    I lost two good jobs due to backstabbers.  One was a coworker who did it to me because I did my duty to call child protective services about a student who was being abused at home.  She was mad I’d done it because she should have done it but did not.  I guess she was afraid someone would find out she hadn’t and her job would be in danger.  She the…[Read more]

    The online jobs that claim you can earn easy money are scams.  Doing most online work requires a large time commitment and a lot of hard work.  So far, the only current sites I’ve had success with are here and MyLot.  It is hard to write articles which get views and/or get replies but that is the way you get your earnings.  This is a good pla…[Read more]

    Lola replied to the topic Video is slowing the site down in the forum Group logo of About LiteracyBaseAbout LiteracyBase 8 years, 3 months ago

    I am in agreement that the autoplay video isn’t needed on every single page.  There is a fine line between usability and overkill – having it on every page is crossing that line.  If it’s everywhere, then people aren’t going to pay attention to it anyway.  Selective placement will have a better impact.

    GoAskAlice is a good site owner. I believe that in general, he wants users to do their own thing and just to realize that the more they interact, the more they earn. It’s a very unique site, though. I like to say that MyLot has done a much better job of producing a Facebook-like atmosphere that provides revenue to users than Bubblews did when…[Read more]

    I had always figured that “popular” came from something like the number of friends a user has, plus maybe the amount of interactions that involve that person. I’m sure the algorithm factors in other things but it’s possible, with the right combination, for it to appear pretty stagnant.

    Lola wrote a new post, Borderline Personality Disorder and Self Injury 8 years, 3 months ago

    In recent years, interest in the disorder known as Borderline Personality Disorder has increased greatly. This is related to at least two factors. First – those meeting the criteria for BPD are turning up more a […]

    • This disease is increasing day by day at least all over the world I this it is due to our negative thinking that makes brain upsets day and night but a few people know it and think about it.

      The majority of people affected by borderline personality disorder (BPD) engage in a form of self-harm known as non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI). Underlying reasons for this behavior can vary widely from person to person. In a study published in the journal Borderline Personality Disorder and Emotional Dysregulation, researchers examined the factors that help predict non-suicidal self-injury in young adults affected by BPD.

      The researchers concluded that some classic borderline personality disorder symptoms are linked to increased risks for NSSI, while the presence of other BPD symptoms apparently reduces the risks for self-harm participation.

      The term non-suicidal self-injury describes any form of significant self-harm that’s not intended to result in loss of life. Specific potential forms of self-harming behavior include cutting your skin with knives or other sharp objects, burning your skin, punching yourself, headbutting stationary objects and scratching through the top layers of your skin.

      Some people engage in a single form of NSSI, while others engage in multiple forms. While some forms of non-suicidal self-injury are relatively minor, others merit the prompt attention of a medical professional. However, most self-harmers do not seek medical attention for their injuries.

    • great idea.
      I used to write 2 posts per day but lately, I had been busy with rpeparing my son’s exam, 10th aug, so I have to be offline for 2 weeks.

      I will try posting at least 1 post daily

    • I am OK writing posts here. Some get paid OK but get paid less that I expect. Atleast I get to write which is a good thing.
      You are a great writer @Lee Ka. It should be cakewalk for you. Do not worry about what you are writing on. Just write.

    • The problem with the challenges is that I instantly get a mental block. As soon as somebody says write a post per day and something like that, my mind goes blank, my hands freeze and I can’t type out anything! I’m weird like that. 🙂

    • Yes, it is very important to motivate yourself all the time, even for the most challenging tasks.

    • If you just write whatever you like with a low minimum word count, I am sure writing 10 posts a day is very enjoyable.
      once you start to worry about the payment rate, and word count, that kills half the joy of writing.

    • It is the flow of thoughts that makes you work steadily and within the context if you know what you are writing. Others do it with a ready outline on hand. And I would subscribe that idea. You won’t go away from the topic you are developing. And you know where to stop without changing the thought of your post.

      If you’re used to writing, you know the mechanics. You know where the error lies or the grammar inconsistency falls. Then you are apt to do the correction right away. Awhile ago, I come across with a post that the title is grammatical wrong. Take a look of this: “…can leads…” You know where the error is?

      The secret is to write simply and you know how to correct it later on. Your sentences are written in a simple form. The verb and the predicate could easily be detected as to their coherence, as to the agreement. And this rule is taken up when you’re in your elementary grades. In the college, you write confidently and your tenses, your phrases are in order.
      All of these take a practice and practice and practice.

    • I was also a member of bubbles at some point and I always made it a habit to do my ten posts everyday. I always used to sit down and throughout the day I would get ideas from the events that used to go on around me, and that way I was able to get to my ten posts each day without having to struggle. I used to find a lot of fun in doing it. Most of the time I would sacrifice my sleep to do them. Here I find it much easier to do forums and blogs by answering questions. Which I am having lots of fun and also learning quite a lot from different posts.

    • It would not be a tough job and I hope every member will consider it. I am trying to write one post per day and will create quality stuff here on this site.

    • Yes, daily writing posts is the best job and hobby sitting at home but to write an blog article you must be full of ideas 24 hours like a lover, a lunatic and ta man man. These three [persons always remain ful of imaginations.

      Do you ever sit down to write a blog post, article or chapter and nothing, but nothing appears in your mind? This is the dreaded ‘writer’s block’. The good new is that if you use the following 15 tips, you will generate more ideas than you need, love the writing process, and never ever get stuck.

      As writers, we suffer from a split personality. On one side is the Creator who wants to splash wild ideas all over the page and falls in love with every sentence, and on the other side is the Editor who sits there with pursed lips and ticks off the mistakes.

      It’s really important to keep these two apart! When you’re finding and developing an idea, send the Editor on holiday. When you want to refine what you have written, stuff the Creator into a cage. The first 10 of the following tips will unleash your Creator, the last 5 will give direction to your Editor.

      The right place to look for inspiration is – everywhere! Keep your creative mind on the alert at all times. Let’s imagine that you write a blog about blogging. Here is how you could use your everyday experience as inspiration. You wake up early in the morning: “Why early morning is the best time for writing.”

      You take a shower: “How to come up with 20 great ideas in the shower.” You have breakfast: “15 reasons why good nutrition can make you a fabulous writer.” You get into your car: “10 important things driving a car can teach you about writing”, and so on.

      Not all of your ideas will mature into articles because some may be wacky. But wacky is good! Because anything out of the ordinary can trigger your creativity. Check out this great article on how to keep inspiration alive.

    What is your reaction when you are stressed, angry or worried? Do you feel your anger is getting out of control or do you manage to control it with an effective stress management method you […]

    • Great write up

    • One true thing to considered in this life is believe in yourself and you will achieve anything you desired. You just have to put some strong determination, perseverance, and passion to be able for you to succeed. Success is long road to travel for those who want to reach its glory. It takes time, to learn, to do the hard work, and failures to encounter, to be the best that you can be that will mold you into a better character. Remember, it is failure, that drives a man to success.

    • Yes you say right that life management is an art just as you can marriage easily but to run the marriage circle is an art. To become a politician is easy but to run the country is an art. Love is easy but to run with beloved is art.

      Most people struggle with balance in their lives and are often stressed when trying to manage all the different areas of life – whether it be your career, business, finances, relationships, health, fitness, family, friends, etc… that’s why it’s imperative to have a system that you can follow so that you can really manage all the areas of your life effectively and make continual progress towards where you want to be.

      To manage life you can act upon these five principles as
      1. Build downtime into your schedule.
      2. Drop activities that sap your time or energy.
      3. Rethink your errands.
      4. Get moving.
      5. Remember that a little relaxation goes a long way.

      Don’t assume that you need to make big changes to bring more balance to your life. Brooks recommends setting realistic goals, like leaving the office earlier 1 night per week.

      “Slowly build more activities into your schedule that are important to you,” he says. “Maybe you can start by spending an hour a week on your hobby of carpentry, or planning a weekend getaway with your spouse once a year.”

    • I am that person who got angry easily when tired or stress.
      For that discussion, I must say it’s wonderful. It reminds me how to manage my anger and stress.
      Thumbs up for that great idea.
