There are people who don’t like to be independent as they consider it difficult. They want to depend their whole lives on others, they like it. As for me, I like being independent, you do whatever and whenever you want. What about you?

[lile_lile]

I gree with u Terry, being independet teaches u so much, and gives u huge life experience, as fo me i'm 20, i had a nice job,but cuz of problems i quit, now i really felt how it is to be depended on smb..

[Steven]

oh lile_lile, this is only the beginning. You'll have to run your business if you don't want to depend on anybody.

[Faw_Peter]

Being depedent actually teaches you more than when being independent. Firstly it teaches you to appreaciate freedom

[lile_lile]

Yeah i really agree with u... BUt it should be pointed that starting a business is not so easy, as for me, even now i'm trying to find some job, but it's so hard, here in Georgia jobs for students are so difficult to find... I dont know what to do...

[Terry]

you are too young to find a job seriously. I mean you can try finding a summer job. But, as you're young try to breathe more the air of independence

[lile_lile]

yeah but u know what the prb is? In a year i'll finish university, and to find a good job, they need experience and how can i get it unless I care for some job now?
P.S. I just had a phone call, I have an interview tomorrow, as an Office manager.. let's see what it is

[Benn]

sure lile, you do a great thing. It's very important that you have experience in your future profession that's why you can try it. And of course, it will offer you independence in the matter of finance, you won't depend on anybody and spend your money on thing you wanna have

[lile_lile]

yeah Benn, u knoe, even today i was at an interview and i am accepted on the job, but the salary is low.. so i'm still thinking what to do, if i gree than it will be cuz i need experience... but salary.. oh it makes me feel bad...

[Steven]

yes, but you are a novice, and novices can't get much money from the beginning, you have to make advances before you get a bigger salary

[lile_lile]

yeah.. so i'll agree... with the hope that ill get promotion some day or a better job...

[Faw_Peter]

I would suggest you not to stay too much at one job. Try different workplaces, and especially different professions so that you become multilateral (a thing which very few Americans have).

[lile_lile]

Thanx for ur advice Peter, Today was my first day at work and i'm tired
But i'm sure i'll manage somehow, anyway i'm not gonna stay on it for a long time, it depends on condition, sure if any other good job turns up i wont reject...

[Terry]

if we speak of independence, I'll tell you that Gypsies don't like it. There is a famous story about some Gypsies (in the 19th century) who were freed by their master, and after rambling through the world, they returned and said - "You do whatever you want with freedom, but we felt better before"

[Terry]

take a look at this movie and think about the independence in your life...

[Andrewz]

The clip is good, It tackles good the problem of independence. It was projected for the electoral campaign in Romania, so that people could think a little before submitting their vote for a certain candidate.

[Terry]

It's hardly possible there is a society in which there is a full independence. We all work for the government, the question is in what way

yes, and the fact we pay taxes, is one of the proofs we do that

[Hakan G]

Money will come with time. But experience, experience is the one you can't buy with money, and that will put you on the top.
Although if you're in a great demand of money=independence you could search for a freelance job, there are many websites, offering this opportunity for people that are computer-friendly.

[forobaranga]

thanks so much.i dont know where to start, since i dont know the context you putting the word independent. however i know socially there can be notting like independence. looking at the vicious circle,its ovious that we need each other at one moment. so the issue of independent does not stand here. On the other hand if its about decision making in our every day life,yes its true that one should be independent in making what ever decision but notwitstanding most not forget the need for consultation since one head is not complete. so far this is what i can contribute and am standing by for your response.

[willyoumind]

I preferred the life without any dependency on any one else...

Thus, I would rather live independently by my own...

[Steven]

Willy, you say your choice is a life without any independency at all. Are you married, or are you going to marry in the future? What I'm saying that marriage is also a part of independency lack.

[Laurentine]

All of us should be independent in a specific measure. For example when a child grew up it should start an independent life, from preparing something to eat till earning money for supporting its life. All of us should be independent because in the long running of our life there are a lot of problems which a man is confronting with.

[Martin]

I don't want to be independent, it is boring, you are just alone if you will be independent, because you can not find a person who would like to stay with you if you always do whatever you want, it is like egoism and no one love it.
