What To Do If You're One</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Question:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;I'm a loser, what can I do?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Quirky Answer:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm so sorry to hear that, Sweetheart.  You just said you're a loser, there is nothing you could do.  There is nothing I could do either.  Losers are losers.  They do only one thing-they &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;LOSE&lt;/span&gt;.  It's like they were destined to lose the moment they were born!( talking about destiny).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Losers don't learn anything,&lt;/span&gt; it's no use trying to help them.  Losers won't believe in themselves anyway, so how could they believe somebody else?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Losers are victims.  &lt;/span&gt;They are not willing to rise and prove their worth.  They get themselves bullied.  They believe they are ugly.  (For the record, there is a distinct difference between being ugly and being a loser.  We'll try to cover that in future posts).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So now, where were we?  Oh yeah, we're with the loser.  What?  You're the loser? I can't believe I've been talking to you.  I mean, how much of my precious time have you wasted already?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hmm... &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;maybe there's still hope for you, after all. &lt;/span&gt; I talked to you, didn't I?  I don't talk to losers.  I talk only to winners, and to people who don't know yet the winner within them.  Maybe you're one of those.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Either you're a winner, or you just don't know it yet!  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Winners search for answers&lt;/span&gt;.  They may cry.  They may get frustrated.  But deep within them, they feel it's wrong to just give up.  They feel bad because they know they aren't on the right path yet.  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Winners don't even need to be perfect.  &lt;/span&gt;Only losers think that perfection is the goal.  Winners are human beings who have a healthy sense of themselves, are happy to be human and are not ashamed to cry and to get frustrated at times.  So what's our problem here again about losers?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4427317775429038931-2775767095551606304?l=quirkycoach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/feeds/2775767095551606304/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/04/are-you-loser-what-to-do-if-youre-one.html#comment-form' title='20 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/2775767095551606304'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/2775767095551606304'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/04/are-you-loser-what-to-do-if-youre-one.html' title='Are You a Loser?

Have you no access to a dictionary? Hmm... This is a tough one. But since this is a question, I'd assume &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;“like that”&lt;/span&gt; pertains to something negative. You wouldn't complain about something positive, would you?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;I mean, if your boss is like this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Generous&lt;br /&gt;2.Encouraging&lt;br /&gt;3.Supportive&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would you complain?

Why stress yourself? Why grow old before your time?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It really doesn't matter what makes him “like that”. If you can't stand it anymore, just get out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or do I sense something heroic in there. Yeah, try to change the boss cause he's really not like that. He's just stressed. He's been through a lot of problems lately. He's had a rough childhood.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, if you could understand him so much, why ask? Just accept him &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;AS IS, WHERE IS.&lt;/span&gt; Accept that he is not perfect, and neither are you. Accept that you're finding a hard time looking for another job nowadays, with the recession and all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But if you can't stand it anymore and if you have enough courage to drop out of your comfort zone, then by all means, let your boss deal with his own problems, leave him be and solve yours.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4427317775429038931-862993534844055496?l=quirkycoach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/feeds/862993534844055496/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-is-my-boss-like-that.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/862993534844055496'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/862993534844055496'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/why-is-my-boss-like-that.html' title='Why is My Boss LIKE THAT?!'/><author><name>Joyce at itakeoffthemask.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Lcxhhph84g/Sknt40utVxI/AAAAAAAAAac/qWOHMwo96AY/S220/joyavatarcofi.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427317775429038931.post-8955004750178035770</id><published>2009-03-18T16:06:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T08:17:30.645+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quirky tips'/><title type='text'>10 Things To Do on a Boring Day</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;10 Things To Do On a Boring Day&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.Pinch your nose.

Rare are the times when men aren't lured into you, following you like dogs everywhere you go. Sometimes though it can get so annoying. After all, when Mr. Right finally comes your way, he might not be able to get to you fast and squeeze himself through that crowd. You want to narrow down your choices and fend off these annoying men. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;How do you do that?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"&gt;Say PLEASE.

Don't apply your deodorant for a few days.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"&gt;Date with their sister.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"&gt;If all else fails, pretend you're going nuts and having multiple personality disorder. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;That should turn them off!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4427317775429038931-5496262860956400679?l=quirkycoach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/feeds/5496262860956400679/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-you-fend-off-annoying-suitors.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/5496262860956400679'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/5496262860956400679'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-you-fend-off-annoying-suitors.html' title='How Do You Fend Off Annoying Suitors?'/><author><name>Joyce at itakeoffthemask.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Lcxhhph84g/Sknt40utVxI/AAAAAAAAAac/qWOHMwo96AY/S220/joyavatarcofi.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427317775429038931.post-9003303451893122978</id><published>2009-03-18T09:44:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-19T08:16:18.015+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='quirky answers'/><title type='text'>Why Can't Men Like Me?</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;QUESTION&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why can't men like me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;QUIRKY ANSWER:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, how could they? You don't even seem to like yourself!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want others to like you, &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;you've got to be able to like yourself first&lt;/span&gt;. Now don't cry yet, sweetheart. This isn't the end of the world. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Being ugly is not a disease&lt;/span&gt;, you know. Ooops! What I mean is that it's not like cancer. &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(0,153,0)"&gt;There is still hope for you&lt;/span&gt;. No, I don't mean there's hope for you to become a beauty queen. We're bordering on the impossible there, I think.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But cheer up! There is hope, you know. There is this very powerful quote that could really cheer up the likes of you. Now if I could only remember it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DING! O, yeah. Here it is:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;LOVE IS BLIND!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;See? If a man loves you, he loves you. No questions asked. No unmet expectations. He accepts you, warts and all. After all, they say the best things in life are often invisible to the naked eye. Like &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;MUSIC&lt;/span&gt;. Like &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;TOUCH&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So don't you mind it when you feel you're not attractive (even if you're really not). It just simplifies the process, you know.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are able to eliminate early on which men aren't really deserving of you. I can assure you, you'll regret &lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;these guys&lt;/span&gt; in the long run.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(51,102,255)"&gt;Mr. RIGHT&lt;/span&gt; will be there at the right place and at the right time.

Now, you're irritating me! And why would you want to tolerate an irritating person?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tell him he's annoying, he's a scoundrel, he's a good-for-nothing person that does nothing else in this world but irritate you. Correct?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If he is such a person, then it's possible that you're not the only one getting irritated by his presence. And if you're able to tell him that and make him change, then you'll be having a lot of people in your gratitude.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But make it clear first in your heart. Why are you being irritated? And why would you want to tolerate it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Don't you think that maybe, there's something irritating about you, too? Or don't you think that deep inside, you've labelled and misjudged this person?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm sure no saint, baby. But you've got to know what you want and why you want those things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If by chance you find out that things can still be worked out, and this person has a chance of escaping hell in exchange for only 10,000 years of purgatory, then why not TALK to him? COMMUNICATION is the key, sweetheart. You might just earn a FRIENDSHIP with an irritating person. Good luck! ;-)&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4427317775429038931-2450554149391233747?l=quirkycoach.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/feeds/2450554149391233747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-i-tolerate-irritating-person.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/2450554149391233747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4427317775429038931/posts/default/2450554149391233747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quirkycoach.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-do-i-tolerate-irritating-person.html' title='How Do I Tolerate An Irritating Person?'/><author><name>Joyce at itakeoffthemask.com</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1Lcxhhph84g/Sknt40utVxI/AAAAAAAAAac/qWOHMwo96AY/S220/joyavatarcofi.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4427317775429038931.post-3665360330317310908</id><published>2009-03-17T17:13:00.000+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-17T17:14:53.175+08:00</updated><title type='text'>Welcome!</title><content type='html'>Welcome friends!
