People are cruel :)

Well, I can claim that I'm that kind of child, so maybe I won't be so objective below) I don't think I was spoilt by that kind of treat, moreover I don't think it is a serious reason which can affect on future behaviour. There should be something another in character. OK, maybe I was a bit selfish(very possessive) in childhood, but it was temporary. Thereafter, I learned value of everything, life is a such kind, including upside of sharing :) 2 tangogirl - yes, I hate if I can't achieve or get something I need, but same we can say about everyone. 2 romulus - yes we can :) Parents are a role model, so I know more about love then the others who weren't "spoilt"))

Well, it's secret so I can't tell, but, hard work also brings results. Mr. Wright's 'natural method' has relized in Rosetta Stone software quite well, it's about learning language patterns like a child does through visual and audial modalities.

Sure, true pure love)

Salut! There are many precedents when woman and man of different religions have married. In this case these couple were quite open-minded, inteligent and they lived with their religion alone without having influence on each other. However, genereally this does not work, because there are involved families, especially parents from one of the part affect to much on whole decision. Therefore marriage between diff. religion couple happens very rarely. It's really problematic in not modern countries. Also it depends how much is difference, what particular religions? Neither Christian and Muslim nor Christian&Jewish will be easy (or even possible).

appearance & behavior - they tell everything.

I've often heard it in business meetings, practically never in daily life situation. Even though, I think it's just stereotype, because in spoken English there're no restrictions :) When you first meet person in formal situation, you'd better stick with the rules. It's kinda part of tradition/protocol of meeting, so if you say something different in reply, it won't be expected.
