  • Happiness is a state of mind (trạng thái tinh thần) and the feeling expressed (cảm xúc được thể hiện) when things are going great. It is what we feel when we get our first car, buy our first house or graduate (tốt nghiệp) with the best grades. Happiness should be distinguished (phân biệt) from joy (niềm vui). When joy is a constant state of mind, happiness depends on events (sự kiện) in our lives.

    The opposite (đối ngược) of happiness is sadness which is a state of negativity (sự tiêu cực) in the mindset. When we remain sad for an extended period of time (một khoảng thời gian dài) it can lead to depression (trầm cảm). To avoid this state of mind we must always remind ourselves of happenings (những điều xảy ra) in our lives that make us happy.

    It is important that we find positive things (những điều tích cực) in our daily lives to get excited about and feel the happiness.

    PROS AND CONS OF ADVERTISING

    Advertising is defined as the paid, non-personal form of communication about products or ideas by an identified sponsor through the mass media so as to inform, persuade or influence the behaviour of the target audience.

    Advertising is directed to a large number of people and not to one individual. That is why we call it non-personal. It may inform us about the features of the new iPod or a new smart phone or spell out the need to have a cancer check-up.

    Control

    Relative to other marketing and communication methods, most specifically public relations, advertising messages are largely in the control of the advertisers. When you pay a medium to place your message, you typically have ultimate control over the position, timing and construct of your ad. This allows your business to develop the right messages, and which media best reach the intended audience.

    Flexibility

    As noted, you have a number of media options in delivering advertising. Essentially, any communication channel where multiple people congregate is a possibility. Additionally, you can present messages one time, multiple times or tell a long-running story through an ad campaign. This allows you to evaluate the effectiveness of your ads and make ongoing adjustments. You can also choose between long-term, brand messaging which helps you develop an image for your brand, or short-term promotions to attract immediate traffic and sales.

    Costs

    The most obvious drawback of advertising is the costs. Large companies invest millions of dollars a year in advertising. Television ads are very expensive. Production costs range from $100,000 to $500,000 for national ads, and placement can be as much as $500,000 for a 30-second prime-time spot on national network. Small companies are usually even more limited. Budgets of a few thousand dollars are typical for some small, local companies. This immediately eliminates TV options and leaves companies hunting for inexpensive media such as local newspapers and radio.

    Uncertainty

    Companies have been increasingly concerned with accountability and return on investment in advertising. This is especially true when they hire ad agencies to develop and deliver campaigns. To succeed, companies often spend even more money in market research.

  • Music has a divine power (sức mạnh thần thánh) . It is a great source of entertainment. It binds (gắn kết) people together. It brings back several fond memories (những kỷ niệm đẹp) from the past. Music is loved by the mankind (loài người) and is essential for its well-being (sức khỏe).

    Music is known as the Universal language (ngôn ngữ toàn cầu) because it knows no boundaries (giới hạn). It flows freely beyond the barriers (rào cản) of language, religion (tôn giáo), country, etc. Anybody can enjoy music regardless of his age.

    Music has been one of the main sources of entertainment since the ancient times (thời kỳ xa xưa). During the earlier times, when there were no televisions, internet connection, video games or any other way to keep oneself entertained, music helped people combat boredom (xua tan sự nhàm chán).

    Doctors around the world have started including music therapy (liệu pháp)  as a part of various medical treatments (việc chữa trị y khoa). As a part of this therapy, the patients listen to music. They also compose music, play different musical instruments (nhạc cụ) , dance and chant. Music is indeed a great way to boost (cải thiện) the quality of life.

    Music Helps Combat (đánh bại) Fears (nỗi sợ hãi)

    Each one of us is dealing with some fear or the other. While some are worried about their future others keep stressing about their past events. People also suffer from different kinds of fears such as fear of walking on a busy road, fear of staying home alone, nervousness (sự lo lắng) of attending a social event. While some of these fears are momentary (tạm thời) others are inherent (luôn tồn tại sẵn) and difficult to overcome. Music can help combat fear and make you feel better during situations (hoàn cảnh, tình huống) that make you anxious (lo lắng).
