Stress, Health, and Coping

Today I made a presentation in my psychology class with my group.

We introduced the topic, “Stress, Health, and Coping”.

And we use a famous movie as a good example.

It is called “the pursuit of happiness”.

I think it is really touching. And it derives from a true story.

A man who lost his job and become very poor worked very hard to raise his son by himself.

His wife left them because she couldn’t tolerate poverty.

The man didn’t give up. He tried very hard on his new job.

He wanted to be a rich and successful stock business' salesman.

In the end, he did a really great job.

He owned a big stock company and became a very rich man.

I love this movie because the man is really brave.

He encouraged me not to give up even if I am in a bad situation.

If I work hard, I can still have chance to pursue my happiness successfully.

And the story teaches me that stress can not only be a pressure but also a motivation. Stress is not always bad. It has some good function.

The most important is that we should learn how to cope up with stress.

And the movie is a really good example that we should learn from the man’s wit.
