    @lovern thanks, I received their payment in time and spent on some small things.
    I wanted to buy something on ebay, so I spent on that. I did not earn much anywhere else because I was busy with life.

    @mayameen it feels ok, it can be better if there was more money. I look around and no page sends much payments these days.

    • we have instances where in History people are not given adequate importance as along as they are alive but they get fame after their demise.

      Considering 6 as 9 is a human nature to think of something negative of a positive thing and worrying about it all day. This affects our performance also.
      Let us hope today will be a fine day for all of us.

    • you did a good thing. Something if not useful for us let it be shared and become more useful for others. I liked it. I appreciate your outlook towards life. Don’t if no one likes you. The world is wide and big enough to provide a 6′ of space. Isn’t it?

    • That’s nice! Taking every opportunity to earn instead of wasting time. Some of us are just here for the love of writing, and earning at the same time is a bonus. Finding writing sites where one can earn is a good thing. Thanks for sharing these. So you are also Cmoneyspinner in other writing sites? Good to know about it.

      • Yes. I do my best to create accounts with the same user name otherwise I might forget who I am. 😀 Just kidding. I have tried creating accounts with different names and ended up confusing myself. (O.o) I only use a different one, if the site won’t accept my preferred user name. Thanks for reading my post and leaving a comment.

    • I dislike such people. I cannot stand them really, they can really annoy you. I have encountered such people who will always want to say things that will provoke you to say something. The best way to deal with such people is silence or ignoring them. I guess what you did was the best way to deal with that lady. Though I must say you regard her with so much contempt as much as she got you mad how can you say that she wasn’t so pleasing. Anyway you alone know how she looked and how she reacted.

      • She quite an unpleasant sort. What shut her up is that she had argued with an empty room for about fifteen minutes.

    • This is happening with every country and everywhere nowadays. The media can give a twist and make relentless efforts to make you believe what they want. This practically did not occur during the recent U.S Presidential elections as most of the U.S citizen were in favor of Mr. Trump than Mrs. Clinton. The media tried heavily to criticize, demoralize, and unpopular Mr. Trump. But, it could not get success and finally, the people got what they want and Mr. Trump could swear in as the President of U.S.

      • The majority of people voted for Hilary clinton; it is the electoral college which gave Trump the mandate. He has a 34% approval rate today. I don’t know what you read, or where you get your information, but I would try to get other sources. Doing a short search on the Internet of Trump’s approval ratings today will turn up the figures from various sources.

    • Hmmm the media has become a force to recond with. They seems to become misinformed group of people who do not appreciate the truth and fact anymore as that do not sell as much as falsehood and lies. They have become laws unto themselves as they fed the general public with false information which will excite people and paint others bad or black as they say it. I don’t listern to the media any more in my country because they have all become progovernment press who sees nothing wrong with government policy. Let watch them carefully.

    • Maybe he just wrote the name of Mr. Big Shot, because he thinks you will not verify if indeed he is recommending the applicant.

      That is why, when we are applying, we should see to it that we put a reference who knows you well because you were once in his employment. Besides, see to it that you have a good track of work records so the recommender will also give good reviews.

      Never just write a big shot, when the big shot doesn’t even know that you have written his name for reference. It’s discourteous to do that.

      • No, John Chance knew we would contact those he put in as references… I am sure he believed Mr. Big Shot would recommend him. We should check first… before we name anyone.

    • If you are a grown up, you have your own mind to make good decisions but most of us would rather go with what we are told. The thing is if the guy asked for a recommendation from the other guy, it’s obvious that he asked him if he would use him as his recommenderecommender, why then would someone write you such a bad recommendation letter? If you knew that the person was not qualified you should have told them from the beginning. But tarnishing the name of the candidate is not a good thing. That’s why it’s always good to ask questions before you get favors from people or even close friends .

    • There are times when we come across people who will be an influence of negative behavior and if we are not careful, we will probably be misled. You are responsible for your own actions, so when you involve yourself around negativity, then most likely,you will become negative. It important for us to determine that you should not blame others for your actions.

      Being misled is tricky. In some sense, you can be misled by being lied to. That is one reason why a person can be misled. It is wrong for someone to lie for personal gain. If you are a strong willed person with any kind of intelligence, you will not allow anyone or anything to become a negative influence. You should always push for positive influences. A person can also mislead themselves, another person does not have to be the one to mislead you.

    • Wow, reading on, I realized that you are a very gifted person for having those qualities or super powers as you call it.

      Indeed listening can be a power by itself. Even knowing when to be silent is a power also.

      Observing too is a super power. These 3 are what I should learn to have. I am not observant, maybe because I always hurry. I don’t even sometimes observe how a person is before I speak my mind. Now I know, I should be.

      Listening, I sometimes just blurt out without letting the other person finish what he is talking about , so much so that argument will ensue. This is true with my hubby and me.

      Thank you for making me realize I can have those super powers too. 🙂

    • One can write three hundred words but still it is concise. Short and sweet!

      • The interesting thing is that where a few years ago writing 1000 words was no problem, today, one becomes so concise that a topic is covered in 280 words, requiring one to go back and add.

      • Yes, one can write a 300 word article yet it already has taken all the important aspects.

        It is challenging to write more than 500 words. You must have the experience for your topic and very familiar with what you are writing for you to write that long.

        • In the old days people were in the verbose habit. They went around and around before making the point. Today it is very boring to read that kind of stuff.
