BurnBright Shouting at kids isn't a nice thing to do. At the very least talking is better. That's when you as a parent are able to explain things better by talking it out so that the child can understand why certain behaviors are intolerable. But as humans we tend to...

BurnBright Why not. A dose of the Bible can be a good thing for both believers and non-believers. Some people are so use to seeing believers who preach the Bible that they don't even notice them nor want to. If its an interesting speaker I will listen. I thirst for the...

Is this TRUE? never make friends with your colleagues !

magic9 @magic9 (980) • China 18 Oct 09

I used to try hard to make friends with my ex-colleagues. But what I actually found was that it was useless because it was not one individual's issue, two or more people's willingness must be involved. I used to be a top worker in...

BurnBright Making friends with colleagues is tricky. I find that most of those I see sticking together are the ones talking about people. I try my damnest by staying away and not get mixed in that type of crowd. I may say hi to about 3 out of 7 of them but that's it....

BurnBright I know if I became well off suddenly I wouldn't want to return back to being poor. It's just that living by paycheck to paycheck is a hassle and a struggle. But that won't mean I wouldn't remember where I came from, money couldn't change my roots. Acquiring...

BurnBright I think women are more prone to mental illness compared to men because I think women are more sensitive and empathetic. In my own personal opinion, men don't dwell on the details of their high emotions that aspect tends to flood in a lot women. But it doesn't...

BurnBright When you give the silent treatment to someone who's hurting you hold more weight in power because it shows you're not falling for stupidity or the need to cave in. Plus, it allows enough time for the person to backtrack what they said and if you walk away...
