Mars And Venus
Yea... and I am refering to that popular term: Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus by John Gray (funny... why do I keep seeing this name John of late?)
Actually what happened was I went borders yesterday to find a book call "The Gift of Fear" by Gavin de Becker. I know that it wasn't exactly a new book because it had been published as far back as 10 years ago. However, since it had been a best seller before and is a very good book (imo), I was surprised that Borders did not carry that anymore. Worse still, the staff informed me that they might not ever restock this book. As I somehow sorta overheard this book had been on a clearing book sale for $9.90 (or is it more likely $19.90?), I decided not to make a special order for this book which is gonna cost me about $30 odd bucks. Maybe I'll try other book store next time. Anyway, thru the YouTube Videos i saw of Gavin, they had provided me with enough inkling of what to do and what not to do in the face of danger. A skill I needed critically since I have been kinda living on my own and with people to look out for.
Well back to mah blog title... (haha, you know how it is right? As described by John Gray in his popular Mars Venus Books, a woman tend to release stress thru talking, and touching on several different subjects at one go which seem to have no correlation with each other at all and seemingly to have no focus in her topic, which frustrates a typical male brain to no end. Well, I'm not that bad to guys i think, cos I have quite equal male and female thinking hemispheres for my brain as revealed by a few tests i've taken about that. But nevertheless, the female side of me still requires me to talk it all out as i feel what's coming to mah mind in order for me to feel good about myself. Even though i dun gossip with girlfriends or biatch behind people's backs in real life, i find the need still, to express myself by way of blogging. It is somehow the miraculous tool that help keep me sane throughout a certain difficult period i went thru. Kk, better go back to topic...) Mars and Venus. I used to have 2 books by John Gray regarding the topic of Mars and Venus which I had bought way back in the late 90s. I found what's written on those books to have made a lot of sense. However, in time to come, I also do realized that no book can work miracles when it comes to a relationship if one party does all the work and the other doesn't bother.
So, after I had confirmed that the book I wanted wasn't available for sale, I took to browsing the self-help and psychology part of those book shelves and found the latest book release by John Gray: Mars and Venus Collide. Interesting. As I had limited time left, I quickly thumbed through the book and found 2 quotes which I think are insightful into the world of gender differences and love.
What's your take on that? I find em fairly accurate though.

Realistic expectations lead to real love.
Men need to feel needed and women need to feel they are not alone.
