So forth...Very recently I was listening to a podcast where one of the interviewees used "outmanipulate" to indicate that a person has been more manipulative than another.My doubt is can we use "out" before anything to state a surpassing status of one thing over another? Can I say for example something pretty random like Ronald outwrote his cousin in that dissertation he was writing or even James outate Adrian in that Food Contest or the weather today outhot yesterday's?November 6, 201840
- I don't like the idea of being destined to something because destiny takes the control you should have over your life. It wouldn't matter what you did or tried you always would end up at the same place. I think the older you get more you start to see the value of bad situations we have to go through. It's hard to see when we are in it, but when we overcome it we know in our heart we learned a valuable lesson to take for life. I'm not a very religious person but once someone told me something I thought very inspiring. "God only gives you challenges he knows you can take". Knowing you'll eventually be up for this problem in your life is encouraging, isn't?0 votedNovember 1, 20180
I don't know what kind of comedy you're more into so I will recommend four.
First one is a romantic comedy called "10 Things I Hate About You". It's a movie from the late 90's I remember liking when it used to air on TV. People still talk very fondly of it so I think is still good. The movie has Heath Ledger, Julia Stiles and Joseph Levitt Gordon. The synopsis is pretty much as follows: "in order to be able to date, a younger sister have to make the older sister, who is a misfit rebel-like who doesn't care about 'conventions of society', to date before her. So the younger sister's boyfriend hire a guy with the same misfit vibe to ask older sister out." I remembered more than I thought I would.
The second one is also a romantic comedy but there is a message behind. It's called "Yes Man" with Jim Carrey. The synopsis of this one is pretty simple. A very negative guy goes to a lecture where he is convinced that he must say yes to every opportunity that life gives him.
The third one is also with Jim Carrey and also has a message behind. It's called "Bruce Almighty". Bruce is a reporter who is not satisfied with the way his carrer is going and he blames God for everything bad happening in his life. So one day the Man himself shows up and offer him the job of the Almighty for a period so he can see if the task is in fact that easy.
The fourth one has Ron Livingston and a few more people I don't remember the name of. It's called "Office Space". This movie is very funny. It's pretty much about a programmer guy who is unsatisfied with the job he has. Who thinks it is unfair the way the company treats their employees so he just decide don't give a shit and finally got some recognition.

I remember when I start to learn japanese a couple years ago I was already more familiarized with english and since a lot of japanese foreigner vocabulary is imported from the language it was much more easier to remember those words. So once I have had understood how it is pronounced and written those foreign words in japanese I could even try to "make up" words I not even knew if really exist.And this help can come not just from the vocabulary side. Take japanese and chinese for instance. Both languages have a similar written system. They share a lot of ideograms that although might or not have different pronounciation, variation and use has the same meaning.In latin languages it is common identify patterns that can be used to link one language to another. For instance I never studied spanish but I can read a simple text written in the language because the vocabulary and the structure are similar to portuguese which it is my mother language.My point being it is that the more languages you know easier you will be to learn a new one since the ones you mastered can somehow being used as foundation.0 votedOctober 30, 20180
O Vendedor de Sonhos written by Augusto Cury or O Alquimista written by Paulo Coelho if you're looking for something with a language more simple but still it has a great message behind.
O Primo Basilio written by Eça de Queiroz if you're looking for a classical novel, with a more difficult vocabulary.
0 votedOctober 27, 20180- I think is great. Of course isn't always the case but sometimes children just happen in a "not ready to raise a kid" couple's lives. And the kid end up paying for it. When a person is willing to have a kid even not being of her own it is because she really wanted that. It is because she has what it takes to provide for the child, financially and emontionally.0 votedOctober 22, 20180
