What is your definition of happiness?

Here we go the definition of Aristole about happiness:

"...the function of man is to live a certain kind of life, and this activity implies a rational principle, and the function of a good man is the good and noble performance of these, and if any action is well performed it is performed in accord with the appropriate excellence: if this is the case, then happiness turns out to be an activity of the soul in accordance with virtue."

Most of us are often conceived of happiness as a subjective state of mind, as when one says one is happy when one is enjoying a cool beer on a hot day, or is out “having fun” with one’s friends. It is easy enough to see that we desire money, pleasure, and honor only because we believe that these goods will make us happy.

For Aristotle, however, happiness is a final end or goal that encompasses the totality of one’s life. It is not something that can be gained or lost in a few hours, like pleasurable sensations. It is more like the ultimate value of your life as lived up to this moment, measuring how well you have lived up to your full potential as a human being.

Please check these paragraphs for me! The design of any spillway structure is limited to the hydro calculation of spillways depending on uniform or non-uniform flow regime. Without considering the issues of aeration and preserving the stability due to the rapid flow could reduce the reliability of hydraulic structures. The purpose of my research was forecasting the stability of rapid aerated flow in the construction of an open spillway, identifying the possible formation of rolling waves on the chute rapids, because having those waves could make it difficult to operate the construction. My research was presented at the international scientific conference at SPBSTU in November 2013 and later published in the magazine “The ecological state of the environment, scientific and practical aspects of modern hydraulic technologies”.

Please check these paragraphs for me! Please pay attention on grammar, terminologies choices, sentence structures. However, what distinguishes me from my classmates is neither my high distinctive GPA nor exceptional rank, but my research experiences. Excelling in those fundamental courses gave me full preparation for scientific research. I started my first research when I was a junior student under the instruction of Professor Lavrov Nikolai. P. My research topic was based on the unsteady flow of spillway hydro energy hydro in the hydro power plant Dam’bri, Vietnam. The design of any spillway structure is limited to the hydro calculation of spillways depending on uniform or non-uniform flow regime. Without considering the issues of aeration and preserving the stability due to the rapid flow could reduce the reliability of hydraulic structures. The purpose of my research was forecasting the stability of rapid aerated flow in the construction of an open spillway, identifying the possible formation of rolling waves on the chute rapids, because having those waves could make it difficult to operate the construction. My research was presented at the international scientific conference at SPBSTU in November 2013 and later published in the magazine “The ecological state of the environment, scientific and practical aspects of modern hydraulic technologies”. Presently I am writing my bachelor thesis under the supervision of Professor Bukhartsev Vladimir N. and my task is designing a complex dam for a river located in the south of Russia. My thesis focuses on designing a low-head spillway as a part of a hydroelectric concrete dam. As one of the most important part when come to designing a dam, designing the spillway conducted through several steps such as choosing the width of the spillway’s front, the thickness of the downstream apron, the thickness of the bottom plate and examination its stability, or examining the possible formation of rolling waves as on my first research. The spillway includes hydroelectric channel type and a single chamber gateway. When finishing my bachelor thesis, in the design of the structure should provide for interconnecting dams (embankment dam and concrete dam), channel cleaning and water regulatory structures. Despite the fact that I have obstacles such as time limits, I believe with hard work, dedication, collaboration and perseverance along with assistance and teamwork from my colleagues and my supervisor, the task will be completed successfully before deadline.
