When Not To Talk Things Out

Reblogged from michelle guo:

A few days ago, my husband and I met up after work for dinner and somehow, our conversation led to a disagreement. I was annoyed, so I ignored him. We ate dinner in silence because neither wanted to be the first to budge. Although I don't like going to bed angry, I tend to be more stubborn about him reaching out to me when I'm upset.

It's always nice knowing you're not alone in things. :) I'm also having issues with small arguments, and talking things out. Gotta say it's different every time. But whether you leave it unsettled, or all sorted out, it still brings about an "awareness" about each other's sentiments and perspectives we might never had the chance to see before. :)

The wisdom and knowledge of a Billionaire

Reblogged from Rhys Woodfield:

In this great audio Warren Buffett's business partner, Charlie Munger* (net worth of over $1billion March 2012), discusses 'The Psychology of Human Misjudgement' . Mr Munger talks about how we make decisions and more importantly how we make bad judgements. This is a fascinating talk  about psychology and why we do the things we do. It also reveals the psychological secrets behind some of his and Warren's most successful investments (for example Coca Cola).

Many of you lovely readers responded to my mention of being a people-pleaser the last time we wrote about apologizing (Katie's here, Maria's here) and it got me thinking: non-people-pleasers must be a little baffled by how people-pleasers go through their days. I'm surprised to learn that there is a scientific term for people-pleasing---sociotropy---and Urban Dictionary was very helpful in offering this thoughtful, gentle…

It is quite a cute film I must say.

Like Crazy (2011) is an american romantic drama directed by Drake Doremus starring Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Alex Kingston. I would rate the film 5/10.

The film has a predictable love storyline, boy meets girl, they can't be together then they find a way to be together, happy ending.

Never lose yourself in a relationship. Always keep your own identity when you're with someone or you'll be lost without them. Keep in mind that relationships will end, whether it's through a break up or sudden death. You must always have your own security - be it financial or emotional.

Stay close to your friends and loved ones who will be there for you when and if things end.

Mashable recently published an article called 50 Things Replaced By Modern Technology. As I looked through their list of things people don't do anymore, I definitely felt feelings of nostalgia bubbling up. Some of the things, however, I was not sad to see phased out as modern technology evolves. One example is #22 on Mashable's list: "Renew your car registration by visiting the DMV." Thank goodness things like renewing your car registration are now made easier by filling out an online form instead of waiting five hours at the DMV.
