  definition

  Although the nature or essence of love is a subject of frequent debate, different aspects of the word can be clarified by determining what isn't love. As a general expression of positive sentiment (a stronger form of like), love is commonly contrasted with hate (or neutral apathy); as a less sexual and more emotionally intimate form of romantic attachment, love is commonly contrasted with lust; and as an interpersonal relationship with romantic overtones, love is commonly contrasted with friendship, although other definitions of the word love may be applied to close friendships in certain contexts.
  When discussed in the abstract, love usually refers to interpersonal love, an experience felt by a person for another person. Love often involves caring for or identifying with a person or thing, including oneself (cf. narcissism).
  In addition to cross-cultural differences in understanding love, ideas about love have also changed greatly over time. Some historians date modern conceptions of romantic love to courtly Europe during or after the Middle Ages, although the prior existence of romantic attachments is attested by ancient love poetry.
  Because of the complex and abstract nature of love, discourse on love is commonly reduced to a thought-terminating cliché, and there are a number of common proverbs regarding love, from Virgil's "Love conquers all" to the Beatles' "All you need is love." Bertrand Russell describes love as a condition of "absolute value," as opposed to relative value. Theologian Thomas Jay Oord said that to love is to "act intentionally, in sympathetic response to others, to promote overall well-being." Philosopher Gottfried Leibniz said that love is "to be delighted by the happiness of another."

  Psychological basis

  Psychology depicts love as a cognitive and social phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg formulated a triangular theory of love and argued that love has three different components: intimacy, commitment, and passion. Intimacy is a form in which two people share confidences and various details of their personal lives, and is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Commitment, on the other hand, is the expectation that the relationship is permanent. The last and most common form of love is sexual attraction and passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation as well as romantic love. All forms of love are viewed as varying combinations of these three components. American psychologist Zick Rubin seeks to define love by psychometrics. His work states that three factors constitute love: attachment, caring, and intimacy.
  Following developments in electrical theories such as Coulomb's law, which showed that positive and negative charges attract, analogs in human life were developed, such as "opposites attract." Over the last century, research on the nature of human mating has generally found this not to be true when it comes to character and personality—people tend to like people similar to themselves. However, in a few unusual and specific domains, such as immune systems, it seems that humans prefer others who are unlike themselves (e.g., with an orthogonal immune system), since this will lead to a baby that has the best of both worlds. In recent years, various human bonding theories have been developed, described in terms of attachments, ties, bonds, and affinities.
  Some Western authorities disaggregate into two main components, the altruistic and the narcissistic. This view is represented in the works of Scott Peck, whose work in the field of applied psychology explored the definitions of love and evil. Peck maintains that love is a combination of the "concern for the spiritual growth of another," and simple narcissism. In combination, love is an activity, not simply a feeling.

  What is life?

  What is life? Does this sound like a strange question to you? Of course we all know what is meant by the word "life", but how would you define it?
  Do all living things move? Do they all eat and breathe? Even though we all seem to know what is meant by saying something is "alive", it's not very easy to describe what "life" is. It's almost as hard as describing where life came from.
  Even the biologists (people who study life) have a tough time describing what life is! But after many years of studying living things, from the mold on your old tuna sandwich to monkeys in the rainforest, biologists have determined that all living things do share some things in common:How did life begin on Earth? Though no one is ever likely to know the whole story, virtually everyone has wondered at one time or another, how life on Earth began.
  There are at least three types of hypotheses which attempt to explain the origin of life on Earth. The first and oldest of these hypotheses suggest that life was created by a supreme being or spiritual force. Most cultures and religions have their own explanations of creation that are passed down from generation to generation. Because these ideas cannot be proved nor disproved, we consider them outside the boundaries of science. For that reason, they will not be pursued here and are left to each individual to decide.
  The second set of hypotheses suggest that life began in another part of the universe and arrived on Earth by chance, such as with the crash of a comet or meteor.
  The third, and most common hypothesis in the scientific community, is that life began approximately 3.5 billion years ago as the result of a complex sequence of chemical reactions that took place spontaneously in Earth's atmosphere. In the 1950's, two biochemists conducted an experiment which showed that certain molecules of life (amino acids) could form spontaneously when the conditions of Earth's early atmosphere were recreated in the lab. It is assumed that over time, these molecules interacted with one another eventually leading to the earliest forms of life.

  Love - Love at first sight, myth or reality?

  Even those who did not believe in love at first sight they admit defeat when Cupid arrows. Love at first sight beyond logic and reason can not be controlled. Did you ever saw, not even "like yours", but it is enough a smile or a hasty because your life to change. You feel like you are not yourself. You know that feeling of a life, and fate will put face in the game of love. In front of this magic, how could a skeptic believe? Still love at first sight exists. Some put the hormones or bio-magnetic field we outflank each. Others believe that it is written in the stars we suddenly and irrevocably in love with somebody. Or maybe, actually, it's not just a physical attraction? It is impossible to decipher mysterious mechanism by which two people, until then unknown to each other, fall in the blink of an eye? A look, a smile, a gesture. You can easily fall or the man you have to conquer after countless meetings and discussions? How long really love at first sight? Even the most reticent, more conservative and rational of us can not resist when I see someone and their eyes can detach. Although it is possible to realize the person is not ideal for you, can not logically judge. Also, there is no impassable barrier, no more, nor are you interested in the opinion of jur.La question "What is love at first sight?", Many do not know what to answer, while others are very difficult to say exactly, to give a definition. And yet, I got some answers, which of the more interesting. In the case of men, most answers were given to understand that really love at first sight is an adventure. "You see and you can not take my eyes off her. Just at that moment you can think of than the fact that you want to be with her. Anything else really does not matter either. Only then do you ask questions if you have a relationship or you will be something lasting. "Most girls really talk about physical attraction. So perhaps that love at first sight is in close touch with what expect from a relationship. If you want to have fun with that beautiful boy you ogle, you can do so without regrets, but not to expect more than that. It's possible that when you know you better you know it will not right or that he talks to bored or mad. If you fire a conservative, rational, which implies a lot, you throw in his arms, that can be quite risky. It is possible to go and be together all our lives, but not excluded. we can easily fall at first sight. From a glance, a smile, a gesture, a word, a formal conversation like "go to first?" "No!". Is more difficult but after what we love. What do we do then? We leave taken by the wave, we think all the consequences and risk. Finally, if white, it will take long and we will be happy, if it is black, it stays. Just crazy that likely will not regret it. Is mixed with innocent passion. Collaboration is a hormone, a light heart and eager mind of the unknown. If you do not finish leave traces, only memories and usually secret. When not end quickly, can make two people happy for the rest of my life. But the truth is that two people can be happy and love my whole life even if not in love at first sight

  Jobs - Qualities required for a successful career

  Successful career is a kind of diploma of merit that we give those who work in the same field with you and you managed to convince them you're really good in what you do. Why would a woman, from all the drawbacks and / or benefits that they involve genetic dowry, to succeed in his career that he chose her? Career success to her confidence in their forces, security, power, self-respect and financial independence, is based on personal merit recognition in the profession that I chose it, here in this world in which management functions are mainly of men. I think the way we see men depends very much us. It is the most difficult choice you have to do a woman because she is at an early age, when you have all the matter relating to your future but we must assume, to anticipate. This is the test that adolescentele il when they choose to build or not a solid career for the future, and say that because they have several variables that penalizes them, such as their sexuality, and that it now found in adolescence and they bulverseaza existence.
  * Definition of success in his career: to work in an area that you like on the job that you always, you gave job with passion every day and you make him happy (including in financial terms). I mean you and your career to live a wonderful couple relationship when scartaie relationship should be to review your goals, whether to change jobs.
  * Ambition. If you want something and you are sure what you want, you should not leave until you get what you suggested, to be ambitious to white sail! Just so you get to have the career you want.
  * All successes are based on vocation, work, work and work. Not enough to have a talent for vocation or a profession, unless you put skills to work. That may mean, in many cases, even give up part of your free time to get better documentation to be better prepared professionally. What I do, excellence is achieved by sacrifices. Without perseverance in reaching scope jeopardize his incremenesti project. Not enough to give you something if you want to give him, even temporarily, as soon as you met a more serious obstacle.
  * Integrity. Who builds their success calcand over corpses not go far. Or go, but surely not keep on top for career success and involves compliance with a moral code. If potential employees, partners, employers find something you're not just proud, it will elude you. Everything is called integrity and you use means not just for churches to reach your goals. Satisfaction that you feel when you make it through their own strengths and not my heart out like nothing.
  * Sometimes you can discourage long periods of intense study to achieve a high professional level, the perspective is quite cenusie and finish line is quite far, it takes a lot of will and ambition to prove you can. I think we deserve: the prize - that the status of women strong, independent - is there, you wait.
  * To succeed in any career man must first be very good at what he does, and more, to improve continuously. Goes for women and men. This is the indispensable condition of success in honest ways, as is normal to be the personal merit recognition in the profession. Secondly, it takes a desire to prove that you more. I see that the main motivation of career success. If you do not want more is unlikely to entrepreneurs something concrete to improve your professional performance.

  i think of you

  When the breeze kisses the flowers,
  When the earth gets the first showers,
  When the birds chirp melodious songs,
  When I feel lonely among the throngs,
  I think of you hours after hours...

  When the glistening stars whisper at night,
  When the silvery moon throws upon us light,
  When the emerald leaves murmur in serenity,
  When the clouds float in the sky of divinity,
  I think of you with passions bright.

  When, in the sky, the rainbows arch in pride,
  When, over the hills, the fountains glide,
  When the confident roses spread their scent,
  When the twilight becomes crescent,
  I think of you craving to be your bride.

  To Touch The Heart

  To touch the heart of someone dear
  though it might sometimes cause a tear
  To fall or rest upon the cheek
  Should be something all one should seek.
  For often hearts not touched at all
  Start hardening and shrinking small.
  And then the time it takes to grow
  A loving heart is very slow.
  For hearts expand as those who care
  Extend their love and let us share
  A moment, space or special phrase
  that eases pain on dreary days.
  Or simply starts our lips to smile
  and brightens time for just a while.
  The ways and kinds and means of sharing
  it seems to me - Are based on caring.
  And though we're often worlds apart
  You still can touch my very heart.
  You make me smile or shed a tear
  And I'll remember year to year
  Just how your 'touching' helped me grow
  And I just thought I'd tell you so.
