trade.

You can lead a horse to the water, but you can't make it drink.

Instead, by trying to make it drink you'd probably just make it drown.



Do you think people who succeed in their careers do so because they like what they're doing or because their parents think it's the most 'suitable' one for them?

retreat.

You know why those who go overseas at an earlier age usually do better in their studies?

No, it's not because they've learned to mature and take responsibility. It's mainly cause their parents aren't there.

How is that possible you ask? After all, most need parents to give them the push to actually study.

Read on and you'll understand.

How many of you have been forced to go out with your family before an exam. Despite you telling your parents that you want to stay at home to study, they tell you that you should take a break cause studying all the time isn't good. For most of us I'd believe, we get these moods where we're really gung ho about studying and parents interrupting is the one thing that can cause you to lose the studying drive.

On the other hand, you're done with studying and want to go out and have a nice dinner with your friends. What do your parents say about this? "Don't waste time, you should be studying". The irony is that if you hadn't gone out with your friends, your parents would have made you go out for dinner with the family. So ultimately your time is spent on something you didn't really want to just because your parents think that friends are not as important as family.


Just my opinion.

triple.

Certain flaws are necessary for the whole.
It would seem strange if old friends lacked certain quirks.

blink.

Some theories as to how we are attracted to those of the opposite/same(for some) gender for romantic purposes.

1. Evolutionary view.
Select mates who will enhance the survival of the species. Which basically means men pick the classically beautiful women who show signs that they are in their youth and good health. Women pick the alpha males cause they can dominate and bring home extra 'kill'.

2. Social exchange theory.
We select mates who are more or less our equals. Translates to us sizing the person up and then if their numbers are roughly equivalent, we pick them. This theory has it's roots in economic theory, sort of like a cost-benefit analysis.

3. "Persona" theory.
An important factor in mate selection is the way a potential suitor enhances our self-esteem. So this says that we pick the person who will best enhance our 'persona' that the world sees.

Interesting how no 'soulmate' theory is here eh?

Haha.

Which theory do you believe in the most??
