What is your thought about "Battle hymn" of "Tiger mother" ?

yiyun_h @yiyun_h (183) • United States 15 Jan 11

yiyun_h @yiyun_h (183) • United States 26 Aug 10

By my understanding, friends come together to share things in common, and with such sharing they are supposed to feel better, stronger and happier. I believe being supportive is the first rule of friendship. However, I have found...

yiyun_h @yiyun_h (183) • United States 3 Aug 10

As I am getting older, I realized that a true friend is someone who support who you are, not someone who deny who you are. Sadly, I do not have many friends like that. For example, I had this "life time" friend of mine, who...
