Ok, my curiosity has been satisfied. You just have much more music/art in general in schools. In Europe kids have some basic drawing and music lessons, but not enough to actually teach anyone how to properly play an instrument. Also marching/school bands are a thing. We don't have those.

You mean it like going to the gym or having a haircut? Or maybe washing your teeth?

My pet peeve: people who boldly demand to be honest with them and claiming that they can handle it, but when faced with honest opinion, they do anything except handling it. Rage, tears, blaming everyone else, including the person giving honest opinion. That's what happens after any critical statement directed at them. Usually, if you have to demand honesty from others, that means you have already proven to them that you can't handle it.

Good to know

@Kaymyth ok, but this correlation is not present in Europe. I wonder why

Once again I'm under impression that every American can play at least one instrument o.O its a much less common skill here in Europe in my opinion.

I have an alternative opinion. Maybe not 100% accurate, but I believe is important to take it under consideration. You can't make someone happy. You can offer help with resolving someones issues and encourage that person to fight for their happiness, but in the end, if there is no outside source of grief and unfortune, we're as happy as we let ourselves to be. You won't be happy if you don't believe you deserve happiness. I think that's a problem with many people, they don't think they deserve to be happy. Another thing is, before you start working on making others happy, make sure that you're content with yourself and how happy you are. It's really soul crushing when you do your best to help someone and then you have to face your problems alone. Achieving personal happiness will also allow you to help others better. Back to my main point. Even giving someone 1 million dollars won't do much if that person doesn't believe they deserve happiness. I've read a study about happiness, and in that research they claimed (supported by couple interviews iirc) that winning a large amount of money doesn't affect persons happiness in long term. After couple of weeks winners rate their happiness just like they did before the win. So, you can increase someone's happiness by helping them with a direct cause of problems/grief/etc., but if there is no apparent reason for being unhappy, your can only help them help themselves. Guide them to happiness, not carry them. And first of all, take care of yourself first (if you need to).

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles so you don't like the outcome of your plastic surgery? Go and operate on your face yourself then and see how easy it is... You don't like the signal quality of our satelite TV? User your own satellites next time That's just some funny logic, but it's fun to think of examples like that

Buy me the tickets and give me a visa to USA and I'll meet you there

@Slowswifthow about improvisation?

@TwiLyghtSansSparkles I think more than 90% of people on earth are in a situation where couple of bigger expenses at once would ruin their financial situation. I'm in this situation for years now and just now I'm slowly starting to have some money saved just in case. Take every obstacle one by one and you'll be fine.

Here, have a DragonBall Z inspirational video: Generally motivational videos on YouTube help me when I'm down, maybe give them a try

Take your phone with you, eat a sandwich while taking a shower and browse the Shard at the same time! You can do it! just put your phone in a plastic bag or something
