Q: Above, we've used straight eighth notes for each of the "Hap - py"s in the song that is, eighth notes where each note is played for the same amount of time. However, if you pay attention while you sing the song, you'll probably notice that the eighth notes aren't actually played straight. Rather, they're swung, which means that the first eighth note is a little longer than the second. To play the song more accurately, the "hap" syllable should be played for a little more time and the "py" syllable should be played for a little less time than if you were using straight eighths. In musical terms, we'd say that the first eighth note in each "Hap - py" is a dotted eighth note and the second is a sixteenth note. Try singing the song aloud to yourself again. Odds are, you'll naturally stretch out each "you" and the last syllable of the birthday boy/girl's name. This is a good thing, as it lends the song a little more of an emotional, dramatic quality. If you're not already doing this when you play the song on guitar, try adding it to your playing and it should come easily. In musical terminology, holding a note at the end of a piece or phrase in this way is called a fermata. The notes and chords above don't make up the only way to play "Happy Birthday". In fact, there are several different sets of chords and notes (called "keys") that you can use to play this song. Though a discussion of what exactly a key is is beyond the scope of this article, it's easy to find music for "Happy Birthday" in different keys by using a search engine query like "Happy Birthday guitar keys." For example, here's another way to play "Happy Birthday:" Happy BirthdayHap-py |(G) birth - day to |(D) you. Hap-py | birth - day to |(G) you. Hap-py | birth-day dear |(C) (na-ame). Hap-py |(G) birth - day (D) to |(G) you. In the examples above, we've only used major (happy-sounding) chords. In reality, you can also add chords called 7 chords to this song to give it a slightly more complex, almost bluesy feel. If you want to do this, simply change the chord in the third measure and the second chord in the seventh measure to the 7 version of that chord so that a D becomes a D7, a G becomes a G7, and so on. For example, here is the original chord progression for "Happy Birthday" from the top of this article with 7 chords substituted in: Happy BirthdayHap-py |(C) birth - day to |(G) you. Hap-py |(G7) birth - day to |(C) you. Hap-py | birth-day dear |(F) (na-ame). Hap-py |(C) birth - day (G7) to |(C) you. For reference, a G7 chord is played like this: Open G7High E string: First fret (1)B string: Open (0)G string: Open (0)D string: Open (0)A string: Second fret (2)Low E string: Third fret (3)
A: Swing the "Hap - py" eighth notes. Let each "you" note ring a little longer than normal. Try playing in different keys. Try substituting 7 chords in the third and seventh measures.

Article: Take time for yourself by doing things you enjoy or that make you happy. It can be hard to take time for yourself, especially if you're someone who tends to put other people first. It might also be challenging if you have a life situation such as having small children at home or taking care of someone who is ill. But always remember to "secure your own oxygen mask before assisting others." You are the best caretaker when you are your best self. If music makes you happy, listen to music. If reading books makes you happy, take a little time to read in a calm environment. Go look at a beautiful view, take yourself to a museum, or watch a movie that you enjoy. Stay active doing the things that bring you pleasure. This is a great way to focus on the positive. No one else is watching or judging your review of your day and yourself, so there's no need to worry about seeming arrogant. You don't have to be good at something or please others in order to enjoy it. If you're good at cooking, admit to yourself that you're a talented cook. Likewise, you don't need to be able to charm woodland creatures in order to enjoy singing. Observing moments of satisfaction, pride, contentment or joy in your life and the activities that cause them is a good way to make sure you can repeat them again in the future. You are not like other people, so there's little reason to judge yourself based on other people's standards. You may enjoy things that other people don't enjoy. You are certainly "allowed" to define for yourself what success means for your life. Your view of yourself is very different from your view of other people, just as viewing a Monet painting from one foot away is very different from viewing it from twenty feet away. Realize that the image of someone else that you see may be a contrived image that he or she strives to project. This image may only partially reflect reality. Let go of measuring yourself against other people and basing your self-worth on other people's opinions. This will help you make less subjective inferences about other people's behavior. For example, if you have a negative interaction with a casual acquaintance, don't assume that they don't like you. Rather, assume that there was a miscommunication between the two of you, or that something else is frustrating your acquaintance.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Do things you enjoy. Take time to think about moments of satisfaction. Worry less about others. Avoid comparing yourself to other people.

Q: If you're in an open area, drop flat to the ground to evade gunfire as soon as you hear shots. Try to determine where the shots came from, and move out of the line of fire to the nearest available cover. Look for bushes, a brick wall, a ditch, or any other feature that puts you out of sight. If there's no cover within a two to three second sprint from your location, drop to the ground and crawl to cover. and contact emergency services. Once you've found cover or a relatively secure place, hide there, stay down, and don't move. Don't raise your head or peek out to see what's happening. If you have a cell phone, call emergency services when you believe you can safely do so. If you're hiding inside a car, stay down, as windows obviously offer no protection. If you're using a car as cover from shooting, do your best to get away from the area where the gas/petrol tank is situated, which is usually just ahead of the rear axle. Try to hide behind the engine block by one of the front wheels.
