Have you ever felt so frustrated when you have to choose a present for your friends or family? I bet you have felt so. Of course, choosing a perfect gift is not an easy task. You have to be in their shoes, imagining what they might like. It is not a big problem if they tell you what they would love to have as a present. If not? You will have to spend a significant amount of time if you want to give them something memorable.  Here is how I choose the gifts. Set the price range. People usually forget to decide the price range they can afford first. Of course, the price range is the most important step in choosing a gift. I bet we don't want to fantasize a gift we will never be able to afford. Therefore, first of all, set a price range -- how much you are willing to spend on that gift. Think of the purpose of your gift. Why do I want to give him/her a gift? The simple answer will be something like "Because it's his/her birthday" or "I feel like I have to g...

As I said in Part 1, I learned something more than my intolerable habits. The lesson I learned is that people always take in only a small amount of information and make their choices and decisions. The first example would be me. I just absorbed little information and decided what was going on. At last, I hurt someone whom I should not have hurt from the start.

That friend also  knew little; however, he decided that it was all my fault. I cannot blame on him either. Yes, according to what he heard, it is true that I was the one who hurt my friend.

You can call me anything; however, I want to let you know that you do not need to constantly remind or accuse me how bad I am. And, thank you fo...

I still remember that someone told me not to "overdo things". (I will refer to that someone as a *he* since I don't want to type *he/she* every single time.) The actual story went this way: One of my guy friend was wooing one of my girl friend. Well, I think I will have to say that guy friend is quite sensitive. He tried to interpret every single word and movement of that girl. Actually, I was not really biased at first. Yes, I told him what the effective ways of wooing girls. However, I never told my girl friend that she had to return his feelings. ONE DAY, his SAT exam was approaching. That dummy was not studying at all. He was so-called madly in love with her. Well, don't ask me! I don't believe his words! I knew that it was just a temporary crush. Anyway, at some point of their chats, the girl said something that made that dummy think that she rejected him completely. Yes, he started to get really depressed to the point where he was thinking not to take the...
