      Before telling personal story, must put out this clause huh? Sure or not no talent? Always missing from class for the glory of school name. šŸ˜›

        lovekidsverymuch:
        ks2me:

        So it is clear me that if anything should go wrong in a healthy(i.e. no abuse, no battering, little bickering) marriage, it is never the 3rd party that is at fault(unless there is motive for one to be framed), it will always be the loser mindset of the betraying spouse.


        Yes right there shouldnt be abuse etc for which it wont be EMA it will be maybe 2nd marriage all together... but in normal circumstances its the person with very very low mindset that one need to betray the spose šŸ˜„

        Hi 5! :celebrate:

                ks2me:

                the only question I have is, you feel that such a focus on one's goal to stay from temptation is more of nature than nurture? Or did I misunderstand your statement?

                I tend to believe more in nature than nurture.

                Babies with so different temperaments, like kids with different level of IQ/EQ.

                If born with certain qualities in nature, spend 10% effort can yield 90% reward. If don't have that kind of nature, it is not said that 'no hope' but then maybe 90% effort and yield 10% reward kind.

                Some kids are just sensible. Don't need to talk much or talk once or twice they will know what to do. For kids who are not sensible, then can keep nagging and nagging and if lucky enough, can see them inch a few mm forwards.

                Above is always my firm belief... (and I ever wrote an about 20 pages research report on that about Nature and Nurture).

                Yes I agree..nature must come first before nurture can bring it up to its actual potential. To me, good attributes born naturally without proper nurturing is wasted, and good nurturing without naturally born good attributes hits its limitation after a while. A friend I know works with prisoners. Not all of them can be reformed as they are simply born with some limitations to cross over their own barriers. Took her many years and those cases simply have to be dropped eventually and she shared that if not for those successful cases, this is a very rough and tough path to travel for her, very draining on herself.

                Would be good that when you have time to share more about what you wrote in your research about nature versus nurture.

                  There is no need to salute lah. You gave me a lasting impression. Of course I remember. Maybe, that is the reason why, very difficult to shake of that boy, despite your braces and all. šŸ˜›

                      Just an update on silly young chap at work. Found out he is neighbour with the company COO. Before rumour, insinuation hits me, I get his mentor to tell him my age. There! Solve my problem.

                      I must thank the Giant's supermarket aunty for refusing to give flower to me on mother's day, insisting it was meant for mother's only. I was clueless liao, why there is always misconception. I already live like a hermit, clothing already okayed by dh & son (no short skirt, no low neck). Now I can work quietly surrounded by my well minded colleague.
