I am, indeed. That's a big statement for me, having suffered a life-long depression. Getting that under control, and escaping an abusive childhood, meant the world!

Indeed I'm curious this point "I'm pround of myself because I know what is my purpose in life". Do you really know what's the life purpose? I'm not very sure what's the life purpose, perhaps it's just for happiness to live. can you share something on this point? thanks

The purpose of life or human beings in this world is like the purpose of food and water in our body. We as human beings need to help the society grow and develop, and as well as help the earth on escaping this global warming situation. It's like food right? We need to eat in order for us to become healthy and in good shape for us to be able to work hard and properly. We gain so much from this planet, don't you think we need to return the favor? We gain so much and it make the world we are living being destroyed little by little. In my own ways, at least i am doing my part, even if it is little, remember that big things start from small beginnings. For me that is the real purpose of life and purpose of a human being in this planet. We are not born to focus on ourselves and only and be selfish. As you see, the world is very selfless to us, she gave everything that she have without even asking for return. Of course literally she cannot ask us, but don't you think it is proper to return the favor? We will be affected if we will not do something about it. Whether the earth ask for return or not, we need to do something, it is called the return of investment rule. And one thing we really need to work and return the favor cause if not, the future is really is in bad shape. Children are our future, but what will they do if there are no more futures if the world will be destroyed because of man's abuse and mistakes to this planet.

What a environmentalism! U a right, All of us should do something to protect our planet. Ever vice-president Gore made a good video to explain the "Green House Effect", it sounds the current environmental situation is so horrible. I'm worried very much.

Proud of myself I am! Even though there were many mistakes that I have made in life, there were more successes than failures. I am sure this would apply to many people, and one of them is me! =D

You're such an adorable thing! I'm proud because there's a man who's fully proud of himself. You're great man! Sometimes, I wonder how could I be good in the eyes of the others. I'm proud of my self because I still can control myself, my emotion, my anger... I'm proud of myself because I can still accept those words that was thrown over me, telling that I'm a burden in their life. And most of all, I'm proud of myself because I never hate in God.

It is good for you yo be proud of yourself. For me, I am proud because I have my free will I am free to express myself but not at the limit of hurting others I try to be at my best mode at all time If I fail it sometimes, I am proud that I have God who will forgive me

I am proud of myself for the things I have accomplished, and things I can still learn about and accomplish. I am proud of myself for working hard here on mylot, I am proud of myself for getting another job, I am proud of myself for setting goals, and just thinking about the world, the future. I am proud of myself for believing in God. I am proud of myself for the long hike my husband and I took with his parents on Friday. I am proud of myself for not giving up and turning back.
