On the other hand, the more you give to others, the weaker you will become, when they have finished using you, you are done for. Therefore, don't try to please others always, the more you care about others, the more insignificant you are. Please your own self, and let others please you,then only it http://hardypine.blogspot.com/2012/03/treat-yourself-well.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Giantkite)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20153217.post-76998638429397327Fri, 09 Mar 2012 18:31:00 +00002012-03-10T12:48:18.625+08:00After dropping out from regular employment in 2002, I stopped working for multi-nations corporate companies.
