Can you guess them?

1. The more people you share your pleasure with, the more you feel pleasure. On the other hand, the more people you share your sadness with, the less you feel sadness.

2. Sea water evaporates and becomes vapor. It is cooled in the sky and becomes cloud. Cloud makes rain and it falls down on the ground and sea.

3. I am not sure whether it will become successful, but if the possibility of success is more than 50%(The percentage depends on the person), there is no reason why I don'

I never expected that you ended our friendship without saying a single word if you say just bye before ended the contact the pain of loss would be bearable for me but you wouldn't bother even to say that. The feeling of  pain of loosing you can't be express in words if I try to express this feeling in words it's be like you have a good friend and he was dead and you  haven't know where his or her dead body is nor you know his grave where you go and cry.....

Dream

Onee's writing challenge.  I am not describing "Dream"  I am mentioning a dream.

“OH! You have come again!” 
No reply, there was silence but “Yes,” was hissed in my ears.  She was looking very happy. Her supple fingers were caressing my forehead. 

“How much you make me wait, and then you part quickly!” My voice was trembling; I was staring at her beautiful face as I wanted to engrave her in my memories, so that I would never forget her, even when she parts away.  Her face was glowing like a moon

Expressions in English with ‘Tongue’

English has many expressions. We should know the meaning when natives us them.
I will use expressions with 'tongue' while telling a short story.

Helen: "Hey, did the cat get your tongue?"

Sam still doesn't react.

Helen: " Don't you understand me? I thought English is your mother tongue, or do I speak in tongues?"

Sam is st

Using Symbols on a Computer

Joseph's recent emailed newsletter about "Typing and Writing Symbols" was interesting. It reminded me of the days when I taught business communication and computing.

One of the things I taught students was how to create symbols on their computers that were not available on their keyboards. These symbols, as some of you will know, are part of the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) which you can find here: https://theasciicode.com.ar/

The article tells you how to make the sym

Friendship is a word that people often use, and often even they use it thoughtlessly. Especially in the virtual media.
We get friendship requests from people, we hardly ever know.
The word friendship got a new meaning during the last years.

I always struggle to call it friendship when I just met someone.

Sincere friendship needs patience and time for growing.

A real friendship is precious. Often, we have a wide circle of acquaintances, but only a few people are in our close circle of friends.

So I w

Silence

Silence means absence of sound (any voice), but is there silence actually?  No there is always sound all around us, sometimes it is beyond our hearing power.  There is a phrase “broken heart”, we say my heart is broken. Is there anyone who can say he has heard the shattering of heart? No, but it still breaks.  There is silence for you, but I was hearing all the shattering of a broken to pieces of heart.  This is not ridiculous, ask a poet, a love-failure.  There is another phrase, “promis

Why am I living for?

here are five great benefits of living a purpose-driven life: 

Knowing your purpose gives meaning to your life. We were made to have meaning. This is why people try dubious methods, like astrology or psychics, to discover it. When life has meaning, you can bear almost anything; without it, nothing is bearable. A young man in his twenties wrote, "I feel like a failure because I'm struggling to become something, and I don't even know what it is. All I know how to do it. Someday, if I discover my pu

A few days ago, I had a conversation with my student about success.

Though the following dialogue is not completely the same with what I were talking at that moment, it has the similar message. :)

We were learning language, Indonesian.

Me: You got a score of 6 out of 10, four mistakes. Let's analyze your mistakes.

Stu: I thought it was easy since this is Indonesian, our language.

Me: Yeah, I will tell you that the key of mastering Indonesian or any language is reading more and more. You can read news

It is a general fact, everyone in the world is somehow thirsty of respect or value what in other words we call recognition, but very less of us try to be a person of true importance or value.

Before going to the very depth of the quotation, one needs to deeply understand the meaning of "recognition" and of-course!  "Not to be Recognized" In some circumstances by the people around whom we work, play, speak or sometimes live.

According to the Dictionary, as per the quote; Recognition is the  respect

A Chinese scientist is being criticised for making twin girls whose genes were modified. He seems to have modified the girls' genes when they were ova, so that they wouldn't contract AIDS, because their father had AIDS.

Most scientists around the world criticise him because they think it is unethical to modify human genes. If they allow it, they can design people as they like. It would be very terrible, wouldn't it?

There are some problems about this case. For instance, how about the girls' human

some tricks i use

I have being doing a lot of shadowing, for those who don't know what it is shadowing, it is a technique in which you need to have a book or a text, and you need to have the audiobook, and right after you hear the words you should repeat with your own voice to practice the movements of your mouth and tonge, because if you just read it is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that by having the sounds in our minds we are going to pronounce them correctly, and when we try, we get stuck, it is beca

Flooding Tears

Flooding tears took my heart

Passages of thorns are hard to cross

Airports of goodbye stirred white

Your sky is singing and the areas of sorrow

in our eyes exploded to take 

the rest of that feeling

We sang for you and we will sing.

The flooding tears covered the world

The return of love became a wish

In the coming season, visions will clash 

We often blame the presence and  

We do not regret the past

Your love was put inside and

The day committed suicide

We sang for you and we will sing

Well said by Mr. Jim Rohn; who was an American Entrepreneur, author and a motivational Speaker. Though he isn't among us today yet he has left some truly meaningful words that if followed may help each reach the elevator of success in every sphere of life.

There are so many ways the word success has been defined into but it still seems a little ambiguous for humans in this world to understand its real meaning and act through that level. Well, it's a fact that to every individual success matters a

Philosophy is an intricate, compulsive, stimulating, and thought-provoking field of study. It focuses on convoluted ideas and questions that require deep thinking and analysis. You question what life is, what is your purpose, and the meaning behind everything. These are heavy subjects as it is incredibly difficult to grasp these ideologies and concepts. What must be understood is that you need to ask questions to get to the answers. At least, this is what the Socratic school of thought promotes.
