Buy Experiences, Not Things
Live in anticipation, gathering stories and
memories. New research builds on the vogue mantra of
behavioral economics.
Forty-seven percent of the time, the average
mind is wandering. It wanders about a third of the time
while a person is reading, talking with other people, or
taking care of children. It wanders 10 percent of the
time, even, during sex. And that wandering, according
to psychologist Matthew Killingsworth, is not good for
well-being. A mind belongs in one place. During his
training at Harvard, Killingsworth compiled those
numbers and built a scientific case for every cliché
about living in the moment. In a 2010 Science paper co-
authored with psychology professor Daniel Gilbert, the
two wrote that "a wandering mind is an unhappy mind."
For Killingsworth, happiness is in the content of
moment-to-moment experiences. Nothing material is
intrinsically valuable, except in whatever promise of
happiness it carries. Satisfaction in owning a thing does
not have to come during the moment it's acquired, of
course. It can come as anticipation or nostalgic longing.
Overall, though, the achievement of the human brain to
contemplate events past and future at great, tedious
length has, these psychologists believe, come at the
expense of happiness. Minds tend to wander to dark,
not whimsical, places. Unless that mind has something
exciting to anticipate or sweet to remember.
Over the past decade, an abundance of
psychology research has shown that experiences bring
people more happiness than do possessions. The idea
that experiential purchases are more satisfying than
material purchases has long been the domain of Cornell
psychology professor Thomas Gilovich. Since 2003, he
has been trying to figure out exactly how and why
experiential purchases are so much better than material
purchases. In the journal Psychological Science last
month, Gilovich and Killingsworth, along with Cornell
doctoral candidate Amit Kumar, expanded on the
current understanding that spending money on
experiences "provide[s] more enduring happiness."
They looked specifically at anticipation as a driver of
that happiness; whether the benefit of spending money
on an experience accrues before the purchase has
been made, in addition to after. And, yes, it does.
Essentially, when you can't live in a moment,
they say, it's best to live in anticipation of an experience.
Experiential purchases like trips, concerts, movies, et
cetera, tend to trump material purchases because the
utility of buying anything really starts accruing before
you buy it.
Waiting for an experience apparently elicits
more happiness and excitement than waiting for a
material good (and more "pleasantness" too—an eerie
metric). By contrast, waiting for a possession is more
likely fraught with impatience than anticipation. "You
The BREEZE
can think about waiting for a delicious meal at a nice
restaurant or looking forward to a vacation," Kumar
told me, "and how different that feels from waiting
for, say, your pre-ordered iPhone to arrive. Or when
the two-day shipping on Amazon Prime doesn’t
seem fast enough."
Gilovich's prior work has shown that
experiences tend to make people happier because
they are less likely to measure the value of their
experiences by comparing them to those of others.
For example, Gilbert and company note in their new
paper, many people are unsure if they would rather
have a high salary that is lower than that of their
peers, or a lower salary that is higher than that of
their peers. With an experiential good like vacation,
that dilemma doesn't hold. Would you rather have
two weeks of vacation when your peers only get
one? Or four weeks when your peers get eight?
People choose four weeks with little hesitation.
Experiential purchases are also more
associated with identity, connection, and social
behavior. Looking back on purchases made,
experiences make people happier than do
possessions. It's kind of counter to the logic that if
you pay for an experience, like a vacation, it will be
over and gone; but if you buy a tangible thing, a
couch, at least you'll have it for a long time. Actually
most of us have a pretty intense capacity for
tolerance, or hedonic adaptation, where we stop
appreciating things to which we're constantly
exposed. iPhones, clothes, couches, et cetera, just
become background. They deteriorate or become
obsolete. It's the fleetingness of experiential
purchases that endears us to them. Either they're
not around long enough to become imperfect, or
they are imperfect, but our memories and stories of
them get sweet with time. Even a bad experience
becomes a good story.
When it rains through a beach vacation, as
Kumar put it, "People will say, well, you know, we
stayed in and we played board games and it was a
great family bonding experience or something."
Even if it was negative in the moment, it becomes
positive after the fact. That's a lot harder to do with
material purchases because they're right there in
front of you. "When my Macbook has the colorful
pinwheel show up," he said, "I can't say, well, at
least my computer is malfunctioning!"
"At least my computer and I get to spend
more time together because it's working so slowly," I
offered.
"Yes, exactly."
"Maybe we should destroy our material
 The BREEZE
possessions at their peak, so they will live on in an
idealized state in our memories?"
"I don't know if I'd go that far," he said. "The
possibility of making material purchases more
experiential is sort of interesting."
That means making purchasing an experience,
which is terrible marketing-speak, but in practical terms
might mean buying something on a special occasion or
on vacation or while wearing a truly unique hat. Or tying
that purchase to subsequent social interaction. Buy this
and you can talk about buying it, and people will talk
about you because you have it.
"Turns out people don't like hearing about other
people's possessions very much," Kumar said, "but they
do like hearing about that time you saw Vampire
Weekend."
I can't imagine ever wanting to hear about
someone seeing Vampire Weekend, but I get the point.
Page 3
Reasonable people are just more likely to talk about
their experiential purchases than their material
purchases. It's a nidus for social connection. ("What
did you do this weekend?" "Well! I'm so glad you
asked ... ")
The most interesting part of the new
research, to Kumar, was the part that "implies that
there might be notable real-world consequences to
this study." It involved analysis of news stories about
people waiting in long lines to make a consumer
transaction. Those waiting for experiences were in
better moods than those waiting for material goods.
"You read these stories about people rioting,
pepper-spraying, treating each other badly when
they have to wait," he said. It turns out, those sorts
of stories are much more likely to occur when
people are waiting to acquire a possession than an
experience. When people are waiting to get concert
tickets or in line at a new food truck, their moods
tend to be much more positive.

How Internet Affects Life
Nowadays, the use of Internet
is increasing especially among
adolescence or more accurately,
students. The Internet issue is
discussed by the adults and parents.
Most of them are worried that the use
of Internet is dangerous to their kids.
Some others said that Internet may
bring benefits to their children
especially to those who will be sitting
for an examination.
On my opinion, Internet has
both benefits and drawbacks. First of
all, let me talk about the benefits
first. As we know, Internet is mostly
used by students. By surfing internet,
students can visit various websites to
assist their studies. The examples of
popular websites are tutortv.com ,
unicliq.com , and tutor.com.my. They
can visit the websites and revise their
studies in more exciting way. Some
of them are free. Students can visit it
anytime they want. The websites also
provide useful notes and exercises.
At the same time, students can get
additional information that they
cannot find it in books. For instance,
they can go to 'Google' or 'Yahoo'
search engines to search for more
ideas to write an essay. In short,
Internet provides vast information and
knowledge which is very beneficial for
the students.
Next, Internet also provides
lots of social networks such as
Facebook , Twitter, MySpace and
many other. Through these social
networks, we can add more friends
and make new friends. We can also
know friends from other country as
these social networks are used
internationally. Other than adding
friends, we can also strengthen our
relationship with our friends and
family who are staying far away from
us using Skype. We can see them in
front of our eyes even though they
are actually far away from us through
web camera.
Besides, Internet also offers
entertainment. We can watch videos
of our favourite artists by just one
click through 'Youtube' website. We
can also watch favourite movies
without paying. Plus, there are many
artists born from 'Youtube'. So, fans
can know more about the artists from
Youtube. Meanwhile, 4shared.com
provides tracks, videos and files that
can be downloaded for free! Internet
The BREEZE
users can enjoy themselves at anytime
watching their favourite artists'
performance for free.
Internet does not only offers
benefits for students but also to those
who want to gain more money. It also
provides business opportunities.
However, as I said earlier,
Internet also brings bad effects to its
users. Firstly, it can encourage cyber
crimes. Besides that, students who
spend too much time on Internet may
neglect their studies and do not finish
their homework. This should be
avoided as studies are important
especially to teenagers.
Although Internet can add more
friends to our list, yet, it still can
develop anti-social behaviour. Not all
of the users use Internet to make
friends, some of them only play video
games or just sit down watching videos
on Youtube. They will only sit and
ignore what is happening around them.
The worst thing is, they may not realise
that there is an earthquake out there!
This anti-social behaviour may leads to
health problems. The users will just
stay at home and sit in front of
computer and this will cause them to
be lazy couch potatoes. It will also lead
to obesity.
Next, most students will not
attracted to surf knowledgeable
websites, but wasting their time on
other non-beneficial things. Wasting
time on Internet can cause students to
neglect their studies. Not only time is
wasted but also money. With the uses
of more electricity non-stop, utility bills
may increase dramatically. We just not
pay for the electric bills but also
internet monthly bills.
The conclusion is, everything has
its own benefits and drawbacks.
However, it depends on how we are
using it. If we spend more time using it
for benefits, we will get positive effects.
But if we use it more to non-beneficial
things, we will get negative effects. So,
it depends on you.

Student Life is Golden Life

It is said that ―student life is golden life,‖ because student life is the most important part of human life. It is the period of
pure joy and happiness, because the mind of a student is free from cares and worries of a grown-up life.

In this period, the character of man is built. So, it is called the formative period of human life. Every student should try
his best to make the best use of his student life.
The primary duty of a student is to learn and to acquire knowledge. He must do all his work at the right moment and maintain
punctuality and discipline. He must remember that if a student becomes successful in his student career and his character is built
on a sound basic, he will be able to shine in any sphere of life and serve his society and countries.

A student should spend most of his time of this golden period in reading and learning. A good student never waste his
time fixed for reading uselessly. But he must not be a book-worm being always engaged in his studies. He should also be careful
about his health and spend some time daily in some sports and games. He should try to develop his body and mind at the same
time.

As a student he must try to develop his intellect. He should also try to acquire some good qualities like obedience,
dutifulness, respect on elders and love and sympathy for fellow man in the society. The duty of a student is to obey his parents
and teachers and respect the elders of the society.

Students are the future hope of country. So every student should try to be the best citizen in all respect, so that he may
serve his country as far as he can.

Childhood hypertension associated with cognitive issues
Hypertension, more
commonly known as high blood
pressure, has increased
significantly in children,
paralleling the current childhood
obesity epidemic. Although we
know that adult hypertension can
affect the brain, little research has
been done on the cognitive
effects of childhood hypertension.
In a new study scheduled for
publication in The Journal of
Pediatrics, researchers found that
hypertension is associated with
cognitive issues in children and
adolescents.
Marc B. Lande, MD,
MPH, and researchers from the
University of Rochester, Emory
University, Maimonides Medical
Center, University of Texas at
Houston, University of North

Education Secretary Leonor
Briones has urged schools nationwide to
support the Department of Health’s anti-
Zika campaign and take steps to lower the
chances of students getting infected.
In a memorandum, Briones said, ―In the
face of alarming developments, the
Department of Education (DepEd) deems it
urgent to address the Zika virus infection
through the dissemination of information
and coordination with health authorities for
vector control measures in and around
schools.‖
Briones reiterated a 2009 DepEd
memorandum on ―preventing dengue H
(hemorrhagic) fever in schools‖ and other
previous issuances ―to protect the school
populace from the day bites of the Aedes
aegypti mosquito which proliferates at a
fast rate during the rainy days.‖

all school officials to mobilize all personnel
to spread information on the prevention
and control of mosquito-borne illnesses.

The Powerful Teacher

“I’ve come to a frightening

conclusion that I am the decisive
element in the classroom. It’s my
personal approach that creates the
climate. It’s my daily mood that
makes the weather. As a teacher, I
possess a tremendous power to make
a child’s life miserable or joyous. I can
be a tool of torture or an instrument of
inspiration. I can humiliate or humor,
hurt or heal. In all situations it is my
response that decides whether a crisis
will be escalated or de-escalated and
a child humanized or de-humanized.”
