Stevia has strange taste, I will not buy it again. I use xylitol as a sweetener. It is made of birch trees and is not a sugar but so called sugar alcohol. You don't get drunk though! It tastes good and is low GI. It is also anti-bacterial and is used in health store chewing gums. You can't bake with it though, as it will kill yeast. It is a bit pricey though.
Nice story. I would be happy I could do anything with my hands, sew or do whatever. But I can't even draw a straight line! Everything falls out of hands. It is not for everyone, entrepreneurship. My family was poor and uneducated, alcohol, fights and all unhappiness possible. It obviously did have an effect on me. Did not even think of study, just worked casual jobs. Only few years ago I went to university. Trying to change my life for better, but the resistance is huge. For example, studied a year for medical secretary, got temporary job in a hospital with a good view to get permanent. Just before my contract was to expire, Health Service started reduce staff numbers. Got good job in a company, company could no longer pay me due recession. Each has her own path, what is easy for one, is unachievable for other. I am trying my best, but moving slowly. The above story sounds like from a 'how to start a business textbook', but it is an individual story and not many will identify themselves with this story. And if frankly, sounds a bit like bragging about own success. Not that it is a big sin, you can be proud of your success, but if you want to advice, I think an advice should be individual, concrete and to the point. Best wishes, J.
One reason to appreciate life in a given moment is that it can always get worse. I don't know whether it is helpful to you, but this thought sometimes helps me. Horrible to lose a brother though, I don't know whether I would be able to cope too. Being always strong may not be the best thing, a good cry is very helpful for the soul. You feel better. Take care and my best wishes!
When I was young, there was time I wanted to kill myself and even tried it. Did not succeed first time, but had that in mind. But I had debts and thought it would be good to pay them back, not to the bank, but to some kind people. So, I had to live to pay these debts back. Then I changed my mind, why to hurry, I will die anyway. I can live and see what happens. May be you have some debt, if not in money, then in love? May be you owe your parents? Imagine how would they suffer if you killed yourself? This world is not a perfect place, but it is all we have. May be you can do something nice to make someones life a bit better? Think about it.
So, for four years Qudaffi's dissertation was just fine. No problems with little plagiarism here and there. What is wrong, is the university corrupt, or there are opportunistic people there who take advantage of Quadaffi's 'fall of grace' to get rid of rivals and take their place? Not nice for a famous university like LSE though.
My budgies used to sing their heads off when there were noises like water tap running, frying pan sizzling or hair dryer working! They also tried to oversing people's conversations.
To use a friend is to lose a friend. You don't use a friend, such relationship will not work. And it is not nice thing to do. It is the same with male or female friends. I don't use my girlfriends and they don't use me. Although, if I think well, friends use each other for companionship, good time, advice, comfort, but it can't be that one is only a taker and the other only a giver. So, they can't go to the guy friend only when they are hurt to shed their tears, that guy would get too bored in the end. They probably also have other things to talk about or shared activities, only then the friendship will work.
If only it was so simple, change beliefs and life changes! I may believe I deserve much better life, but if I am not strong enough, mentally or physically to work, fight, compete and get what I need, I will not get anywhere. Opportunities are limited by your own capabilities and circumstances. But of course, there is no point of thinking that you are unworthy(of what?)Are those who are more successful any worthier? No, they are bolder and stronger and take what they want, sometimes even disregarding other peoples suffering. They certainly think they are worth a lot and everyone owes them favors. Not that we should become that kind of persons! So, yes, we should not worry about our worthiness, but also we should not be overly optimistic and expect that life will start to throw gifts on us because we think we are worth it. You have to take your share, but somebody else will probably lose theirs. A little dilemma!
