What's the Deal With Women and Romantic Movies?

Monday December 7, 2009

I love soppy romantic movies. Especially the candy floss variety where there is a handsome young man wooing the petite beauty. Throw in a courtship drama with the inevitable wedding scene, and there! You have romance oozing out of the movie.

Casablanca, Titanic, Dirty Dancing, Pretty Woman, Love Actually, The Notebook, and A Walk to Remember. These are a few of my favorites. In the young love category, movies like Happy Feet, No Reservations, and 27 Dresses top my list. These movies typically have a "happily ever after" ending.

If you enjoy romantic movies, don't miss out on reading these movie love quotes. Rekindle the fire in your relationship with these passionate love quotes. When you are a die-hard romantic, love always has a happy ending.

Learn More About Me

Saturday December 5, 2009

When you are asked to introduce yourself, do you begin by listing your qualifications or your occupation?

Most of us do, and when asked further, "So who are you really?" the question leaves us stumped. A few of us make feeble attempts to answer by listing our preferences, but that still does not completely describe us. Also, such questions leave us squirming with discomfort as we are not prepared to face the truth about our own identity.

Here is a chance to get to know the most important person in your life: You. Read these about me quotes and try to decipher your personality. It is a tough task to summarize yourself, but it's worth a try.

Ancient secrets and wisdom are passed through generations in the form of stories, folk songs, and cultural activities. African proverbs contain the wisdom of past generations.

Tennyson Muses: "I Am a Part of All That I Have Met."

Tuesday December 1, 2009

Think about it. How many new people do you meet every week? One? Ten? Hundred? Depending upon the nature of your vocation or occupation, you may be meeting anywhere from five to five hundred people everyday. You forget the faces, but some impressions remain. Do these people influence you?

In the poem Ulysses, Alfred Lord Tennyson said, "I am a part of all that I have met." This implies that we are constantly reshaping our personality on the basis of our experiences. Some experiences are strong enough to leave a deep impression. The ones that are insignificant affect us on a subconscious level and leave subtle impressions.

Hence it becomes imperative that we surround ourselves with people who are likely to leave a positive impact on our psyche. No negative minded, good-for-nothing people, but caring friends who will help us find eternal love and happiness.
