solaris765 what he/she said above is true. let me add: obviously you'd enjoy your work the most if it is the sort of thing you really want to do in the first place. then you have the passion, the commitment, all that hooplah to delight when your work turns out nicely...

What is your favorite possession?

maximax8 @maximax8 (31046) • United Kingdom 25 Oct 08

I would say that my laptop is my favorite possession. I got it about one year ago and quickly learned to use it for the Internet and Email. I would never want to get another desk top computer because my laptop takes up much less...

Do you turn the other cheek when you are wrongly attacked?

ronaldinu @ronaldinu (12422) • Malta 26 Oct 08

As a christian the Bible says that you have to turn the other cheek when you are wrong attacked. However does this mean that Christians have to suffer to wrong doings of others? Jesus was also furious with those sellers who made...

solaris765 i want to be able to turn the other cheek. but it's so dang hard. as of the moment, my idea of turning the other cheek, from what i interpret from jesus's action at the temple-turned-market, is this: i'll accept criticism for myself silently and gracefully,...

Can the "Devil Wears Prada" scenario about work vs. life/principle be avoided?

solaris765 @solaris765 (28) • Philippines 17 Oct 08

VERY belatedly I managed to watch "The Devil Wears Prada", and I have a question to ask. By the way, don't sneer at me for having watched it so late, it's not my fault my friends bailed out on me at the movie house, or the video...

Do you like it when you favorite book is made into a movie?

bubblesmd @bubblesmd (43) • Philippines 12 Oct 08

I don't like it when a book is made into a movie as some important parts of a book are deleted because they don't make for good box-office draw or due to lack of time. I often find the movie lacking an important part which offers...

solaris765 in my innermost thoughts, i'd say i don't like movie adaptations. many spectacular books have such complex thoughts and imageries that a movie adaptation simplifies, or cuts out entirely, so that the great tone, atmosphere and color of the book is lost. but...

Or, if you could be anywhere, where would it be? At the moment, there's nothing I really want. It's a beautiful day and my family are all in a good mood. Of course I could say I want money or something material, but, I don't...

solaris765 the term "fluid" can apply to both liquids and gases. A fluid is something that flows and does not have a definite volume (or shape, as what we are taught in first grade) of its own. The doctor means to say that your dad should drink a lot of liquids. =o
