I tend to check Twitter more than anything else as part of a “routine.” It’s more of a “when I think of it” kind of routine as opposed to as soon as I wake up, before getting out of bed or at a set time.
On weekdays, it’s usually not until I get to work though. Getting ready and driving to work first is my priority.
Absolutely. We all do it, to some extent, including those who appear completely confident and self-sufficient. Sometimes it may not necessarily appear as “approval” but rather just an absence of disproval
I believe all life exists by seeking out “approval” from others; it’s how we ensure that the guy next to us doesn’t kill us. It’s how dogs can work together as a pack. It’s how ants have an entire hierarchy that works in unison. I consider “seeking approval” as being different from “seeking permission,” which I think the majority of people confuse these days with approval.
Humans enjoy receiving recognition for their thoughts, feelings, opinions and actions. It’s entirely what drives us to do any of those things in the first place.
Sport. You name it; I’ve had to play it as part of my high school physical education curriculum. I never really took sport seriously enough though and if something is an interest of mine, I ensure I excel at it. Oh, and I guess there’s also math – I don’t think there was a subject I hated more than math. It bored me to tears and so I didn’t bother applying myself to much more than the bare minimum.
Hard to decide strictly on one or the other; I think if I was going to spend that much time and effort, I would want it to be successful. I’m not comfortable just selling out though. I would like to imagine that something which I wrote as an original piece would champion as the underdog and be successful.
Definitely. I see it happen all to time in social media. I think that some people forget that social media is a different type of “presence.” I’ve seen people get caught into the same traps online as they would do offline – talking behind others backs, etc. and they don’t realise that the Internet is more visible to others and more permanent. It doesn’t just come out at the time and then immediately disappear into the wind… it’s there for a long time, for all to see.
I guess it would have to be departments that are operated overseas. Often people make the assumption that because a small minority of people overseas do a poor job that all of them must be the same. They don’t see it as training gaps; they see it as that particular race of people being less intelligent and useless. For the most part, this country is racist as all hell but neglects to see this. That and they expect high standard of service for low cost – they refuse to pay for what high standards cost.
No. There is no guarantee that every man will die before every woman and medical conditions can impact lifespan also. For example, three years ago I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. This condition, on average, decreases life expectancy by seven to eight years, but that doesn’t mean I should get to retire earlier; I have no hard proof that I will become part of that statistic. Also, people work harder than others and perhaps that should be the deciding factor on retirement – work hard to earn what you deserve and take the rewards for doing so.
There are a few people who inspire me in different ways. Cesar Millan and Lady Gaga are two people who I really appreciate and admire their purpose and motivation behind what they say and do. I take different aspects from each of them but I don’t intend to become just like them in the way that others seem to with their role models.
Lindsay Lohan. Think about it, The Parent Trap and then Mean Girls. Everything in between and since was nothing but dull crap and attention-seeking behaviour. Even though she hasn’t done anything much since Mean Girls, she still manages to make the media interested in reporting about her.
Also, while she is not an actress I will throw Britney Spears into the ring.
I don’t know much about him but from what I recall, he’s the guy arrested for his Facebook article. Considering that when he was arrested he still managed to find time to tweet about it and then after his release tweet that the police still has his iPad… Yes.
That’s like me tweeting that I left my phone at home. No one cares.
