Do you think Top Grades/Marks is important or understanding the subject?

urvisimba @urvisimba (31) • India 11 Apr 13

In this world full of competition where every1 is just running to come first in their field is it really so important to achieve the topmost grade and highest score /marks in the class? But if you don't you do not end up with...

Liliac26 In my opinion the two should be intimately connected. I know it's often not like this in real life, but high grades should be given for an (at least) adequate understanding of the subject. If you have to pick between the two, learning is, of course, more...

THESIS Writing

kixsh101 @kixsh101 (2105) • Philippines 3 Apr 13

It Isn't My Skill Anyway

iamsittie @iamsittie (327) • Philippines 30 Mar 13

I really hate article writing since I was in elementary. Even writing poems is not my type. I usually write just to express my thoughts and feelings particularly when I am sad. Also, I only love to write short stories but when it...

Liliac26 Yeah. I hate it as well. I can do creative writing, poetry, reviews, but my favourite thing is diary writing, which of course has no commercial value whatsoever. Articles, not so much. I did write some on psychology and self-improvement, but I don't think they...

To highlight or not?

wittygenie28 @wittygenie28 (92) • Philippines 23 Mar 13

I came from a family who loves to read. We have different interests in reading materials and different techniques as well. We have been discussing the tendency of the women in our family to highlight texts that caught their...

Liliac26 I used to highlight when I studied from a textbook, so when I did revision, I could go back to the important stuff and leave out the unnecessary. But I never highlight when I'm not studying. If a like a passage, I may write it down somewhere or paste it in my...

Urban or Rural Life?

jayceeg1987 @jayceeg1987 (293) • Philippines 23 Mar 13

I love seeing the street lights, faces of different people walking rushing to work, and the food in the city. But I really hate the noise, traffic, pollution that made me love the rural life even more. In the province, I find a...

Liliac26 I'm actually quite torn about this. I love the idea of living in the country (nature, animals, healthy food, no pollution), but when I actually get to be in the country I realise that I can't live without the city (the variation, the anonymity, the comfort,...

Cutie18f @Cutie18f (9546) • Philippines 15 Mar 13

Liliac26 I'm actually obsessive about brushing my teeth, so I'd have probably removed the person in the bathroom by force and locked myself in. My friends make fun of me because of how obsessed I am. If I can't brush my teeth first thing in the morning, I can't eat,...

Writing as a Stress-Buster

AQDGVal2013 @Adval2013 (436) 15 Mar 13

Liliac26 Many employers ask for a diploma, so it's useful in this respect. But if it is too expensive, there are other ways to make it in life, especially if you have the brains and courage. Personally, I'm starting to value informal education more on more. By this I...

reading all the pages of a book or discussion

natliegleb @natliegleb (5175) • India 17 Mar 13

Do you normally read all the pages of a book or discussion to get a clear view and picture of it,or else you will be just skimming through just like that to save time and get a approximate view.Where is the thrill here?

Liliac26 Books I read only for pleasure these days, so I never skim. I like to take in every word if I like the book. If I don't like it after the first few pages, I won't bother with it at all. As for discussion, I must admit that I skim through the replies, but I...

Liliac26 The way I see it, a life can be "rich" in many different ways, not necessarily related to money. A person may surround themselves with interesting people, do fulfilling work, have a loving family and many friends, try many different things--all this without...

Writing in Late Night

belindayhughes @belindayhughes (1096) • United States 16 Feb 13

There are some writers who, for better or worse, are compelled to do their writing at late night. At times, this is simply a necessity of life. We have to work outside jobs to keep a roof over our heads and put food on the table...
