what new idea or realizations you have learned lately?

I realized that: 1. I am not really fit to become a parent,and I am happy with it. 2. there is nothing wrong with preferring to care for a pet than a child. 3. I am truly happy being single. 4. I am in love with fashion and would love to work there,no matter how cutthroat that industry is. 5. I am a a creative person in more ways than one.

of course, you cant change a person most especially if he doesn't want to change him self. The best way is for us to change personally on how we deal and think about it. lets just accept what and how they are. that's the reality of life.

I have realized that "...some dreams are just avoidance tactics." (as put by Lori Deschene, Founder of Tiny Buddha) I have realized that the happenings in my life do not define me; and holding grudges is to dwell in the past and neglect the now. I have realized that true power is inner-peace. "Be interested, learn from everything, and take nothing personally."

I know what you mean. You can never change them if they are not ready or they don't want to change. I have a fifteen year old brother who smokes and me and my family have been bugging him to stop for a long time now and he always say that he will but he does not. We just gave up. I know it must not be the best thing to do but what can we do if he really don't want to stop. My current realization is not everything is about me haha. I'm still trying to instill that to me everyday. It's just really frustrating sometimes.

Hi, I have written an article posted on my blog about the book I read and inspired me to write the article. It's about knowing what is the big difference of a poor person to a middle class, and both the poor and the middle class from the rich. I've found out that it all boils down to the kind of mindset they have. The poor and the middle class talks about people, events, politics, etc... While the rich are constantly discussing about business opportunity. That's what make them a lot richer every day. Compared to the poor and the middle class, the rich know how to manage their money. They don't think money as something to spend but a tool to expand their business even more. So, from these new ideas that I've learned I can conclude that the poor are getting much poorer because of the kind of lifestyle they have. The middle class are drowning in debt because of the kind of creditcard lifestyle they have. And the rich are getting richer by every tick of a second because of the mental exercise they do which is to think and think and relish on thinking about new business opportunities.
