Why to run after money?

prasanta @prasanta (1948) • India 4 Feb 09

syeryn I remained friends with my ex years ago but we could never have stayed under one roof. Our inability to live together was the breakdown in the marriage to begin with so I could never have stayed in the same house after we split. It was hard to find a place I...

daydreamer20 @daydreamer20 (1688) • Malaysia 3 Feb 09

syeryn I think love finds us. There is an old song that says, "No more looking for love in all the wrong places, looking for love in too many faces... I think when we go looking for it, we miss it.

syeryn When I look back on events in my life rather than settle on one event, I think of all the moments when I knew uncontrollable laughter, the silly times, the crazy things we did, and how much fun I had doing them.

Do you believe short temper is a weakness or an advantage?

mininair @mininair (68) • India 3 Feb 09

syeryn Hi -- I think all tempers whether they come with a short or long fuse are challenges we need to overcome in life. I do not view it as a weakness, just a challenging opportunuty we face. Anger is an emotion that we either allow others to make us feel or not. By...

syeryn I take age with grace. I live a healthy life, exercise and try to eat right. I use only natural products on my face and accept whatever life offers me in the way of results. I like to look my best but I am not into being overly vain about my looks.

How would you react to the rumours?

mininair @mininair (68) • India 1 Feb 09

Why people make rumours of someone who innocent? It hurts a lot and that too if it is made by someone who is very close to us. It happened with me. But the irony is that I could not react to that because the person who gives...

syeryn Rumors are just that -- rumors. Nothing more than a tidbit of gossip that someone wants to spread like a wildfire. I usually slough them off and tell others, if something that juicy was going on in my life don't ya think I would be talking about it myself?...

Accept people for themselves

trixyteddy @trixyteddy (1070) • India 1 Feb 09

Would the world be a better place to live, if only we accept other people for themselves, like we expect to be accepted? Why should anyone else think like I do, or be like me. We have to respect and accept each one as they are and...

syeryn I agree, we have become so intolerant of our differences. If we would just accept and respect everyone for who they are individually life would be much sweeter.

If you could date a celebrity for a day, who would it be?

nympha687 @nympha687 (940) • United States 1 Feb 09

syeryn No, I do not think it is healthy to be introverted. Bottling things up inside is never a good situation. I don't think secrets are healthy either but that is just me with one little opinion on this subject.

syeryn I think it depends on the party. If you are hosting a fancy dinner party, the stress level can rise but hosting what I call casual get togethers are a breeze. As a matter of fact, I'm hosting one tomorrow for the Superbowl. I've hosted one for the past 7 years...
