Am I doing something wrong at work? I'm hardly getting any hours? :/?
By now you should have worked out that the world deos NOT owe you a living & those who don't ask don't get ... there is no cosmic force for 'fairness' or 'justice' ... if you want more hours, you need to start 'believing in yourself' & then go speak to your boss about what extra training / experience you need to do to get more hours ... I'm guessing that if you can't manage facing your boss, you are not projecting a 'confident' / ' capable' face to the public ... you need to get over your shyness = if you can't, maybe working in a jovb that has to deal with the public is not for you
Have you ever done something to help someone else get out of serious trouble? What did you do? Was it worth it?
I’ve done this several times, but one stands out in my mind.I had been working with a very kind man who had a business that helped people find rental housing. He had a nice wife and two young children. I didn’t know much about his personal life. He was smart and entrepreneurial.One day I came in and told him that I’d seen some information about Jay Abraham, the marketing genius. It was several volumes of his material that were being offered for $300. I wanted to learn from Abraham, but couldn’t afford that. This was in the mid 80’s, long before the Internet. He said “I have that set, and you can have it!” I could hardly believe my ears! He brought it the next day, and I started studying it intensely for the next few weeks.Then he came in one day to tell me a real life horror story that had happened to his family, the week before. The police swat team knocked on his door, with guns drawn, for the offense of investing in a property and not living in it, but renting it out. He was taken to jail, and his poor family left traumatized.I don’t recall the exact details, but he gave me their passports, and asked me to keep them until he was released on bail. In a short time, he contacted me, and I gave him the passports. He never told me where he was going to take his family, but I never saw him again.I wish I’d been able to stay in contact, but that wasn’t possible, considering the circumstances. I always hope that someday we’ll re-connect, maybe even on Quora. I know that I saved that man from a prison term which he didn’t deserve, and helped to keep his family together. And yes, it was worth it to help his family escape to another country.
My neighbors hardly let their dog out?
My neighbors hardly let their dog out but when they do they set it by a Bush right outside their door and literally yell at it to go tot the bathroom until it does. Never once seen them walk their dog. is their something I can do to help the poor thing ? I don’t believe they abuse it but it’s sad it hardly sees the day light
My mother gets drunk everytime we do something special?
She lives alone, and a few months ago she got so drunk that she could hardly walk, and she kept peeing all over the place. Thank goodness I went to go weed wack her house, and found her on the ground. I had my grandma, and grandpa come up, and help me deal with her. My mom kepped telling me to leave her alone, but I refused and stayed the night. The next day she was saying she just cant drink anymore. It seemed so sincere, and I thought that was the end, of it, but now shes wanted and sitting by the stereo crying while everyone else is talking, and (trying) to have a good time. Me and my family are just so sick of it. I said countless times I would pay for a counselor so that she could talk to someone experienced with this subject, but she just blows it off. Anyone else ever have a family member like this? I'm afraid shes iether going to die from alcohol poisoning or get drunk and kill herself.
I can hardly make decisions myself.......?
I just can't seem to decide ANYTHING for myself. What to eat... What to wear... What to buy... What to do when I'm bored... I don't get it! I have a project going and I need to pick out fabric to make something with and I found some things I like but then now I can't make a decision. I want to call my husband but I really should do this myself. I ask him about EVERYTHING! I have these items in my "cart" on this website and now I'm just going over it and over it wondering if this is a good choice. WHY!!!??? Is this a "mental health" thing???? Disorder? Other times I seem to be in control or even controlling of situations (like planning the day etc) so I don't know.
Why do some people hardly ever complain even when they have something to complain about?
I’m one of those people, and my reason is simple. Complaining is focusing on negative experiences. The more you focus on negative experiences - which everybody has to one degree or another - the more negative your life becomes. It spoils your life - past, present, and future. It also, in my opinion, inhibits creativity and kindness.I try to let the past be the past and to give people the benefit of the doubt. Believe me, I wasn’t born this way; I learned it over many years, and didn’t fully adopt it until I reached a really low point in my life where I felt miserable about everything. Then a little voice in my head said, “Do you really want to live this way?” and I thought NO. So I changed my attitude. It took a long time but it’s made my life so much better.If I buy a defective product, I’ll take it back for a refund or exchange. If I see something happening that seems very wrong to me, and I can do something about it, I’ll probably try to fix it/talk to the person politely. But in my book, that’s not complaining. The idea of “having something to complain about” doesn’t really parse for me, because complaining isn’t fixing.
Grammar Help- Can't hardly wait... or... Can hardly wait???
To that first answer you received.....grammatically or gramatically?? "Can hardly wait" is the GRAMMATICALLY correct way.
How do you manage yourself when things aren't going your way?
To start with, what's your definition of management?Case 1- Being happy in spite of things going wrong.Case 2- Repairing things in your life.Case1:I've undergone some serious setbacks in life including deaths and betrayals. Remember that there's no repairing these situations. I can't bring people back to life or change the fact that someone has betrayed me.I wouldn't say I was happy when things went wrong. I broke down. I crashed. I was clueless and yearned for someone to pull me out of such a situation.Probably the only pro of it was it made me go about the things I like doing aggressively. Remember that these include things I only "like" doing. I could hardly do other daily activities without being distracted or lost.Did I manage it? No! I just survived it.Case 2:Every time I knew something could be corrected, I was not worried at all. There were times I failed subjects or lost matches. I knew there's a way back to it. They'd not shake me a bit. Instead, they'd only be reality checks. Every time I failed at something, I'd ask myself if I really wanted to succeed. If I wanted, I went at them repeatedly until I succeeded.So, for either cases, JUST HANG ON! I won't promise things will get better but at least you know you haven't give up. When the storm is over, you know you've survived it. You know you're your hero.
