someone be a bully for no reason. Because people stay away from them and they think no one cares about them.Someone going out of their way can make them realize that you don’t have to make everyone feel bad you can make people happy instead. You can change someone’s mood with just a few kind words and random acts of kindness. Sometimes the best way to show someone cares is by being anonymous. Letting them know anyone could care that it isn’t just one person it could be multiple people. That you should always be nice to people.

When one person goes out of their way to make you feel happiness you want to spread it around. Others will want to take that away from you but should keep being happy and spreading it to them. People labeled bullies have problems of their own that can get in the way of having friends. Showing them that someone cares can help them be nicer to others. Anyone can be mean when undergoing certain situations. And anyone can feel stress, depression, anxiety, sadness, and anger. Always spread positivity and try to better yourself and others. No one deserves to feel like no one cares go out of your way to help someone and someday they can go out of their way to make you and others feel better.

What I learned Through Happy Helpful Notes

What I learned from this project was that it’s better to give everyone happiness then to ever take it away. When you see someone thats sad many ignore them and judge. With my project I didn’t just focus on people that were sad anyone that was in my classes got an inspirational sticky note. They could be happy , sad , mad, and stressed and still would get one. Doing it anonymously no one knew who did it unless you got interviewed my question was how did you feel when finding the sticky note? When people answered they said it made them happy and they felt inspired. If I knew what they were going through I did give them a sticky note that can relate to their problem. Everyone has some problems sometimes they show it other times they hide it so no one feels bad for them. I do it to but every little bit of happiness you can spread is helpful. Spreading Happy helpful notes can change someone’s day from a bad day to an amazing. So be helpful, be happy, and spread it ’round.
