Education13 Important Things To Do In Your 20s Before You Regret It by potex(op): 11:31am On Nov 22, 2015
Our 20s fly by before we know it, and we want to make sure we did the decade justice. Did we worry about the right things? Are we where we should be now? The best way to prepare for those questions and answer them to the best of our abilities, is to make sure spend time on what really matters and what may help us in the future. We took a look at a Quora thread that had great advice for people in their 20s who may be wondering what some of the important things to invest time in may be, and here is what we found.

1. Network.

If you form a solid mainstay of people, you are exposed to more opportunities and potential for success in both your career and in your personal life. Build bridges, because you never know when you might be looking to cross them. As Karan Jaiswani put it, “the 20s are all about utilizing your today and structuring your future.”

2. Read. A lot.

There is nothing more productive than taking the time to read. Read whatever you can get your hands on — current news, nonfiction, fiction, career advice, self-help books — anything! The more you know and understand about people around you, yourself and the world, the more easily and successfully you can navigate those very things.

“This will keep your mind stimulated and open to ideas. You will get a number of ideas for each author that you can implement in your life. You will also get opinions from across the globe,” Rizwan Aseem says.

3. Take care of your body.

Making time at night to wash your face, exercise, and remembering to apply (and reapply) sunscreen may not be on the top of your priority list, but it should be. General health care is something that, later in life, you will be glad you considered in your 20s. As Aseem points out, “No matter what you do in your life, you will do it in your body. You cannot replace it, get a new one, or trade it in. This is your body and you will live in it.”

4. Use your time and money on education.

Education is an invaluable resource that you are unlikely to ever regret having. Money is well spent when it is used to broaden your mind and pool of knowledge, especially when honing skills to be applied to your career path. Anuj Kumar advises you to “try different things and find out where your passion lies . . . and then find ways to make a career doing that, adding that “if you need further education, get it.”

5. Pay attention to your mental health and well-being.

While your physical health is extremely important, investing time into taking care of your mind should not be forgotten. Stimulate it, challenge it, be conscious of what you’re exposing it to daily, and take care of yourself. Aseem makes the point that, “The mind, like anything else, has the characteristics of a muscle. You use it, or lose it. And as long as you are using it, it will remain fit and healthy. The minutes you stop using it, it will decay and rust.” So use it!

6. Learn new skills (and master them).

While the advice to “follow your passion” can be good in the general sense, John. J. Bowman urges those in their 20s to master and control a set of skills that can be used to benefit you within the field you are passionate about.

7. Create and maintain good habits.

The hardest part of creating good habits is getting started, but once you are able to master them, they will have an undeniably positive impact on your day-to-day as well as your future, because, as Rizwan notes, “once a habit is established it lasts for a life time.”

8. Build meaningful relationships.

Now is the time to drop the fair-weather friends and make time only for those who are really going to stick around and be positive forces in your life. As you mature, so should your relationships, so you don’t have time to waste on people who will be harmful rather than helpful in your pursuit of your future goals.

9. Eat well.

Spend time planning meals, learning healthy recipes, and overall taking what you’re eating into consideration regularly. Gone are the days when donuts, chips, and sodas can pass as a full day’s meal. Even it if takes a little more time and effort, your future self will thank you when you find yourself maintaining your energy and healthy body as you age.

10. Establish a system for handling finances.

Sit down and figure out how you are spending money, what you are spending it on, and what your ongoing expenses are. “If you take care of your finances starting today they will take care of you when you most need them. When you are old, or sick, or sending your kids to school, or helping a parent through sickness. Your finances will help you,” Aseem says. Big pitfalls to avoid: bad business opportunities (if it seems to good to be true — it is), overuse of credit cards, and choosing not to save or put money aside for a rainy day.

11. Travel.

In your 20s, you’re full of enthusiasm and energy and usually have the mobility to indulge a bit of wanderlust. So indulge it. Experience new cultures, countries, and challenges. You will learn things that you can take with you and apply to your life back at home.

12. Communicate with loved ones.

Make an effort to remember birthdays, holidays, and important events. Your family and close friends can act as your support system when you need it, but you should put the time in and return the favor. Small gestures that show you are thinking about the people who love you go a long way, so take the extra five minutes to write a nice card and stick it in the mail, or schedule that quick Skype call — you won’t regret it.

13. Examine what you really want in life.

It’s easy to get caught up in the everything going on throughout your 20s, and people often forget to actually sit down and contemplate what it is they really want. Tonya Turpin advised that you “actively, and with intent, become aware of the world and everything it holds. Not just about the outside world, but also the one in your head. Spend time alone because it is the only true way to get to know yourself. Be curious and question everything.” Make the time to figure out what you love, and map out a plan of how to get it.

Romance7 Things Men Notice Instantly About A Lady by potex(op): 1:50pm On Nov 21, 2015
1.Your shape. Of course a guy looks at your shape and curves. Probably he will not be trying to hide this fact as well.

2. Your attitude. Men love women who have nice and healthy self-esteem. They keep in mind how the ladies pose. Your confidence is a great plus. As well as the ability to look straight into his eyes.

3. Your smile. All men subconsciously are attracted to some certain types of smiles. It is like a lottery.

4. Your friends. Your surrounding can tell a lot. Of course a guy will be checking out on whom you hang out with. If you are not alone on your first meeting with him.

5. Your hair. Some psychologists say that men notice your hair before noticing what you are wearing. So your hair should look well and smell well.

6. Your makeup. It is better for it to be looking natural. Or simple and light.

7. Your… bag. Yes, probably he will look at your purse. Some researches showed that guys don’t like girls with big bags. So, in this case, bigger is not better.

So, dear ladies, you will never know where you will meet your significant one. So whether you are going to supermarket to buy some food or going out with your best friends: try to look nicely and smile. Your “the one” is waiting for you somewhere near!

Romance5 Sure Signs Your Man Isn’t Ready To Settle Down by potex(op): 10:37pm On Nov 20, 2015
At one point or the other, ladies expect the men to get down on their knees and propose.
However, this doesn’t happen always. Not every relationship end up in marriage and in some cases, a few may look like they will but at the long run, the women get to discover it’s a ghost chase with those men.

Ladies unlike the men have the urge to settle down quickly and start a family. Most men often feel pressurized when it comes to this issue of settling down with a lady and getting married. As ladies, what are the implications of dating men who aren’t ready to settle down and what are the signs that say a man isn’t ready to settle down.


1. Lack Of Commitment
This isn’t so difficult to observe. When a man shows no zeal or interest in making future plans with a woman, then the future of that relationship itself is questionable. Men like these are hard to make plans with. They probably want to have fun and keep things as they are. They prefer the relationship to be as plain as possible and may suggest keeping things as they are for a while. They avoid complications that may arise from meeting the lady’s family members and could date the woman for as long as possible without suggesting they get engaged or seal the relationship.

2. Money Minded
A man who is passion driven and ambitious may not want to settle down until he’s attained stability in his finances and is comfortable. Men with this kind of mentality would always want to make headway with their careers first before plunging deeper into a relationship. They understand that without money, marriage is a bridge they may never cross.

3. Failure To Plan His Life With You

A man who doesn’t let his girlfriend in on the little details of his life isn’t ready to take any step towards settling down. Not only is he expected to ask the woman about plans for her life, he should be able to discuss the things he hopes to achieve with her as well. This would give the lady a sense of belonging and both of them could work things out from that vantage point. A man who wouldn’t share details of his work and family shows he’s not ready to settle down. He prefers to be as shady as possible.

4. Lack Of Responsibility
A man who cannot cater for the needs of his girlfriend and people around him strikes one as being irresponsible. Men like these often lack the initiative to do things on their own and when they do, it turns out to be the wrong things. They would rather blow large amount of money away on irrelevant things and get stranded on the major projects of their lives. They have no set priorities and would be quick to jump off the cliff with a new person of interest. The ladies in their lives have a feeling of insecurity due to their recklessness. Men like these could engage a woman for as long as possible and never make plans to marry her. Life is all about fun and adventure to them.

5. Secretive
Some men are weird and secretive. Everything is coded with them. They avoid taking the ladies out to major functions that involves family and friends. They are more or less afraid to be seen in public with these ladies. They avoid the word marriage and make the women feel they are being rushed when the women demand for more. They also try as much as possible to make their family members out of the ladies’ reach and hide under the pretense of being too busy. These signs show a man isn’t ready to settle down.
