The Power of Music in Our Life

Do you agree that music is important in our life? Yes I do, music has certain roles completing our
day to day activities. Here are some reasons why music is heard everywhere and anywhere.

Firstly, music is a way to express feelings. When we fall in love, the kind of music we listen to
will be all about love. When we’re sad, we will go for music that is melancholic in nature and
immerse ourselves in the sadness. When we’re happy, we will choose songs with happy tunes
too.

Songs can help to memorize the last experiences. A favorite song is a powerful documentary.
People with Alzheimer or impaired brain would remember details about songs they were
familiar with. For example, an elderly woman who couldn’t even remember her husband’s name
would remember the details of her favorite song; when it was played, how it made her feel and
things about the song that made it especially memorable for her.

Further, music can unite people for a cause and it can also change the world. A song with good
lyrics and striking deep chords can stimulate the universal feeling of all people. We can see it in
the case of the famous and legendary Michael Jackson’s ‘Heal the World’. It can arouse humanism
of a lot of people in this world.

So what will the world be like without music? It will be lonely.

Smoking

Smoking is a bad habit which we must avoid. A lot of people start smoking due to peer pressure,
depression, the need to lose weight, or to relax. For young people, they usually start to smoke
in order to make them feel more relaxed. They think that it is the only way to get through their
problems. Nevertheless, there are so many negative effects of smoking.

Firstly, smoking is not good for our health. It causes lung cancer, yellow teeth or nails, bronchitis,
and other diseases. Secondly, smoking can become very addictive and it kills more people than
car accidents, suicide, murder, and other causes. In addition, mentally, if someone has been
smoking, they can encounter some loss of concentration or balance which can influence their
social life, although the opinion merely comes from the smokers.

From the reason above, we can conclude that smoking is a bad habit that doesn’t give us any
advantages for us.
