6 Best Topics to Talk About With a Girl    Patrick Banks  

Books, Movies, Music and Art

Let’s face it. You’re not going to have a woman baring her soul to you and sharing her hopes, dreams and deepest fears with you from the get-go. You’ll need to build a whole lot of comfort and rapport before you get there. This is why you need a few conversational topics that are low effort and still engaging to get things started. Getting a woman talking about her favorite books, movies, music or art is a great way to do so.

The trick here, however, is to not ask for too little. For example, if a woman tells you that she loves music, don’t just ask her what her favorite band is. Ask her for two songs from her favorite band that she thinks you should listen to and ask her what those two songs mean to her. Or if a woman tells you that she loves to read, instead of just asking her who her favorite author is, ask her to recommend a book to you and get her to tell you what it’s about.

The People Around You

Sometimes I hear a lot of guys complain saying that they run out of topics to talk about when they’re with a girl that they’re interested in. But here’s the thing. If you pay close attention to your surroundings the chances are that you’ll find more than enough conversational ammunition to last a whole day.

For example, there’s a fun little game that I love playing with girls that I’m out on dates on. I call it the “what’s their story” game. When you’re out on a date with a girl, pick a stranger at random and talk about what you imagine what their story must be like. And then ask your date to tell you her version. Once she gets the hang of it start getting more and more imaginative and ridiculous with your stories. I guarantee that you’ll both have a blast.

Travel

Whenever I’m interacting with a woman I always try to direct the conversation in a direction that’s fun and imaginative. I hate conversations that drab and uninteresting. And if there’s one thing I’ve learned through my experiences with women is that talking about travel always gets them feeling happy and excited.

You see, people love to travel, and those who aren’t able to travel daydream about having either the time or the money to do it. The key here, again, is to ask for more than just an impersonal list of travel destinations.

Ask her where the most exciting place she’s travelled to was and what she loved about it. Or ask her where she would go if she could disappear for an entire month without having to worry about her work or any other responsibilities. These types of conversations will get her imagination firing on overdrive and put her in an uplifted emotional state; both feelings which she will start associating with you.

Her Passions, Her Dreams and Her Goals

Do you remember the last time someone showed genuine interest in your dreams and goals? It’s always such a nice feeling to talk about things that you are passionate about with a person who’s genuinely interested in these things. And here’s the cool thing. Once you’ve built up a certain level of trust and rapport with a woman, all you need to do to find out these things about her is to ask.

Q:

What are the best topics to talk about with a girl?

Do books, movies, music and art are good talking topics?

What are your favorite movies, and music?

How to build a good conversational skills?

How to get a man /a woman feeling happy and excited?

How to show genuine interest in a friends’ dreams and goals?

Corruption starts with campaign funding, Ko says

taipeitimes

By Lee I-chia

Election campaign spending is too high and is where political corruption starts, Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je (柯文哲) said yesterday.

Ko made the remarks while attending a municipal parent-child aerobics fair for preschool children in the city, where reporters asked him whether he is considering mortgaging his apartment to secure funds for his re-election campaign.

“It is hard to run the government [fairly] if I take other people’s money, so I am thinking about how to be an example of how to reduce election campaign spending,” Ko said.

Ko has come under fire after former campaign team members Yao Li-ming (姚立明) and Hsiao Ya-tan (蕭亞譚) were cited by media as saying that his expenses in the run-up to the 2014 Taipei mayoral election were not honestly declared.

Taipei City Government spokesman Liu Yi-ting (劉奕霆) said that Yao held three news conferences during the campaign to explain the team’s income and expenditures, and that the team truthfully declared its spending.

Reporters also asked Ko to comment on cryptocurrency exchange platform OTCBTC founder Cheng Yi-ting’s (鄭伊廷) announcement on Friday evening that she would run for Taipei mayor.

All eight hopefuls are older than 50, the 35-year-old programmer said in her announcement on Facebook, asking whether any of them could bring hope to residents.

“Mental age is more important than the age on your ID,” Ko said, adding that Taipei needs to develop e-commerce.

How to Be Interesting   wikihow

Travel to new places. Take a trip to a different country or continent. Go on a solo tour through a foreign area or travel with friends to a new city. Travelling to new places can help you gain new experiences and broaden your understanding of the world.

    You may decide to go on a trip around the world to really expand your horizons. Or you may choose just one new area to visit for a few days.

    Traveling is a great time to step outside of your comfort zone. You may encounter new and interesting experiences that you wouldn't have if you did what was familiar.

Develop expertise in topics that interest you. Think of a topic or subject that you have always been curious about and focus on learning more. Pick a new interest at random and learn all you can about it. Broaden your existing interests to include things you may know nothing about or have a burning desire to learn about.

    For example, if you are interested in music, you may get involved in online music forums and attend music shows to deepen your interest. Or if you are interested in painting, you may join a painting group to explore your interest in a deeper way.

    If you like to keep up with the news, you may go deeper by reading the texts behind different political theories, such as capitalism, socialism, and anarcha-feminism.

Learn a new skill. Focus on a skill you have always wanted to try or been curious about, such as painting, drawing, crocheting, or dance. Then, teach yourself the skill or take a class on the skill. Having a new skill will help to broaden your experiences and give you something to talk about with others.

    For example, you may take a hip hop dance class if you’ve always been curious about the genre and want to learn something new. Or you may take a still life painting class to get better at painting figures.

    Taking up a new skill can also allow you to meet new people and expand your social network. This can help you learn more about different people and be mo

re interesting.

Tell good stories about your experiences. Be interesting by relying stories in an entertaining way when you talk to people in your friend circle or at parties. Choose a memorable experience from a recent trip or discuss a funny experience at the grocery store. Use a personal story to connect with others and be social.

    Include only the important parts of the story, or the highlights, so your listeners are entertained.

    Use your body and your voice when telling the story so it is engaging. Talk with your hands, maintain eye contact, and create a character with your voice.

    Show pictures of your unique experiences too! Keep these on your phone for easy access when you need them.

 Connect with others about common interests. When talking to others, try to find out what you have in common. Talking about shared interests will engage the other person and make them more interested in getting to know you.

Q:

How to be interesting?

How often do you travelling?

How to develop expertise?

Hoe to taking up new skills?

How to meet new people and expand your social network?

How to share common interests with others?

The Messy, Dangerous Task of Cleaning Up After Dead Bodies

wired.com

People die every day. Whether by natural causes, murder or suicide, the one thing you can count on is death. The unlucky ones die without family or friends surrounding them, alone. Inevitably even these forgotten corpses are noticed. Perhaps a neighbor notices a foul smell emanating from the house next door. The police arrive, then the coroner. Eventually the body is taken away.

But what happens then?

Who cleans up the potentially hazardous, biological mess that’s left behind? To find out, Wired followed Steri-Clean, a company that specializes in bio-remediation, including cleaning up after dead bodies have been removed from a scene.

The body the company was dealing with on this day had been dead for over a month. The smell was distinctive and unforgettably obnoxious. The garage was littered with dead cats and something that looked like a rabbit or a guinea pig. Its walls were covered in scratch marks, evidence of the forgotten animals’ desperation to escape.

The house was littered with animal feces. Dishes were piled in the sink. A bicycle stood up against the wall. One of the Steri-Clean crew opened the fridge and immediately shut it, but not before it added to the putrid stench. “This isn’t so bad,” they assured us.

Q:

What do you think that a dangerous task and cleaning up dead bodies?

Would you take this job? Why or why not?

What are the other wired jobs?

Will you take dangerous jobs with high pay?

Life Lessons You Can Learn from the Super Rich | Reader's Digest

By Reader's Digest Editors

Have the recent stock market fluctuations shaken you up? While you may never have the money that Wal-Mart founder Sam Walton had, you can still learn from his frugal attitude towards the green stuff.  Whether you are valued at $5,000 or $5 million, here are some tips from The Wall Street Journal for holding on to what you have and building for the future.

The very wealthy have a plan.

Enlist your significant other or friend to check in with about your finances. If you are paying down debt make a schedule that you will stick to. Create a budget together and then have weekly check-ins to see where you’ve stayed on course and where you need improvement.

The very wealthy live below their means.

Don’t spend everything. Don’t mortgage yourself up to the eyeballs. Find an apartment that meets your needs while also keeping you comfortable. Firstapartmentguide.com suggests that no more than 30% of your gross income should go towards rent and utilities. If you need to, share an apartment. Keep a cushion in case you lose some income.

The very wealthy value cash flow.

The rule of thumb from certified financial planner Nancy Langdon Jones is to keep enough in savings to weather six months. That may not be possible for you. Instead, keep a SWAN account—sleep well at night. Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Even if you have high credit card bills, you need an emergency account. Pay near the minimum balance until you have enough money saved to sleep well at night. You can decide how much that is when you don’t wake up terrified.

The very wealthy focus on risk, not return.

Investing in anything is risky. Know what you can reasonably risk and stop focusing on potential big returns. Maybe a $1 and a dream is all you can afford right now. Focus on getting your finances in order before investing. Buy a condo before buying a home that you will have to maintain, but if buying a co-op watch out for fees.

The very wealthy hang on.

Fear is a good thing. Don’t panic and sell your home because the price is decreasing. Likewise, don’t move to Tennessee to avoid state income tax before considering other aspects of your life. There are other things in life than money—family, friends, and community—a network of support in case you run into difficult times.

Would you put your money in risky investment and get high interests?

Life Planning: 7 Tips to Start Living with Meaning in Mind

By Kacia Nall

Planning, Anyone can Accomplish Anything they Want

Start off your life of meaning by creating a blueprint for the way you want to start living. Understand where to go, and the time and the tools needed to get there. Life planning takes more than a couple of hours or a day. You need to be really dedicated to improving yourself.

Understand your Strengths and Weaknesses

We all have things we excel at and we all have our limitations. The more honest we are with ourselves, the more we are able to maximize our potential. Customize your life around your hobbies and passions the best you can, because those are your guiding forces to living a happy life. If you aren’t satisfied with what you are doing, use your skillset to make a necessary change.

Think about how you can incorporate your strengths into your everyday life. It is vital to making something of yourself in this world.

Market your Skills

Make the most of your natural abilities and flaunt them. Search for opportunities related to your skillset early on in your life and stick to what you do best. Find like-minded people to network with and you will quickly find yourself in an environment best suited to help you grow as an individual.

What do You Want the Most?

Why are you living? What is the purpose of your life? Hard questions to answer, but do your best and be honest with yourself. Nobody else can benefit as much as you from knowing what you want in life. You can want many things out of life, which is ok. You are setting the standard by which you want to live and allowing other people to join you on your journey.

Make Your Life Easier

What causes your disorganization? Is it laziness, no time, procrastination? Be more conscious of your unproductive behaviors and thoughts and find ways to eliminate them from your life. Instead, find ways to take shortcuts in order to make organization easier. Work smarter and reap the benefits from all the extra time you have.

你對財富的看法?

Is too much money a bad thing?   debate.org

    Too big of a pay for "High paying jobs"

    My example is celebrities, they get paid millions and spend that money on a mansion that could basically become a freaking meusem. Its funny to know that people need that much space to live! Just look at kaynes and Kim Kardashian house or Will Smiths! Dont get me wrong, Will smith deserves what he has! I get that they worked hard for what they bought it with, but to waste it on stuff like tennis courts or basket ball courts that im pretty sure the city or another town has is gonna have all those things. I mean why couldn't you help out and donate some to the city for a BETTER basketball or tennis or etc.

  

    Money is Bad for you

    Many rich people have family problems. Some family problems occur when all you think or care about is money. You’ll become too greedy and selfish to even care for your family, which can cause divorce and separation. You might think some of the rich people are happy because they look happy, but deep inside they’re depressed. Some of them are depressed because they only work for the money. For example, a person had a job that he loved which got him $50,000, but instead he got the job that he hated that gave him $200,000. That’s what one of the richest women did, and now she is suffering of depression because she doesn't like her job, she got divorced, and her kids are fighting for her money.

     Too much money is bad

    Having too much money makes people unhappy. All they want is more and more money and they are never content. Also, there are so many people that don't have enough money. Also, people with too much money often bully other people with not enough money. You also will waste your money

    Too much money is bad

    Money is bad because it can make you feel depressed or unhappy. Look at all the rich people in the world. Sure they might be happy but if you take a look at their personal lives it's ruins. The richest woman in the world is suffering from divorce and depression. Her kids are fighting for her money and no one is there to support her. Money can make you take things for granted and not realize all the great things about life. It will make you suffer when no one is there anymore and you are going broke.

   

       Depends what it is used for

    Sometimes money can be a bad thing, but it depends on who has it and what they use it for. For example if they donate the money to charities and help people in need and that deserve the need for the help it will be good for them to be rich unless they sell drugs and use the money in harmful ways like running a drug business or a hooker business they deserve to lose all that money and live the lives of the people that they are ruining.

Q:

Is too much money a bad thing?

What would you want to buy if you were super-rich?

What do you think about this “many rich people have family problems”?

How money can impact our life?

What are the ways the rich waste their money?

You viewpoints about money and happiness?

Funeral Burial Alternatives

Simon Stewart

Tree Burial

Tree burial practices are often unheard of, but are common in places such as the Philippines, to protect the bodies from wild animals. This strange burial practice takes place by putting bodies in a tree or embedding them in a tree-trunk. Bodies can also be concealed in a coffin or blanket that will be tied into the branches of a tree. Tree burial is a creative method of protecting the dead and giving loved ones a special way of remembering them.

Tree Planting

One of the newest talked about burials is having your ashes placed into soil with a seed to plant a tree, which doesn’t affect the trees DNA. This is a wonderful way of being buried by being great for the environment and giving a special meeting place for family and friends to gather and remember the dead. Take a look at the Living Urn for more details.

Space Burial

The coolest option and my personal favourite. My family best get saving. It’s never too late to go to space. Space Burials are practiced by launching ashes, or for a higher cost, the full remains of the deceased into space via a rocket. Although this isn’t the eco-friendliest way to be buried, it sure is one of the most interesting. And expensive. Celestis do memorial space trips for space burials.

Memorial Diamonds

One for the Mrs, if she loves Diamonds so much, just tell her she will be one sooner rather than later if she isn’t careful. Memorial diamonds are made by pressurising hair or ashes of the deceased, in the same way real diamonds are made, but quicker. This can then be made into jewellery or as a keepsake of your loved ones.

Sea Burial

6 Feet under, being turned into an ornament or a luxury stone and being sent to space are not the only places of burial. The sea is very common, especially among sailors, for a place of burial for cultural, religious and recourse reasons. Most of the time, you are wrapped into a blanket and cast into the sea on a small boat. Don’t think luxury yacht here, more tiny wooden rowing boat.

Become a Coral Reef

Ironic really that as humans destroy Coral around the world, they could one day contribute to saving it through their own death. There are many ways to become ‘one with the earth’ when you die as we have discussed and now becoming a Coral Reef is one of them. The company Eternal Reef place your ashes into a natural reef mould, which is then deposited into the sea as a Coral Reef burial. This will attract colourful sea life and create a wonderful spot for a bit of scuba diving. A little more fun than a wet Sunday morning trip to the Croydon crematorium.
