Question: It is important for children to learn the difference between right and wrong at an early age. Punishment is necessary to help them learn this distinction. What sort of punishment should be allowed to use to teach children?

It is the nature of humans to learn right and wrong from the environment so does a child who develops the sense of good and bad from what he sees. The force or any sort of physical punishment in inculcating him social norms and moral principles will lead him to either

Aloha EC birds!

Thanks for playing!

Here the date of the picture in my cam:

This is Also a Way of Love

I have always been questioning Allah, and it was when I was hurt, sad and in pain, “Why me?  Why it is happening to me?”  In me prays, in prostration, I called Him as if He is closed to me, and he, of course, is very close to me, but it has always been a matter of realization.  To all my prayers, and begging I received no replies, heard no words.  I got tired calling Him again and again, my raised hands fell down in fatigue and a feeling of even more unhappiness rose in

She is my beloved! How can I turn away from her.

I beg you O' listener, please announce that I love her!

there is none better than her, even like her

No matter how surpassing the beauty than her,

But no one better than her, like her.

I desire none............wish nothing, but her.

My love is not a transaction which I exchange for material profit,

I would rather wish to die deceiving her, cheating her.

Its 9 pm here in Australia. I am alone in the room and typing these things on my mobile while laying down on sofa in living room. Its dark here all around.
It has been ages since i left writing on diary but few things are getting complicated for me these days.
Its all about my friend " Adeas ". Adeas and i, are working in same company and same department with me. She is acting very strangely these days. I mean '' she was cheerful, happy and smiley just few weeks before. And now, the girl, who

What would you do if your best friend misunderstood and blame you for something that you didn't do?

I will share my experience with my best friend Shinta and Rany. They are my college mates. We used to hang

out together. The problem started when I asked in WA group that when will we have breakfasting in Bandung.

I used Shinta's name. Then they are angry because I didn't ask permission to mention their name.

It's a small problem for me but big for them. So any suggestions? I have already ask forgiven

Here is an exert from a book that I love written by Samuel Clemons otherwise known as Mark Twain.  I am going to also post the Preface here as I find it interesting.  I do so hope you enjoy I wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in a book such as this......but the only way to know was to try it and see.  Thank you.  If you like it I will post more every so often......or if interested you can read it free online.  This book was published in 1876.  So they talked a bit differently than we do

SUNDAY. Day of the Sun, the first day of the week. Its English and German name are derived from Latin: "Sun's day", the name of a pagan Roman holiday. (The Sun has been always a very important deity for pagan cultures)

MONDAY. Day of the Moon, derived from "the moon's day". For the Anglo-Saxons it was a sacred day to the female deity of the moon.

TUESDAY. Tyr's day. Named for the Norse god of war, Tiu or Tyr, the son of Odin, or Woden. Romans honored their god of war, Mars, by naming the third day

Destiny? Does it even exist? I used to think destiny is an excuse for those who want to do nothing with their lives; lazy people who would blame the destiny for their failures. Now I know for sure that

destiny is like another type of energy! It knows exactly  why are you here and what is your mission on this planet. Destiny directs us and gives us hints. When we ignore those hints we stop listening to the voice inside us, we lose track of our being. We become something we are not. Being something

According to the institute of Physical and Chemical Research in Japan, when they researched Japanese genes, they found that Japanese people have evolved over several thousand years as a people who can't drink alcohol much. A specific reason has not been found yet, but it seems to be an advantage for adaptation to the Japanese environment. There is a similar evolution in Africa, where African people have red blood cells which are not easily affected by malaria. A researcher at the institute says

In your opinion.... Does love have the same point of view as in the past??

Hi there, I only lately discovered the blog option to be fun and a good option for practising my english by writing longer texts than in the chatroom. and of course there are many things to write about and to read. One might not agree with all blogs, though it was a good option to share opinions.

But the latter times more and more economic blogs are dropped and each of them in best english. Some of them contain a link to professional sites where services are offered for a more or les high salary.

          Noisy or annoying for some and pleasant meeting points for others. Like in my language, they have several names; cocktail bars, saloon, pubs, coffee bars, lounge room, sport bars... maybe it changes the sort of environment but at the end all they have a common denominator, the local where friends meet each other in order to chat while having some drink in a relaxed atmosphere.

Spain owns the most quantity of bars per person but you can realise that not only Spaniards like this habits bu

In fact it was Olga´s blog post that made me write this one. Thinking what I could share there, a book by an austrian psychologist came to mind about which I wanted to report there. It probably had went off topic so that I decided to open a new blog. here it goes:

The name of the psychologist was Paul Watzlawik. And the title is "manual to unhappiness". Paul wrote and collected some short stories of which the following makes me giggle on ocassion:

A guy had bought a new drawing as to hang it to th

Still in the série “Diary if a Wimpy Kid”, I finished the title book "The Getaway", which tell us the history of Greg and your family travelling to an Tropical Island, with goal of getaway of the cold weather of their city. The history is full of very confusion and adventures, I liked very much this book I hope which you like it too.

Hi, everyone! After reading a few recent comments on my discussions in one of my favorite groups "Sing a song", after reading some discussions over and listening to the great music, I can't get rid of the idea to bring this group back to life. 

I am really very sorry that our friend Modaway decided to leave EC but the group he created was one of the best. Music is to unite people. It is such a powerful weapon that guns can rest in holsters. Music is not aware of national differences, borders, pol

Mother is a she is always special to their child.

Mother is a she who drowns on earth to give birth to her child.

Mother is a she who never cares for her.

Mother is a she who never Cooks for her.

Mother is a she who never thinks as a selfish.

Mother is a she who can understand the things and support you when you're in an awful situation in your life.

We meet several people during the span of our life. They meet and part away.  Some of them become co-traveler just for few moments on the highway of life, among these some are those whom we can never forget even if we try to forget them.  The delicate pinch of their departing, always remains in our heart.  The unreachable-ness always unease our heart.  We do not forget them.  Their memories float up from the subconsciousness, when we are alone in the full moon night.  They are there with the cru

Is love really blind?

Generally speaking, love is blind and when you fall in love with donkey, Hoor is nothing. It, therefore said so, because general people are unaware about the inner quality of this donkey. This donkey has spirit of sacrifices which distinguished her among other women. Hoor is void of spirit of sacrifices. It's spirit of sacrifices which Allah the Almighty loves the most. Otherwise, it would have been declared that no beautiful people will enter the Hell. As a matter of fact,
