Are You a Punctual Person?

ArienKing @ArienKing (4647) • India 2 Apr 07

Are you a punctual person or not? Are you someone that strictly keeps every appointment? Have you ever been late for important meetings, exams, or dates?

7 responses

mineswill I am a punctual person, but my spouse is always late. I've never been late for important meetings or appointments. For me I believe punctuality is a good habit. Being late gives other people a bad impression and first impressions are important.

Forgive & Forget

hsmom2boys @hsmom2boys (134) • United States 30 Mar 07

This is a multiple part question. Is it truelly possible to forget the the misdeed or hurtful words that you are forgiving? Is it easier to forgive one big mistake or a lot of small ones? What about forgiving the same misdeed over...

mineswill Well, I think you need to forgive.I don't think you can probably forget. Forgiving is an attitude of the mind, you have to decide to forgive, to let go of the hurts that the other party has caused. God teaches us to forgive and that means it does not stop, it...

Discipline: too much or not enough?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 30 Mar 07

My son is 4 yrs old, and likes to test the boundaries. My wife and I don't smack, and find that a slight raise in voice is often enough to get his attention, and we can then talk to him rationally, which seems to be unusual for a...

mineswill Every child is different. Remember the old saying 'Spare the rod and spoil the child'.I believe in discipline and I think using the cane is acceptable. Tying them up is abuse and not discipline. I think in raising kids, we need to discipline them and bring...

mineswill I would suggest that you should talk to the caregivers and find out if your daughter has any problems at the nursery, whether she is afraid, anxious or perhaps plain stubborn. If she is really anxious then enlist the help of the teachers in the nursery to get...

mineswill I think the doctor would have given you some antifungals which should be effective in clearing up the infection. If you are still worried it would be better to bring your son to another doctor for a second opinion.

mineswill I think most older Asians eat some internal organs. I love liver fried with lots of ginger and tomato sauce, it is a great source of vitamin A.

mineswill I think most people get tense up and nervous at the doctor's office. I hate going to the doctor's office too. When we normally go see the doctor its because we or our family members are sick, hence the tension.

mineswill I don't think that they do consider themselves as demi gods. Life and death do not lie in their hands, but in the hands of GOD. It does mean that they have a greater responsibility and therefore perhaps a greater accountability as their decisions may affect...

mineswill I too have a family of five and an extremly tight budget. The first thing to do is list out your budget, then work on from there, stick to your daily or weekly budget, try buying necessities in bulk. Try out some 'one pot meals'.
