Hi!I've found a great blog, which is as important as my daily coffee now. It's really cool, with a load of cool free self help advice: personal development articles, ranging from how to be happier, to frugal living advice.Check it out, it's really cool...

I finally did what I have been intending to do for ages: I got up (relatively) early, and actually sat down to write a new post for one of my blogs (I've decided to maintain several). But why, why, did I try to do so without a the accompaniment of a strong cup of something caffeinated? Ugh.I'm trying to cut down on caffeine. I'll do some research on just how bad caffeine really is, but the fact

A post from my old blog: these are some tips that should make you happy. They've been compiled from a variety of sources, so I'm sure they'll work, but it might take a bit of conscious effort to implement them :)"Happiness is a thing to be practiced, like a violin" -- John LubbockBe with loved ones: Research shows that happy people spend very little time alone. Instead, they surround themselves

Money isn't that important to being happy, despite my previous post on how to "buy" happiness.No matter how hard you try, it won't be possible to use money to be happy unless you love what you do, and have close friends and family. Those are the very basics, just as a minimum amount of money is required for basic necessities.There seems to be a lot of discussion regarding the money-wealth

After Valentines Day, and after all that moaning by single women that there aren't any good guys out there, here are some interesting facts:For 20-somethings: There are 119 single (never married, divorced, or widowed) men for every 100 single women. For the over-65 crowd: There are 34 single (never married, divorced, or widowed) men for every 100 single women. To find those singles: There are 904

Still unable to write a new post, I'm reposting another old article from my other blog. I hope it's of some help to job-seekers.When hunting for a job, most candidates are so busy trying to sell themselves, that they don’t research the company thoroughly enough to see if they’re a good fit or not.It’s very important for a candidate to ask questions about the company. If you’re looking for a job,

I need to regurgitate an old post of mine, from my previous (abandoned) blog. I'm unable to come up with creative new things, and I'm a bit depressed due to a number of reasons. So it's quite ironic that I'm going to talk about how to "buy" happiness. This post was also first written as part of the Problogger group writing project.Research shows that it's possible to use money to become happier.

A while back, I was in a job which I had either mechanized, or taught my future successors to complete: about to leave, demotivated and slightly cynical of the whole organization, I spent most of my time on the internet.Unfortunately, after all that time spent browsing, I've only fallen in love with two blogs: these are the blogs that I try to read daily, that cheer me up immensely, and which I

For those with someone special, a Swedish proverb:Love me when I least deserve it, because that's when I really need it.And those planning to get drunk by tonight:Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.Happy Valentines Day!

This is currently one of my favorite poems. It's by Langston Hughes.

Over time, I will probably copy a few good posts from my previous blog. I think I'll do that on days when I don't have the time to write an original post.In the meantime, here are some adorable puppies, found via this website

This article sums up almost all the reasons to hate Valentine's Day.I'm a Valentine's Day hater too. What's with all the flowers and gifts and cards on this obvious Hallmark Holiday? Really, if you love someone, you should celebrate your love everyday in unique ways, not one day a year with trite symbols.In some ways, Valentine's Day is pretty terrible for even the most perfect couples. If you

I did a google search on "why should I start blogging?" a few days back. All I came up with were "how to start blogging" articles.Does that mean that nobody wonders about the reasons for having a blog? Is blogging already so overhyped that no-one questions the reasons for a blogs existance?I started another blog once, and used to post rather seriously. I thought, I might ultimately monetize it

One of my worst habits is sleeping too much.Sure, when I had classes, I was never late. But sometimes I overslept to the point of having to miss a free breakfast, and I really love food. It's just that my love for sleeping is so much greater...I've read a lot on the benefits of waking up early. I've even read up on how to wake up early. I've tried to motivate myself by planning the next day: wake

I sat down to write a cheerful blog post, but when I clicked "view blog" I found my template changes, and most recent blog entry missing.How could this happen, I wondered. Is Blogger that bad a service? But I saved everything, how...?A while later I realized. I had initially started another, different blog, on which I didn't do much work, before deciding to focus on "Happiness Creator". I'd

Initially, I wanted the picture of the Heart Coffee to be my header image. But then hey, strawberries can make you feel happy too!I'm off now, having given up on my struggles to create the perfect image.Maybe this is an illustration of the satisficer principle: sometimes, good enough is good enough.
