And 17% of men were having an affair while dating a woman, 12% male respondents cheated twice and and 22% cheated more than three times. About women, 20% of them betrayed their husbands twice, 10% three times and 15% more than three times.

Signs that You Are Enslaved by Your Job

Today more and more employees have 'vacation deprived syndrome'. This is a syndrome where an employee still doing his works despite being in vacation and thus will not get paid.

This syndrome occurs due to technological progress. With the existence of smart phones and laptops make a worker can be contacted by his superiors at any given time, and there is no objection at all from the worker about it.

A survey conducted by Expedia.com revealed that some people even feel guilty if they take their annual leave even though they know that they are fully entitled for it. If this is your situation, then it may be that you, too, are enslaved by your job.

Fact shows, such attitude would bring bad influence on health, family relationship and social life. And in some cases, this would give adverse effects to the company's overall progress. According to Nick Deligiannis, head of Hays, a recruitment company, this new habit was influenced by unhealthy economic conditions.

According to Nick Deligiannis, as quoted from thebigchair.com.au, "The current economic situation had forced many companies to be very strict in recruitments, resulting in very high workloads for some employees, thus makes them come home later than normal, and works during weekends or holidays".

A research conducted in the United States found that female workers also experience that "vacation deprived syndrome".Deligiannis said that currently, the boundaries between work life and personal life have been blurred and blurred. This is mainly due to the belief that every worker should take more responsibility considering the current economic situation.

This belief may come from wrong perception about their role or job descriptions. Or maybe simply because of the superior's inability or distrust to delegate work to their subordinates.

For some employees, what's important is not only how others thinks about them, but also how they see themselves. In other cases, the blurred line comes from a sincere interest in job.

"Do not allow yourself to be enslaved by a PDA or laptop. Restrain yourself from checking incoming emails or messages at breakfast, lunch and dinner. This will discipline yourself to rest more. Professionals are the people who do not let themselves sunk into a job thus having no personal life, "Deligiannis said.

Why Women Can not Keep Secrets?

One study revealed, women can not keep a secret for long. Results of the study states, 43% of women unintentionally divulge a supposedly secret story to a close friend - and the other 15% tells secrets to more than one friend.

This study also found, 4 out of 10 female respondents admitted that they can not keep secrets, no matter how personal or confidential that secret.

Most often, the secrets that women can't keep are the secrets about their partners. The study showed that 40% of them claimed to have told their partner's secret at least to one friend.

But men are different from women on divulging secrets. Men prefer to divulge his secrets or the secrets about their partner to a stranger.

Phillip Hodson from the British Association of Counseling Psychotherapy said, "In essence, men are more reluctant to reveal things about themselves and their lives, while women tend to be more confident and trust their friends more."

So, why do women love to spill the beans? According to Sara Hartley, a writer from the IllicitEncounters.com, "Women, if they get into trouble, always feel better to have from their friends. No wonder the womenfolk enjoy sharing all things, even their secrets."

But, according to Hodson, there is one secret that most women will always keep. What is it? The answer is: infidelity. Women tend to cover up their affairs from their friends.

However, this does not apply to men. Men tend to tell their 'adventures' to their guy friends in order get the status of a stud in their eyes.

CAREER STUCK? TRY THIS STRATEGY!

Do you feel stucked in your career, although you have all that needed for successful career progress such as brilliancy, loyalty and dedication to the company? Do not despair, because maybe there is something you do not know, or you've even deliberately neglected along this time. What is it?

"Love comes from knowing", maybe this saying rings something in your heart. Yes, you cannot love someone if you don't know him. It's the law of nature. If we do not see and know somebody, we tend to ignore him. Conversely, if we look, know, and have become familiar with him, we might be attracted to him. It could be that your career stucked because of this: your boss does not "know you".

To contend with your career problems, you can follow the following tips:
  • Make Your Quality Be Known
    A company is an organization that consists of many people, so it's not always easy for its leaders to know their employees personally. Therefore, you must do some efforts to make your bosses "know you". You must be willing to present yourself, to make yourself known, especially in the fields where excel the most.

    Be different, in positive ways. For example, if many or most of your colleagues come late everyday, take advantage from this situation by always coming on time. Or, if you're in a meeting, be bold and utter your smart opinions that may give more benefits to the company. This way, you would get your boss's attention.

  • Always Give A Positive Impression
    When your boss already "knows you", then make him remember you through always perform excellently in your job and show him your big potential. But don't be a boot licker. It would only harm your career in the long term.

    What you need to do is to always maintain - or improve - your work performance, especially if your boss trusts with an important project. If this kind of opportunity has not come yet to you, improve yourself now while waiting for that golden opportunity by carrying through your responsibilities as best as you can, one at a time. Remember, trust must be earned. You can not have other's trust in only a couple of days. You must nurture it persistently and diligently.

4 REASONS NOT TO MARRY A RICH MAN

Vacation in an exotic island, fancy dinner or a sumptuous gift of diamond ring are the things that many women dreamed of.

Seeking a relationship with a rich man is not wrong. However, the research indicated that your chances for happiness may be bigger if you choose to foster a relationship with an ordinary or not too rich man.

"Men who do not have very much money actually are more willing to make their women happy. It was because of money and high statuses often trigger infidelity and other negative behaviors in men," says Adam Galinsky, Ph.D., Professor of Management and Organization Sudies of the Northwestern University , United States, as quoted from Womenshealthmag.com.

If you're looking for a partner, do not only use wealth to consider if a man good enough for you or not. Why? Because, in fact, there are 4 "advantages" you can have if you choose to build a relationship with a not-too-rich man.
  • More Faithful
    Research shows that men with average income have smaller tendency to cheat on their partners. On the contrary, wealthy men tend to be more hypocritical in the case of infidelity.

    "Men of high statuses have greater tendency to cheat. But they are also more judgmental to others who are having affairs for their superiorty feeling of having more money and power," said Galinsky.

  • More Polite
    According to a report in the journal of Psychological Science, when meeting with new people, men from low to medium income are more polite than those of the riches. The facts observed when the researchers witnessed the differences on how the rich and the ordinary men treat the new strangers.

    "Men with average income try to socialize more because for them social relationships are skills to survive. Rich men might assume that they do not need new acquaintances," said Dacher Keltner, Ph.D., the author of the book "Born to Be Good".

  • Give More Support to Their Partner
    Research published in the Journal of Applied Psychology reveals that rich men look more sexy than ordinary men. But in terms of support and help to their partners, men who are not too rich are the champion. They do not hesitate to help their wives to clean the house, to bath the children, to cook and to do other household tasks. This oftentimes be very sexy in the eyes of the wives. Mutual support indeed will make couples happier.

  • More Astonishing During Lovemaking
    Men who are not too rich will try to satisfy their partner's sexual desires in every way, said Bethany Marshall, PhD, the author of the book 'Deal Breakers'.

    "Man will do everything to make their women stay. If he can not provide riches, he will try to satisfy his partner's sexual desires in every way," said Bethany.

SECRETS OF HAPPY COUPLE

A problem that often faced by married couples are the waning of their romantic life because of daily chores. We need to express our love to our spouse, to keep our flame of  love burning.

To express our love, we don't have to wait for special occasion. We can do it in our day-to-day life, and make it a habit.

If right now you feel that your romantic life with your spouse has become less beautiful than it was, start doing this basic habit to rekindle the fire of love again. We'll never be too late for doing anything good, won't we?
  1. Never forget to say "I Love You" to your partner everyday. Let him/her know how much you care about him/her.

  2. Hug him/her and give him/her a kiss good-bye before you leave. Do the same when you get home: greet him/her and give your warm hug.

  3. Treat him/her as if he/she were your date. Treat her/him even better than when you were dating: opening the door for her, hold out a chair for her, help her in her domestic work, or hold her hands when you're walking together.

  4. Do not let small things annoy you. It's only a matter of choice whether feeling annoyed with your partner's bad habit or finding a workaround. If she always leaves the cap off the toothpaste, then use a separate tube. Or if he always leaves his clothes laying around, just try to ignore it or pick them up and put them on place. Buying additional hangers won't be a big deal, don't you think? Buy some new ones and keep them handy. As best as you can, create a pleasant atmosphere for both of you in your home.

  5. Instead of thinking about the disappointing things he had done, why not just focus on the positive things he/she had done for you? Things that may draw both of you closer together?

  6. When you get angry, try to hold your words, even if you feel you want to shed your anger on your partner. Take a break, breath deeper. Or give yourself time to regroup by being away from him/her for a moment. By doing that, you may be able to see problem more clearly. Letting your anger shed uncontrollably would just make you say and do things that you will regret later.

  7. Never use your partner's secrets or weaknesses against him/her! Never talk to your friends, mother, his family or anyone about it, even when it seems insignificant or cute to you. Your partner entrust you with his/her secrets, so never ever fail his/her trust.

  8. Be willing to, at least, accompany your partner in doing his/her favorite things, such as watching a soccer ball game or fishing. Make him/her enjoy their activities. Do that and later you'll find how he does the same to you!

  9. Show respect to your partner. Do not ever talk bad things about your partner to others. When you are talking about your partner to somebody else, let the one who talks with you feel the respect and love you have for him/her. Let your respect and love shine through your words.

  10. Always find convenient time to be together every day. Find out what kind of activities that you both enjoy either eating your meal together, or just laying in bed. Skipping your favorite TV program for a a walk around the block with him/her would never hurt either. You can choose and mix the activities anyway you wish. If you are away from home, don't forget to call home just to hear his/her voice. The point is to spend time together every day, either by just talking, holding hands when sitting together... or whatever things to build connection between the two of you.
Without loving acts, loving words are meaningless. Make a romantic life a part of your daily life!

So, remember these five rules to get a positive effects from your quarrels:

SPEAK ONE AT A TIME

TELL YOUR FEELING
When you have arguments with your partner, be open and tell him/her about how you feel concerning the matter. say something like: "I feel so sad when you do bla bla bla...".

With this way, your partner will know how he/she hurt you with his/her behaviour.

If you have disagreements or arguments with your partner, don't let him/her feels that you don't love him/her anymore. You may say to him/her: "I love you, please let me know if you will go home late, because I'm so worried about you." Sometimes, out of control, you may yell at him/her, but never ever tell him/her "I hate you" or "We had better get divorced"

TAKE A REST
