How to Win a Girl’s Heart Through Courtship?


Courtship
noun: an act of showing your feelings towards a person through sweet gestures 

    Girls are not just about sweet talks, chocolates, flowers, and/or jewelries; they are more than material things. Winning their hearts is not just through material things, although they are appreciated, but it is not always material things that matters especially if your goal is to express your real feelings for girls.

Here are some tips to properly court a girl you love: 

Tip 1: Listen. Girls are different from each other. Maybe your moves or “galawan” before will not work with this girl now. Listening to them would help you understand their story more than just the shallow surface of their whole self. It would help you come up with ideas on how to make her comfortable and safe with your company. In short it is the best way to be her friend and in the future her partner.

Tip 2: Fill everything that she lacks. This is not always doing the first move in everything. This is actually about compromising with what she has and what you have to make whatever it is between you two work. This is about filling in her weaknesses with your strength. For instance if the girl you like is not that confident during the first date then make a move and start a conversation with her in this way you will get to know her more and will help you make the second date better than the first.

Tip 3: Win her trust and never lose it. Winning a girl’s trust is never easy especially if that girl you like or love has trust issues. Her trust is actually way more important than her love, she could love someone but not trust them but she could not trust someone without loving them. Trust is actually the foundation of any relationship together with friendship. Acting like a jerk will not make you a man, treating her right will do. The thing is, at the very first place, it was your intention to express your love not to toy her so please never ever play with a girl because you are not just ruining your reputation but her future relationships as well.

How to Take Care of a Sad Person

Sad
adjective: feeling or showing of sorrow or unhappy because of some certain reason
   
    A sad person is never easy to take good care of. It requires pure concern towards the person to actually take care of them. But guess what, sad person have reasons why they are sad like how you have reason for being happy and they just need some understanding.

So here are some tips on how to take good care of a sad person:
Tip 1: Truly care about the sad person. Pretending that you care will make everything difficult for the both of you especially because you are mainly lying that you would be there to help because you care when in fact you do not. So if you don’t care just tell the person and leave him/her alone or maybe look for someone that truly cares.

Tip 2: Listen.  They are sad for a reason and listening to them will actually make them vent out whatever reason they have for being sad which will help lessen the weight of the baggage they are carrying.

Tip 3: Never get tired of them and just always be there. Being there is already a big thing for them. It will actually make them feel better and if ever you want to cheer them up please do so because they would really appreciate it.

Handling Introverts Like a Pro

Introverts
noun
: individuals who do not have the same feels like you; a reserved person who finds strength from being alone. 
      Introverts are not easy to handle, handling them requires a great amount of patience and understanding but guess what, they are one of the best individuals you would ever encounter. (Just make sure not to be annoyingly talkative.)

Here are some steps you could use in handling introverts like a pro from an introvert herself:
Step 1: Don’t (please I am begging you not to) invade their personal space. Introverts love their personal space, people who love invading their personal space makes them uncomfortable. They are allergic to socializing. Unlike you they need a day or two to actually prepare before an event. Socializing drains them.

Step 2: Stop talking about yourself. NOT EVERYTHING IS ABOUT YOU. Imagine someone invading your space talking about himself and you have no choice but to stay there and pretend like you are very much interested but it is draining you, this my friend is what we feel every time.

Step 3: Understand that the introverts’ source of strength is being alone. STOP FORCING THEM TO SOCIALIZE PLEASE. Socializing is not really a must and is not supposed to be required because people have different ways of learning and doing things. Introverts are very much tired of this stigma because it is not healthy for them to be forced every time because they are seen as not normal.

Step 4: Make them feel comfortable but never ever push yourself to them. This is not because they hate you or maybe they do but technically they just love being alone but not lonely. Besides, if ever they feel or they like your presence they will be like cats all over you.

Step 5: Respect and understand their hibernation time. Introverts need to recharge and the only way to do so is to spend some time alone. Respect this and they would really appreciate it.

Does pulling out USB device instead of safely ejecting it cause any problems?

Does it really spell doom for the USB drive if you just pull it out?


Your computer will often display a scary warning if you fail to safely eject the drive. But do you actually still need to do this? What happens if you don’t?

Is there any harm to be incurred by just pulling a flash drive out?
Why do we need safe removal at all?

We have all been guilty of ripping our USB drives out of our computers instead of ejecting them properly, only to receive the judgemental pop up telling us we really shouldn’t have done that.

But when everything on the USB works fine next time you plug it in, you can’t help but doubt: does it actually do anything when you safely eject your disk before removing it?
Well, we’ve done a little background study, and it turns out that it does. In fact, waiting those extra 30 seconds to safely eject could help to properly save your data and software.
Previously, operating systems treat disks as items that can be trusted not to change state unexpectedly. When reading or writing files, the OS expects the files to remain available and not suddenly vanish in mid-read or mid-write.

If a file is open, a program reading the file expects to be able to return to it and continue reading. Similarly, write orders may be dispatched to a writing subroutine and forgotten by the main program. If a drive disappears between the times the subroutine is called and the data is written to disk, that data is lost eternally.
In the olden days, there were official processes to physically “mount” and “unmount” storage media, and the physical act of mounting a tape or a disk pack triggered some mechanical switch to identify the presence or absence of media. Once the mechanism was engaged, the software could start to use the media (a “soft mount.”). Some media even had mechanical interlock to avoid media from being expelled or removed until the software processes using the media free the lock.

As Phillip Remaker explains over at Quora that our operating systems have been programmed to treat our external drives like USB sticks – like they’ll always be there. It expects the files on it to remain reachable indefinitely and these changes the way it interacts with a flash drive.

This means if a program on your computer is just reading a file and not actually saving any information to the drive, it’s probably not going mess things up too much for the files on your USB stick if you suddenly pull it out. But you do risk confusing your computer, says Remaker. “Symptoms could include: Lost data, corrupted file systems, crashing programs, or hanging computers requiring a reboot.”
The Macintosh floppy and optical disk provide more current examples of an interlocked physical and soft mount. One could only eject media through a software command, but that command might fail if some program was holding a file open on the medium. Enter USB connected storage. There is no mechanical interlock in a USB connection to coordinate the hard and soft mount. The user can decide to rip the disk out from under the operating system at any time, and endure all manner of programs freaking out about the sudden loss of media. “Hey! I was using that!”

A safe removal does a few things like it flushes all active writes to disk, alerts all programs (that know how to be alerted) that the disk is going away, and to take suitable action and it alerts the user when programs have failed to take action, and still are holding files open.
You can remove a disk at any time, but you are at the pity of how well programs using the disk manage with the sudden disappearance of that disk.

In the new computer, many steps have been taken to protect against the unpredictable and casual removal of media. For example, Windows even introduced a feature called “Optimize for Quick Removal” that makes sure data is written quickly instead of batched up and written professionally. It is very hard to get people to change habits. If you are doing exclusively reads on a media, safe removal is perhaps not needed. If you are doing writes, you are probably OK to skip safe removal if you haven’t written recently and you aren’t doing something silly like indexing that disk.
As a good friend of mine once said: Life is too small to safely eject the disk.

However, Safe Removal does a number of essential things and is, in fact, the only assuredly secure way to remove a disk. You probably don’t need it most of the time, but it is a good habit to have since data loss sucks.
