This is what is happening, right here on mylot!
We can come in here and talk about almost anything. We do not have to be experts in any area, we can just share our life experiences and day to day happenings around us. I just have to translate the thoughts in my mind and organize them into coherent sentences, that's all.
Do you find it easy to write things here?

hello there,bmp!
i bet you do find it easy to write anything about anything here,my friend!
i can see most of the time you always have a new topic to share.
that's why you deserve to have good reputation.and to think you only have 604 ratings now.well,i am happy to have you around here,really!
for me,there are times i don't like to share personal things but of course there's lots of topics here that we can always interact with and to learn also from other's thoughts and opinions on anything.

yeah,it's our own choice who to respond or not.

hello annavi,
Thanks for replying to my topics again! It's good to have you around.
I like starting new topics, whether to share something, or ask about something or simply to hear about people's views. I guess I am a nosy person.
Some personal things are interesting but some are not, so I would rather not bore people with the drab details of my life. There are tons of topics to talk about, why not choose the fun and interesting ones?

CTH,
I was also looking forward to your reply on my comments!
If you have blues, turn them over to bluemoon, I will absorb all and cure them for you!

Hi CTH!
I love it when you start babbling nonsense! Then I have company, because I am also always guilty of that. I hope I have said something to you and not just nothing, and this has done wonders to cure my monday blues.

I have lived a life most could never even imagine could be possible to overcome. I have had the really bads and the a okay moments.
So for me it is quite easily to express my opinions and give out advice. I find it very enlightening to get such positive feedback here on myLot as I have spoken truths about all my avid replies.
So it is quite easily for me and I do want to share that I have learned and picked up quite a bit as well. This discussion reminds of a though I have had once or twice, how can anyone speak when they have not walked in my shoes. I certainly would not enjoy someone with out children per-say to tell me what I am doing wrong with mine. Sort of goes hand in hand with all parts of life.
This to me is so true. So if I find that I can help anyone from my experiences, I truly enjoy it.

I do forgive yet others do not allow me to forget. It is unfortunate but I have been surrounded by people who continue to create vicious patterns. What I do basically is not put too much attention and move on and pray for the best.
I then carry on and allow life to takes its toll with the hopes I can share and help others.

I'm sure many people can benefit from your sharing.
As for those who are not worth it, well, maybe it's better for you to forget, let go of the pain and you will be released from it.

Hi hardworkinggurl,
There are some people who go through a more difficult life than others. Even though I do not know of your hardships, I feel sorry that there is so much suffering in this world.
If you view this positively, you have much more life experiences and are able to help others get along, isn't it good for you to be able to give others a helping hand? You have much to contribute to the world. I guess many have made the mistake of making assumptions of people, myself included, so you may have been upset by some of the insensitive remarks made by people. Maybe you can train yourself to be magnanimous and forgive others for their faults.

Hi, none of us can truly claim to be perfect in our language, and it can be one of our purposes here -- to learn and improve our language skills. I always do that when I see some delightful sentences and will try to pick it up.
We do not have to have instant chats like yahoo messenger because we are doing discussions here, and not "instantaneous chatting". Even with different time zones, your friends and other mylotters here would reply when they log on and see an interesting topic.
Do not fret about your English, just practise more and you will soon see improvements. It may help if you read through what you have typed before submitting to reduce mistakes to a minimum.

Yes, I feel your level of English is not too bad, but of course there is always room for improvement for non-native speakers like us. We should strive and work on it. Jia You!

hi bluemoonpavilion You are so right and sometimes I find it more easy than at other times. Something irritating or odd or maybe common to others will happen to me and I am rushing to make a discussion. other times I get a mylot writers block so then I just start to respond to
all my many friends instead.That is what I love so much about mylot that we do not have to be English profs. to write discussions and touch others to respond to our own problems. So many mylotters over the years have given me really excellent advice and I sure hope I have responded with
excellent or good advice too.

Hi Hatley,
It's nice to see that you often get a lot of inspiration from happenings around you. I guess you are a keen observer and are able to concentrate on the details of life.
Well, I'm sure English professors do not have half the fun we have here!
Thanks for your contribution always, I have benefitted a lot from your replies.

Hi bluemoon! I wish I could say that I was able to start
discussions, but for some reason I find it very difficult.
I love to be a responder, but I can't seem to come up with
topics that I feel are worthwhile and if I can't I don't
want to just write about anything like some people do.
There are some wonderful discussion starters who really
think up some incredible topics and then there are those
who just put down "whatever". I prefer to just respond
and then I can pick the discussions I feel comfortable
responding to.

Hi Opal,
Responding is also a much needed activity here! If not, where will all the posters get their responses from?
Yes there are some who are able to come up with good topics which received many responses and that is truly a good discussion because we hear so many different viewpoints from different people.

Sure, its easy and its fun. But still you know there are limitations. Many people can't communicate well and hence are not able to understand how to maximize on their posts, other are too lazy.

Although language is indeed a barrier sometimes, I feel when there is an effort made to improve it, we ourselves benefit from it.
As for laziness...I am also guilty of that sometimes...so I reap what I sow, I don't see my earnings increase.

That is a good point and very open-minded to think of it this way. I have learnt something from it already.
I try not to be lazy then...I don't want to be avoided by rich!

To be honest it really depends on the subject, I have an easier time making a quality response if it is a subject that interests me, but im sure that I'm not the only one that feels this way ;)

Haha i guess we can always find some people who just think that 2 words makes a sentence and a response and they will earn a fortune on that, but the conclusion is that they dont...

Oh well, I suppose there is room here for the weirds and the quirks too...just be tolerant.... If they do not earn, it's their own fault....

Hi Downwindz,
Yes, of course it's easier to talk about something we are familiar with and interested in. We can also share our own knowledge on something which others may never have heard of. Sometimes we can also attempt to reply to something which we do not know about but have some feelings towards it and trying to learn something.
Am I hearing some complaints here about people not making quality responses?

I think I am getting the hang of it. Like you said, we don't have to be experts here. So, when I see a discussion worth responding to, I just write down the first thing that comes to my mind. I don't have to worry about being right or wrong. I just need to put in what I truly feel.
It used to be difficult, now it is a little easier. It's just the time that I don't seem to have enough of. Time to spend here in myLot.

Hi bounce,
Yes, it's good to note down our ideas and thoughts. We do not have to release them all at one go but rather we can give out little by little and at the same time, refining our grammar and writing style. When there's discussion, there is no absolute right or wrong, each of us has our own angle of seeing things and it's up to us to let others know about our viewpoint.
Time is always limited but always give your best to the posts here, that's what makes it work.

It may not be easy at times but here's a wonderful chance to share my thoughts. Penning it down, talking about them make things clearer and a chance to get them off my chest. As I share I learn as much. And as I learn I want to share more here or in real life.

Discussing an issue somehow clarifies it, maybe because we can then see the different perspectives of it and look at it from an impersonal point of view. We can learn more and hold more objective viewpoint.

Hi, bluemoonpavilion!
I agree with you totally. We all have many thought in our mind, usually they are only sparks which sparkle once and then disappeared. We don't pay any attention to them. Thank myLot, it provide a well designed platform for us and give us a big motivation through earnings, so many persons are sharing our thought here.

Hi qianyun!
You have described it beautifully!
Various thoughts are always running around in our minds like sparks, if we do not capture them, they are gone forever and it is only when we materialize them into words do we see the form of the thoughts.
