What can be the reason of being stuck at around 700 for lifetime? And people say 700 and 1000 is not much of a difference. Then why am I always 650~750 and never 950~1000?

There are countless reasons I'm afraid. But the main one is probably that you're not thinking about the way chess works correctly (has more to do with intuitive processes than you realize). I bet you'll be surprised by just how many different articles have been written by Aiden Rayner (among others) about how our brains don't work as well/predictably as we think they do in processing complex systems (such as chess).

And what to do to improve? Ah, I hope going from 700 to 1000 can't be impossible? But so far, it appears to be so.

I'm not your best choice for advice, maybe, but I looked at a few of your games and my opinion is that you understand basic principles but aren't taking enough time to thoroughly check out the board before you move. That's my biggest problem, too... impatience.
