What little things in life give you the biggest satisfaction?

A glass of water when I am thirsty.


Two pieces of bread when I am hungry


A good place to sleep when I am drowsy


A good potteee when i cannot control it

What little things in life give you the biggest satisfaction?
Some of the things mentioned are really big I agree. Even that organic pile of compost would be big no matter how small Report Abuse

The heat of the sun coming from a window, during a winter day. The cold crisp water on a summer day, and playing in the rain. The soup that stays on the spoon, and not in my lap. The paint that doesn't dry so quickly, allowing me to clean up. The hair that does what is asked. The stain that is gone after a wash.The car that goes the extra mile, when it is on empty. ...And mostly, the door that doesn't slam in my face.

Reply:The very answers to your question here attest to the fact that there really are no "little things" in life, are there? Everything is meaningful, satisfying, and precious in its own unique way. ... Unless of course, people consider children, love, wives, husbands, family, helping others, etc., "little things in life"! :-) If so, then I suppose "little things in life" should be redefined as "humongous meaningless things", like say A Big Pile of Organic Compost! ... I am afraid "linear thinking" isn't always as glorious and/or satisfying as it is made out to be. ... Great Question!

Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?

This question is especially for Indians working/living in Australia. Do you feel satisfied with the work you are doing? And do you think you are improving your leadership skills and getting chances to show your leadership skills? Or do you feel that you are stuck in a routine kind of job and your personality has become more like a submissive and polite follower rather than like an enthusiastic leader?


And do you think you could ever get a similar salary package working in India?


What has been your experience and what are your views about these issues? If possible, please give detailed answers. Thanks

Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?
The place is not a concern. Wherever we are, as long as the work is ethical and also, we are proving our excellence for the benefit of the organization that is paying us, should be giving a rewarding satisfaction. Sometimes, in the current working atmosphere, there may be parasites that attempt to jeopardize our mental tranquility by involving in dirty politics. I would say, we just need to ignore them.





I would actually recommend this tool called Todolist http://www.codeproject.com/KB/applicatio... which supports managing of our tasks effectively.
Reply:Since you have mentioned Australia I reckon you need some views on how Indians relate themselves when they work for a White. No No, do not jump to conculsions. I am not a racist. This view is shared by many Indians who have returned to India for good after one or two decades of stay abroad. Well I live and work in the Middle East. My place is not relevant. In my work I either report to or work with people of other nationality, predominantly people who cannot be labelled as "Coloured". First I will answer your questions.





Satisfaction in Job: Well it depends on whether your work is related to your specific qualification and training which you have had in India before coming abroad. As against the work atmosphere in India, if you like your work, working abroad should be enjoyable. You would hardly find petty poiltics in the office. People will not think twice before saying sorry, or thanks. Your contribution to the org. will be recognized and rewarded. But the demerit is despite your hard work, Indians are not rated highly by foreigners and if you intend to occupy the CEO's seat in the org. ,one day, forget it.





Leadership skills: This related to the above issue. Well within your work-framework you will be considered as a team leader. In fact the word team leader came to India from abroad. The usual designation is "manager". If you lead your assistants well and do your job and meet the deadlines your leadership skills should get fine tuned.





Routine - submissiveness - and politeness: Well being polite does not mean you are sub-servient. You will find CEOs of MNCs very polite. Routine work; yes. You cannot diversify so much. Unless you complete your daily agenda you will have problems with your boss. Most Indians have a feeling that they are in some way inferior to their counterparts in the West. Being meek and submissive probably emanates from the strict household discipline which is followed in most Indian homes. Indians address strangers with "Sir" when there is no need. In certain societies in India, a wife cannot mention the name of her husband even in his absence. Grown up sons do not see their father eye to eye and talk. When we go abroad we carry this feeling that to whoever you are reporting in your work is a Guru and should be held in awe. Actually we cannot blame Aussies or for that matter any white for this issue. Your white boss does not mind if you address him as Mr. so and so. Can you do it in India? Imagine going into the Chairman's room of any Indian nationalised bank and calling him as Mr. Gupta or Mr Sharma and start the conversation. For the sake of few dollars more, if Indians cringe and crawl before a foreign employer, they are not to be blamed.





Pay package: After 2000 the salary of an average Indian in whatever field he is in, has shot up. This cannot be denied. I have found an exodus of Indian executives from ME heading directly to Bombay. People who have had a long tenure abroad, are returning. Pay is good now in Bharat.





But despite all this, working abroad has its own fun. You will not find a govt., servant expecting tip for everything he does for you; you have single window system when you deal with govt. agencies which comfort is not there, or only limitedly, in India; you will not find people jumping the line in airport to check-in; you will find stranger holding the door open for you when you are holding your child; places are neat and clean (Singapore for instance); Driving is a pleasure and you will not get the feeling that all other drivers are set to exterminate you; letters sent by ordinary post reach the next day whereas in our country you get the appointment order from the Employment exchange for a post you applied when you graduated delivered to you when your son is about to join Engg., college, and the like. Yes life is good. Unless you are so homesick. In that case, even if you get a well paid job in Denmark, which is rated as the best country to live in, you will not be happy.





To close, whenever I think of returning to India, I am really scared. No not as long as parliamentarins and legislators change. Australians may not be the best bosses to work for, but in a ten point scale where one end is occupied by an Indian caste-ridden prejudiced underqualified and foul mouthed MD, and the other end by an Aussie, nothing wrong in voting in his favour.





Love all, Krish.


I hate being just the good "Worker Bee" at work. I want alot more satisfaction out of work! How do I get it?

To get satisfaction from your job you need to be happy with yourself.





I too was the good "worker bee" but I started attending college courses, seminars and doing a myriad of other things to increase my knowledge and experience.





Doing this gave me a sense of self satisfaction and showed my boss I was serious about my job and company advancement.

Why do some people get a thrill/satisfaction out of lying?

i know this one guy who likes to lie just for the sake of lying. . he doesnt even have to lie. he just lies cause he likes to.

Why do some people get a thrill/satisfaction out of lying?
I'm not a very captivating person. This is because I generally deal in that which is real and true to a fault. I don't even embellish just a little bit. Consequently, I do not get that much satisfaction in social interactions with other people.





Social interaction is a lot more fun, if you lie. Plus, the liar is usually the life of the party!
Reply:Nice legs!





He lies because it gives him a feeling of being able to get a one up on people. I lied to you and you believed it; thus, I am smarter than you for being able to trick you. This is probably the way he thinks about it. By lying to you, he feels that he can elevate himself above you.
Reply:Cos the truth is usually

Reply:He is insecure with his natural ordinaryness, which most of us have most of the time, and wants the benefit that the out of the ordinary statement brings to him.





Some people grow out of it, in degrees, and some never do. All you can do is confront when you suspect a lie, and risk losing the friendship of someone like this. If continuously confronted, he may back away from you, or he may change.

Reply:some people are like that.... not very good as you will never know when they are telling the truth!!!!
Reply:It is probably the rush of creation... to make people believe or consider/duel in something. Sometimes it is to avoid a long painful explanation that has no purpose or consequence. When in unimportant situations I sometimes make up some whopper for entertainment... Eventually, and rather soon, I come clean! I do it to see how much people are willing to believe. Size them up...! And to entertain myself in their amazement. Sometimes, it gets pretty crazy as I keep on pushing it(It is funnier the crazier it gets)! Mostly, it becomes a subject of conversation after I purposely come clean and say I was just messing with "them". Clearly it is nothing that would cause people harm.


Eg.


1. I once convinced someone that I, at that time a 22 years old guy, had 4 kids. Each with a different woman, and they were all friends' wives... It was incredible that it took this person so long to call me on it! My response to their affront was a resoundingly joyous "damn right it is BS! Come on, what were you thinking? Look at me! I pose it eloquently without shame!"


Posed like a friendly joke played on their expense...


2. Someone you barely know and has no personal business with you asks why are you so quiet? The truth may be that you had a bad fight with your spouse that might lead to divorce. But you say you just have a headache, or something like that. It was none of their business and made no difference at all for them, but it kept you from further explanations of your personal life when you are already disturbed by the matter!

Reply:Ask senator Clinton. This would be her area of expertise after all.
Reply:i know a girl that lies for the sake of it. she has no reason for lying and doesnt do it to gain anything. just stupid lies sometimes like that she had mcdonalds for breakfast when she didnt. my and another friend have found out many times that she is lying but didnt bother confronting her, in the end we did and she still was adament that she was telling the truth and that other people we lying (this was a big lie we confronted her about). i think it is called "compulsive lying" when they are so used to lying to impress people that they make up things in their heads that havent actually happened and where they lie so much they start to beleive it themselves. they are living in paralell usiverses!
Reply:He might have a problem and he could need professional help. I guess it would be hard to convince a liar he needs help though, they'd be lying to themselves too.





I guess I could see how lying could be fun though. I mean take a look at the definition





1.a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood.





It's like a game. Anyone who can regularly deceive someone (a good liar) is like someone who is good at chess. They basically have to out wit their opponent. I tell you a story you ask me questions about my story and I have to be one step ahead of you. Further, studies have shown that the brain works like seven times harder to tell a lie. That's probably why people do weird little things when they are lying (talking with their hands when they don't usually do or weird facial expressions or some other weird thing they don't usually do). I guess because more parts of the brain are activated at a time it could be chemical.. But, I'm not a psychologist or a Biologist or a brain surgeon so I couldn't say for sure. It does feel good to think though.
Reply:there's a saying that is really applicable in life that, "old habits die hard" that must be the reason why he lies so much. Its become so long ago that he continues to lie only for the benefit of pleasure within him. knowing that he messes with people and seeing their reaction is his own ecstasy as one might say. Its become his pasttime and it will not change unless you want it to and do something to do so.
Reply:He must not feel good of himself, to me he is insecure and wants to bring others down to his level, If he is lying bout yourself i would comfront him and tell him off. then not hang out with him and let others know he lies and maybe someday it will get back to him to realize how many ppl he has hurt with his lies.
Reply:They are teasers, they like being chased but not caught, because then, their game would be over and their life would not be fun . They kind of resemble a running smile.
Reply:Compulsive liars make for great writers.


Which career do you think is best in terms of salary and satisfaction and employebility?

Art, Psychology or Translater/Interpreter?

Which career do you think is best in terms of salary and satisfaction and employebility?
no money in art, but probably pretty fun


psychology - money to be made, but every tom, dick, and harry is trying to be a psychologist, or something related!!!





translator, interpreter - could be tough at times, but you would ALWAYS have a job and you would probably make big big money. Think about it, not alot of people in the US want to learn another language, much less the english language lol. You would always be needed in some industry!!
Reply:Cheese taster would be my pick but I see you didn't list it.. Art and Psychology aren't really careers, so by default it would be translater and interpreter. Best of luck.


What is the MOST PRACTICAL way of thinking to get the MOST SATISFACTION in LIFE?

Be specific.

What is the MOST PRACTICAL way of thinking to get the MOST SATISFACTION in LIFE?
Optimism and only optimism is the best way out for living life full of gaiety and laughter. And who is an optimist? One who always perceives glass half full is nearer to God than a pessimistic who visualizes glass half empty. The bickering of a pessimistic never stop! On the contrary... optimist always looks forward to life as a challenge... as a gift of God Almighty!





Life is not reaching the end of the journey... the journey itself is life! When Edmund Hillary reached the top of Mount Everest... he was the unhappiest man on Mother Earth. His exclaim... I have reached the end of my life... I have nowhere to go further... there is nothing higher than Mount Everest... my life shall stagnate now... he truly was disturbed on this account!





As of present... we find Bill Clinton a happier person than the present incumbent George Bush... the president of United States of America. It is all in our genes... our pattern of thinking! The cluster of positive thoughts... the most crucial asset of an optimist is what makes or mar a man! Riding on the waves of positive thinking... any human being can reach any goal of life!





Satisfaction and contentment in life are derived from happiness that comes from within. True happiness is not an asset only of rich people. The poorest of the poor may be worldly wise and happy! On the contrary... the richest of all may lead an unhappy life! Positive thinking is that ingredient in the life of all human beings that is crucial for a happy living!





It has been rightly said, "every human being is the sum total of all his thoughts at a given point of time". The difference between a king and a laborer lies in their pattern of thinking. As per the doctrine of karma... we only get what we sow... Nothing more or less! In the domain of God there are no free lunches. All is the result of a system that cannot err!





Indulging in vice one cannot expect a sunny disposition and godly thinking! Neither do mangoes grow on a guava tree! Whatever we desire out of life can be achieved by following a positive pattern of thought all the time. This is what made Bill Gates... the success story of all wise men! No successful person ever harbors thoughts of ill will about anyone whatsoever!





Harboring groveling and grousing thoughts... one falls into vice! Godly thinking leads towards a sunny disposition... a life full of satisfaction and happiness! Maintaining a positive attitude all the time is the real crux of life! Most human beings mar life by anger nor do one practice forgiveness. All human beings are born equal... the difference lies only in their thinking! More on thoughts - http://www.godrealized.org/truce_with_my...
Reply:Understanding that everything I experience and observe is only a reflection of what I am made of, or who I am, good, bad or indifferent. Only by understanding who we are and what abilities we have can we create a fulfilling experience called life.
Reply:There's nothing practical about satisfaction. You'll have to be more specific as to what satisfaction is.


Of course, I'll just say love, and I'm sure that's not specific at all to you.

Reply:Lowering your standards to a realist level(for real)...! Understanding the limitations of life and those who live it near and far.


Focusing on the good aspects, and keeping all in perspective to the entirety of things not just a small circle of friends, a city, state, or even nation...


Example being that a cold, old pizza or any other "less than perfect" meal can be extremely satisfying if you remember there are those who watch their children starve to death... and are impotent to help themselves!

Is it widely known that having more children is linked to lower marital satisfaction?

Twenge, J. M., Campbell, W. K., %26amp; Foster, C. A. (2003). Parenthood and marital satisfaction: A meta-analytic review. Journal of Marriage and the Family, 65, 574-583.





Abstract: This meta-analysis finds that parents report lower marital satisfaction compared to nonparents (d = -.19, r = -.10). There is also a significant negative correlation between marital satisfaction and number of children (d = -.13, r = -.06). The difference in marital satisfaction is most pronounced among mothers of infants (38% of mothers of infants have high marital satisfaction, compared to 62% of childless women). For men, the effect remains similar across ages of children. The effect of parenthood on marital satisfaction is more negative among high socioeconomic groups, younger birth cohorts, and in more recent years. The data suggest that marital satisfaction decreases after the birth of a child due to role conflicts and restriction of freedom.

Is it widely known that having more children is linked to lower marital satisfaction?
The correlation they found is far from r = -1, meaning that other factors are way more important than having (more) children. Also, averages don't apply to individuals... in some people their marriage might get way better the more kids they have, in others the opposite.





The data aren't that surprising though... high socioeconomic groups, younger birth cohorts and people in more recent years have relatively been spoiled, believing they can have it all and do it all and that just isn't true, which causes more role conflicts in them and a larger restriction of freedom. Another thing is that those groups might have less support from their family and such because they're more likely to live far from their parents etc.





I'll admit that I've looked at my husband with a more critical eye since I've gotten pregnant though... suddenly he's the person that's going to have to be a good role model for raising our kids and he has to get a job to bring in money, which is just a more important role than just being my spouse. I don't think my marital satisfaction has gone down yet, but our baby won't be born until August.





Not sure what the point of mentioning this study is anyway... if people don't have kids then there won't be any people to take care of you when you're 80yo... so kids are a necessary "evil" if you want.
Reply:Scientific data can be skewed to make anything seem possible. In all reality if you talk to people on your own in the real world they will tell you that children have enhanced their lives, not the other way around. I have 2 children and I am very happy in my marriage. My kids have done nothing but enhance our relationship and love, not deter it. Sure, some things change when the first baby is born, and more so the second. But if you marry someone who you truly love then those changes are a good thing, and come with a lot of satisfaction and happiness.
Reply:I would not say it is widely known. That said, this is really interesting. I appreciate you posting it. At a glance, it seems to make sense. That said, I wonder what number of people were polled? There is a tendency for studies like this to oversimplify the problem, or base their decisions on too small a sample. Not saying that is the case. I just wonder about it when I see something throwing numbers around like this. Ultimately, the statistics don't matter as much as the individuals.
Reply:it also depends on if you are religious and don't use birth control and are popping out unwanted kids because you have a healthy sex life. you need to make a compromise. I know people that have lots of kids not because they want to but because they refuse to use any form of birth control. these people are in love and love there children, but it is really hard on them having so many kids. I want a couple kids, and after that I am getting a visectomy or something. In other words I want to have my "pie" and eat it too.
Reply:I think it depends on your values. My marrage has been strenghtened by children. We used to fight about stupid little things, not we focus on the big picture.
Reply:we have 6 kids and it does put a big strain on the marraige. It was a little easier when we just had one and then it just gets worse from there. we have 4 teenagers and they say children are miracles but......... oh well I hope you get what I'm saying. you know I just thought about something, its kinda like friendships too. when you have one or two friends its great but then if you have 7 or 8 friends things get busy and more complicated and all of them become lesser important.
Reply:I think it is possible it the parents are not ready and don't really know how to deal with martial/family issues - it is all in the people and how they think/deal/handle situations! But over all it you think of it like what they are saying it is likely to happen that way - but if you think of it positivly it will be more positivity
Reply:Having kids means less frequent sex. That's all. Not nessissarily lower satisfaction.
Reply:If you can focus on your marriage often and make time for each other, even if its just to hire a babysitter for an hour while you get a coffee and talk, then you can have satisfaction in your marriage. You just have to work together to make it work.
Reply:well me and my wife have 4 kids (a set of twins) and we have been happly married for about 15 years
Reply:"The effect of parenthood on marital satisfaction is more negative among high socioeconomic groups, younger birth cohorts, and in more recent years. "





Well there's your answer. I don't know anyone for whom this is true, and our family is full of large groups. We have seven kids ourselves, and our marriage is just as wonderful as ever. However, we don't focus on money (high socioeconomic group), ourselves (younger birth cohorts), and we don't fall into the schemes of modern society that self and money are more important than family (recent years)
Reply:Not only have I been saying this my entire life but I have witnessed it in my own life as well as many of my friends life. If you marry the wrong person, having a child will tear that marriage apart. If you marry the right person, having a child brings you closer together. I have seen it time and time again. You can tell who the people are that TRULY love each other and have a family, they are closer than most married people. We live in a society now where it is too easy to marry on a whim and too easy to divorce because you don't agree on something.





Waiting for that special someone, marrying them (and you know it when you are with them) and having children with them only makes life better. You lose some things, like your sanity (only kidding) but you gain so much more. Yeah the sex becomes almost non existant, yeah there are new stresses, but you also gain a respect and an understanding of one another in a way that you never knew you could.

Reply:I haven't found that. I think it depends on the relationship. We don't have "role conflicts" or feel that our freedom is restricted. Of course there's a bit of time after having a baby that isn't quite as, erm, involved, due to the body recovering and then the sleepless night thing, but once that's over it was normal service, if you get my meaning! If anything, our relationship is stronger now than before kids as we see new sides to each other all the time which strengthens the feelings we have towards each other. That has lead to a better experience physically and mentally for us.
Reply:Think about it, discuss it thoroughly and negotiate roles and responsibilities well before having children and most of the reported problems go away. People don't get married or get mortgages without a lot of discussion and research, entering into parenthood should warrant the same planning. Hubby and I did all the talking and negotiating about children even before we got married.

A formal customer satisfaction/loyalty program is being implemented for the first time in the company, hence any tips, do's and don'ts in this regard is appreciated. If you have had any experience working with vendors offering this program vs. tracking this via internal resources, I would love to hear from you. Thanks.

Is there a recommended customer satisfaction survey vendor for small-medium sized firm in the bay area, CA?
you could try doing it yourself at zoomerang.com or survey monkey. make sure to ask about whether the customer is happy enough to buy again and avoid giving the customer the "middle" choice i.e. make them chose whether they are satisfied or not so you really know where they stand. good luck.


Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?

This question is especially for Indians working/living in Australia. Do you feel satisfied with the work you are doing? And do you think you are improving your leadership skills and getting chances to show your leadership skills? Or do you feel that you are stuck in a routine kind of job and your personality has become more like a submissive and polite follower rather than like an enthusiastic leader?


And do you think you could ever get a similar salary package working in India?


What has been your experience and what are your views about these issues? If possible, please give detailed answers. Thanks

Cell Phone Providers: How would you improve Customer Service/Satisfaction?
Telecom: change everything. im not racist in the slightest but it's be a hell of a lot ezya if they had english-speaking ppl on the helpline. i almost wouldnt be suprised if telecom do it on purpose so instead of having to fix all the things wrong with the phones/internet etc, the ppl calling up get so ****** frustrated waiting for an hour or repeating themselves over and over to the operator or being transfered 1000 times only to be cut off that they give up and hang up.


thank christ they're no longer a monopoly!!

Reply:lol yeah having people from india assist you is crazy. but another thing is having some staff that actually know what they're talking about. i find it funny that i don't work for any cell phone company; but i can call them and actually fill them in on things about phones that they didnt know.

How some can have happy life, full of joy and satisfaction.?

Every human in the world wants a happy life full of joy and satisfaction. How he can achieve this goal in his life.

How some can have happy life, full of joy and satisfaction.?
The only guarantee of happiness is to love yourself. All the money, fame, friends and worldly success you can imagine will not make you happy if you feel empty inside %26amp; hate yourself. Too many people think that superficial things or other people will make them happy but they don't love themselves. %26amp; so they feel a void which nothing %26amp; no one can ever fill. They think if they get a better job, a bigger house, nicer car, designer clothes, a million friends etc etc that they'll feel fulfilled but they don't. They may even turn to drugs or alcohol to deal with the feeling of emptiness because they can't see the truth...





If you accept %26amp; like who you are %26amp; take good care of yourself %26amp; do things you enjoy %26amp; live authentically %26amp; follow your dreams then it is impossible not to be happy.





But if you don't accept or like yourself, if you hurt yourself in various ways with unhealthy addictions (eating disorders, alcohol or drug use etc) if you deny yourself the things you enjoy %26amp; live a lie, living for others instead of following your own heart, if you deny your dreams %26amp; give up on them, then it is impossible to be happy.





People don't like this answer. They don't want to hear it. They may give it a thumbs down. Because it's the truth. It is so simple %26amp; yet for many of us it can be the hardest thing to achieve.





People who experience joy %26amp; satisfaction in life are happy with themselves.





You can learn to be more positive, more kind to yourself. To celebrate your strengths, accept your weaknesses, like who you are. It just takes work but is worth it.

happiness is just a matter of attitude.
Reply:Depends on the individual. What matters is realizing that one must create as best as possible an environment that makes one happy. Most people confuse this with living a life that is pleasing- feeling pleased is not the same as being happy. Some people are not aware that they have a happy environment because they are not pleased.


Everything is relative and happiness, pleasure, sadness, and unhappiness are all in every situation but doled according to the people or person there. The human drive that tells us to keep getting better can react to certain situations with stubbornness, or the part of us that manifests guilt will hold us back from a happiness we simply need reach out for.


The goal is before us and in us all we should do is allow ourselves to perceive it. Keep striving for better things and a more fulfilling life but remember that no matter how high or low you are the same happiness is there.


What makes a person happy? That depends on the person


It usually has to do with a spiritual content and a realization/acceptance of who and what he is.

Unhappy with current job; Need to figure what should I do to which will give job satisfaction?

Based on a lenghthy discusson with a collegue last friday, where she is deciding to leave her current job and perhaps do nothing for few months to figure what exactly she wants do in her life. She is 28 yrs, single so perhaps can take the risk of not having a job.


My point is, why cant she figure out what she wants to do while working. I just feel that she is taking a drastic action. Of course, she has numerous example where people have done it and ended up making a right choice and every thing ended well.

Unhappy with current job; Need to figure what should I do to which will give job satisfaction?
If they are single, no kids, and have money saved up or parents who seem to throw money at them, they'll do it. The generation coming up seems to not work like alot of people. They seem to want to enjoy life more. It'll be interesting to see how our country is doing 20 years from now when they are all supporting us...scary thought. "Let's just take a break, don't like how it's going...." Yikes.

The local Mail Boxes, Etc in Jalisco, Mexico is incompetent. They lie to you when questioned and do not do what they say they will do. I have asked them to track missing packages and magazines and the do nothing. Since there is little competition as a way to get our mail from the states we are stuck using this franchise. I have spoken to other box holders who are equally upset. I would like to find how to reach the right person at this huge corporation and get this situation corrected.

First u must document your complaint basis on some logical resons. then prepare a good text and send it for the related department in the main office (eg. customer relation or after sales services or so on). don't forget to send a cc or bcc to the general manager and any other manager that you have his or her email address.. after a while you can call them to see what happenedto your email.

Do you think its ok to work for money and not job satisfaction?

I am stuck in a s*** job, but the moneys good, theres not much work,, but there is no job satisfaction.. now the question here is





should I try to make it more interesting cause right now I dont have that many options and secondly the money is quite good.. so dont know..

Do you think its ok to work for money and not job satisfaction?
I think we all do that from time to time. Use this job to figure out what it is you do like about the job and what you don't like. Take that information and start looking for employment that you do feel would satisfy you. When you have a job that you are making good money in, it gives you more leverage as you look for more suitable employment. So the answer to your question is: Short term-yes; Long term-No (for your own satisfaction)
Reply:I guess its "ok"... people do it everyday.





However, for your sanity- maybe you should quietly look around and keep your options open. Don't close the door before you even peak through it.





From the company aspect- as long as you are not causing a problem with absenteeism or morale, then no problem.

Those types of drugs restrict bloodflow, not only in your genetalia but in the fine capillaries in your eyes. They've been linked to vision impairment.





Not only that, but the gear in your underwear is like a little conscience. It knows something you don't. Fix your relationship and "those" problems go away.
Reply:First, it is NOT a recreational drug (meaning take it just to take it). It is marketed for men with specific problems. If you have no problem with male arousal, there is no reason for you to take it.





Get a prescription from your doctor and take it to your local pharmacy. They will have the real stuff and not the fake stuff you see advertised all over the Internet.





As for being safe, that is part of the reason you need to see your doctor first. If you have heart ailments or other problems, it can be dangerous.
Reply:Sildenafil citrate, sold under the names Viagra, Revatio and (in the Indian subcontinent) Caverta, is a drug used to treat male erectile dysfunction (impotence) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer. Viagra pills, intended to treat impotence, are blue with the words "Pfizer" on one side and "VGR xx" (with xx representing 25, 50 or 100, the dose of that pill in milligrams) on the other.





History


Sildenafil, initially known as compound UK-92,480, was initially developed to treat angina pectoris (a form of cardiovascular disease). Phase I clinical trials suggested that the drug had little effect on angina, but that it could induce marked penile erections. Pfizer therefore decided to market it for erectile dysfunction, rather than for angina. The drug was patented in 1996, approved for use in erectile dysfunction by the FDA on March 27, 1998, becoming the first pill approved to treat erectile dysfunction in the United States, and offered for sale in the United States later that year. It soon became a great success: annual sales of Viagra in the period 1999–2001 exceeded $1 billion.





The name "Viagra", like many drug names, is a marketing invention. It was possibly inspired by the Sanskrit word "vyāghra", which means "tiger". The word rhymes with "Niagara" (Niagara Falls is a popular honeymoon destination and Niagara, being such an impressive cataract, evokes a sense of incredible erectile and ejaculatory strength). The sound of the word also suggests the words "vigor" and "virile".





Even though Viagra is only available by prescription from a doctor, it was advertised directly to consumers on TV (famously being endorsed by Bob Dole). Numerous sites on the Internet offer Viagra for sale after an "online consultation," a mere web questionnaire. The "Viagra" name has become so well known that many fake aphrodisiacs now call themselves "herbal Viagra" or are presented as blue tablets imitating the shape and colour of Pfizer's product. A mixture of Viagra and ecstasy, called sextasy, has become popular among rave partygoers. Viagra is also informally known as "Vitamin V", "the Blue Pill", and goes by various other nicknames.





It has been suggested that Viagra would lead to a marked drop in the demand for certain traditional remedies, such as tiger penises and rhinoceros horns and that the drug may therefore help to preserve these endangered species. However, this is unlikely in that these parts of endangered species are not only used to treat impotence. Rhinoceros horns, for example, are used as a treatment for high fever. Furthermore, since Viagra has not been shown to possess aphrodisiac properties, it is unclear that the natural remedies would compete with this new clinical drug.





Pfizer's worldwide patents on sildenafil citrate will expire in 2011–2013. The UK patent held by Pfizer on the use of PDE5 inhibitors (see below) as treatment of impotence has been invalidated in 2000 because of obviousness; this decision was upheld on appeal in 2002.





[edit]


Mechanism of action


Part of the physiological process of erection involves the parasympathetic nervous sytem to release nitric oxide (NO) in the corpus cavernosum of the penis. NO binds to the receptors of the enzyme guanylate cyclase which results in increased levels of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), leading to smooth muscle relaxation (vasodilation) in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in increased inflow of blood and an erection.





Sildenafil is a potent and selective inhibitor of cGMP specific phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) which is responsible for degradation of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum. The molecular structure of sildenafil is similar to that of cGMP and acts as a competitive binding agent of cGMP in the corpus cavernosum, resulting in better erections. Without sexual stimulation and no activation of the NO/cGMP system, sildenafil should not cause an erection. Other drugs that operate by the same mechanism include tadalafil (Cialis®) and vardenafil (Levitra®).





Sildenafil is metabolised by hepatic enzymes and excreted by both the liver and kidneys. If taken with a high fat meal, there may be a delay in absorption of sildenafil and the net effect might be muted slightly as the plasma concentration will be lowered.





Some reports have claimed that sildenafil causes enhanced sexual pleasure for women by increasing blood flow to the sexual organs.





[edit]


Dosage and price


As with all prescription drugs, proper dosage is at the discretion of a licensed medical doctor. The dose of sildenafil is 25 mg to 100 mg taken once per day between 0.5 to 4 hours before sexual intercourse.





It is usually recommended to start with a dosage of 50 mg and then lower or raise the dosage as appropriate. The drug is sold in three dosages (25, 50, and 100 mg), all three costing about USD$10 per pill. Sildenafil is not scored, meaning there is no guarantee that the drug is evenly distributed throughout the tablet, therefore it is not advisable to cut it to change dosage.





[edit]


Contraindications and side effects


Contraindications include:





When taking other nitric oxide donors, organic nitrites and nitrates, such as glyceryl trinitrate, sodium nitroprusside, amyl nitrite ("poppers") (Cheitlin et al 1999)


In men for whom sexual intercourse is inadvisable due to cardiovascular risk factors


Severe hepatic impairment (decreased liver function)


Severe impairment in renal function


Hypotension (low blood pressure)


Recent stroke or heart attack


Hereditary degenerative retinal disorders (including genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases)


Amongst sildenafil's serious adverse effects are: priapism, severe hypotension, myocardial infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, sudden death, stroke and increased intraocular pressure.





Common side effects include sneezing, headache, flushing, dyspepsia, prolonged erections, palpitations and photophobia. Visual changes including blurring of vision and a curious bluish tinge have also been reported.





In May of 2005, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found that sildenafil could lead to vision impairment. An investigation is currently underway. Some patients developed nonarteritic ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), an eye problem that can result in permanent vision loss. Combined with past reports, this study brings the total number of sildenafil-related NAION cases to 14.





Some users complained of blurriness and some a loss of peripheral vision. It appears that there is a hereditary condition described as a "cup" in the retina that is the constant among all cases.





[edit]


Uses outside of erectile dysfunction


[edit]


Pulmonary hypertension


Studies have shown that apart from in erectile dysfunction, sildenafil citrate is also effective in the rare disease pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It appears to relax the arterial wall, decreasing the pressure on the lung vasculature and improving symptoms of right-sided heart failure. Due to the distribution of PDE-5, which is primarily in the smooth muscle of the lungs and penis, sildenafil acts selectively in both these areas without inducing vasodilation in other areas of the body. As a result of these studies, Pfizer submitted an additional registration for sildenafil with the FDA, and was approved for this indication in June 2005. Presumably to avoid confusion with Viagra, the preparation is named Revatio and the 20 milligram tablets are white and round. Sildenafil follows bosentan and prostacyclin as therapies for this condition.





[edit]


Raynaud's phenomenon


In 2005, Dr. Roland Fries and colleagues reported that sildenafil cut the frequency of Raynaud's phenomenon attacks, reduced their duration by roughly one half, and more than quadrupled the mean capillary blood velocity. This was a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial and the patients had both the primary and secondary forms and had all discontinued the more conventional treatments for this (Fries et al 2005). It had earlier been reported to be effective for Raynaud's in a 65-year-old woman with scleroderma and pulmonary hypotension (Rosenkranz et al 2003); (Rosenkranz et al 2004), and in nine women and one man treated by a Dr. Jack R. Lichtenstein of Annapolis, Maryland over a three-year period (Lichtenstein 2003).

Maybe it's Nature's way of not letting yourself feel left out, or to not make it completely unbenefitial from your side to help others.

Managers should do everything they can to enhance the job satisfaction of their employees.?
You can not satisfy all the people all of the time. Even if you have the ability to do that. I think that a manager should supply a climate that most people are happy in. You have rules and regulations that the company has set. But within the manager's power and within the good of the total department, you should do everything to enhance the job satisfaction of the employees. The key to that is understanding the priorities of the workers. I had a group that I got when I was hired who was in real conflict. I gave them a list of 10 or so items and asked them to individually prioritize them. I used that to understand the priorities of the individuals. I had a supervisor that actually asked for a demotion because he did not want the responsibility and understood that he would get a pay cut. Made him a better employee and increased the Job satisfaction of the whole department.
Reply:Assuming said employees understand their responsibility to act fiduciary in the best interests of the employer, yes.

What can you do to get better customer satisfaction as a customer?

1.) Be nice.


2.) Be easy to do business with.


3.) Do business with organizations that score well with J.D. Power and Associates.


4.) Do business with organizations that score well with the Better Business Bureau.


5.) Do business with organizations that are recommended by their local chamber of commerce.


6.) Pay on time (business have nasty terms for customer that don't like "account spending limit" or "responsibility challenged" that they use to identify customers that they will treat with more of a Wal*Mart than Ritz Carlton approach.)


7.) Do your homework. Research companies and just use them for what they are good at.


8.) Deal with the highest paid employee you can. It never fails, businesses take their most valuable asset (their customer) and place it with their lowest paid employee (customer service). Yahoo or Google words like "executive services" "BBB" or "account executive" to find the real employee of a company you should be talking to.


9.) Let the company know how much money you spend with them, and how much you intend to spend with them.


10.) Luck - I know it sounds silly, but I always get good service no matter whether it is at a restaurant or call center - I just luck out.

What can you do to get better customer satisfaction as a customer?

Well there has been some evidence that peopel who live amongst too much noise level can have higher levels of anxiety and health problems. Also electronic gadgets that interfere with your body's energy fields. So from that perspective, it woudl be better to live out in the country.


But many people like the busy city life, of course, or they woudln't live there. it has a level of personal satisfaction for some, that it doesnt have for others. its ultimately personal choice, but becuase how it affects your body ;)

Is life that useless that we humans need sexual satisfaction?

What I am trying to point out is if our sexual orgaszms, explosions, cumming, any kind of sexual satisfactions or stimulations; are completely deleted from this day on from both male and female. Would there be any adulterers or pornography, rape, murder, divorce, unwanted pregnancies, or beatings, any sexual related harm fear or crime,because someone believed they needed to get off?

Is life that useless that we humans need sexual satisfaction?
Beatings, murder and divorce would still occur, but you have a good point about the rest of the list. It would be interesting to find out what kind of decline would occur if sexual gratification were eliminated from humans. Isn't that why castration was the punishment issued (long ago) for rape and such sex crimes? How much of those things would still occur as a result of an unhealthy need to dominate others? Good question!
Reply:Rape has nothing to do with sexual desire, it is an assertion of power, domination taken to the extreme. Beatings and murder also fall in that category.


Divorce - you would have a lot more of those without the sex.


Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?

This question is especially for Indians working/living in Australia. Do you feel satisfied with the work you are doing? And do you think you are improving your leadership skills and getting chances to show your leadership skills? Or do you feel that you are stuck in a routine kind of job and your personality has become more like a submissive and polite follower rather than like an enthusiastic leader?


And do you think you could ever get a similar salary package working in India?


What has been your experience and what are your views about these issues? If possible, please give detailed answers. Thanks

Do you get work satisfaction working abroad?
I haven't (Hawaii doesn't count), but would like to as well.

When choosing a career did you choose on what would give you more money or more satisfaction?

Did you choose to do something you really like and knew you would enjoy doing, or something you knew would make it easy to find a job and/or make money for sure?

When choosing a career did you choose on what would give you more money or more satisfaction?
Always choose what will give you satisfaction. Chasing money is a waste of time.
Reply:i guess satisfaction if u have satisfaction in life u are intersted in that work otherwise money u can earn by hardwork also and when u have both satisfaction and money then :)
Reply:I'm with you. You should spend your time doing what you enjoy or what you believe in. I always wanted to help children who had it tough. There is no money in it. But, I feel that if I can be a positive influence on some child, my life means something. I chose this way to go because some one helped me and I just wanted to keep the good Karma going.
Reply:In the long run, you'll want to be happy. But that doesn't mean you should close your mind to all the careers that include your interest(s). For example, I like to write. There are many fields in which I could work, but I chose TV news. The pay was horrible when I first started, but now, after hopping jobs and towns, I'm doing SO much better.





You can find something that will satisfy you and compensate you, you'll just have to look. And pay some dues.





Anything's possible!


How do you define Job Satisfaction?

1) Locational advantage


2) Good office/work place ambience


3) Treatment meted out to you by the organisation


4) Congenial relationship with your boss/colleagues


5) Scope for promotions


6) Appropriate salary


7) Scope for your value addition to the job that you do





All these seven parmeters contibute to your job satisfaction. Am I right?

How do you define Job Satisfaction?
Simple, looking forward to work each day and enjoying it while youre there.
Reply:All correct.
Reply:8)Enjoying what you do


9)Knowing you have done something really efficient or productive


10)Not being bored by repetitive tasks


11)Finding new challenges exciting


12)Having a decent amount of holidays
Reply:After personal experience, I can safely say that job satisfaction is a job where you are happy in doing. Each person is different so each of us have different factors in deciding how happy they are at a job. With the factors above, I would say 1, 3 and 4 as being the most important with 2 and 5 coming in close second. As for salary, I would rather do a job that I love for low pay, than a high paid job which leaves me feeling suicidal.
Reply:Mine is just not wanting to kill myself at the end of the day
Reply:Job satisfaction can be defined as when you're doing a job that you love with a passion; a job that is in line with your talent will always bring out the best of your potential.
Reply:Job satifaction to me is doing a job I love with a passion if you love your job with a passion there is no problem. All you write above helps of course it does but if you do not love what you do what is the point doing something you do not like makes your day miserable. If you are miserable you are less productive, will not get promotion,doubt you will enjoy your fellow workers,salery may reflect by poor performance and so on.

Men with feminist partners reported both more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction?

Research conducted by Laurie A. Rudman, a psychologist at Rutgers University, also seems to point to a hot soapy love connection. Her study, recently published in the journal Sex Roles, looked at feminism’s impact on romantic relationships. Among other things, she found that men with feminist partners reported both more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction.

What other positive things has feminism brought to society?

Men with feminist partners reported both more stable relationships and greater sexual satisfaction?
Gee....Laela, not to single you out but....you didn't even answer the question.





Where did it say that the men here are being "lorded" over, when it's the men that are "stepping up to the plate".





Did most of who responded negatively even bother to read the article?





Anyway...to ANSWER the question, I believe that because feminism has given women more options to either choose to stay at home AND to work, men aren't completely obligated to go out there just be sole breadwinners.





Women who believe in a fair balance (feminists) isn't going to assume that because she's a woman in the relationship, that a man is automatically going to take up the role of financial provider simply because gender roles of old had dictated it. She'd also contribute financially especially if the dude she's with isn't a Heart Surgeon or a Wall Street trader.





It's the flip side for a man who just assumes that traditional roles still apply and when he comes home before his wife/girlfriend does and there are dishes still in the sink, he's just going to assume that since she's a woman and that's HER thing to do: cook, clean, help the kids with the homework, check to see if there is food in the fridge, etc….while he goes off and does his own thing that he identifies as being "masculine" in his duties.





If there are dirty dishes to be done and wifey isn't around to do it, he just DOES it because it needs to be done, and isn't about to get into p*ssing match about the fact that since he got the "cajones" around here that he shouldn't EVER be stuck doing the dishes, PERIOD.





It's all about the woman making the man's like easier and less burdensome and the man making a woman's life easier and less burdensome, where we aren't always assessing things from a gender role standpoint.





It's all about balance...
Reply:that's a funny joke.
Reply:Google the backgrounds of the two Researchers. They are both Gender Feminists and Radical Feminists at that. This is Advocacy Research, not peer reviewed and nothing more than phony propaganda. Wishful thinking in fact. Here is another view. Women in the US are getting desperate as more and more Men join the Ghost Nation. And withdraw from our culture. Men are withdrawing from Education, Churches, Marriage, Family, TV, the media. As it has no place for us. So rather than aiding in our own enslavement we are walking away.





Feminists realize that the huge increases in marriages to Foreign Women and the Marriage Strike, will further erode their influence on Men and Women. So they are trying to convince Women that Feminism will mean a happy life. Sorry the empirical evidence loud screams the opposite.





The media should be ashamed for not doing their homework. You can find this out online in less than 20 minutes.
Reply:That makes sense. When two people see each other as equals, they are more likely to be happy.





Feminists have also freed men from having to live up to old fashioned male sexism - like that men have to be tough all the time and be the breadwinner and super successful. I mean, men still face that kind of pressure, but it's a lot less now that feminists (both male and female feminists) have questioned it.
Reply:Is it safe to assume that Dr Laurie A. Rudman is a feminist also?





I'm not sure how I can have good sex with someone who doesn't make a clear distinction between genders and roles. I expect him to be a man with all the definitions it brings. I guess I'm doomed to have bad sex for the rest of my life.
Reply:Lets be honest, most men know who the beta males are. Beta males are more likely to marry alpha females. These results don't surprise me. My sisters who are alpha types married the biggest wimps. I'm ashamed of my brother-in-laws. I don't think they have one testicle between the both of them.

What kind of satisfaction do hackers get from giving people computer viruses?

It used to be about the challenge back in the old days, Now its mostly about money or "fame" if you can call someone knowing you l33t haxor name that.

What kind of satisfaction do hackers get from giving people computer viruses?
Plenty :)





Especially when it buggers up a large corporation - it makes me...ah hem....them, so proud! lol!
Reply:It seems like it is a sense of almost god-like power to be able to just screw with so many people and do that type of damage. It comes from perhaps a person who has been bullied or is just a plain sociopath. They have absolutely no empathy for others and never will. The best anyone can do to fight them is to continue to update their anti-virus software and run all the utilities for it very frequently. Also when using a internet connection which is constantly running even when your computer is shut off, pull the connection out of the wall to keep hackers from further abusing your computer. Now, of course, with all the laptops in town, anyone can use your internet service without you even knowing they are doing so.
Reply:Most of the time they are probably twig armed little geekboys who have no other muscle to flex except there "hacking" muscle.

Reply:Maybe these viruses are designed to send out personal information which they can later use to drain bank accounts.





Others do it in a misguided attempt to get microsoft to clamp down on the vulnerabilities in its applications (many viruses exploit holes which don't need to be there).





Still others do it because it's a challenge and it's bad and they're teenaged kids who get satisfaction from doing something challenging and wrong.
