    Thanks. Appreciate your remarks only I disagree with you on one point. What you refer to as “today’s world”? That attitude has been around since Cain and Abel.  Humanity has been on that “path” for a very long time!

    Eve York wrote a new post, Stress And Anxiety–Hanging By A Thread? 7 years, 10 months ago

    Stress is an emotional strain from demanding circumstances. Anxiety is that feeling of unease or worry that comes when something is coming into your life with an uncertain outcome. Most of us have these feelings […]

    • yes. I agree with you These are the tips needed for everyone.
      Most of the stress cases are due to less information about the result or unknown or outcome of the efforts made.
      In many cases, people before attending an Interview suffer from stress. They know they are good. Still, they suffer from stress. They really feel stress for fear of the questions in the Interview which really does not carry any meaning at all. Lack of confidence is another factor for the stress. One should develop confidence while doing an activity. It is this quality in most of the cases, one can come out of stress successfully.

    • And if these people being interviewed would do some research ahead of time about what they might be asked and what to wear at this job site then they will cut down on embarrassment and a bad interview. Lack of confidence is a big factor I think. And doing their homework would help with this. Confidence will grow as people experience things. It is taking that first step that is scary. And that gives me a new idea for another post. Thanks for your comment.

    • From my experiences of job interviews, I only get nervous when I was interviewed for my very first job interview.

      I guess that is understandable because I haven’t experienced that ever yet.

      But after being in that job for more than 15 years, I resigned and rested for about a year.

      Then I started applying again. I never felt nervous during the interviews, because I am now more experienced and confident what to answer to the questions that might be thrown me.

      • The job interview was just a for instance. Most have had experience with those but I used it to describe how anxiety could come up.

    • Yes, it is. Many don’t know how to handle it and so it can be a real problem. Mental specialists is a good choice if it gets out of hand. I don’t have that options and I am sure some others don’t either. That is why I write about it.

    When something happens, really happens, and you go through it and come out on the other end, there may be a moment when the abuser is brought to admission.

    When something happens, really happens, there can be […]

    • There was no abuse. Jasmine’s psycho-therapist put those false memories in her mind. That is why even if her brother agreed/apologised there would be no closure. It is like you accusing me of kicking your dog after a psychologist tells you that the reason you feel so upset is because I kicked your dog.

      But it’s impossible, and although you might repeat the accusation, deep down you know it isn’t true. That is the same with Jasmine.

    • I believe we have a “memory vault” where the things that happen to us, and that contribute to who we are, are placed. Bad memories can get buried in self defense. Sadly they pop up when a person is triggered by new memories in their lives. We should use them as a teaching tool and then put them back. I don’t think you can clear the memory vault. I wish you could, but good or bad it is part of who you are.

    • It’s so sad that now, he will be on his own and I hope the mother will train him already to be independent before she also leaves this world.

      I am happy that we were able to raise our only child, now a 26-year-old ladydoctor, specializing in General Surgery, to be independent as early as when she went to high school.

      We didn’t pamper her with a lot of things, but we pamper her with good teachings necessary for equipping herself to be independent.

      She grew up so independent, that I cannot feel at times that my guidance isn’t needed anymore.

      • Exactly!! The reason she is successful is because of the independence. She knew she had to make it on her own, and she did. I know my children don’t ‘Need’ me. They can manage without me. And I am proud of that.

    • To raise a child who can leave home and be successful, that is the greatest parenting. You can’t raise a child who needs you, who will always need you… will always be a child.

    I love to make money online. Is anyone here a member of Crowdtap? I made payout once and it is an okay site. I don’t having to write the long reviews they ask for though. But you answers polls on different products and get points for different activities on the site.

    • Hi, there is Crowdtap still active? It sounds interesting, do they use PayPal as a payment processor? Do they have country restrictions? I want to give it a try if it’s worth it.

    • Yeah, you should contact the site itself and ask them these questions. I would hate to give you the wrong info.

    kaylar wrote a new post, So Why isn’t Saudi Arabia on the List? 7 years, 10 months ago

    Just last Friday, January 27, 2017, President Donald Trump of the United States,  issued an executive order banning travel to the United States from seven majority Muslim countries.  These countries are; S […]

    • I don’t disagree with the list of countries. I only agree ~ scratch that ~ I am only not arguing about or even discussing the ban because the POTUS said it is just for 90 days.

      I don’t agree with your questions at all. Not saying they shouldn’t be asked. It’s just not questions I would ask. Actually, I don’t really have any questions because … Trump said 90 days! It’s his timetable or timeline. He set it.

      Evidently at the end of that period uuumm ________. What goes in that blank? Oh! I know! What’s everybody’s favorite words these days? “Wait and see!!”

      • Considering the 9/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia, why isn’t that country on the List? What about Pakistan? Afghanistan?

    • As far the Executive Order is concerned we have to observe that it has got a life of 90 days only ie., just 3 months. The list of countries with Muslim majority included in it are 7. Unfortunately or otherwise, the list excludes the names of Saudi Arabia and also Egypt. Why the names have been excluded whether it is deliberate or an act of ‘oversight’ can not be said basing on the fact that Mr. Trump is a business man. We can not say that he has got business interest in his hotels and does require the patronage of the Saudi king. Had it been so, the name of Egypt is also not on the list. Egypt is under a brutal dictator. The leader of 9/11 attackers was an Egyptian. Has he to learn anything from him? A big question. Does he require a warm relationship with the General Abdel Fattah? The chances are remote for conclusions to arrive at.
      But, we should not forget to observe that the names of the 7 countries included in the list were already flagged by Mr. Obama’s Administration titled under ‘COUNTRIES OF CONCERN’.
      Why has Mr.Obama not issued an Executive Order like Mr. Donald Trump is not known?
      Has he dodged the action?
      Was he not interested in furthering action?
      Didn’t Obama like to face a delicate situation by issuing an order like his successor?
      Is Mr. Obama really heartened by the Immigration Ban Order of Mr. Trump as expressed in his first statement after leaving the office?
      Is Mr. Donald overenthusiastic in passing the order?
      These are the mutable points before arriving at any decision as there are no conclusive evidence to attribute reasons for eliminating the names of Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

      • Trump has interests in Saudi Arabia. He admitted such during the campaign. He has business connections in other places, so one can not shrug and assume an ‘oversight’. That these countries were ‘flagged’ ought have been examined as to why.

    When I wrote about getting what you ordered, to my mind, people ordered escargot and are surprised to get snails.   The guy said everything he is doing in baby words so a 6 year old could understand.

    That he is stupid, yes.  Short sighted, certainly.  That he doesn’t think of consequences, exactly.

    No he does nothing surprising. I’m glad there are a lot of “eyes” on him though. I’m glad he mentioned “the people” and their ability to govern themselves in his inaugural speech. If he thinks he was just uttering “empty words”, he better think again.  A lot of US took those words very seriously.

    Head hunting agencies make good money. It’s not hard to scout out people with talent. The talented ones rise to the top so they can be easily seen. All they have to do is “dangle the carrot” and see if they will take a bite.   Most bite!  🙂
