  2. Since crossfire is a motley mixture of roughnecks and rah-doods, I wanted to offer this article as my personal gift to you all to make yourselves more likable, attractive and sincere toward other people. it's amazing how, when you put it in context like this, you'll see how many of you are are off base. Discuss. The Ten Secrets towards a Personal Attractiveness Morals can be considered among the most important values of life, civilization, and human principles, and Islam has highlighted this importance. The personal attractiveness plays its role in perfecting these high moral standards that our Prophet—peace be upon him—was sent to perfect; these moral secrets are: First: Be polite and you will have a nice reputation. As we previously said, Islam has asserted the importance of high moral standards; and this can be clearly showed in the hadeeth where the Prophet—peace be upon him—says: "There is nothing heavier in the Muslim's record at the Day of Judgment than a good manner; and Allah detests the ill-mannered (ones)"[1]. And in order to be an attractive person to the others, you should do that to yourself at first thru doing what the scholars call al-Muroo'aat (i.e. the magnanimous acts) like: - Listening to the speaker without asking him to repeat what he said. - Meeting the friend as well as the foe with a delighted face without humiliating the former or being afraid from the latter. Second: Show your concern to others. The magical recipe for getting others' attention: 1. Salute anyone you meet in a warm way. 2. Show a sincere smile. 3. Tell him that you miss him. 4. List his/her good attributes. 5. Give him/her a sense of self-confidence. 6. Do not interrupt him/ her while he/ she is speaking. Third: Optimism and vigor: Optimism is one of the main characteristics for any successful character, because it gives hope, strengthens one's confidence, and motivates him/ her to work better; and all of these are very crucial elements for achieving success. Optimism is also considered a sincere indication for the positive look towards life. In this respect, the optimistic person looks at life with hope and positiveness towards present and future; he also does so towards the past where he could learn lessons (from others' experiences). Optimism means hope, positiveness, self-balance, prudence, and it refers to all that is good. Fourth: Show humility to all people. Among the most important factors of social success is humility, because the humble person gets the peoples' love and respect, because who respects others gets respected and vice versa. Humility is a good manner that every Muslim should show, because it shows the sublimity of one's soul, and thus each Muslim should does his best in order to make humility one of his natures. Fifth: Never get angry. Anger is among the worst psychological diseases which affect the human behavior where he loses control over his mental as well as psychological balance. The Ethicists defines anger as: "a psychological activity that agitates the blood inside the heart so that it flows harshly, spread inside the veins, and gets high in one's body like the high flames of fire". Be at ease and you shall make miracles… Quietness is a merit of success; it is also an indication of strong, tenacious personality, and it represents the image of the mindful, civilized person. The contrary of it is that person who gets angry by the most trivial reasons; this shows a weak person who is small-minded as well as weak-willed. Sixth: Learn to smile The sincere smile is vital in the human relations, in making successful friendships, in building the familial structure, and in all the other human relationships between one and his brother, the employer and his employee, etc. because it represents the love and passion; rather, it looks like a sincere love letter to its recipient. Seventh: Do not forget to offer presents. Indeed, the presents, which may look like the fashion of the era, are deep-rooted and morally, psychologically, religiously, and economically established since thousands of years. Eighth: Take care of your appearance. A good look appears in the cleanliness of one's body, nice clothes, and nice smell. Ninth: Master the art of spoken words. The sincere, good word has the effect of magic in that it opens the closed hearts and impresses the kindhearted souls. In the agreed upon hadeeth: "The Prophet—peace be upon him—would speak in a way that one could count his words"[2]. Tenth: Master the art of listening: If you wish to become a good speaker, then be a good listener. In this respect, some sagacious people say: "in order to be important be concerned with others"!!!

  8. i'm totally pro-ellipses, but you're fucking out of control. depression isn't so simple as "bad things happened, now goodbye." its an almost constant overwhelming feeling. the thoughts of suicide were there before e-friend came along, that failure just reinforced her feelings of failure. the act itself is a conscious decision, the feelings are not something so easily overcome as 'manning up' its not about how bad shit is. people with love, money, success feel it too... its an internal situation, but bad times promote the feelings.
