Obstacles brings lesson and lesson brings experience and knowledge. To achieve your goals, one need knowledge and experience and all these can be gain from going through obstacles.

Life and chess is indeed the same but in chess, it is all about skills, experience and strategy. In life it is similar too but something unpredictable like miracle can also happen in life which is something that can hardly happen in a chess game.

Good advice.

Good question you ask here. I had prefer the same thing with lower prices because for me brand name is just a name which for is kind a useless. I prefer same thing but lower price so that I can save money to buy other things which are more valuable.

No, I didn’t pull them anymore when they have grown aplenty. I just dye them. Even now, I just dye those grey hairs that is visible. But not underneath because anyone they cannot be seen underneath.

Indeed, grey hairs can really make us look so aged. In my case, where most of my officemates are so much younger than me, I really have to dye my hair. At least , I look younger when I have my hair dyed with darkest brown. I do the dyeing, myself.

It not a shame to show other people that you have white hair. It is merely a sign that getting older not getting uglier or unattractive. One should accept the fact that everyone will turn old and it is just a matter of time before a person turn old. But of course if you want to dye your hair to look younger it is not a problem because it is you that made the choice regarding your hair not others.

@Dina, hehehe I thought you will laugh too, at least you not pull your white/grey hair for the more they grow incessantly,forever. My co teacher never dyed her hair. She lets her hair transformed to grey, and you know what, her hair still look good, so thick and healthy. I asked her and she said she never likes to dye her hair for that is normal to have hair turned grey, but one day we met and was so surprised to see her hair dyed hahaha, how I wished to say she is a liar, but that was 5 years ago she retired as chairman of the math department.

At least i know she lied me and herself plus the reality that in this generation we can cover other things for the sake of our own satisfaction. Thanks friend and welcome back.

@Ngiam Kee Wei ,Very well said, thank you for sharing and adding some nice thoughts about having hair turn grey which is normal and no way to be ashamed of facing the reality Everyone passes this stage unless your hair like our neighbor never turns grey despite so old already, they are gifted maybe they have strong hair nerve system.

It’s the way we handle problems that can make us winners in life.

I am a person who would do all I can first by myself in solving a problem. But when I know I have to ask the help of my husband or family, I do it even if it means it would humiliate me.

Why would I pretend I am fine when I am not. I won’t die of shame, but I would die of heart attack if I keep my problem to myself which I know I can’t handle anymore.

It’s a losing part of our life when we ask help , but it’s also a winning one, because we won over the problem, with the help of our love ones.

If one only win but never lose then one would not appreciate the win but would disregard one’s win to be a normal thing and this is a bad thing because if one day, all of a sudden one faces loss then one couldn’t accept that loss and immediately give up.

I think less are posting on Facebook due to scammers who tend to phising for personal information on those who post about it. And sometimes it feels like a waste of time; just go there to check messages from friends and relatives.

Superstition varies country to country.I think even a superior country like America people also have superstition. Superstition dwells to man because others had met something bad as coincidence to the belief, that is why it may not fade as years go by.In the country of my birth, there are so many superstitious beliefs that mostly guide people to do right acts, but in reverse to the real world for they do not follow like excuse me. They are afraid of the none existent rather than to those humans alive and existing.If a person says excuse me to a fictitious existence of a bad spirit why can’t others say excuse me to the living humans? Maybe they are not afraid, they are only afraid to those having imaginative powers.

As time goes on, new generations do not believe or practice those superstitious beliefs. But in some areas, there are still a lot of it. Sometimes I observe it sometimes not. It is interesting to know they have the same one in New Zealand!

My 4 sister and I grew up not believing any of the superstitious beliefs. My father being a lawyer then would always refute any belief that we would say is being believed by old people.

My mother would believe some but as always would be told by my father that they have no scientific basis.

So far, we all grew up well, even if we didn’t believe any of the superstitious beliefs.

@Dina, that is always how life goes when our father is a lawyer. My father was a retired military official and was always assigned in remote and weird places even entered a cave to rest with his men and nothing had been observed. Superstition is just a matter of thinking because a person believes in it and afraid of it though in reality there is no negative effect in their lives. Somehow we cannot also believe those believers for they lack education and orientation and strong beliefs of God, Those who are close to God as being religious are not easily be affected with their surrounding for God is their instrument against all evils and odd .

Superstition continues to exists as long as there are believers and culture correlates with it. Well anyway, this is better than committing a crime. This kind brings people in unison and bond.
