Relationships & Family > Acquaintances & Co-Workers How to deal with rude people: 1 of 61

We meet rude people in different places and on a variety of circumstances. One of the mistakes most of us usually do when dealing with rude people is to fight fire with fire. As much as possible, show that rude person that you can stand up to him/her while keeping your own character intact. There's this old American proverb ...
Society & Lifestyle > Personal Morals & Values How to become a better person: 2 of 107

To tell you honestly, there's no real secret in becoming a "better" person.

Each individual in this world is significant and everyone has that shot to becoming better. Eventhough some would say...
Politics, News & Issues > Political & Economic Theory Would you rather be born rich or intelligent?: 2 of 61

Between money and intelligence, I will choose the limitless and more valuable resource, that is, intelligence. Even if I live in one of the poorest nations in the world, I will still choose to be smart rather than rich. See, money can buy you a theater, but it's intelligence which will create the play. You can buy a library,...
Education > Reading & Writing Skills Tips for hooking kids on reading: 1 of 27

The key to hooking your kids into reading is a combination of starting them early and guiding them the rest of the way.

Food & Drink > Fast Food What is worse: to eat at McDonald's or to work there?: 1 of 21

Working at McDonald's can earn you money; eating there can turn you fat. Deciding which is worse is practically a no-brainer. Having two cousins, three aunts and an uncle work at different branches of the fabled Golden Arches, each with varying levels of success in their positions, I can truly say that it's one of the more d...
Education > Learning Styles & Skills Becoming an active rather than a passive student: 1 of 20

What you've been hearing is true: the real world has no place for passive individuals, just as much as schools need less of passive students. Not everyone is lucky enough to have their life handed to them on a silver platter. You can never be successful just by coasting through life and bumming around. You will never know wh...
Society & Lifestyle > Social Values & Norms Our next generation: Are things getting better or worse?: 6 of 116

There's an African proverb that sums it up: "For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today." Our future is a fruit, ripe for the picking. It may bring us much-needed salvation or ultimately, our eventual extinction. Before we can even fathom what the future may bring, we have to look at one thing first: Ourselv...
Arts & Humanities > Philosophical Concepts What is true love?: 5 of 56

True love is the lone black balloon among a bunch of colorful ones; it may not be for everyone, but it will definitely stand out. The thing is, we've seen that black balloon at least once in our lives and we choose to ignore it. We're constantly defining what true love really is. Without batting an eyelash, some might even c...

In this day and age, a child's learning experience isn't just bounded by the four corners of the classroom. We have approached a period where kids as young as 4 years old can easily grasp a mouse and surf the web for information. With the proper guidance in using the internet, these kids have something special in store for t...

Let's face the fact that by smoking in public places, these people are getting away with murder. It has been debated so many times in the past whether passive smoking, the inhalation of second-hand smoke from the cigarettes of other people, is dangerous or not. There had been studies, conducted by the U.S. Department of Heal...
