Ø What makes you sad?
Ø Have you ever thought about the things that people do that make you feel happy?
Ø What about the things that people do which depress you?
Ø What things have you done lately that made people happy?
Ø What have you done that let people down?

Count That Day Lost by George Eliot
If you sit down at set of sun
And count the acts that you have done,
And, counting, find
One self-denying deed, one word
That eased the heart of him who heard,
One glance most kind
That fell like sunshine where it went --
Then you may count that day well spent.
But if, through all the livelong day,
You've cheered no heart, by yea or nay --
If, through it all
You've nothing done that you can trace
That brought the sunshine to one face--
No act most small
That helped some soul and nothing cost --
Then count that day as worse than lost.
