    Managing Sucessful Relationships

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I was wondering how do you manage key relationships in your life? (i.e friends, girlfriends/boyfriends, family) I tend to be more to the "giver" in a relationship however that puts me on a needy side of things and I absolutely hate that. Lately I decided not to give attention to relationships...

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC

    Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?

    How do you deal with the "rainy days".

    Exercise works for me and saying/thinking: "This too shall pass". Negative emotions in general are telling you something you should do, take them as a call to action and not something to avoid.

    WTF Should I Sell?

    Your question is way too open, we do not know your economic conditions, demographics, expertise,etc. Start with identifying a need for a product and see if you can fulfill that need with whatever you decide to sell. Help one person at a time and learn by doing!

    Building relationships

    What helps is to have a tribe (friends, family, coworkers,etc) interested in ONE activity/idea. If you manage to find 4-5 people who have similar points of views and context to meet up on a regular basis I can assure you after a while you will become closer.
