Do our words really matter? What influence do they have on our lives?

I think most of us don't fully understand the power of the words we use on us. Language defines us, reveals us and demonstrates our routine priorities. For example, the word 'bored' never comes into my vocabulary because I simply have too much to do to have time for that.

10 things I Dislike About the World We Live In...Which ones are yours? (Poll)

The things which annoy me tend to be those that rob us of our humanity, which do not build, but merely destroy, and which detach us from our world, like the following: 1.

Should You go Grey Naturally or Dye Your Hair as You Age? (Poll)

Many older women often worry about whether to dye their hair or not. But it shouldn't be any kind of issue. Dying one's hair is like any fashion statement: we go with what makes us comfortable. We do not have any angst about dying our hair in different shades when we are younger.

Nope. That question was asked of me yesterday, and I thought it would make a good talking point especially as some men, to boost their ego, like to think they are good lovers.

Would You Want To Live Forever? (Poll)

The thought is very tantalising: to live on and on, without ever having to worry about death, but the practical consequences of this would be enormous. Nature operates on a definite cycle with birth and death at either end.

Dating Tips for Shy Single People

Shyness is a fear of interacting with others. My hero Denzel Washington once said in a film, "A person wrapped up in himself makes a very small package!" Indeed. Shy people and unhappy people have one thing in common: they mainly focus upon themselves.

What do you think of this new nickname for Michelle Obama? (Poll)

Apparently, a new abbreviation has recently emerged for Michelle Obama: FLOTUS (meaning First Lady of The United States). What do you think of the acronym?  Personally, I think it has a beautiful 'floaty' feminine sound.

The Secret in Getting Other People to Change!

I bet you have heard an excited, newly engaged, person say something like: 'It's annoying when he just leaves me and goes out with his friends to the pub on Thursday nights, but, as soon as we're married, that's going to stop.' Or 'I have noticed how she flirts wit …

One good reason to visit London in 2012: To meet a certain London Ambassador for the Olympic Games!

At the start of 2012, it is a good time to ask: Will President Obama enjoy a second term in the White House? (Poll)

For me, there has never been any doubt. Even in the midst of his worst unfavourable ratings, I felt the President would be still in the White House for a second term. I knew, by their callous, self serving and immature actions, that the Republicans would keep him there.
