Society & Lifestyle > Lifestyles Tips for living with very little money: 1 of 26
Months before writing this, I chanced upon the blog of Daniel Suelo (read his blogs http://zerocurrency.blogspot.com/ ) whose personal advocacy is to limit to zero the use of money in the world. He's started doing this by becoming a positive role model of his own advocacy, and the image I see on him is startlingly interesting... More..
Creative Writing > Memoirs Memoirs: Suicide: 2 of 38
Can someone tell me how to move on from the grief I've had since learning about John's Kreckler's death? He was found dead in his home, after cops got into his apartment when family members were worrying about unanswered phone calls, as well as unexplained absence from his work. The service held less than a week after John d... More..
Education > Graduate Studies Why pursue a Master's degree?: 2 of 30
The value of earning a Master's degree can be better appreciated by someone who has finished it, and not by someone who is still aspiring to acquire one. Being far from typical career or work goals, working on a Master's degree may be seen by many to be not absolutely contributory to improving their education and/or personal ... More..
Jobs & Careers > Getting Ahead Job promotions come when ...: 2 of 28
A job promotion happens when you've come into terms with your situation in your workplace that there is no other way but to go up the ranks of the hierarchy. This is loaded with a lot of meaning particularly for this writer. He was once told by his direct supervisor that his name was on the line-up already for promotion, and ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US Immigration Do immigrants really do the jobs Americans don't want?: 9 of 109
I'm an immigrant here in the US. I can equivocally say that immigrants are indeed doing the jobs that generally Americans don't want. However, this situation has been changing based on my observations ever since I came here over three years ago. I've stayed mostly in New York City (NYC), and I will have to agree that conditio...

Relationships & Family > Dating Psychology Men: Why they watch porn: 1 of 12
To recognize the value of this subject in a more honest, authentic manner, it has to be better expounded from the viewpoint of an individual perspective, rather than by someone who would view it as an outsider. Also, it may not be fair to generalize a statement that (almost) all men do watch porn. Being male myself, I have me... More..
Travel > Public Transportation Personal advantages of taking public transportation: 2 of 22
"I end up acquiring a more balanced view of how regular folks actually think and behave, than how they're usually depicted in the profit-driven media" - that's the first among benefits I get from taking public transportation. I see and meet real, authentic people, who may have the same concerns as mine, when I commute. Whenev... More..
Style & Beauty > Style & Beauty (Other) How to reinvent your look: 7 of 73
When I reached age 40 (which may be viewed by others as the arrival of many furtive periods of spring) I started to consciously reinvent my looks by progressively following certain steps. Most of them I have learned from mistakes. Thus, I have learned that you can always evolve into someone who looks differently from who you ... More..
Jobs & Careers > Job Interviews Most difficult question in a job interview: 2 of 19
Interviewers usually have their set of ready questions whenever they conduct interviews. Among questions included in a list, several can be considered "difficult." There are many questions that may come as "difficult" or "easy" to answer, depending on the level of expertise of the interviewer, as well as the ability of the ca... More..
Home & Garden > Cleaning (Other) How to enjoy cleaning your house: 4 of 33
To be able to finish this (what-may-be-considered) physically challenging goal, we have to follow what our individual personalities are revealing to us. We clean our houses following what basically suits our personal needs. Also, the best way to enjoy cleaning our houses is to delegate the task to others (if we can get away w... More..
