Reading books is common to every individual as it became a great

source of knowledge about life and beyond. It shows how good you are
in using your senses, in understanding and comprehending the books
that you are reading. Many individuals who love reading books keep
their books as their wealth or treasure that they are afraid of losing it.
Thus, they want it to hand it down to their next generation with the
hope to save their wealth. However, as the year passes by we don’t
stay still we change and develop. Everything has its own progress and
makes our life easier and one of these changes is converting books
into e-books. E-books are electronic version of a printed book that can
be read on a computer or handled device designed specifically for this
purpose.

In this modern generation, many agree about converting books into e-

books because of its advantages that is truly beneficial and
accommodating. First is that e-books take up less space. Instead of a bulky
library, you can fit thousands of books on your computer. It also makes easier to
share this information with family and classmates. Second is that e-books are
more easily updated and upgraded. Information changes rapidly today. Books on
many subjects can become dated very quickly. E-books can be easily and quickly
kept up to date. When you order the e-book, it can be the most up-to-the-minute
information available. Third is that e-books are quicker to obtain. If you want
specific information and it’s available in a book, you can purchase an e-book and
download it immediately. Instead of waiting for a printed book to be delivered,
you can assess this information right away. Forth is that references can be hot-
linked. Easy links to Web sites and other references can be placed in an
electronic book. While reading, you can click on hot links to other places to find
out more information. And the fifth advantage is that e-books are eco-friendly. No
trees have to be sacrificed in order to make an e-book and once one is created
you can make potentially infinite number of copies by downloading or sharing via
bluetooth, share it and others.

Actually, there are several advantages this e-book could guarantee to us and
made us realize that it is far better than books. In my experience, e- books are
really useful in my studies especially I belong to the 21 st century learners. Like, I
don’t bring heavy books anymore as it only an addition tho the heaviness of my
backpack and also burdens my shoulder. I am not worried anymore if I didn’t
catch up our lessons in school since our teacher can share their files to their
students. I can make my own library in my phone which I think an asset of e-
books because by this, I can avoid the old scent and dusty books in the library
which made my nose itchy. And most of all I can save money from my daily
allowance since I can download several files or books in my phone and within a
split of time I can study already.

Therefore, as a 21st-century learner, I strongly believe that books should be

replaced with e-books because it is not designed to harm us but to help to make
our life easier and better. E-books are designed for us to to enhance our skills in
reading moreover we can acquire more knowledge and we can use this in
everyday life. Though it has disadvantages but like a disease its how you deal
and cure it. Disadvantages is not a thing to worry about because right now
everything has cure and it's on us how we adapt these changes.

Happiness is a state of well-being that encompasses living a good life

with a sense of meaning and deep satisfaction. It is not measurable nor
profitable yet it is what people seek. It is intangible as water and air.
Charles Spurgeon said that it is not how much we have, but how much
we enjoy that makes happiness. By this,we can comprehend that there
are different sources of happiness and one of these are material and
spiritual happiness. Material happiness is the feeling of satisfaction
with the thins that we have while spiritual happiness is the feeling of
contentment with God. But what really makes it different when both
can give happiness?

There are some factors that make this sources of happiness differ from each
other. First is special. All living beings seek pleasure through the basic bodily
activities like eating, sleeping, and showing of strength. However, we humans
alone have the special privilege of access to spiritual happiness. Only if we
humans have the developed consciousness to connect our spiritual essence,
which is our soul, with our spiritual source, who is God. Second is the increasing
nature of spiritual happiness and the decreasing nature of material happiness.
The more we relish spiritual happiness, the more our devotional connection with
God, who is the source of all happiness, strengthens and consequently the more
spiritual happiness increases. However, the more a person indulges in any form
of material happiness the more the bodily capacity to decrease, just as a water-
filled sponge losing its water-emitting capacity with every squeeze. The third is
the state of being dependent. All material pleasures depend on something
external to us like a bank balance or a good looking partner. As these external
factors are not in our control, the hopes for material happiness makes us
helplessly and became dependent on these externals. Spiritual happiness
depends only on God, who is always present within our hearts and on our
capacity to connect with Him, which does not necessarily depend on any
externals. Finally, the goodness it showered upon us. As material resources are
scarce, the more we use the resources for our material satisfaction and the more
we deprive others of their quota of material enjoyment. However, when we seek
spiritual happiness by connecting with God, we do not deplete anyone else quota
of happiness because the source of spiritual happiness is unlimited.

Therefore these sources of happiness differ in several factors but similarly can
give happiness and for me, I can find my own happiness in spiritual factor. In my
17 years of existence, I’ve been trough a lot of challenges in life like family
problem, financial, personal and student problem. Despite of these problem I still
find myself happy and contented because I know that behind these challenges
there is God who is ready to back up and save me when I stumble down. I am
satisfied of my decisions in every problem I take. God give me an opportunitunity
to have another father and daughter relationship with Him and let me experience
such happiness that is unexplainable. And I know with Him I can experience more
happiness and excitement my journey in life. However, in choosing which of
these sources of happiness depends upon ourselves. Being happy with God and
in what we have is a decision that has to be consciously made. It is important to
find our happiness in life for us to experience the beauty and importance of our
life in this world. Therefore, we need to find our own happiness we deserve and
worth to live for a lifetime and even forever.

is real. It is really something serious problem as it

Climate change
changes very rapidly and differently. Most people don’t really
understand what it really is and what causes it. Climate
change is the seasonal changes for a long period of time in
the world. These climate patterns play an important role in
shaping natural ecosystems, and the human economies and
cultures that depend on them. Climate change may refer to
a change in average weather conditions, or in the time
variation of weather around longer-term average
conditions.CLIMATE change occur because of some factors
that has a great impact into this phenomenon and along with
this, there effects that are inevitable.

For several years, climate change became one of the problems that the
world keep on fighting for. This is because of the factors like
deforestation, volcanic eruption and pollution. Deforestation is the
cutting down of trees from an area with no intention of establishing a
future stand of trees. Because of this, many animals loss their habitat,
floods became inevitable as well as a landslide.Next is volcanic
eruption which occurs when hot materials are thrown out of a
volcano.Some eruptions are terrible explosions that throw out huge
amounts of rock and ash that resulted in a massive mudflow, earthquakes
and the gases which are released into the air include carbon monoxide,
carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and others that are harmful to the ozone
layer. Lastly is pollution that happens when the environment is
contaminated, or dirtied, by waste, chemicals, and other harmful
substances. There are three pollution like pollution in the air, water,
and land. This pollution resulted to diseases, acid rains, and holes of
the ozone layer. This effects didn't choose people who are going to be
affected but everyone. And these effects are serious and dangerous
because all of it would lead to death.

THEREFORE Climate change is not that easy as the process

of it. It might pleasurable to make but destructive to dealt.
The climate is a very important thing and if we don’t stop the
changes soon, more and more plants and trees are going to
die, we won’t have enough food and then not only a nation
suffer from hunger but the whole world. It is really a serious
problem that needs solution not coming from an organization
nor a nation rather a whole world cooperation. Because if we
stop the changes, we are going to be healthier and
everything around us will be cleaner and it will be how it
actually should be. I believe by this, the harmony between
nature and human beings will return.
Nowadays teenage pregnancy is not new to us moreover as
the years passed by the number of teenager who are
pregnant increases. Teenage Pregnancy is a pregnancy by a
female, age 13 to 19, which is understood to occur in a girl
who hasn’t completed her core education has few or no
marketable skills, is financially dependent upon her parents
or continues to live at home and is mentally immature. But
what are the cause and effect of this increasing teenage
pregnancy?

There are many factors that affect this increasing teenage

pregnancy and one of these are peer pressure, absent
parents and sexual abuse. Peer Pressure because during
adolescence, teenagers often feel pressure to make friends
and fit in with their peers. Many times these teens let their
friends influence their decision to have sex as a way to
appear cool and sophisticated, but in some cases the end
result is an unplanned teen pregnancy. Absent parents would
also cause of teen pregnancy as teens have limited or no
guidance from them. When a teen does not feel that she can
talk to her parents about sex either because they forbid sex
talk or because they are not around, she will more than likely
turn to friends for suggestion on whether or not to have sex,
resulting in misinformation and possible teen pregnancy.
Finally sexual abuse or rape. Teens can become pregnant as
a result of sexual abuse or rape.
Law of inertia states that in every action there’s always an
reaction. In line with this law, teenage pregnancy also have
reactions in both mother and child. One of these are
emotional crisis, illiteracy and lack of financial support. First
is emotional crisis. After getting pregnancy at an early age,
the teen mother may suffer from huge emotional crisis due
to lack of social support from family.Severe emotional and
mental breakdown triggers the onset of evil behavior like
suicide attempts or attempting to self-abort the baby.
Second is lack of financial support.A teen mother who does
not get proper financial support from her parents or friends
has to face a severe financial problem. She has to face
difficulty to buy basic items for her newborn baby like
clothing and baby care products. And lastly illiteracy. The
education of the teen mother remains on hold during
pregnancy, and some teens even decide to drop out of their
high school and find a job to support themselves.

Teenage pregnancy is not that easy as the process of it. It

might pleasurable to make but destructive to dealt. Hence
every teenager must know how to prevent and control the
temptations, knowledgeable about the consequences in
indulging this kind of activities and also must be guided in
every action and decision we make. We must have a goal to
change the world and not change diapers the diapers of our
babies in this world. However, we should not also judge or
criticize them because we do not know the reason behind
their situation instead we should help them lift back their
life.
