  or glass ceilings again!

  schmooze some boss who tells me when I can go to the bathroom

No One Can hide away from stress completely. It's just a question of how one deals with it, right?

Through intensive reading, I landed on the following info (that I can share here):

DEALING WITH STRESS

First, recognize stress:

Stress symptoms include mental, social, and physical manifestations. These include exhaustion, loss of/increased appetite, headaches, crying, sleeplessness, and oversleeping. Escape through alcohol, drugs, or other compulsive behavior are often indications. Feelings of alarm, frustration, or apathy may accompany stress.

If you feel that stress is affecting you, the first option is to seek help through a counsellor.

I can say: Stress Management is the ability to maintain control when situations, people, and events make excessive demands.What you can do to manage your stress? What are some strategies?

Look around See if there really is something you can change or control in the situation	Learn how to best relax yourself Meditation and breathing exercises have been proven to be very effective in controlling stress.  Practice clearing your mind of disturbing thoughts.
Remove yourself from the stressful situation Give yourself a break if only for a few moments daily	Set realistic goals for yourself Reduce the number of events going on in your life and you may reduce the circuit overload
Don't sweat the small stuff Try to prioritize a few truly important things and let the rest slide	Don't overwhelm yourself by fretting about your entire workload. Handle each task as it comes, or selectively deal with matters in some priority
Selectively change the way you react, but not too much at one time.  Focus on one troublesome thing and manage your reactions to it/him/her	Change the way you see things Learn to recognize stress for what it is. Increase your body's feedback and make stress self-regulating
Avoid extreme reactions; Why hate when a little dislike will do? Why generate anxiety when you can be nervous? Why rage when anger will do the job? Why be depressed when you can just be sad?	Do something for others to help get your mind off your self
Get enough sleep Lack of rest just aggravates stress	Work off stress with physical activity, whether it's jogging, tennis, gardening
Avoid self-medication or escape Alcohol and drugs can mask stress.  They don't help deal with the problems	Develop a thick skin The bottom line of stress management is "I upset myself"
Try to "use" stress If you can't fight what's bothering you and you can't flee from it, flow with it and try to use it in a productive way
Try to be positive Give yourself messages as to how well you can cope rather than how horrible everything is going to be.  "Stress can actually help memory, provided it is short-term and not too severe.
Most importantly, if stress is putting you in an unmanageable state or interfering with your work - whatevr type of work, seek professional help from a counsellor.

... and the importance of Internet

From Information Scarcity through Knowledge Economy to the Current Intangible Economic Era where the factors of production are

Knowledge assets (what people know and put into use), Collaboration assets (who people interact with to create value), Engagement assets (the level of energy and commitment of people), and Time Quality (how quickly value is created)

The Internet and the ICT revolution have created individuals who are empowered because they have access to new learning opportunities; are able to sell their own ideas, services or products directly to others; and can access medical information to make their own choices about health care. These sovereign individuals also have reliable and up-to-date information about government policies and programs that allows them to become better citizens.Moreover, the convenience and the anonymity provided by the Internet have led some people to turn to the Internet for emotional and psychological needs. The Net has become a means and method not only for doing business, but also for reaching people on a social and personal level. The latter has elicited some concern in the field of psychiatry. The Addiction Research Foundation in Toronto now accepts Internet Addiction Disorder (IAD) as a real problem. Internet junkies, as those with IAD are called, interact more with their PCs than with real people. Psychiatrists consider this not just addiction but dependence, which is characterized by obsessiveness, a loss of control, and an inability to stop even if the person wants to and understands the dangers.

Given its negative effects on individuals, shouldn't the Internet simply be banned?

Technology, particularly the Internet, is definitely helping change social relations, but not in ways that its critics suggest. 
Individuals will build networks, both on-line and off-line, based on their interests, values, affinities, and projects. Because of the capabilities of the Internet for communication, people will build virtual communities that are different from physical communities. These communities, however, are not necessarily less intense or less effective in binding and mobilizing people. Furthermore, a communication hybrid is now developing in our societies, bringing together both the physical and the virtual space as the material support of networked individualism ... and many more!

On one hand it's unbelievable. On the other understandable but unbearable to the positive-minded.
It's like (a family) losing a child to a drunk driver: understandable in that drunkenness controlled him, unbearable because he wasn't supposed to drink anyway.

It's like favoring beauty over character in a relationship:understandable in that the victim is controlled by mind, unbearable because when he gets to positivity (at one time), the victim will live in regrets, experience stress (that may be hard to overturn) and face depression, which may even create negative impact on neighbors and friends and the two responsible parties themselves.

Now this is the situation third world countries are facing most. In addition to corruption, Sectarianism, Parochialism, favoritism, conflicts (internal and sometimes external), resulting into poverty, famine, unemployment we (in the third world) are yet to face many more problems unless visionary minds are born or developed within. Otherwise, we shall be the future (if not even present) victims.

We need total freedom. We need peace. We need to have our rights to the full. We need happiness. We need Unity!

That will be achieved by eliminating the greedy, the corrupt and the selfish.

Africa Unite! Third world check out!

The outside world, please carry on with us in the fight.

I have received some messages from zaadzsters that try to connect my Krishnamurti quote and the 'God-fearing' word that both appear on my profile page and writing back to me to "think about it" and change the God-fearing stuff (for another word) if I follow the quote.

Right, I admit we understand english differently and that's why I'm reluctant to edit my profile (for that particular reason) at the moment. I would love to update it so that we all get at par but still we need to learn from one another (before I do so). For that matter, therefore, I explain what the two 'fears' tend to (in simplicity) according to my understanding:

1. Krishnamurti's fear:  To be afraid or frightened of or a feeling of agitation and anxiety caused by the presence or imminence of danger. We should not fear to take chances because it's those who have put fear aside that have had life success stories.

2. The Fear of God (or any Supreme Power depending on an individual): Extreme reverence or awe toward a supreme power in which case, REVERENCE is an act showing respect, especially a bow or curtsy (or to regard with great awe and devotion)

Thanks for understanding.

Peace and Light.
