To: "ESL Podcast Study Group" <[email protected]> Date: Saturday, September 12, 2009, 1:05 PM Hello Oshiro Alberto Jason Chaya Claire and so many more, I quite agree with Alberto's attitudes towards life. As I said before,life is far too unpredictable than most people think. We do our best and leave it to the higher intelligence,be it God or the universal power to lead us to the next.;) Oshiro,what you said leads me to a question: Oscar Wilde oncw wrote: "Women are meant to be loved,not understood." I have asked quite a few students what they think about that concept. Most men reacted rather strongly against it. What does it mean to you?;) Good night, Pln On Sep 12, 10:46 am, SIMONE AVNISHA <[email protected]> wrote: > This discussion is getting interesting. > > > > On Sat, Sep 12, 2009 at 2:06 AM, drbenzoni <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hello rational men and multitasking women, > > > when I was younger I used to be very rational in every decision I took.
