tong_jd Yes, and I enjoy it. For some reasons, I find peace inside a bookstore, in the company of books. While e-books are convenient, it is nothing compared to the joys when reading a real book.

tong_jd Not exactly important but I guess it's good to have something to read that will make you forget/escape from reality once in a while. Also, fiction helps improve our imagination.

tong_jd Life a life that is free from negativity and hatred. It's actually a herculean task but it's not impossible. Also, spend as much time as possible with your loved ones, tell them you love them. You never know when you're going to lose them or them, lose you.

tong_jd Get yourself a pint of ice cream or a bar of chocolate or both. That should perk you up, for a short time, that is. Or if that doesn't work for you, try to sleep.

Dream, but don’t live in them.

arlerambabu @arlerambabu (1079) • India 30 Aug 11

Dreams are the Road maps to negotiate with the hostile terrains of life. To bring the dreams to fruition, take action. Dreams are meant for realization. Not to be kept in the deep freeze. Yes, beware of procrastination and start...

tong_jd True. A dream will just be a dream unless you act on it. If you want an apple, go pick it from the apple tree instead of waiting for it to fall on the ground.

Muzicmaster7 @Muzicmaster7 (45) • Philippines 29 Aug 11

Oftentimes, we are not even conscious about it, but I do believe our shout outs in Facebook, given on a consistent basis, tells a lot of our character, of who we really are and what we are made of. I gave it a benefit of the...

tong_jd What one writes on his/her FB shout-out pretty much reflects the kind of person he/she is. Personally I don't get annoyed with what people post in their walls, after all it's theirs. What I just don't like reading is when people show off. You know, they're in...

tong_jd Failures are an inevitable part of life. We all fail in one way or the other but what matters is how we take it. Do we just fold and dwell on it or we take it as a motivation to strive more and to be better? Don't let failures crush your confidence and...

tong_jd But money can buy things that can make one happy. But seriously, the equation richest man = happiest man is not true in the context of the true essence of happiness. Happiness is not all about money. The kind of happiness derived from wealth is something that...

tong_jd Why not? Just because they want to be friends with you in Facebook doesn't mean they want something else more than that. Perhaps, they just want to catch up with you after all, you were friends in real life, or at the very least know each other personally. But...

Checking for plagiarism

nicregi @nicregi (1934) • Malaysia 29 Aug 11

Hi guys! I am just wondering...is there any sites where we can check article plagiarism for real and free? Anyone mind to share with me if they have or using one? Thanks!

tong_jd Copyscape.com. Plagiarism is a crime against writers and it must not be practiced. Good thing, there are sites that offer determine whether an article is original or just simply plagiarized.
