cbarnst Complacency is the humanity's greatest weakness. We become so focused on the here nad now that we lose sight of trying to just connect with our creator and our universe. Conversely, there are some like me who focus more on the philosophical aspect and tend to...

Grammar. " to cope with ". Can we use these words nowadays?

RUBESH @Manasha (2755) • Pondicherry, India 26 Sep 12

I have the habit of using the words to cope with whenever I write some articles. For example, The shop is rendering extraordinary service to cope with the demands of the people in this era. I also often use the words "...

cbarnst Grammatically it's fine, but the phrase "to cope with" usually implies a sense of hardship. Saying "to cope with the demands..." almost makes the demands seem unwanted, at least in my opinion. I think in this context saying "to meet" instead of "to cope with"...

cbarnst It certainly is. As soon as those doomsayers hear the word "business" they automatically think you're setting yourself up for failure. I'm sure you already know that starting a business online or offline is risky. However, there are plenty of resources to help...

Do you believe that a person's advice to others are the things they wanted to do for themselves but they just can't for some reason?? speak out friends :)

cbarnst If I'm asked for advice I try to start by asking questions. I try to know and analyze the situation as best I can and try to find a good logical soultion, which unfortunately doesn't always work. It's true that "dyers wear undied pants," but I don't think that...

So recently I've been hanging out with some new people at school and these two particular boys are always commenting on my behavior. I believe in being myself so of course I'm me around them but with every day that past they are...

cbarnst Since you say they compliment specific things about you I'd say that your personality just fits in well with them, or at least they appreciate you for being yourself. Now complimenting you every day soes seem like they might be overdoing it. How often do you...

The Ways of the World

adforme @adforme (2114) 26 Sep 12

The ways of the world are quite apparent. There really is not anything you can do to escape the realities of life. One can turn on the television or watch a movie, but after it is over, he or she is back to life's reality. No one...

cbarnst The problem I've noticed with a lot of people, at least in American society, is that "who they are" depends on other's perceptions. Whether I'm trying to get a job or date a girl I like, I'm always taught to basically modify my appearence and mannerisms to fit...

You do have a favorite child!!!

lyricmemphis @lyricmemphis (260) • United States 25 Sep 12

Okay I don't have kids but ran across this article on yahoo where a father blogged that his older son is his favorite. I do believe parents do have favorites because I have friends tell me so. I do think this father should not...

cbarnst I guess it really just depends on the parents. Each parent may gravitate towards a different child simply because they have more in common as far as personalities and interests. I've known parents that make it obvious that they love one of their kids more than...

cbarnst Right now I am a student, so I really don't know how to classify myself. If I go by my father's household, I think I would be considered lower middle class or poor. There is what's called a "poverty line" as far as household income goes and I think my family...
