23岁以后的女人哲学

1、你的衣服不用以量取胜,收起那些不合时宜的蕾丝、花边或者娃娃衫,从今天起你得保证挂在衣柜里的每一件衣服都有不错的质地、得体的款式和适合自己的颜色。

2、可以没有闲钱去健身房,但你可以天天爬楼梯而不是乘电梯;可以没有兰蔻、倩碧或雅诗兰黛,但是你得记住,不沾烟酒、避免熬夜、好好睡眠都可以让你的肌肤变得美丽;可以不做水疗SPA,但是你得记住绿茶、牛奶、白水这些多多益善。

3、可以相信爱情,乐意听男人的甜言蜜语。但是务必保证一只耳朵进另一只耳朵出,切莫把这些毒药放在心里。认真游戏,但必须牢记只能游戏。优秀的男人固然值得珍惜,如果是挂上已婚的标签,记住这不是你能消费的起的,看看,然后不带一丝眷恋的离开。

4、珍惜自己的美丽,并同时不断充实自己的内涵。多看书,多学习。社会、人文、政治、财经、时尚、家庭……上天没有赐你一张漂亮的脸,但你可以给自己挣一颗智慧的心。花瓶易碎,红颜易老,唯有你的内涵弥久历新。

5、可以享受收到礼物的惊喜。但你要牢记天下没有免费的午餐,对于男人过于贵重的礼物,你用什么身份来接受它?妻子?女友?如果都不是,你要想清楚,接受它意味着怎样的付出。自己喜欢的东西努力自己买,不要指望男人送。

6、可以纯真,但不能天真;可以简朴,但不能简单。可以不擅长家务,但起码也要能看懂家用电器的使用说明书。对于别人无私的帮助,抱着感恩的心,对于别人的冷漠,抱有平常的心。

7、要把钱花在刀刃上。舍得给自己买很好的内衣和鞋子。外表的光鲜亮丽是穿给别人看的,穿的是虚荣;内在的贴身之物是穿给自己的,穿的是舒服。一个女人最美的优雅体现在内。

8、说话要符合身份。嗲声嗲气不是你应有的标签,你可以没知识,但不能没素质。可以不认同,但必须学会尊重。永远不向以前的恋人诉苦,愤怒之前心里数到20再说话。

9、也许你单身,也许你已嫁了个好男人。这些都不是最重要的,重要的是你不能有依赖思想,不能事事指望他人。自己能挣上万的高薪固然好,能挣两千的薪水也不错,起码,你有能力养活自己,这就是你的骄傲。
10、学会珍惜生活给予你的一切。被爱是幸福的财富,爱人是快乐是付出。假如他离开了你,微笑着给他祝福,宁愿骄傲的孤单,也不委屈的喜欢。善待自己,宽容他人。责任心、包容心、自信心一个都不能少。

1000 BAD THINGS

There are blogs about money, about their personal lives, about cars, about house, about moms.

In contrast to 1000 awesome things happen to your life http://1000awesomethings.com/, I found a blog calls "1000 unlucky days" http://1000unluckyday.blogspot.com

Very interesting indeed. True...there are great moments, and there are worst moments too.

BUY or RENT

BUY OR RENT???
Currently, I do not own or rent. I am pretty sure everyone will come across this questions some time in their life and have different opinions on it depending on your ages, your financial capability, your knowledge, your experiences etc...
But everyone should really start thinking about this matter NOW! 

First of all, how do you feel about renting? 
Perhaps to you, rent is merely a cost of living. For me, NO. I think renting is just a waste of money! Just invest the money in the house, instead of "donating" the money to other homeowner! Of course, this applies to only people who are settling down, not for people who are all over the world.

Second, do you feel like having a house of your own?
I mean besides having to pay monthly cost, you will have other random fees coming as well, such as electricity, water, internet and cable, garbage and waste, new bed, new dresser, new desk, new chair, new dining set, new couch, new washer and dryer, new blind, new pillows, new lamp, new kitchen utensils, new TV, new shoes rack, new mat, new fridge, furnace repairs and the list goes on.<GASP!> Alright, I guess even if I have the money to buy a house, I wouldn't have extra money for all these other things. However, these costs are worth paying I guess. At the end, everything belongs to ME ME ME! Haha. So yes, I feel like having a house of my own!

Third, what would you gain the most from being a owner of a house?
Independence? Stability? Flexibility? Freedom? Investment? Privacy? Family? I vote for all?

Last question, would you rather pay for housing mortgage for 30  years ++ or rent a house and spend the money elsewhere. I vote for the first one myself! I feel secure having a house first, then spend the extra money on something else. Personally I think it is a smart decision over a long term!

Indecisive

Making a decision can be hard, especially when it can affect the rest of your life. I am now making a decision, which could turn into my career for the rest of my life: choosing a final focus for my forth year nursing program.

Choices:

Mental Health = I fell in love with mental health the very first moment, because of the awesome instructor I have. We had so much fun together, the group was great, we had tours around the city... I love the fact that we don't have to wear a scrub to work, and I don't have to go crazy trying to memorize and perform the appropriate nursing skills. All you have to do is talk to the patient. But at the end, my instructor did remind me that as English is my second language, it would be a huge challenge for me to be in mental health field/

Adult Health =  I don't know. I don't really want to get stuck in general medicine or whatsoever, but if I can choose oncology or othopedic...that would be cool right...i want to work in the operating room too, which some people had mentioned is quite a work...as you stand there all day long. But OR would be something that i should consider? since i want to experience something different!

Seniors Health =  Nah...for sure I would not choose this as my final focus. I am already working in a nursing home for more than 2 years. Very possible that I can get a casual position there as well, so no thanks.

Child Health = I had the opportunity to go to the ER and experienced how it felt to be working in the emerg. I think I really want emerg now! But I sucked at communication, so nevermind. The acute placement was actually not bad either. But my instructor did not make it fun at all. So it is still a 50/50??

Newborn Health = The reason being that I do like seeing new moms and babies. And I am really confident of my skills in newborn/maternity. I really do! And I like cuddling with babies too. And the way my instructor pushed me to the max, made me feel like it is an easy task for me! But...I have a doubt. I did not like babies before, now I like them?? And really I do not want to teach breastfeeding all the time!

Community Heath = I always want something easy. A job from 9 to 5, instead of shift work, a job that only requires business outfit instead of the ugly scrub, a job where i could really take it easy, my actions would not have impact to the person directly, i prob won't make too much mistake...I want to sit there and give immunization to people...EASY! But my friend just reminded me that before vending into or getting stuck into a field for the rest of your life, you might take advantage from the final focus and gain something from it. Good point. So no community health for now?

So what, should I pick emergency? I am thinking a million of reason not to choose you, but I have never thought of a reason to get into emergency...
