More than 100 years ago, author Robert Louis Stevenson offered the following tips for maintaining a positive attitude. They still apply today.
1- Make up your mind to be happy. Learn to find pleasure in simple things.
2- Make the best of your circumstances. No one has everything, and everyone has something of sorrow intermingled with gladness of life. The trick is to make the laughter outweigh the tears.
3- Don't take yourself too seriously. Don't think that somehow you should be protected from misfortune that befalls other people.
4- You can't please everybody. Don't let criticism worry you.
5- Don't let your neighbor set your standards. Be yourself.
6- Do the things you enjoy doing but stay out of debt.
7- Never borrow trouble. Imaginary things are harder to bear than real ones.
8- Since hate poisons the soul, do not cherish jealousy, enmity, grudges. Avoid people who make you unhappy.
9- Have many interests. If you can't travel, read about new places.
10- Don't hold postmortems. Don't spend your time brooding over sorrows or mistakes. Don't be one who never gets over things.
11- Do what you can for those less fortunate than yourself.
12- Keep busy at something. A busy person never has time to be unhappy.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Tomorrow, February 14th, is Valentine's day the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other.
Tomorrow, February 7th, 2008 is the first day of the year of the rat, according to the Chinese lunar calender. Tonight, New Year’s Eve, families will gather for the biggest holiday season it called reunion dinner. Fireworks will light up the sky all through the night and continuing for the rest of the week. Families will enjoy a big dinner together and watch special TV shows with China’s top performers. In some ways, the Chinese Spring Festival can be compared to the Christmas season, as it is a real family holiday. The Spring Festival ends two weeks later (this year on February 21) with the Lantern Festival.
For some people, this will be the only time in the year that they can get together with their families.
This reminds me Norouz in Iran.

We cry for those who never care for us
And we care for those who will never cry for us
A couple have a perfect marriage and a worry-free life until their daughter goes missing ... It is a nice movie, I liked it.
I read this in a newspaper, It is quiet interesting.
Are you a procrastinator,constantly daydreaming and goofing off? Cut it out. Go to work with an attitude that you are here to ..... that's right, work.
Get things done promptly so that you can go home instead of staying on for several extra hours in the evening to finish what you should have done in the morning .
If you are done for the day, leave. Forget about looking good to your boss by putting in unpaid overtime. If your manager thinks that only employees who stay late are good employees, make an appointment for a one-to-one meeting where you can list your projects and discuss how efficiently you have been working.
Remember that in some countries, employees who don't leave the office at five on the dot are perceived as incompetent individuals who can't cope with their work.
