Coyne. The article begins with Coyne at a stop light in his car during a cold and windy day. While
waiting for the light to turn green, Coyne notices two people at a bus stop huddled together to keep
warm. Coyne noticed that they were laughing. At first, he had sympathy for the two people because
they had to be out in the cold, but once he saw that they were enjoying each others company, he sort
of became jealous wishing he had somebody with him to have a moment just like the couple outside.
He then realized that we all have the ability to choose happiness no matter what situation you may be
in. Coyne then goes back and reminisces's upon his time working at Long John Silver's. It was an
easy job, but he felt like he was going nowhere in life. During his time working there, the restaurant
was robbed. Coyne didn't let this event bring him down. Coyne believes everybody is capable of
being happy with the life they are living.
I really enjoyed reading this article, It's a nice reminder that we all have the ability to choose
happiness over sadness. Often times, we as people often forget how lucky we really are. Sometimes,
we get sad and disappointed because we can't get that brand new phone that everybody is getting or
we can't get a brand new car to drive. There are people living on the streets in the cold and still have
a smile on their face because they're happy that they're alive. We can't live our lives living in sadness
or anger. Nobody wants to be remembered as the grumpy person that they're friends and family
knew. They say life is short, but I believe it's the longest thing all of us have to go through. We need
to make sure that with this long life that we are living, we go through it with a smile on our face.
