dmercedes To me failure is as natural as breathing, eating, interacting with people, sleeping, anything natural that a human does. That's how I decide to accept it, because if it's going to happen to me anyway, I don't want to waste years being mad at it because it was...

Would you really die if that would save the life of your mate ?

Aazam @mdaazam (826) • Indore, India 24 Oct 09

Love surely does exists even i deeply love my girlfriend but the question is in this era is the love what it used to be in the past . Can you ever sacrifice yourself by pushing her or him aside and confront the high speed truck...

dmercedes I don't think love is even real. I believe in it, but people can believe in something that not real. I was listening to a poem and I heard a line "love is a misunderstanding between two fools" I agree with that more than anything. I think love is a...

Does anybody else use Triond?

Undertheoath @Undertheoath (365) • United States 24 Oct 09

Triond.com is a site where you can write article and gain money based upon the traffic you receive to those said articles. I have two examples in my profile :D. I was wondering if there was anybody who used it, and how successful...

dmercedes I have just recently started using triond because I needed to make more money. I only posted up one article so far, and as you can imagine, I haven't really made a whole lot of money. In fact, I haven't made any money because no one looks at my article....

dmercedes I haven't heard the song. I don't really listen to that music, but the lyrics are meaningful and I agree that they are sending out an important message to people, and maybe it will encourage people to be kinder

Be a Successful

One of the dreams of many people is to meet success in life. Either in their career, family, and relationship. How would will you judge success in life?

dmercedes I'll judge my success in life by seeing where I am. If that's a place where I wanted to be career wise or relationship wise, then I would feel successful. If I'm dissapointed because of where I am, I'll think that I'm unsuccessful.

I'm thinking of learning a new language, maybe Spanish or Korean. Where's the best place to start?

dmercedes the first thing I do when I want to learn a language is check the similarities and differences between the alphabets, and the sounds that correspond to each letter. After I have all of those elements down pat, I go for learning simple phrases that I can use...

Dinu024 @Dinu024 (315) • India 14 Jul 09

dmercedes Walking away in silence... I don't think so. I don't really walk away in silence from anything, but it really depends on how I'm feeling. If I'm dying, what can I say to the insultor? If I'm not dying, what can I not say to the insultor? It can be a win win or...

What Makes People Mean?

princess07031980 @princess07031980 (5412) • United States 22 Sep 09

dmercedes I think people are mean because they try to prove something to themselves, about them, that they don't even believe. So if you believe it, it will make it easier for them to deal with themselves. Maybe they're just angry people. I think once you truly get to...

dmercedes I think that there is life after death, but it's not a life that any religion can accurately interpret. I think that humans will never be able to find out if there is life after death. Just the way they probably will never be able to find out what will happen...
