Does reading books really make someone smarter?

eddyspaghetti @eddyspaghetti (1225) • United States 16 Apr 10

When I was young I was always told that reading books made people smarter. I have found that this would include anything except for magazines, manga, and comics. In other words novels, which can be in any genre can increase one's...

vialdana I'm sure reading CAN make you smarter, if you choose books that broaden your horizons and that teach you new things even if it's about other people's thoughts on things. There are however a wealth of books out there which are full of bad grammar, and where the...

Do You Think Being Alive is an Easy Thing?

getbrowser @getbrowser (1708) • China 10 Nov 09

According to some polls, the suicide rate in Japan keeps ranking high among the world's leading countries. When it comes to the reasons why so many Japanese commit suicide, I guess it is the tremendous stress of society. What’s...

vialdana I think it depends very much on what you are facing in each. Every person has their beliefs, for some it's a world with god and the loved ones whom they've lost. For others it's reincarnation, and for others it's nothingness. If you believe in something...

Do you really follow the instruction of the prescription?

Tina83 @Tina83 (1223) • India 4 Nov 09

vialdana Yes I always read the instructions carefully before I begin taking any medicine and I always follow the instructions and keep taking it as prescribed. I think if you don't do this then you're less likely to get well properly.

vialdana choose a foundation that's the right colour for your skin you don't want one that's too dark or too orange for you or it will look wrong. When you apply it try using a small makeup sponge so you get a nice even finish, and make sure you blend it at the edges...

vialdana Making sure you have really good content on your site helps. If it's badly worded, or if the stuff on it is boring people won't bother coming back, so it's worth a) having new interesting stuff regularly, and b) making sure everything is spell and grammar...

vialdana I'd be very wary of any program where the payout is so high to be honest. Having said that, as long as your pc is still safe (i.e. no viruses are getting in), and you're not paying any money to use the program then I guess it won't hurt you to try it. Just...

mrnischalgurung @mrnischalgurung (424) • India 4 Nov 09

I Wanna lose weight and hence wanna start with eating less but how do i eat less. I Tried drinking water after meals but hi i guess that creates a side defau effect to the health so i'm scared. can you give me some ways ?

vialdana I wonder if you actually need to eat LESS, or just to eat differently. Maybe what you need to do is to look at what someone of your age, height and gender should be eating each day and compare that to what you actually eat first. Then perhaps IF you need...

Reading Books Still Important?

getbrowser @getbrowser (1708) • China 27 Oct 09

I am wondering if reading books is still important for us and our modern life. You see, if this question was asked about 10 years ago, I am sure that most people would have echoed a big “Yes!”. Compared with past time,...

vialdana I do a lot of meals in the oven in a large old fashioned cast iron casserole dish that would suit a crockpot. None of them are deserts though I'm afraid. Here's a rather nice one I do enjoy though: Leek and Potato Bake Slice leeks and potatoes about 1cm...

vialdana I'm afraid I wouldn't put any tattoo on my body. For a start, I'm not a big fan of needles so the idea of subjecting myself to having one decorate me with some image is one I just couldn't deal with. Beside that however, I don't really like the idea of having...

is H1N1 connected to the Spanish Flu Pandemic of 1918?

cher913 @cher913 (25782) • Canada 27 Oct 09

I read an article (although its from May) that said although we could have gotten the flu from pigs, we may have given it to them in 1918. It also says that the H1N1 isnt as lethal as the Spanish Flu. I guess time will tell.

vialdana I think what you've read may have been a bit muddled up by the sounds of it. As far as I'm aware the way it works is that the H1N1 virus is a mixture of human flu and Porcine flu. The reason it's a mix is because humans work with pigs and when both have...
