Your instruction manual to a happy life

I think getting inspiration from other people's stories and personal life experiences can teach you a tremendous amount about a lot of different issues. It is after all, how we learn to do things. Most often we get these skills from our parents or those closest to us when we are growing up.

One parent took his role more seriously and decided to give his son the biggest gift of all: a book that contained his life advice, which no doubt came into fruition from his own life lessons. He called the collection of notes, mind and heart reflections and what resulted as a father's suggestion to his son on living a happy and rewarding life as he left home to start college, turned into a clever book that has captured the minds and hearts of many other readers. Myself included.

If you ever get a chance, i highly recommend it.

I enjoyed it so much that i had to share it in the hope that you may absorb it completely and put it into practice...maybe even helping you to prevent your own mistakes/decisions.

The author of this book is H. Jackson Brown Jr.

Is that cash, credit or slavings?

Once upon a time, when i worked in retail i was caught up in the whirlwind that involved trying to balance my part time earnings (while i studied) with my never ending spending. Time and time again i had to ask people at the cash register the same question of how they would part with their money to purchase their new found clothing. Would they be paying with cash, credit card or a savings account. For many it seemed credit was the most viable option, which i never understood as i believe it's the equivalent of spending money you don't have so you have no business in spending it anyway, but each to their own i suppose. Finally one customer came to make his purchase and i asked that famous question: "Will that be cash, credit or savings?" He answered with a sigh, "don't you mean slavings?!" I laughed back and thought how right he was. I guess for some people it really does feel that way. It made me think, in a way he was right. Aren't...

A test for true love

Don’t fall in love with someone who says the right things, fall in love with someone who does the right things. Robert Tew This rule applies to every relationship you have in life, not necessarily just your significant other. It really does work. A person's true feelings are often more than what they express verbally, it's just hard sometimes to try and look for those other signs because the words come so easily and are much louder and more obvious to digest. But look closely and pay attention to how a person treats you to learn how they really feel about you. I hate to admit it but the cliche of actions speak louder than words is totally accurate here. I hope you all find someone out there that shows you just the way they feel.

Why you shouldn't trust Facebook

Continuing on with the documentary theme, i was told to watch this movie recently and it opened my mind about the scary reality of Facebook and what it entails for new age romance. This film tells the story of Nev: a guy who thinks he finds love after he meets a girl through Facebook and discovers her entire family on there too. They seem so perfect. A nice 'Facebook family', as he calls them. All the events in this film are true and without spoiling the ending for you they are quite extraordinary. At the end you are left feeling a variety of emotions towards many of the people in this movie but the best lesson you can take away from it is to stay away from strangers and don't believe everything you hear or see on Facebook. That's always rule number one. Guess there was a good reason they invented the privacy policy. Courtesy of Youtube
