I had written this answer to some other question . I decided to share it here too.Well I have had many moments in the past when my love completely amazed me with his loving and caring attitude. But there is an incident that I can never ever forget. To start with, I will try to write our quick background here. He works in US and I'm in India. We always managed to take out time to talk to each other despite of our busy schedules. It was in December 2014, It was too cold at my place and I was suffering from severe fever for few days. It was a Saturday afternoon, I was having very high fever. We both used to talk for minimum two to three hours on weekends. So , as usual he skyped me. I was not well but still was excited for our weekend call. As soon I went on the video, he instantly made out that I'm not well. He told me to cut the call and sleep. I was hell bent on talking to him . I requested him to stay for sometime.He(scolding me) : Please Sleep. You are not well. I promise you I will make up for this call next weekend. You need to have rest.Me: No, I'm fine. He: I can see that. Your eyes are red and you can barely talk. Please take rest Princess. We will talk for as long as you'd want when you will be all fine.Me(angrily): One more time you tell me to sleep, I will cut the call . Already I'm so bored of laying down on this bed since last 5 days. He: Okay,I'm here. Not going anywhere. But please don't speak too much. You have a sore throat.Me:Yeah, I just need to look at that handsome face of yours and I will feel all fine. You know I did not go out this weekend.I so want to go out for a drive with my favorite music ON. I wish I could go but my mom will not let me go out until I get all fine.He: You want to go for a drive?Me: Yes. He: No , you will not go anywhere. You are not fine. Got it?Me: Yes Boss.He: Can I call you after 5 minutes? I need to get some work done.Me : Yes, I'm waiting.It was 2 a.m at his place and around 3:30 pm at my place.I receive a call after few minutes.When I pick up the call, I was surprised to see that he was in his car with my favorite music in the background. He said "See, I will take my darling for the long drive. We promised each other that we will never let this distance come in between us in any way". I had tears in my eyes and I was completely surprised by the love and dedication this man shows for our relationship.Me(with teary eyes) : Please don't go out. Its freaking 2 a.m at your place.He: Sssshhhhh. Keep quiet. Can I start now?He placed his phone on dashboard and drove around for over thirty minutes. Showed me the restaurants he often visits, showed me his gym and the grocery store he goes to and was continuously talking to me while driving. I kept telling him don't talk and drive. He said that its around 2.30 a.m and roads are almost empty.I almost felt like I am sitting next to him and holding hands.I had a smile on my face and he was also looking so happy for taking me out for that virtual drive.And then I pleaded him to go back because it was getting too late. He went back at his apartment and then again called me from there.Me: Are you mad? Why did you do that?He: You wanted to go out and I'm sorry that I cannot take you out for a real one. Taking you out on a SKYPE DRIVE  is the only thing I could do. Anything for you.Me: I Love You.He: I Love you too Sweetheart.Now you should cut the call and take rest. I want to see you in a better shape tomorrow.Me: Okay.(Slept with a huge smile).This was one of the most romantic and cute gesture of love from his side. Whenever I think about him, this is the first thing that comes to my mind. No flowers, no jewellery, no chocolates, no material things can ever replace such beautiful moments.

You should aim for maximal functionality without having to sign up or login – and you don't have to take my word for it. Apple strongly suggests the same in one of the 2012 WWDC UI design videos.So if you want to be in their good graces for promotional opportunities, etc, think about how much of your product you can deliver without having the user logged in.Indulgence of Apple aside, this is just better app design for many products. Sign up, even when asking minimal information, just feels like a chore. No one launches an app eager to fill out forms. Instead of leading with friction, give 'em a treat for having launched your app. Give them a reason to stay awhile, make them want to do something worth signing up for.Some apps can safely ignore this advice – Facebook is an obvious example. It is 100% dependent on identity. Dating apps probably fall into similar categories. For everyone else, though, you want to maximize your chance of creating an enthusiastic user. It's a user's market – they can go across the street if they don't like what you're offering. But if they stay and love it so much they have to tell their friends, tweet about it? A good place to be.

Of course you have to.

NOOOOOOO. You are talking to a military romance scammer. I received an email from the US Army that directly answers your question that is pasted below please keep reading.I believe you are the victim of a military Romance Scam whereas the person you are talking to is a foreign national posing as an American Soldier claiming to be stationed overseas on a peacekeeping mission. That's the key to the scam they always claim to be on a peacekeeping mission.Part of their scam is saying that they have no access to their money that their mission is highly dangerous.If your boyfriend girlfriend/future husband/wife is asking you to do the following or has exhibited this behavior, it is a most likely a scam:Moves to private messaging site immediately after meeting you on Facebook or SnapChat or Instagram or some dating or social media site. Often times they delete the site you met them on right after they asked you to move to a more private messaging siteProfesses love to you very quickly & seems to quote poems and song lyrics along with using their own sort of broken language, as they profess their love and devotion quickly. They also showed concern for your health and love for your family.Promises marriage as soon as he/she gets to state for leave that they asked you to pay for.They Requests money (wire transfers) and Amazon, iTune ,Verizon, etc gift cards, for medicine, religious practices, and leaves to come home, internet access, complete job assignments, help sick friend, get him out of trouble, or anything that sounds fishy.The military does provide all the soldier needs including food medical Care and transportation for leave. Trust me, I lived it, you are probably being scammed.

You do not sound as a person who handles intricasies of finances on daily basis, this is why you should redirect the qustion to your family’s tax professional who does hte filings for you.The form itself, W-9 form, is a form created and approved by the IRS, if that’s your only inquiry.Whether the form applies to you or to your husband’s estate - that’s something only a person familiar with the situation would tell you about; there is no generic answer to this.

Sorry, I did not read your wall of text because I want to tell my story without unconsciously trying to relate or criticize yours. This is my answer only to the question on the subject. I DO NOT encourage or recommend people to do what I did, and you should be responsible for your own decisions and actions.I tried. And I think I succeed. Although we all know one cannot be absolutely emotionless, but it was done to the degree that I had to stop.  I was not doing it because I wanted to be emotionless, but to find courage as my primary goal. I hated I lack of confidence and the feeling I was afraid of things that preventing me from attempting a lot of things other people tried but I was so afraid to do. So I wanted a way to gain confidence, to gain courage to do things without worrying too much what they can lead to. Becoming emotionless was the side effect that I did not expect, and the very reason I stopped and tried many years to reverse the effect. The way to do it is simple, as least for me. It will require some brain power of imagination as well as a strong mind to put the process in control. I was afraid is because I can think of something bad can happen because of my actions and decisions, so...overcome it by overriding it. The short answer is to consider every worst possibilities in your life to extreme. Consider you can be failed in classes, fired from your work, etc. Consider every day you can be dead by a car accident or earthquake the next moment. Not just consider it, but run a realistic simulation in your head, like bad dreams, imaging every details about it. You have to feel real enough to train these experience into you, like you have been through all these experiences for real. HOWEVER, we all know keep doing this will drive people crazy. So you have to control it as well, you have to consciously realize that your simulation is only hypothetical. The point is not to get over-worried about your life, which should not be impacted from this. You should make the same decision you make, take the same risk you take, live the same life you live, and act the same person as you are. Your simulation is only for you to get your mental tougher. I have been doing it for 8 years. Through the process, I felt first I had two minds: one being through the worst, and become not afraid of anything anymore, as what I wanted, another kept my daily life going, carefully maintained the balance, absorbing the courage generated by the other mind while not let the bad dreams becomes nightmares, they are just dreams after all.    Then I did achieved my objective. After you have "been" through so much everyday, you are no longer "afraid" of anything. I found the courage and confidence I needed to better myself and my life. However, it was not really courage, I soon realized there is a difference between "no fear" and "courage". As I lost my fear, I lost other emotions as well. Everything seemed "doesnt matter" to me. Of course, you dont fear even death, or anything worse, that did not make you to do anything you can, instead, it made you dont care if anything is done. I becomes satisfied with what I had, because I lost sadness, fear, anger, greed, envy as well as passion. It was not like I lost my will to live kind of feeling but worse, it became "it doesnt matter if I live or die." "Dont feel a thing, if anything can happen, let them happen, i dont care" was my feeling when this was at its worst. I will only give one example of my journey: At some point, I realized there is a family member close to me are dying. As soon as I knows about this is coming, I trained myself with scenes that her death is coming in any possible ways, and I cried and crushed badly in my "simulations". I did so many times until I accepted the fact this is coming, and became numb about it. Although I still dropped a few tears when it actually happened, but I felt sickly good because the negative emotions would bother me for a long time if I did not adopt this hobby.  So you see, as we all thought, there is nothing free in this game or in human beings. Trying to become emotionless can only be done when you have had enough of it. You will need to either release yourself earlier, now, or later. And that is going to happen regardless, just like you have to eat enough to survive, your body is going to generate chemicals signal to tell your brain you are hungry as well as any complicated emotion when your mind or body is irritated. It is a natural consequence, a chain of chemical reaction that once it starts, it will finish producing what it is going to produce, in this case, all our emotions. Trusts me, emotionless doesnt feel emotionless, itself is a kind of emotion. It was like in outer-space when you have no gravity. Zero gravity itself is a state of an object. emptiness itself is a feeling, I have all lost but that remains. Then I realized it is no good, I dont want to turn myself into a mental zombie, thoughtless but only to keep the body living. No hard feeling but no good feelings either, no sanctification, no anger, no happiness, no despair.  Now I tried to change back, I started to be afraid of a lot of things again. It felt good, and the same old bad. I can be anger with very little things like normal people do before I thought it was pointless. And it is true to the bad side of people, release your anger feels bad and good. I hated again but accepted it this time, the complicated emotions that you cannot describe by words or thoughts.         Well, I built a wall of text as well. This is my first time to Quora, forgive me if what I wrote is not really the answer you are looking for, or any violation to the user policy here. (As you can see the nature of me is worrying too much). My words to people who may have been seeking or practicing this path with struggling with your emotions and what you hate and love it does to your life is: do know when you should eat when you are upset. I am serious, it is not "dont eat when you are upset" or "I eat when I got upset." It is important that you KNOWS your nature as being you, and try every effort to take much advantage of who you are and control the disadvantage of who you are. Be emotional when you need to but not have to, be rational when you dont have to but need to.  Good luck.

Inspiring stories made me love reading.Articles about Rahul Dravid and Dr.Kalam made me love reading.Yeah,I love reading and sharing.I just read about Sindutai Sapkal.Didn't you hear this name?No?Right!!I too came to know about this great lady a few hours ago.Meet Sindutai Sapkal(Mother of orphans) ❤Image source: Google searchSindhutai Sapkal’s life started as being an unwanted child, followed by an abusive husband who abandoned her when she was nine months pregnant. The circumstances she has faced could force anyone to lose courage and succumb to the adverse situations. But Sindhutai emerged stronger with every difficulty she faced and became a ‘mother’ to over 1400 homeless children when she herself was in a hand-to-mouth situation!Sindhutai Sapkal is much more than just a name. The 68-year-old lady hides many stories behind her strong personality. Full of energy and passion, Sindhutai is commonly referred to as “Mother of Orphans” and as she talks about her life and her children you can see the pain, the troubles and the miseries she has faced and overcome with her hard work during her life time. But, from all the emotions you see on her face, an unusual sense of confidence, which she has derived over the years through her experience, is something you get inspired from.I am there for all those who have no one,” she says with a lot of affection. You can see flashes of her life as she talks about her journey and how she became the “mother”. Being an unwanted child, she was nicknamed “Chindhi” which means a torn piece of cloth.Though her father supported her and was keen on educating her, she could not continue her studies after fourth grade due to family responsibilities and early marriage.The 68-year-old Sindhutai’s story is all about love, compassion and devotion as she has dedicated her life to the orphans.Picture SourceBorn on born on 14 November, 1948 at Pimpri Meghe village in Wardha district of Maharashtra, she was keen on completing her education and used Bharadi tree leaves to write as the family could not afford a slate. Her early marriage put an end to her desire to study.“I was told there are only two processions in a woman’s life; once when she gets married and the other when she dies. Imagine my state of mind when they took me in a procession to my husband’s home in Navargaon forest in Wardha,” she says.She got married at a tender age of 10 to a 30-year old man. Her abusive husband beat her up and threw her out of the house when she was 20 and nine-months pregnant. She gave birth to a baby girl in a cow shelter outside their house the same day and walked a few kilometres in that condition to her mother’s place, who refused to give shelter to her.“I cut the umbilical cord with a sharp-edged stone lying nearby,” she recalls. The incident deeply affected her and she thought of committing suicide, but gave up that thought and started begging at railway platforms for food to look after her daughter.As she spent more time begging, she realized that there are many orphans and children abandoned by their parents. Having faced the difficulties herself, she could feel their pain and she decided to adopt them. She started begging more earnestly in order to feed the many children that she had adopted. Gradually she decided to adopt every child who came across as an orphan and, over a period of time, she emerged as the “mother of orphans”.Till date she has adopted and nurtured over 1,400 orphans, helped them get an education, got them married and supported them to settle down in life. She is fondly referred to as “mai” (mother). The children are not given up for adoption. She treats them as her own and some of them are now lawyers, doctors and engineers.“When I was out myself on the streets begging for food and fighting for survival each day, I realized that there are so many orphans who have nobody to go to. I decided to take care of them and raise them as my own,” Sindhutai says.To eliminate the feeling of partiality among children she gave away her biological daughter to Shrimant Dagdu Sheth Halwai, Pune. Her daughter herself runs an orphanage today.Sindhutai has received over 500 awards for her extra ordinary support to orphans.Sindhutai with her love and compassion has gathered a huge family of 207 sons-in-law, 36 daughters-in-law and over 1000 grandchildren. Till date she continues to fight for the next meal. She does not take support from anyone but still gives speeches to earn her daily bread and butter.“By God’s grace I had good communication skills. I could go and talk to people and influence them. Hunger made me speak and this became my source of income. I give many speeches at various places and this gets me some money which I use to take care of my children,” she says.Many years after being abandoned by her husband, he came back to her and apologized for his harsh deeds. Having devoted all her life to the orphans, she forgave him and accepted him as her child, as she could only harbour motherly love for all. She affectionately introduces her 80-year old husband as the eldest child.For her immense courage and compassion she has received over 500 awards. Whatever amount she received as awards, she used it to construct homes for her children. The construction is still going on and she is constantly looking for more help across the globe to give shape to her dreams.Picture SourceShe has six organizations operating under her name which work for various needs of orphans. “I had no one with me, everyone abandoned me. I knew the pain of being alone and unwanted. I didn’t want anyone to go through the same. And I feel immense pride and pleasure to see some of my children doing so well in their lives. One of my children made a documentary on my life,” she says.Her life’s story inspired many and a Marathi film called “Mee Sindhutai Sapkal” was made on her which won a national award. “I approached the Maharashtra government several times for help but I never received it. I used to beg earlier to fulfill the needs of my children and I will continue to do so,” she says.The unusual life of Sindhutai is an inspiration for all of us. Even after facing so many hardships, she stood tall and made her way into everyone’s heart. She proved that if you are dedicated, nothing can stop you from changing the lives of thousands of people around you. We salute this brave lady and hope that the country gives birth to many such strong daughters and mothers.Know more about Sindhutai and her work through her website.Source: She Begged On Streets So She Could Feed Every Orphan She Saw! Can You Imagine Anyone More Heroic?Shraddha ❤

I was selected for a summer internship 2016.I tried to be very open while filling the preference form: I choose many products as my favorite products and I said I'm open about the team I want to join.I even was very open in the  location and start date to get host matching interviews (I negotiated the start date in the interview until both me and my host were happy.) You could ask your recruiter to review your form (there are very cool and could help you a lot since they have a bigger experience).Do a search on the potential team.Before the interviews,  try to find smart question that you are going to ask for the potential host (do a search on the team  to find nice and deep questions to impress your host). Prepare well your resume.You are very likely not going to get algorithm/data structure questions like in the first round. It's going to be just some friendly chat if you are lucky. If your potential team is working on something like machine learning, expect that  they are going to ask you questions about machine learning, courses related to machine learning you have and relevant experience (projects, internship). Of course you have to study that before the interview. Take as long time as you need if you feel rusty. It takes some time to get ready for the host matching (it's less than the technical interview)  but it's worth it of course.
