Kiran replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"Do the right thing, period. If your friends can't handle that then get new friends and ditch the dead beats. If I was Jacob I'd be hella pissed at you guys, and you'd probably never hear from me again. If it's just Matthew…"
Michal replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"Hello everyone, first I'd like to thank you all for great responses.
I would be happy, if I could write some conclusion by now, but I haven't spoken with Matthew since and also haven't dicided, what to do. I'm starting to think,…"
Braddock replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"I think Matthew has some problems in his life right now(big ones)and may even have a problem with "Jacob"
It's hard to say, but it seems like he's got some inner turmoil that hes not telling you all about."
z-man replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"20 minutes can be a long time depending on the situation.
The driver could have been very tired and want to get home as soon as possible.
The driver could also have promised to return the car at a certain moment, but the 20 minute detour could get…"
Nickvda replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"I'd tell him to lighten the frak up. Cause it seems the damage is done already, for example, your asking us for advice or our opinion, what have/are the others doing that thought Matthew was wrong?
You can try to straighten things out, but it…"
sXe SeekerScorpio replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"I was also starting to think when I read this either Matthew had an issue with Jacob during the trip or possibly the past or he probably hated the fact that it Jacob would like to be dropped off at his house at the last second and not mention or…"
Vinay replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"I think you need to give some serious thought to who or what you consider a 'friend'. Often people form 'friendships' based on circumstantial foundation, ie. growing up in the same area - living near someone or going to the same…"
Danface replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"it seems there are limits to his giving after all ;) "losing a friend" though... this is just a hiccup... i'm sure whether there's an apology or not, things will even themselves out soon enough. even without the apology, imo,…"
Kristoffer Liland replied to Michal's discussion Losing friend vs. doing what I think is right?"I'm uncertain about this situation. I think that it was a dick move on the part of your friend to not drive him given the circumstances, 20 minutes is not a long time to waste.
However, a single incident does not define a person, and if he…"
Michal posted a discussionLosing friend vs. doing what I think is right?
Hello everyone, I haven't visited I-power for a long time now, but today I just feel like I have to share a situation of mine. Well, so you understand, I have a very good friend (Matthew), which I have known for 4 years now. As everyone, he has qualities, which I find great and other, which I don't really like. The thing is, that I have been always ok with ignoring annoying things, that he does and ready to explain to others, that it is just part of his nature and defend him in every…See More

ThereAreNoSides replied to Michal's discussion Daniel Pink on the surprising science of motivation"Quite a long video repeating the point many times, but I think it's worth ramming that message home.

You wanna die?
Posted on December 3, 2008 at 11:25pm 9 Comments 0 Likes
Hey, I just saw on the news about an asteroid having a chance of 1 : 45 000 hitting the Earth in 1029 etc, and I wrote my friend if he wants to sleep outside and watch the sky the day it's supposed to fly around us. I'm usually very optimistic about things like that. I can't wait for 2012 to come, so we get some adrenalin, right? But my friend seemed a bit worried of dieing (as it was a big deal) and I got the idea to post that blog.

Hi everyone,

My name is Michal. I have lived/(been citizen) in/(of) Czech Republic for 16 years, since my birth.

And they still manage to live happily. Sometimes even more without the new technology.
totally agree with this one, sometimes people are even happier than the ones who do have all the luxuary, i guess it comes down to livin a careless life that makes you happy, the more you got the more you can worry about
but thanks to reply to my blog :D

Tim Young replied to Tim Young's discussion Capitalism and profit"I believe an entirely new paradigm is required. A global mindset shift away from the notion of "profit" and towards co-existence within a cooperative framework."
