20、 and see far.I felt an urge to explore the world and pursue my unknown dreams the moment I was able to climb up the tree growing just by a roll of wall near my house. When no mate played with me, I would climb it and sit on the top to see the scenery outside of the wall. You may ask me what I had se

21、en. Telling you the truth, there was nothing special. Outside of the wall was just a big vast farmland with green plants. Sitting on it, I saw flying birds catching insects, heard the sound of crickets, smelt the breath of greens, enjoyed the scene of seeding and harvesting, and counted the stars at

22、 night. They were quite simple and natural, but I strongly felt there was something unspeakable at that time.

A picture is simple; its right there in front of you, completely unchanged. Words can get lost in translation and tak

27、en out of context, their meaning confusing and misinterpreted. Pictures arent just a mixture of colors printed on paper. They are something that can stir emotions inside of us.There are standard examples of the importance of pictures. According to the Pew Research Center, an Internet user is 7.4 tim

28、es more likely to click on content if a picture is attached to it. Branding and marketing experts carefully use colors and pictures to persuade us to buy certain products.But why are we drawn to these visuals? How do they hold so much power over us?Psychologists explain that pictures help to easily

29、convey four key things: expectation, emotion, motivation and culture. All four obviously hold a significant importance in daily human life.If you put a picture of a boy and his dog in front of you, me and ten other people, that picture will probably mean something different for everyone who sees it.

30、 In that sense, pictures arent just a snapshot for emotional reactions. They are far-reaching reminders of memories both good and bad. They are catalyst for emotional reactions.

Here are some of them.Happy people know life can be hard and tend to live through hard times. They take responsibility for how they got themselves into a mess, and focus on getting themselv

36、es out of it as soon as possible. Unhappy people see themselves as victims of life and stay stuck in the “look what happened to me” attitude instead of finding a way through and out to the other side.Most happy people believe in the good in people instead of thinking everyone is out to get them. Gen

37、erally open and friendly towards people they meet, happy people foster a sense of community around themselves and meet new people with all open heart.
