Are you the favorite or the least favorite child?

klystron635 @klystron635 (1519) • Philippines 28 Nov 12

Hi! I grew up in a family of four. For 11 years, my father worked overseas. Sad to say, I have few childhood memories about him. My mother, on the other hand, was a stay-at-home mom. Though, she started working when my brother and...

simplychic My parents don't have favorites. They love us all. Maybe, in some situations, children think that their parents have favorites especially when one or two of them get the most attention from their parents. It's probably because needs differ from one another as...

Do we really need to give presents during Christmas?

Andyvil @Andyvil (793) • Philippines 12 Dec 11

In my country people usually give presents to their godchildren during Christmas. We also give presents to our niece and nephews during this season. If a friend gives us a present we usually feel obliged to give that person a gift...

simplychic In my country, it has been a tradition to give gifts. However, it is still just an option if one can afford it. Giving gifts is one of the things that makes christmas, merry, but it's the thought that counts; so any gift, expensive or not, should be well...

Do you ask questions?? Or settle for what you know??

sweetaprillynn @sweetaprillynn (207) • United States 8 Sep 11

Growing up in an era considered the 'information age' has given me the desire to learn! I am a very curious person, and when I hear about or am asked about any subject I do not know much about, I will search for the answers. Every...

simplychic I'm so glad to know that there's someone who's exactly as curious as I am. I also search for details about every subject I don't know much about that's why I spend a lot of time browsing the net researching about almost anything. I love learning new things and...

Hurricanes should be named after women not men

stary1 @stary1 (6612) • United States 9 Sep 11

Well I am disappointed they started using men's names for hurricanes. I don't know if it was the feminist influence or what, but I think it is more appropriate to name them with womens names. A man hurricane just...

simplychic I agree with bostonphil. The names have already been picked before hurricane season begins. To me, it doesn't matter whether they use a female's name or a male's name. What should bother us is the fact that hurricanes are strong enough to claim lives.

How do you make your own luck?

bounce58 @bounce58 (17385) • Canada 13 Aug 10

I just met a person who said that he didn't believe in bad luck or good luck. He said that he makes his own luck. Personally I thought he was just all talk. I tried to ask him if he makes his own luck, how does he make it? He...

simplychic Personally and based from the experiences of people i know, i do believe in good luck and bad luck. I don't believe that we make our own luck. Good luck comes from God if it's meant for us. What we can only do is to strive hard to show to God how dedicated we...

Thinking positive helps ?

alberello @alberello (4752) • Italy 28 Aug 11

In life, talking to many people, I've always been advised to think positive. They told me that helps a lot, makes the mood even higher and shows a complex problem maybe slightly easier to overcome. I agree with this statement in...

simplychic There are problems that we can't really solve just by thinking positive esp.in tough times or tragedies. However, it is true that no matter how difficult it is to think positive during our saddest times, thinking positive really helps. It may not always help...

Do you speak your mind when you see wrong being done???

sweetaprillynn @sweetaprillynn (207) • United States 6 Sep 11

I believe in right and wrong, and I always speak my mind. I think it is important for us all to take a stand when we see wrong being done, whether it be as minimal as bad remark, or as large as a physical assult. When you see...

simplychic We all know what is right and wrong. However, to some people, their right and wrong are different from what we know. So, telling someone he/she is wrong depends on whether i know the person or not and the wrong thing done. If it's someone i know very well...

Daddy Neil @neildc (17239) • Lapu-Lapu City, Philippines 6 Sep 11

Staying Home Or Working? Which is more difficult?

Jennifer @LovingMyBabies (85288) • Valdosta, Georgia 8 Aug 11

My husband and I often talk about this because like most couples the one that leaves the house always thinks they have it tougher than the one that stays home. Here is my thing about it though, my job is 24/7, 365 days a year....

simplychic To me, staying home is more difficult than working, because even if one's work requires a big responsibility or stressful, work gives day-offs or rest days but working at home is a 7-days work and requires a lifetime of responsibility, commitment and...

Actions speak louder than words.

Pose123 @Pose123 (21635) • Canada 16 Apr 10

When our actions are representative of our feelings, our affection for our fellow humans will always be evident in our behavior. Words can be misinterpreted and often carry little weight because of their fleeting nature. Actions...

simplychic yes, i totally agree that actions really do speak louder than words, because i believe that mostly of what we feel would really show in our actions than in words. We can say all the sweet words even if we don't feel it, but it's hard to show it if we really...

how to build trust from a friend?

jobmoone @jobmoone (442) • Philippines 16 Apr 10

Even though I can put trust to a friend still I can't rely to feel uneasy or having some doubts. Is this thing normal? I haven't had a lot friend to be with instead of this one.

friend

2 responses

simplychic Yes, it's very normal to feel that way even to a friend because it's just right not to give our full trust to anyone even to a friend. There's a saying that you can't trust anybody because it's really hard to tell whom to trust. To be safe, we should not tell...
