MJ_Dakota Actually, breakfast is one of the hardest meals for me to eat. It is not the food, it is the time. For as long as I can remember, eating before 10am has made me feel nauseated and tired. Even as a kid I had difficulty eating in the mornings. If I'm hungry and...

Will a poor guy gets his woman?

asxenon @asxenon (1440) • Malaysia 14 Aug 10

Usually it is the rich who will get to be with whoever woman he liked. No matter how old/ugly he may look, there are still many pretty girls queuing up to be his girl. In the contrary, will a poor guy gets his woman? Most women...

MJ_Dakota Attitude and vibes... May sound funny, but if you believe you are a poor guy, you will send out the vibes of "oh poor me". Even when speaking monetary riches versus personal riches, it will come across as "poor". The first thing is to stop thinking that...

MJ_Dakota Currently I am in a situation where I offered help to someone and now that person is dictating how, when and what I need to do for them. On top of that, when the outcome is not what they wanted, I am told that I am not helping or not doing enough. What am I...

Dating younger men

needcash @needcash (3) • United States 8 Jan 10

I am 41 years young and became single again after a 6 year relationship. Lately all I have attracted is younger men. Some as young as 22. While I enjoy the attention, I just think it's wrong to date someone that young. I don't...

MJ_Dakota Age is a number of years that a person has been on this planet, it does not indicate a maturity level in emotion. I have had a 12 year relationship with one man who was 15 years older than me and a 7 year relationship with a man who is 3 years younger than me....

How to the angryness suddenly...?

How to the angryness suddenly...? Is there any way to keep control of it..?

2 responses

MJ_Dakota Well, the first and foremost is the person who angers quickly needs to want to change this aspect of themself. Second, they need to be willing to look at themselves and find "what" triggers the outbursts, then look at the triggers to find the root of the...

MJ_Dakota LOL, it is fun to confuse with logic sometimes, but to know logic and use it to make the capable incapable is not nice. I do enjoy a challenge of the mind though!

What is important in choosing career job?

ghieptc @ghieptc (2522) • Philippines 1 Jan 10

When I finished my college degree I was very excited to get a job immediately to earn my own money. During my first year of job hunting I've been from one company to another. I worked in 6 simultaneous companies in my first year....

MJ_Dakota I have worked many jobs in my life, but the one thing I found is that if the ethics of the company or co-workers did not correspond with mine, the job became difficult to appreciate. I'm more of a humanitarian and people person than a bottom dollar line...

MJ_Dakota Good day and New Year hopes and dreams to you. For me, the New Year is a year of re-birth. 2009 was full of many challenges and self lessons that although everyday brings more, 2010 feels very bountiful in bringing more "life" than more grief. I do make plans,...

Does being poor mean a better life?

TLChimes @TLChimes (4822) • United States 1 Jan 10

I have watched as American rich folks who thought they had it all, fight to survive on lower or no income, losing their homes, and fighting just to stay on an even path. They thought that going to work each day at a high paying...

MJ_Dakota I personally know "rich" people, but definately am not one of them, monetarily. As some have stated, it is all in the attitude, not the dollar amount that makes one rich and happy or rich and unhappy. Coping skills are tougher on "some" of the rich. The ones...

Do you always crayon within the lines?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 22 Dec 09

This could be taken as literal as actually coloring a picture book; or the philosophical way as in life. Last night my 3 year old had in his hand his box of crayons and his coloring book. It was a color-by-numbers page that he...

MJ_Dakota I would like to write a resounding "yes", but unforntunately, some rules are just so absurb to me as well as a bit "nit-picky" that at times I find myself outside the lines. In coloring, sometimes we can create a beautiful picture by lightly passing the lines...

MJ_Dakota Frankly, whatever Tiger Woods does with his life and career is his choice. He will be rewarded, with love or grief for whatever he chooses. If people would stop putting others on pedestals this type of "moral catastrophy" would not be such a media circus. With...
