We’ve talked about maximizing your strengths on the previous post, now what do we do with your weaknesses?
We all have our bad times. Or perhaps some of us are already born with the certain disadvantages that put us a notch below the others. But actually, who is it that is there to determine what is normal or success? And how do we weight ourselves, is it from your heart, or is it from how others see you?

Choosing a server is like choosing a girlfriend or a wife. They come in different packages with different functionalities.
First you have to consider the server type.

She must be a real charm to inspire one of the most popular Bossa Nova songs of the century.
A Brazilian song written in 1962, The Girl From Ipanema (Garota De Ipanema) continues to fascinate us even today with its sweet tune that evokes the gentle breeze of the beach, the sounds of the waves and of course, the beautiful girl that crosses in front of you.
Time to take a break from the blaring radio hits and chart toppers, and come here for some chill music.

There’s something about Vietnamese ladies that makes them special. And very, very pretty.
No kidding. Everywhere you go, there must be a pretty Vietnamese lady somewhere at a corner.
They’re beautiful, no doubt to that. But they’re strong and independent, yet being gentle and sweet at the same time.
And most importantly, no make-up at all!
