Older people are happier

TED's talk

*life expectancy- is the expected, in the statistical sense, number of years of life remaining at a given age.

* Life expectancy in Poland is 76 years... Our country is on the 47th place on the World Life Expectancy ranking.
*Life expectancy for men 76 years, and for women 80years.

*fertility rate- avarage number of children that would be born to a woman over her lifetime.

*Fertility rate decreased over last decades in Europe.
*Total fertility rate in Poland is 1.31 children born/woman. Now, the most popular family model is 2+1.

*disavow- to say that you know nothing about sth, or that you have no connection with sth.

*He is trying to disavow the truth that was revealed about him. But nobody is gonna believe him after that.
*Even though she shouldn't be proud of her past- she doesn't disavow it.

*nebulous- not clear and having no form

*My friend has a few nebulous ideas about her future job, but she doesn't know what exactly it is going to be.
*At the beginning it's enough to have only a nebulous idea. Than you can form it.

*complacency- a feeling of calm satisfaction with your own abilities or situation that prevents you from trying harder.

*There is no place for complacency when a person wants to succeed - he/she should want more and more from life!
*A feeling of complacency makes you happier- you are satisfied with your life.
