Trying to avoid now

One of the things I am trying to avoid these days is to acquire another debt again. Who wants to be in debt, right? I have been in various situations where I had to ask for loans from relatives and friends and even from financial institutions. I was sending siblings to school and my salary [...]

Personality

The quote above about personality reminded me of a TV show I watched where a couple was talking about love. The man said that in the twilight of their lives, where sex is no longer part of the equation in a relationship and physical beauty is no longer what men look for, it’s the personality [...]

Homeworks and project assignments
