have an opinion

Hello,
A few weeks ago when I was in India and learning ..NET at NIIT (Mumbai) I was told by center head my scholarship had been declined because I do not fall in their age criteria.
I knew it right then that I was going to do something about it but I needed some time to think. I finally found out some names of higher authorities at NIIT and yesterday I wrote letters to all of them. It was important for me that they knew how I feel. I feel discouraged from studying. The three months that I studied at NIIT, I learnt a few things about programming but unfortunately I also feel like a slave to my age. We are free people and freedom should be respected and encouraged.
Now I am happy to put it all behind me and move on. I’ve had enough. I will not venture into any more educational projects in India again until the educational infrastructure changes to become more ego boosting, self esteem raising environment. I love my motherland but not the school.

I’ll really appreciate anyones thoughts-I am being denied a scholarship at a scool when I am eligable for one but the authorities talk about my age and deny my application. From what I hear this is unfair and unheard of-What do I do?

I was denied a scholarship.It was based on the exam I was asked to write. I scored very high like 46 out of a 75 and the highest someone had scored was 49.(It was not in US)
I was denied a scholarship because there was an age criteria that I did not fit in as per my knowledge.
I am sad.

Today I pray for all the people who’s lives were taken away from them for evil purposes.
I pray, the deceased can be at peace. I want to give courage to the all their family members and say that I am with them on this day 9/11 today.
I pray for PEACE.
Amen.

People diagnosed with Psychological problems hide them and feel ashamed or belittled if asked to seek medication. Not seeking medication in time gets the symptoms worse and you only have to deal with more of the disease. Worsening symptoms change the way you perceive yourself.
One CAN lead a Medicne free life if wanted. AWARENESS AND ACCEPTANCE of the disease is important. Every time it seems to get worse sit down, relax and take deep breaths. Write down the thoughts that triggered the symptoms and then try to think those thoughts positively, change your lifestyle, excercise often. One day the problem will become a second nature and we wont have to sit down and write, we can do it simueltainiously with other things—Tell the disease “I will deal with you first then I have a life to get back to”.

Most of us do not think of psychological problems as sicknesses. Thinking otherwise is ignorence and an act of utter illetracy. They are diseases! People diagnosed with psychological problems are sick and they need medication to feel better.

Cognative therapy works very well for panic disorders other than medication. One can google to find more on cognative therapy. People who suffer from Panic disorders should accept themselves the way they are and practice cognative therapy to lead an absolutely normal life just as anybody else. We owe it to ourselves!

The media has made a glamerous image of women with sucessful careers, high paid jobs, just about good at the home frount!!
All that sounds nice. But I am not a Television screen. I am for real. I am me. That is what I shall be. I cant be what others want me to be. Its only going to makes others think of me as one of the sidcom bitch and I am fine with it because I know who I am and I love myself!

If I love me then I should listen to me. I had this problem for very long as I would supress every idea in my mind that was different from my near and dear ones so that I could please them. I believed that if I make everyone happy then there is no way I will be unhappy in my life. I was wrong. If I am happy my vibes will help others be happy. I listen to me and I have an opinion and I am proud of me.

Frustration can be such a useful thing sometimes. It helps us realize what needs fixing. Like rocks you drop on a hiking path to find your way back, these frustrations can lead you straight back to the source of issues.

My wife told me I have trouble expressing my opinion a few years ago when we first started dating but I finally decided to do something about it. When my wife asks me “Do you like this?”, I can say yes or no. But when she asks “Why do you like this?”, the frustration builds and I struggle with an answer. What the heck? I obviously know my opinion because I know whether I like it or not. But expressing my opinion is much harder. So I went to a great psychologis the other day who helped me see that a lot of this stems from my fear of embarrassment. I guess I was afraid that people would think my opinion was stupid and make fun of me. Maybe I was mocked in school for something I said early on. Either way, I now feel so good about where this frustration comes from. I can now focus my energy on not filtering my opinions and worrying what someone else will think. It’s pretty liberating…

I’m entirely too indifferent with everything in my life.
