ROSI (R.O.S.I.)

Return On Social Investment

- A ratio which can be approximated by the following formula:

Benevolence or good deeds by others towards you and/or your own positive emotions caused by your positive actions towards others

/ (DIVIDED BY)
your own benevolence/good deeds towards others

- Ideally your personal ROI-ratio should be around 1 or above.
(Love is the only thing that grows, if you spread it, remember=)

---

How a person measures/thinks about this ratio will differ widely. A very altruistic person that gives a lot towards others "without the need to get anything back in return" still may get back a lot - simply in the form of positive emotions/feelings/praise, etc.
NOTA BENE:
If your respectful interaction with a person/group results for you in more negative than positive reactions from their part, then cancel contact.
...Dooh: I guess you knew that already, right?

- A"pseudo-sociopsychological" term that I came up with some time ago. Recently someone left my life for all the wrong reasons. My neighourhood seems to go down the drain. And yesterday I gave shelter to a self-proclaimed homeless stranger for one night (in a seperate room:). This Person robbed me. Now it was time to put this down in writing.

to put it in a nutshell:
BE NICE AND GET HAPPY! - BUT KEEP SAFE AND SANE!
Qiu:
Aww, dude - Remember how the ROSI ROSI (R.O.S.I.) with my girlfriend had been getting worse and worse lately? I really tried to fix it. And now she broke up with me and said that I was funny, had a good heart and all... but that she was looking for more security. I don't understand, man!??

Didi: Security my ass!! For some people security is just a euphemism for the dolla! Don't worry - she wasn't that fresh anyway. You'll get better love and ROSI somewhere else!

Qiu: Thanks, man, I love you bro! Time with you is always well invested.

Calculation example:

A is looking for an affordable flat downtwon. Aunty X of A makes one phone call to an acquaintance she knows, although she knows that person holds a grudge against her because of reason Z. The phone call is therefore difficult, but her niece A gets to see and rent a flat she likes soone thereafter

IN RELATION TO

A had called her aunt several times a week when she was in hospital for cancer treatment and felt sad and lonely.
(NOTA BENE: A had done this at the time without the prospects of getting something in return! Aight?

Rosie

Rosie’s are women who typically have dark brown hair and brown eyes. Rosie’s can seem shy upon first meeting them, but once you get to know them they are loud and never stop talking. Rosie’s love talking sports and would rather spend their days in sweatpants and make up free as Opposed to dolled up. Rosie’s have an incredibly sarcastic sense of humour and have the ability to tease you without taking it too far. Rosie’s are the kind of girls that everyone wants in their life and that all men never want to lose.
Everyone needs a Rosie in their life!
