How should you respond to an apology letter received several years after an offense?
As you mentioned, apologizing takes guts, even if it comes later than was appropriate. The fact that it has been on the person's mind for awhile means that although it may not have been a big deal to you, it was to them. I feel that acknowledging the effort is important. I would say something along the lines of"Thank you so much for thinking to write to me after all this time - it means a lot." Depending on the issue, I may say pretty much what you did in the description - that it you haven't been harboring bad thoughts about this person all this time, and that you merely found the comment to be insensitive. If there is a chance here to educate the person further on the topic - possibly in order to help them understand the issue or yourself - think of it as an opportunity to help them avoid making a similar social blunder in the future.I don't think your response has to be long. A short, sincere thank you should suffice. if this is a relationship that you would like to continue or mend, you could extend an invitation to the person...otherwise, just close with a small statement about how you hope they are doing well. We often don't bother to extend these important messages to people we care about, but a simple message reaching out to others can help to foster, maintain, or build valuable relationships. If nothing else, you get the chance to practice your own interpersonal skills here. Take the opportunity!
A decision at the margin?
Marissa is a hard-working college senior. One Thursday, she decides to work nonstop until she has answered 200 practice problems for her math course. She starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of her progress throughout the day. She notices that as she gets tired, it taks her longer to solve each problem. Time: Total Problems Answered: 8:00 AM - 0 9:00 AM - 80 10:00 AM - 140 11:00 AM - 180 Noon - 200 The marginal, or addition, gain from Marissa's first hour of work, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, is: The marginal, or addition, gain from Marissa's third hour of work, from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM, is:
Does a misdemeanor go away? How long does it take?
How long do you have to list it might be a better question. They don't go away. After a certain period of time they are simply not relevant. A misdemeanor a year ago is certainly more ‘serious' than that exact same misdemeanor ten years ago.How long does it need to keep being brought up? That depends on a particular job and its requirements and how the question is asked. But it's always there unless dismissed or expunged or pardoned if someone wants to dig that far and deep into the past.
Why does this girl I picked on through school not want to give me a second chance after I tried so hard to make it up to her?
Depending upon how long and how severe you were when you picked on her, those wounds probably didn’t heal that well.Plus, it’s not like you can go stab someone and say “I’m a better person now” and they’ll instantly forgive you.Forgiveness doesn’t mean friendly relations are soon to follow — that is saying she’s even willing to forgive you to begin with.If I may ask — why do you want to be friends with her now? Guilt? Regret? Those two emotions are extremely transparent and easy to spot, and don’t bode well for you.If you genuinely feel sorry, the best you can do is apologize and move on.Although interestingly enough, there were 2 more questions almost exactly like this one, asked just a few weeks apart, and this one was merged:Why does this girl I picked on through school many years ago still doesn’t want to be friends with me after I proved to her I am a much better person now?About 10 years ago, I picked on this girl through school but now I have proved to her that I am a much better person, but she refuses to give me a second chance. Do you think she is overreacting?Hmmm…
Is it legit to sell my roommates stuff if he hasn't paid rent in 4 months?
My roommate moved in and has been telling us that he's been paying rent all this time along and been sending the checks in separately its been 4 months now and my landlord has called numerous times telling us that she has not received any of his money since he has been staying here...currently he hasn't been home in about a week or so we locked his room with a different door knob so he doesn't have the key and left a note saying that if you didn't pay us the back rent by the end of the week then we would sell it to make up for the missing money is this legit?
What does carry a balance on a credit card mean?
Carrying a balance means to owe money on your credit card passed the grace period. The grace period is usually 20-25 days depending on your credit card. The Grace Period means how many days before the interest is charged on your remaining balance. What Marissia is trying to get you to understand is that lenders and creditors want to see you making consistant payments. It is good to have at least 12-18 months of on time consistant payments. But it is important to keep your balance under at least 30% of your balance. This shows that you can manage your debt and finances well. The reason why someone would tell you to not carry a balance on your credit card is because you are being charged interest on the money that you owe, and depending on your balance, this may put you in a financial bind. Hope this helped. Email me if you have any questions.
My girlfriend said she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. What should I do?
My girlfriend said she doesn’t want to talk to me anymore. What should I do?Personally, I wouldn’t bother with anyone who refuses to communicate an issue, because that is a major sign of immaturity.However, this is not my situation.It depends on the context of the words.If she doesn’t want to talk to you anymore, and has cut off all communication since that statement, it will be sufficient to state that you do not have a girlfriend anymore. It is time to move on.If she says she doesn’t want to talk to you, but is still communicating with you, give her some time to burn out her anger. She’ll come around when she is ready to go. If you know why she is mad enough to stop communication, work on reconciling that issue.
What is it like to be a Filipino-American (Canadian, Australian, etc.) in the Philippines?
Filipinos are one of the most xenophilic cultures on Earth. Mixed marriages is viewed very positively, with a common compliment being “your children will be beautiful.”Because unlike other Southeast Asian or East Asian countries where mixed race children are viewed with contempt or as outsiders and are stereotyped as “G.I. babies”, in the Philippines, mixed Filipinos (mestizos/mestizas) are considered to be the epitome of attractiveness. Especially if you still retain or honor your Filipino side. If you speak any of the native languages fluently, you will be adored, literally. People will immediately treat you like family.A large amount of celebrities (both in traditional media and in social media) are of mixed Filipino descent. Doesn’t matter if it’s recent or from way back during the Spanish/American colonial period. So yeah, you just won the genetic lottery if you’re of mixed descent.Sure this may have a darker origin back to the days when the white Spanish were the upper classes of Filipino society and everyone wanted to look like them, but it’s a net positive nowadays with the increasing globalization. More and more Filipinos are of mixed race or at least of dual nationality, including half of my immediate family.Part of this attitude may have also originated from the fact that the Philippines was always a nation of hundreds of ethnic groups. Intermarriage was common even during the precolonial period, and was a valuable means of securing alliances and exchanging ideas and technologies. The 20% Chinese-Filipino population for example, mostly originated from this assimilation, where Chinese traders intermarried with natives and were absorbed into the culture to the point that they are now almost culturally indistinguishable from the locals.This extends to foreigners who also settle in the Philippines with no Filipino blood. The more you absorb the local culture, the more people will love you. People will actually encourage you to settle down and marry a local.That said, the attention can get a bit overwhelming if you don’t adjust. And people have a tendency to assume you’re rich (though in fairness, it is usually true relatively).
