'I am just flipping over the photo album that had my photos taken when I was young, it seems that I had alot of changes in the past ten years,I had been a little naughty girls ten years ago and I am now a mature lady. I was a naive girl before and now I had more life experience, I was interested in dating when I was young but after some unhappy experience I lost the interest.'
How about you ?? How is your life now ?Are you satisfied wiht your life? Is it better or worse than ten years ago?
How had you changed? Your personality,thinking,wealth,marital status,etc,anything you can think of.
What do you think you need or you want to improve now??

Yes, so many changes these past 10 years. Ten years ago, I was still in college, enjoying student life with my friends. At present, I am married, with an adorable daughter and expecting another baby soon. I am almost done with my MBA and also working at home. I am halfway around the world from my native country and my mother...so certainly so many changes.

I was widowed, I am remarried. I was a mom, I am a grandmom, I had two sisters, I have only one. I had a mom, and a grandma, and now I have none.Those are just a few things from my last ten years. Life keeps on happening.

First I have been through hell and back acouple times in the last 10 years.8 yrs. ago my husband was turning sexually weird(with me) and I was suspecting him of sexually abusing our son.I already knew he was getting too physically and emotionally rough with him.So I never left him alone with him,trying to get proof.But before I got any proof,he field for divorce and the divorce court gave him 50/50 custody.I tried like H in getting supervised visitation.(since ex admitted to being abused as a child and he also was always stoned and drunk)But the court system,vistation mediators and my lawyer did not care.Neither did Child Protection Agency.During this time I was also fighting for disability.So I was going through a divorce and fighting for disabiltiy at the same time and I had NO income other that my small child supoort check.(took 6 yrs. to win my disability claim,I was divorced 3 years into my fight)
There is not much I can change in my life.Other than finding a man for another relationship but 7 yrs. have gone by and I am in no hurry.Less stress-being a single mom is enough emotional stress for me.

10 years ago, I was just finishing school, now I am a full time mum with 2 children so I would say my life has changed dramatically in the past 10 years!
I don't think it's either better or worse. There are some things that were better then and some things which are better now. I'm sure there are plenty of things I would like to change. I don't think my personality or any personal things about me have changed. I think I have just grown up and become more confident at expressing myself so it may appear to others as if I have changed.

Oh yes I have had a lot of changes in the last 10 years of my life. In the last 10 years well I have reunited with my husband, and my adopted mother passed away, I moved to the country to live there for 3 years and then returned last year, I have also become a grandmother of two delightful little boys. I have seen some of my children fall in love and get married, I have changed a lot in my own thinking and the way I deal with my life. I have money now where I used to have to scrap to find the next dollar. In regards to what I would like to do to improve my life it would be to make sure that I look after my health more better than I have in the last 10 years.

I was pretty much a shy academically oriented girl......and became a doctor in Sydney Aust, but I was also a net fanatic and began chatting to ppl all over the world....in the end I got involved with an American 2 years ago and now I am married and living in the US......only drawback is that I don't have a job now because I need to sit for more exams before I can get back inro my career....which is hard. I am hoping to find a new career because I just can't study anymore the way I used to. Perhaps someone has some advice for me....I really need the help because I'm feeling rather lost in my life.

In the past ten years I have what I consider rather a traumatic change in my life.
I was married to my first wife, living in the same city we always had, for 37 years. In 1997 the company I had been with sense 1978 suddenly decided to move it's offices to a larger city. I felt fortunate that being in the IT department the decision was made to not move it. However now I had to reapply for the same position under the new holding company. That worked and it seemed that this would be the IT center for that company. A year later we find out that is not true and all corporate offices will be move to another large city and consolidated.
I was offered a job there and went. I was however unable after 2 years to adjust to that new environment, retired and moved back to the state I had lived my life in only to do contract work. This was in a large city also about 350 miles from what had always been home.
I spent about a year and a half there doing contract work but the worst was yet to come. Because my wife did not work she had time to get on the Internet and found a man locally. It took a while but I found out and she moved out. This was in 2001. All of this was devastating to me but I was able to get around it.
I then began to look for someone myself on the Internet and found someone back in the original city I came from. I divorced my first wife and married again. That was about 4 1/2 years ago. I retired completely and was shocked at how much stress I had been under. But it all worked out for the best. I am married as I said and my first wife lives alone.
While not the question you ask this has been the changes for me over the last 10 years.

Sorry easy888 I am not oblivious to the fact that what you ask and what I said are two different things. But change is change and my life certainly did.
Of course at my age physical change can be dramatic in 10 years but in my case not nearly as dramatic as my story.

10 years ago, I would have been 11 so yes I have had a whole lot of changes. I'm not satisfied with my life, I thought it was bad when I was 11, I had no idea how hard it would be to go out and get a job. I used to hate school and never wanted to go now I can't get into any of the universities that I want to go to and I actually want to go to school. My personality has changed completely and surprisingly enough, I had more money when I was 11 than I do now at 21.

Yes, I have from a working woman to a housewife! LOL. Seriously, ten years ago, I was struggling to make ends meet, suffer from marital problems and some health problem. But now, ten years after, I have recovered from my financial, marriage and health problem. It all from hardwork and lots of patience. And most importantly, my faith in God.

the changes that's very obvious for me is more of a physical. Ten years ago i look like a very skinny and small kid. Now I look better ehem ehem ehem. LOL. In terms of experience, of course, we gain more experience each day we grow. But one thing that hasn't change for me, is my shyness :)

Yes alot. I have been into alot of profession. For the last 1o years i have dealt with people in the hotel industry. After a year, i left and became healthcare representative.That was a long and tiring 5 years that is why i left. Then i migrated in Japan and worked their. That was 2 years only but felt like it was a short one. Then i came back to my country and now i am stuck here in the internet and wants to make money online. Any idea how? I think those were a lot of changes in my life.Goodluck!

10 years ago,i was 9 years old.there is no doubt that i've changed hugely,physically or ideologically:)the recent changes i've got is after being with my bf,i started to like sharing things with others,thinking for others,and taking care of people.i think this means a lot to me rather than what i learn from class.in the aspect of EQ,i hope i can improve much more.
