cut the crappppp ya ;llll

Gears of war

Unluckily, these games suck so bad, i wouldst even wan to hear or talk about them. Their story was screwed from the beginning, they are so boring to even see, watch or hear about. In my opinion, only blizzard is worthy of thier making a true epic game. Others are just a waste of time and money . Blizzard has the best stories in the history of gaming. Resources cannot be seen anywhere on the internet .

i cant function if i dont go and social, or without a very social episode of scrubsto keep my happy and motivated. I dont think i wan ta professiion thats a very unsocial.

ok

So, i been obbessed about the society influencing our social norms in every point in our live. Well, as long as we live in a very social environment.

Ok, first things first, dont let society normas , influences u, U have to remember that, just be yourself, You are just perfect that God made u. JUst beautiful.

DOnt look at others. Socail norms are shaping every one. Some people in Seoul have plastic surgery at the youg age of 12. That is very sad, ppl wanting to look more western. Adults should teach their kids not too be too influenced by society, at a some point , even the adults get it wrong.

Well thats my opinion. Peace out
Sooooo sry about the miss splellings

The reason

Why am i quiet,Cause i m at very tired of alwyas shifting my emotional state and ultimately my personlaity, it so frustrating. Imagine being a rock in the day, and as liquid as water at night, its not easy It requires a skill to do so. And the only way, that i going to be achieve is from a tremendous amount of effost.


Which is too costly todo. So, now we come to and conclude , why i ma being so silent, quiet, reserved and thoughtful. Should be a very intoverted person. But thats just one side, i also have a very extraverted inside. Thats my hypthesis. You know!!!!

I u cant accept me who i am, then u r not qualified to call you my friend.

tired of Being quiet

Now, i have recently found my self ,, very quiet, very always into deep thougt. Now that i expericned emo, it is always influenced by the social norm of thesociety.
NOw back to it, ive always been a happy person, but once i m jhappy, i start thinkin , what would it be like to be not happy. Well, that was a thought of a 9 year old, when i was young. Really not good.

Well, here i am , sharing my deepest most secret thoufht oabout myself, on my blog. Haha, not funny.

What’s Your Time Perspective?
By JANE COLLINGWOOD

We are all time travelers: We draw on past memories, experience the present and look forward to future rewards. But how easily we travel back and forth makes a crucial difference to how well we do in life and how happy we are while we’re living it.

Our time perspective — whether we tend to get stuck in the past, live only for the moment, or are enslaved by our ambitions for the future — can predict everything from educational and career success to general health and happiness.

Stanford University psychology professor emeritus Philip Zimbardo coined the idea of time perspective. After more than ten years’ research, he concluded that our attitude toward time is just as defining as key personality traits such as optimism or sociability. He believes that time perspective influences many of our judgements, decisions, and actions. Zimbardo recommended that a more future-based time perspective could help students study and progress to higher education.

Most researchers believe our time perspective is largely learned in childhood. Culture also has an influence on our time perspective. Individualistic, “me-focused” societies tend to be future-focused, while more “we-focused” societies — ones that encourage social engagement — invest more in the past. Affluence also has an effect: Poorer communities tend to live more in the present. But we can all change our time perspective, Zimbardo says.

Ideally, we can learn to shift our attention easily between the past, present and future, and consciously adapt our mindset to any given situation. Learning to switch time perspectives allows us to fully take part in everything we do, whether it’s a relaxed evening enjoying a glass of wine or reminiscing about long-ago events with an old friend.

Vital though this skill is, since time perspective is largely an unconscious and habitual way of viewing things, it takes a concerted effort to improve our use of it.

What’s Your Type?
Zimbardo identified five key approaches to time perspective. These are:

The ‘past-negative’ type. You focus on negative personal experiences that still have the power to upset you. This can lead to feelings of bitterness and regret.
The ‘past-positive’ type. You take a nostalgic view of the past, and stay in very close contact with your family. You tend to have happy relationships, but the downside is a cautious, “better safe than sorry” approach which may hold you back.
The ‘present-hedonistic’ type. You are dominated by pleasure-seeking impulses, and are reluctant to postpone feeling good for the sake of greater gain later. You are popular but tend to have a less healthy lifestyle and take more risks.
The ‘present-fatalistic’ type. You aren’t enjoying the present but feel trapped in it, unable to change the inevitability of the future. This sense of powerlessness can lead to anxiety, depression and risk-taking.
The ‘future-focused’ type. You are highly ambitious, focused on goals, and big on making ‘to do’ lists. You tend to feel a nagging sense of urgency that can create stress for yourself and those around you. Your investment in the future can come at the cost of close relationships and recreation time.
All five types come into play in our lives at some point, but there probably will be one or two directions in which you are more focused. Identify these and you can start developing a more flexible, healthier approach.

Using Time Perspective Effectively
The aim is to find a perspective which realizes our essential psychological needs and deeply held values. Balance and positivity comes from making positive use of the past, finding healthy ways to relish the present, and routinely making plans for improvement.

Take your regrets, for example, and consider how they could work for you. Perhaps you could go back to college after all? Use the painful emotions to fuel your motivation. Immerse yourself in rewarding activities that demand your full attention rather than passive activities such as watching TV. This leads to greater fulfilment and is more likely to create lasting happy memories.

Believe you can improve the future through your own constructive actions and you will gain a sense of empowerment and control, as well as minimizing those nagging doubts and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. By believing we will have a positive future, we actually increase our likelihood of doing so.

Tips of finding your true passion

Here comes the beefy juicy content, thats gonna fill your stomach for an eternity.

7 Questions To Finding Your True Passion

By Frederic P.  

According to a recent survey, about 75% of the population do not know what their true passion is. Clearly, almost everyone seems to not be doing what they were meant to do. This is an eye-opener because doing what we really love is absolutely necessary if we want to be fully happy. Perhaps this is why there is so much unhappiness going on in our society, people just aren’t doing what they are here on Earth for. Finding your true passion isn’t as simple as it may seem. For some, yes it does come naturally, but most of the time, you have to ask yourself some questions to pinpoint exactly what you were born to do. Here are my 7 questions that can guide you to finding your ultimate passion:

What puts a smile on your face?
Is there a particular event, a particular topic that makes your whole face just lighten up? Whatever it is that makes you smile, and makes you happy whenever you encounter it, this is a sign of something you are passionate about. I truly believe that happiness and passion walk hand in hand. Both require each other. So following what makes you truly happy is a wonderful way to figuring out what you were put on Earth for. Think about something that you do or that perhaps you used to do that brings total peace to you when you do it. Peace is happiness, and happiness is passion.

What do you find easy?
Usually, what we find easy for us to do, will be related to what we are passionate about. It’s very hard to hate something that is very easy for us! For example, let’s say you are naturally good at playing the piano, you will find the activity easy, and this ease makes it much more fun for you. Fun leads to happiness and happiness is synonymous with passion   So assess everything that you do, whatever it is that you find really easy and fun, this may very well be your passion. And don’t think that anything is off limits or silly. Some people have taken their passion for skateboarding, drawing, or collecting to full fledged careers. Remember this, you can make a career out of anything you are passionate about.

What sparks your creativity?
One of my passions growing up was hockey. It’s not too surprising, being Canadian and all   But I remember playing for hours and hours, and always coming up with different plays, and different methods to score goals. I was always full of creativity when playing hockey. Later in life, I developed similar creativity in business. Think about something in your life where you seem to always expand its horizon, always coming up with new, fun, and exciting ideas relating to that subject. Whatever makes you creative, is probably something that you are very passionate about.

What would you do for free?
In this society, we are ruled by the almighty dollar. That’s the way the system works, and that’s the game we have to play. The problem is, this leads many people to seek making money first, instead of what makes them happy. I have read countless number of stories about stock brokers and doctors for example, leaving their high paying positions to follow what they really love. There is a reason for that. I truly believe that if you follow what you are passionate about without thinking about if it will make you rich or not, you will end up being successful. Doing what you have a passion for brings out your best, and this leads to greatness. Greatness breezes to success. Do you think that the most successful people in the world got to where they are because they wanted to get rich? Absolutely not, they did what they were so passionate about, and their immense success was just a byproduct of their dedication. So think about something that you would just love to do, even if you were not getting paid. Think about something that you look forward to do, something that you wish you could do all the time.

What do you like to talk about?
The topics of conversation we have can definitely tell what we are interested in, and this is a good way to find out what we really enjoy in life. Most of the time, we aren’t totally aware of this. This is why, a very good way to figure this out properly, is to ask your friends. Ask them what they believe you like to talk about the most. Ask them what topic makes your eyes brighten up, and changes your entire behavior. I can guarantee you that some of their answers will be surprising to you. Some of these things weren’t that clear to you, but your friends can see the reaction on your face that you can’t see yourself. Try it out, it’s a very insightful exercise, and one that can direct you closer to figuring out your passion.

What makes you unafraid of failure?
When we do what we are passionate about, we have total confidence in our abilities. This makes us not worry about failing, because in our mind, how can we fail when we do what we love? Doing what you love is a success in and of itself, so failure is like an impossibility. Think of something that you just do or want to do, no matter what. Something that you do not have second thoughts about. Think about something that you feel you must do and that failure is not even a concern of yours, because the mere act of doing it is like the journey and the destination all wrapped up in one. This may very well be your true passion.

What would you regret not having tried?
We all have these dreams, and somehow, life pushes us in another direction, and next thing we know, we are far from those dreams we used to have. If you were at the end of your life, what would you regret not having pursued? What would you have liked to do, that you didn’t get a chance to? Think about what that might be. Whatever it is that you may experience regret now or later on for not having tried, this is a good chance to be your true passion. There is nothing worse than arriving at the end of the journey and having regret. This is why finding your passion, and following it is so important. Live your life so that you do not have regrets.

How to Find a Hobby

edits by:jourdan, Nicole Willson, Sondra C, Flickety (see all)

Article

EditDiscussHistory

Having a hobby helps to make you a more interesting person and gives you something fascinating to talk about with others. It can also help you to avoid feeling bored and often provides the opportunity to meet new people with similar interests. Learning something new is always good for keeping the mind alert and active, as is maintaining a long-term interest in something that enthralls you. This will also make your more of an interesting person than a person who is addicted to MySpace, watching TV, or doing other time wasting and unhealthy tasks, such as stuffing your gut .

1.  1

Think of a hobby that might interest you. It might be an interest that you always wished you had time to explore, but never had the time or money required to pursue your interest.

2.  2

 A stamp collection

Collect things for a cosmo magazine Look at the walls in your post office, and think about collecting stamps and what you might need to do to start and maintain a stamp collection. Think of other items you might like to collect, for example, coins, dolls or chocolate wrappers. You will need to consider how you will get your collectibles, where you will put them and whether you'll display them. And don't forget to think about swaps with family!

3.  3

Discover art for a hobby. Have you ever gone to a museum, looked at the paintings on the walls, and wondered if you could do the same thing? How about trying painting for yourself - in oils, acrylics or watercolors? Or maybe try drawing with charcoal or colored pencils. One particularly wonderful way to get involved in your community and make art at the same time is to participate in painting a mural. This will last for a long time and everyone in your community will see it and smile.

o   Art does have a long learning curve, don't measure your progress against other people's drawings. Measure it against your own past drawings, date everything, take classes or borrow/buy instruction books and do all the projects. Tracing, measuring methods like using a grid and using photographs as references are not "cheating." There is no cheating in art, unless it's breaking the rules of a specific contest.

4.  4

Write novels and short stories. Every year an online novel writing group at http://www.nanowrimo.org gets together to turn the world's loneliest art form into something like the Boston Marathon. If you ever wanted to write a book, go ahead and give it a try. That's the biggest but there are other online writing challenges and writing groups you can get along with. Many areas also have offline writing groups. Print on Demand technology has made self publishing a volume of your poetry, your novel or your stories reasonably priced for a hobbyist. Like art, there's a learning curve to getting good enough at this for more than your immediate friends and family to like it, but time will improve every hobby and only you know the story you want to tell.

5.  5

 Team sport

Enjoy sport as a hobby. Watch soccer, basketball, golf, athletics or tennis tournaments on television or at your local sports ground. Do you feel that a sport is something that you would love to learn? Think about what it would cost, and the time it would take to learn and play. Do you have the funds available for this type of hobby? Would you have the patience it would take to really learn to play or train for any of these sports? Would you rather play a team sport or an individual sport? Maybe there are friends or family members who already have equipment and uniforms you can have, as well as tips for how to begin your chosen sport. Ask them about their experiences and listen to their suggestions.

6.  6

 A restored vintage fully transistorized Vega 312 stereo radiogram (early 1970s)

Maybe electronics is the hobby for you?But electronics as hobby is not single and solid; it has many different interesting branches. Amateur radio, audio, microcontrollers, robotics, and the restoration of various vintage equipment are a few examples. But it's up to you which of these branches to choose - or combine several if you wish!

7.  7

Take up an outdoor activity. Maybe you are an "outdoors" person, someone who would enjoy outdoor hobbies, such as fishing, hiking, flying remote controlled model airplanes or kites in the park, water skiing, camping or cycling. Think about how much you like different kinds of weather (hot, cold, rain, sun, snow etc.) and getting close to nature. If this sounds like something you would really enjoy doing, then investigate how you could start learning one or more of these activities. Often these outdoors activities will have a club you can join, or you could get your friends together and try an outdoors activity as a group.

8.  8

 Browse a Craft Store

Take up an indoor activity. Maybe you are more of an "indoors person". Perhaps you'd enjoy knitting, sewing, doing puzzles and jigsaws, painting, making ceramics etc. Browse around a craft store and find various craft ideas and supplies. Ask friends and family if they have craft supplies and patterns that they're not using. Other places to look for ideas include games stores, toy stores, hobby stores, your local library or activity center and school.

9.  9

Combine indoor and outdoor activities. Of course, there's nothing that says you can't be both an indoors and an outdoors person! Maybe in summer you love to cycle and in winter you love to make matchstick castles. Think about which seasons you would like to enjoy your hobby in.

10.                                      10

 Miniatures to make

Take up woodworking. Look through the Internet at various woodworking hobbies. Things such as toys, desk top items, furniture, games etc. are all ideas to make out of wood. If you have a work room in a garage, perhaps you would like to buy a project kit like a miniature doll house and build and decorate it all yourself. You might even enjoy making the miniature furniture yourself instead of buying it ready-made.

11.                                      11

Consider miniatures. Miniature trains, racing cars, toy soldiers, gaming pieces etc. are an intriguing hobby that will include painting, construction work, craft and more. Making miniatures suits someone with an eye for detail and a lot of patience. This hobby can be as elaborate or as simple as you like; many of the best miniatures are made from things you find around the house and use your imagination to turn into something else.

12.                                      12

Try browsing through wikiHow. There are a lot of articles to read, and some are very interesting!

13.                                      13

Wait until you have researched the initial cost, and the long term expense and time needed before jumping into a hobby. Make sure you can afford it, and have the time to spare. As you begin, start small. For instance, you can do a lot of astronomy with the naked eye. If you have learned and continued with that, the next step should be purchasing a good set of binoculars. Invest in the fancy telescope only when you are sure you are committed.

14.                                      14

Search the Internet or visit a local library or community center for more information. Look for information related to the hobby you are interested in. Find out if you would have to buy supplies via Internet, or if you have suppliers that live in your area. If there is something on the Internet that you want and you don't have a credit card, ask a parent or a friend to help you. Sometimes even a store owner is the person to ask, as they can order the supplies in for you using their own contacts.

15.                                      15

Get a coach. For example if you always wanted to be competitive in swimming find a swim coach. You are never too old to start.

16.                                      16

Get started on your hobby! Once you have decided which hobby best suits you in every way and you have bought or borrowed the equipment, clothing, tools and anything else you need, it is time to get it happening. Expect to start slowly at first, while learning, so have patience. You might even find a club to join and meet others with similar interests. This is a great way to make friends and to exchange ideas.

17.                                      17

Display your hobby or compete. Once you become very good at your chosen hobby, you might like to enter competitions to test your skills or to display your work. Think of sports competitions, fairs or shows for craft and artwork, club meetings for show-and-tell or perhaps even a school or college event is a good chance to show off your skills.

18.                                      18

Go to the book store. Look in the magazine section and see if there is anything you find interesting. If there is, for example you like Newsweek, maybe a job in politics.

EditTips

·        At the beginning, think about what hobby you don't think you would like. It will reduce search terms.

·        Before you get involved starting your hobby, find a place to work on it, and to store it if done indoors. Even outdoors hobbies that need equipment will require storage space - hockey sticks, soccer balls, boots, bicycles, tents etc. all have to go somewhere when you're not using them.

·        Make sure you hobby will not take away the time you need to spend with your family and friends. Involve them if you can and ask them to come and watch you play sport or to see your work on display.If you don't have much money at the start of your hobby, begin very small or find a hobby that doesn't cost anything. Borrow things from other people - often older people have tried a hobby and no longer care for it and they can give the items to you. Another way to make money is to sell the items that you have created in your hobby. This will work for hobbies such as craft, artwork and woodwork. It will have to be good quality though, so make sure you're good at it first.

·        Supplies for virtually any hobby will be much more affordable (and environment friendly) if obtained used instead of new.

·        Once you pursue a hobby for any length of time, you'll get good at it. Often you may reach a point where it can pay for itself such as selling art or crafts, coaching other athletes, writing articles, teaching others or displaying it for admission in the case of very extensive railroad setups. This is a good way to keep costs down.

EditWarnings

·        Do not start a hobby that would be expensive to start and maintain if you have to use money budgeted for family expenses or a college fund for you or your children;

·        Never steal supplies for your hobby - do not make negative image around your hobby;

·        Regardless of what your hobby is, study safety rules related to it and obey them strictly.

·        Always get the best instructions on how to make things or do them. If it is sport, be very careful to warm up properly and do not attempt to do anything difficult unless you have had proper training. If it is making something, read the instructions carefully and be patient. If you are handling anything dangerous, either seek assistance from someone else like a parent, colleague or professional or follow the instructions exactly.

·        Gambling is not a hobby, and it could become an obsession and cost you dearly in the long run.

·        Don't get too hooked on the hobby or you might go broke or lose relationships with the ones you love.

·        Your hobby shouldn't be at the expense of your study or your work.

·        When you get good at your hobby, seriously weigh the choice of "going professional.* It may stop being fun or relaxing when you need to meet deadlines and keep consistent professional quality. If you do go professional, look for a new hobby that's unrelated to take its place as something you relieve stress with and have no expectations of anything but enjoyment with.

Maturity is not dependent on age. You can be mature at the age of 12 if you know what matters in life. As you get older your experiences and learned behaviors will shape who you are.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1.      

o   1

Experience more. Traveling around the world to visit foreign cultures can help open your mind to the way different people think. Getting involved in groups and hobbies can help you develop your social skills. Spending time with other people will teach you how to be more mature.

o   2

Change your interests. Move on from video games and reality shows. Let go of the gossip and worthless blabber. Be interested in things that matter and affect the overall good of people.

o   3

Change the way you think and talk. There is a big difference between the way a child and an adult speaks. Speak with confidence and reason. Make your decisions based on reason instead of emotions.

o   4

Pray for Wisdom. God gives wisdom and understanding to those who ask for it (Proverbs 8). Just ask God and He will give it to you.

o   5

Take on more responsibility. To be more mature you should look for ways to take on more responsibility. You can do this in every part of your life. Find more ways to be responsible for things in your house. Ask for more responsibility at work. Take responsibility for the choices you make in life. Don't blame others for your circumstances.

o   6

Do things for yourself. It's easy to pass off a task or a job to other people. Instead of taking the easy way out start doing things for yourself. Learning how to complete more tasks will make you more mature and increase your confidence. If you don't know how to do something don't be afraid to learn.

o   7

Care about other people. Selfishness is a common ingredient in immature people. Care about other people's needs and help other people be successful.

o   8

Be more self aware. Many people struggle with understanding themselves. To be mature, you need to understand why you have the opinions that you have and why you do the things you do. Be able to express your feelings and communicate them effectively.
