Most people here seem like me, they agree that long term plans rarely work. If that's so then much time, effort and sleep are wasted by many people on planning, so why do it? Some people even spend their lives making plans and never acting. Tom Jones hit it spot on, the direction is important, not a...

Let's see if they publish and tackle awkward questions in an open manner. If they do then it's a positive step. If it's just a publicity puff then it's not. uaekid that's not being negative that's suspending judgement until we see the results, understood? stop getting defensive already. I for one wo...

The Philippines Government do care about their overseas workers, despite the massive economic and social problems at home. It's a pity the Indian/Pakistani/Bangla governments don't.

That is new info for me. I have to revise my thought process ;) I take your word for it then. Thats cool, and it is the actual situation. The problem was simply the Government not building more sewage treatmnt plants when they first saw the phenominal increase in population in Dubai, starting a few...

Because the Philippines are professional about providing a labour force for the world, they train them at home to go out and work overseas (and on the seas, there are a huge number of Filipino seamen working worldwide).

Great Advice speedhump, so ur saying act on your impulses, long term planning is just a waste of a lifetime..........cause ultimately it's all about the journey not the destination eh? I getting this feeling I'm wasting my life, planning for my future, spending way too much time focussing on my car...

Speedhump, I applaud you. Obviously your insight comes from experience, which is the greatest teacher of life. MCL: don't spend too much time asking yourself what if and looking back at yesterday, focus on today otherwise you can miss an opportunity of a life time. I am very grateful for what I hav...

HI RK, I never said I despise talk of money, where on earth did that come from? Only upper class twits say talking about money is vulgar. My point was that it belongs in business forums of which there are several on Dubai Forums. It's your job to make them better read if you want to use this site as...

Have you always had a plan on how your life should be like, Or have you just gone wherever life led you? Do we always need a plan? Have you now become who you wanted to be when you were young? If yes, how did you make it? Do the above questions make sense? I had always been dreaming, wishing, plann...

MCL, did you know it's sometimes much easier to open up with complete strangers than with your family. The fear of embarrassment (or maybe even repercussions) is far less! Close friends are the best though, if you have them. Mine have almost always been girls, strange! That's friends, not girlfriend...

It's a problem now that people live so long. You can still be responsible for your parents even when you are in your fifites and sixties (seventies???)! Many older people now anyway want their own freedom and are happy to live alone. Whether it's good or bad, the split up of the cross generation fam...

A lot of parents grew up with huge financial insecurity, they don't want their kids to suffer the same way hence their terror at the thought that their children may not have a stable life (including job!). I'm not defending it, merely acknowleding. As Bora says, you have to talk them out of it :D p....

I just remembered another Greenaway film I didn't see for a long time, A Zed and Two Noughts. It's more about finding a way to cope with the tragedy of grief after loss than about romance, but it's an incredible film.

In the Philippines there are many people of all ages living on the streets. There is huge unemployment, I think portland will confirm. That's why they are incredibly proud of their huge overseas workforce sending money home to their families. Their greatest export is people and lovely people they ar...
