When Love Is Just A One-Way Traffic...

To you who are reading this, we want you to close your eyes, clear your mind from everything else...and take this time right now to visualize...

Imagine yourself drowning in the deep blue sea and fighting for your life. Gasping for breath, you call out for help. Suddenly, someone sees you from afar.

Since he or she sees you, your delusions begin playing with your mind and soul. As he or she draws closer to you, you start to believe that your life is going to be saved. You stretch out your hand because your delusions tell you that he or she will take your hand and pull you out of danger.

But all the hope that you bear in your heart...comes crashing down, as he or she takes one short glance at you...and then walks away.

You give your one last cry. Then you, together with your hope of being rescued, simply drown deep into the sea...

That is exactly how one feels when one has so much love to share with a special person, and shares it with all his or her might, just to discover later on that he or she will never be loved in return. For some, time will heal things and they will learn to accept reality as it is.

But sadly, there is an exceptional group of people, who simply cannot take the blow and eventually plunge themselves into an illness. An illness that results from their inability to keep themselves in one piece, just because their love is not reciprocated...

This illness, known as Erotomania, occurs when a person, in his or her delusional state of mind, believes that that particular person he or she loves also loves him or her just as much or even more. That ‘lie’ apparently sticks to them like glue, and sooner or later becomes out of control.

Those who have had a history of emotion and mental related diseases such as depression or bipolar disease are normally at a greater risk of getting it.

To most of us, body gestures, facial expressions or communication styles that we see in someone may still not clearly justify whether we are being loved or admired or not, but for them, these simple physical movements can make them assume too quickly that they are being loved or admired. What they do not know is that what they have seen actually is not meant to be a message of love for them.

It was just their naked eyes fooling them into thinking that way, all because they want it to be that way.

In actual fact, there is an erotomanic side in all of us. Surely enough, most of us would probably have ever been head over heels towards a celebrity, and there is always a little part of us that fantasizes a time when that celebrity loves us too.

But what sets these patients apart from the general public is that they cannot snap back to reality. They just want to live in their world of fantasy forever. They just want to dream and never wake up from it.

Erotomania is a rather complex mental disease to be treated, but obviously, one who has this illness would need major psychiatric treatment. It should also be backed up by support from family and friends.

Put yourself in their position and it can be such a painful feeling for you to know that they are in such pitiful state. We may not know exactly who are going through this illness right now, but we do hope that we can reach out to them directly or through our readers, with this article.

To those of you who are going through this tough time, as difficult as it can be, please learn to make it through the rain and stand up once again, because we know you can. And remember, you are not alone, for love will always surround you. It may not come from that person whom you wish could give it to you, but do not fear, because we believe that someone could be out there, wishing from afar, that he or she would be given all the chances in the world to shower you with all the love you need.

Everyone is loved. So are you.

Emotional Bond Or Physical Attraction: What Creates A True Relationship?

A true relationship between man and woman brings about astounding effects in both the emotions and physique. But the main question one would probably ask is which of these two effects would create a greater impact upon their individual self, and which of these two would make them crumble should their partners decide to flush them away from their lives.

There were researches conducted on this aspect of a relationship, and our team had also received tons of comments from readers and friends about their relationship experiences. From all of that, we can derive one answer to this. Emotional effects are the ones that create the bigger impact rather than the physical effects!

If one were to analyze the issue here, it is actually the emotions that form that strong bond between two people. It is the emotions that make the couple get physical with each other. Getting physical itself in actual fact does not bring any sort of meaning to a relationship, unless it is accompanied by the love and sparks for each other.

You can be holding hands and hugging somebody but it does not necessarily mean that you will fall in love with the person. After all, falling in love does not begin with a physical touch. The root of love and a beautiful relationship lies in the feelings that develop inside the moment you set eyes on each other. If all you want to do is get physical with someone, it is nothing more than just lust.

Physical attraction will never last a lifetime, but emotional attraction does. And when emotional attraction between you and your partner keeps going on and on, so will your physical attraction. So what we are trying to derive here is that when you and your partner are bonded by your love and feelings, both of you will enjoy the physical attraction for a long time as well.

It is a win-win situation for you in that case. However, if the relationship is established solely on the basis of physical attraction, it would be difficult for both to establish the emotional connection, thus having to bear the risk of losing the relationship sooner than you think. In this case, it is not a win-win situation. Both will lose out in the end.

So for you who are searching for that soul mate or have given a thought about submitting your heart and soul to someone you have met, ask yourself why you want to be in a relationship with the person. Is it because you have affirmed of your feelings and that you want to live your life forever with him or her? Or are you just merely attracted to his or her physique?

Because remember, relationships will work well when the physical effects comes together with the emotional effects. It is the emotional bond that can bring everlasting happiness to two couple till eternity, or make them crumble when they lose each other.

How To Be An Impressive Interviewee: The Dos and Don’ts

Being called for an interview indicates that you gave your prospective employer a good first impression of you from your cover letter and your resume. So live this chance to the fullest! Put in all the effort you need to prepare and ace for your interview.

Let me help you a little. Yes, you who are in all probability having a nerve wrecking wait till your interview day. I attempted to do some research on the various aspects of a job interview you need to know. And I got quite a fair bit of insights that can serve as guidelines on acing your job interview.

Let us take a peek on the dos and don’ts when being interviewed.

1. Do a comprehensive research on your prospective organisation. Anyway it would be an advantage for you to get useful information on the organisation so that when a customer walks up to you to find out more about the organisation and what it is dealing with, you would not hesitate to answer. But the information is most accommodating during your interview. You would also want to ask yourself why you wish to work in the organisation.

2. Prepare the answers to the possible questions that your employer may ask you during the interview. I shall touch on the common interview questions asked later on ok?

3. Prepare a question or two that you would like to raise during the interview. Make sure that the questions asked are relevant to the applied job position and show that you are serious about taking up the job.

4. Dress for success. You do not have to look too extravagant. Keep it simple, but dress in such a way that the employer can envision you as a committed and productive worker. Remember, first impression counts and it only comes once.

5. Do research on the location of the company to ensure that you will reach the place in time for the interview. You would not want to be late as that could actually sum up the employer’s first impression of you. The best suggestion would be to arrive at the place a few minutes earlier in order for you to take some breather before you enter ‘The Room’.

6. Do not question on the remuneration, employee benefits and bonuses when you meet your employer for the first time.

7.Avoid saying that you are unsure of the answer to the question or ask the employer to refer to your CV for information. Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of you being interviewed? At the same time, do not portray the ‘know-it-all’ attitude. Just be yourself and say the things you are sure of.

8. When being interviewed, keep an eye contact with the interviewer. Do not ever look down on the floor or on your trembling hands as that indicates your nervousness. You ought to appear confident!

9. Promote yourself. You can share instances where you contributed to your previous workplace in a positive way.

10. Do not look too desperate. Should you fail to be offered the job for the first time, you should still appear contented in front of the interviewer that you were given the chance to be assessed. Tell yourself that… probably the grass is always greener on the other side! =)

Ok as promised, here are the common interview questions asked. So here goes…

Why do you choose to take up this job?

Why do you intend to leave your present job?

Why would you like to work for this company?

What do you see yourself doing five/ten years from now?

What have you learnt about our company?

What are your strengths/weaknesses? Tell me about yourself.

How can you contribute to this company?

What have you learnt from your previous job?

Yes here they are. Hope that would turn you into a more confident interviewee. To anybody who has an interview to attend to soon, you may want to read this article to help you out yeah? Til then, good luck! Hope this article is helpful to you.
