If you don't know, you’ll spend a lot of time blaming others for your own failings. Try and exert too much control in areas you shouldn't and the universe will createSome interesting ways to remind of your place.<br />So be prepared and learn the 10 things in life that you DO control:<br />1. What you do.<br />Your actions are yours alone. You choose to make them or not make them and you are responsible for the effects of those actions.<br />2. What you say.<br />Likewise, the words you speak (or write) are also consciously chosen. Like actions, they have an impact on your life and the lives of those you contact.<br />3. What you think.<br />Yes, there are some subconscious thoughts that you can't control. But the things that you really think about, your beliefs, your ideals, etc. are concepts you have chosen to accept and believe in.<br />4. Your work -<br />Many people like to overlook this one, it being much easier to say "Oh, I'm trapped in my job because I don't have a degree, experience, etc. "Hogwash! That's simple a way of denying one's responsibility in having chosen the job in the first place. It's your job and you chose it. IfYou stay (or go), that's a choice as well.<br />5. The people you associate with.<br />There's a famous t-shirt that states: "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys." Colloquial is very often correct! Your friends can either lift you up or bring you down. You make the decision which type of friends you wish to have.<br />6. Your basic physical health.<br />Much about our health is a factor of genetics, environment, and exposure. Much more of our health is simply a matter of the things we choose: diet, exercise, drugs, sleep, routine physicals, check-ups, etc.<br />7. The environment you live in.<br />Your house, the condition of your home, the town you live in, the amenities available to you are all things you can control, although some to a lesser degree (i.e., you decide to tolerate them or move some place else).<br />8. Your fiscal situation.<br />Having or not having enough money is a factor of what you make versus what you spend.<br />9. Your time.<br />You choose how to "spend" your time and how much of your time to give to various activities. You'll never get more time than the 24 hours you’re given each day.<br />10. Your legacy.<br />All your actions, words, and knowledge that you share while you a reliving become the gift that you leave when you are gone.</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-39595034796835728182010-05-28T08:53:00.000-07:002010-05-29T05:44:39.728-07:00Know about Fatigue<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCi2cgA4SGd7YOrDtWT2j7Xpkx4U-y2X8iHjKb0Cx_8Hw9nHeAww3Sg4zCKgnW_f7E4jXzLKLslCsLPfeWpV4fVpAhhc6vkb1AdyGajOMdssLifGKFDrpRW0oV61rzebdL0pIT2mrLeLR/s1600-h/office-nap_~k0501067.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 147px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308265258946042946" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggCi2cgA4SGd7YOrDtWT2j7Xpkx4U-y2X8iHjKb0Cx_8Hw9nHeAww3Sg4zCKgnW_f7E4jXzLKLslCsLPfeWpV4fVpAhhc6vkb1AdyGajOMdssLifGKFDrpRW0oV61rzebdL0pIT2mrLeLR/s200/office-nap_~k0501067.jpg" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ff0000;"><em>Sent by - Shikha Aggarwal</em></span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">May be you are going to bed earlier each night but are still waking up feeling like you haven’t had enough sleep.</span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">People are feeling more tired than ever before, and there doesn’t seem to be any relief in sight.When you don’t get enough fluids, cells through your body, including the brain, begin to run dry, which can sap your energy.</span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">Don’t wait until you feel thirsty; drink at least eight glasses a day.</span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">Don’t have drinks which contain caffeine, it removes more fluids from your body than it puts in.</span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">To fight fatigue, put more variety into your life. </span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">Going for walks, </span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;">reading new books - will help you feel more motivated and energized by life.</span></div><div><span style="color:#33ff33;"></span></div><div></div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-68675198511291364212010-05-27T11:39:00.000-07:002010-05-29T05:46:02.639-07:00Health - Aloevera<span style="color:#66ff99;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Aloevera is most powerfull natural herbs in world.

Most traders would rather listen to the advice of others than take the time to learn a trading system. Let’s face it: Most people are lazy when it comes to trading. Although money may be the most important concern they have, and earning it, the most important goal they work towards, learning how to invest it is low on their to do list.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">They are impatient:</span> Traders have an insatiable need for action. It may be the adrenaline rush they’re after. It may be their gambler’s mentality. It may be they feel life is passing them by, and they say, It’s now or never. <span style="color:#ff0000;">Trading is never:</span> now or never. Trading is about patience and objective decision-making.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;">Traders do not trade objectively: Many traders have the habit of not cutting losses fast enough. It goes against their grain to sell. At the same time they often get out of winners too soon. It sounds simple, but it takes emotional disengagement to trade objectively.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Traders personalize losses:</span> Some speculators don't have the temperament to accept small losses in a trade. They take each loss as a personal failure.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Traders are greedy:</span> They try to pick tops or bottoms in hopes they’ll be able to time their trades to maximize their profits.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Traders won’t admit to reality:</span> They are not willing to believe the only truth there is: The truth of price. As a result, they act contrary to the trend, and, deluding themselves, they lose.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Traders buy and hold:</span> Out of fear, they hold on to losers, anxiously watching them tank, but taking no action. When they finally sell, they are angry and embarrassed, yet they still buy and hold because they are rigid about change.</span></div><br /><div><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">Traders act impulsively:</span> They often jump into a market based on a story in the morning paper. The market has already discounted the data, or it is outdated and misleading information. </span></div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-49761717337962367982010-05-24T23:20:00.000-07:002010-05-29T07:17:53.775-07:00Bad breathe !!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0QKoHuizcVaDaonQrxMYcA0-GhyphenhyphenTmiH1w9CsQOEc0mBWy1LHTQLyrlpnY9TvlDDYUneUavftlSOJGCm0CxdoQO8a8S4rO7_NxgZGLj1y3_kXOh-IsHNHYzt2QUe4ZbUXsp1r-4DGjMZ9/s1600-h/272_Rh13.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 150px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 200px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5308116420401942082" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhC0QKoHuizcVaDaonQrxMYcA0-GhyphenhyphenTmiH1w9CsQOEc0mBWy1LHTQLyrlpnY9TvlDDYUneUavftlSOJGCm0CxdoQO8a8S4rO7_NxgZGLj1y3_kXOh-IsHNHYzt2QUe4ZbUXsp1r-4DGjMZ9/s200/272_Rh13.jpg" /></a><br /><div><em><span style="font-size:78%;color:#ff0000;">Sent by- Shruti Aggarwal</span></em> </div><div><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;">To find out why- and to avoid those potentially embarrassing moments- read on<br />Don't dine with the garlic family: spices tend to stay and recirculate through essential oils they leave in your mouth. Depending on how much you eat, the odor can stay in your mouth up to 24 hours. No matter how often you fresh your teeth. Such foods to avoid include onions, hot peppers and garlic.<br />Stick with water: Coffee, beer, wine and whiskey are at the top of the list of liquid offenders. Each leave a residue that can attach to the plaque in your mouth and infiltrate your digestive system.<br />Carry a tooth brush:Some odors can be eliminated-permanently or temporarily- if you brush immediately after a meal.<br />Rinse your mouth out: when you cant brush,you can rinse. Go to the rest room after meals and get a mouthful of water, swish it around and wash the smell of food from your mouth.<br />Gargle a minty mouthwash:Gargling with a mouthwash is a great idea. Or a breathe mint or minty gum is just a cover up. </span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;"><br /></span>Take Care</div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-306296792169157602010-05-21T23:45:00.000-07:002010-05-29T07:21:38.952-07:001 Never hold fewer than 10 different securities covering five different fields of business.<br /><br />#2 At least once in six months reappraise every security held.<br /><br />#3 Keep at least half the total fund in income-producing securities.<br /><br />#4 Consider yield the least important factor in analyzing any stock.<br /><br />#5 Be quick to take losses, reluctant to take profits.<br /><br />#6 Never put more than 25% of a given fund into securities about which detailed information is not readily and regularly available.<br /><br />#7 Avoid "inside information" as you would the plague.<br /><br />#8 Seek facts diligently, advice never.<br /><br />#9 Ignore mechanical formulas for valuing securities.<br /><br />#10 When stocks are high, money rates rising, business prosperous, at least half a given fund should be placed in short-term bonds.<br /><br />#11 Borrow money sparingly and only when stocks are low, money rates are low or falling, and business depressed.<br /><br />#12 Set aside a moderate proportion of available funds for the purchase of long-term options on promising companies whenever available.SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-78198063060326753232010-05-20T23:39:00.000-07:002010-05-29T07:19:40.646-07:00Why Do Trend Traders Win the Big Money?<span style="color:#006600;">Ted Williams. -</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#006600;">The man epitomizes the word "discipline". Trend Followers, like Williams, wait for their pitch -- and then whack it for homeruns</span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">.Now think for a moment about investment sites such as all of the stock tip chat houses. They are useless when it comes to helping you to make money in the long run. Why? There is no discipline. They say there is a good pitch to hit everyday. This is far from true.There are typically three stages an investor goes through before they become successful. </span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#330099;">Building discipline starts with an understanding of these points:</span></span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#cc0000;">Easy</span> <span style="color:#cc0000;">Money:</span> The first stage involves thinking there is easy money to be made. This is the thinking of a newbie. Often, after a big stock tip gone wrong or a couple great broker recommendations that lose serious money, you enter the second stage.</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;"><span style="color:#ff0000;">I need a plan:</span> The second stage begins when an investor or trader decides a plan is needed to win. The problems begin when the search for a plan becomes a search for the Holy Grail. And we all know there is no Holy Grail. What is needed is more than just a "system". What is needed is you following the system. </span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">This leads to stage three.</span><br /><span style="color:#663366;">I'm responsible for my success: Stage three comes when the investor or trader realizes that success comes from inside the person, not outside. To achieve true success you must understand the market is not responsible, you are. There is no one to blame or compliment but yourself when it comes to trading. So find a solid plan and follow it.Trend Following demands that you detach emotions from your trading and maintain exacting discipline. Trend Following, for example, can be a winning plan, but you must be disciplined to do the hard (and right) thing everyday.</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-62838208727904526312010-05-11T13:58:00.000-07:002010-05-29T07:18:53.067-07:00Share Mkt lessons from 2008--<span style="color:#990000;">1)In panics there is almost nowhere to make money without taking excessive risk</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">2)Timing entries and exits to oversold & overbought conditions helps achieve low-risk/high-reward entries</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">3)There is no such thing as a safe investment</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">4)Markets are dysfunctional, corrupt, and have no oversight</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">5)To let a stock prove itself to me, prior to jumping in based on my analysis alone</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">6)The ability to change and adapt to market conditions quickly is more important than I thought</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">7)Don’t look back on missed opportunities but to look ahead for the next one</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">8)Buy & hold is dead</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">9)Discipline to a plan is crucial</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">10)I always tend to make the same mistakes (not having enough patience and trying to get the maximum return in the shortest period)</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">11)You cannot be complacent in face of headwinds</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">12)To accept a small gain rather than always looking for a home run</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">13)Ignore the noise - focus on price action and you’ll do fine!</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">14)You must take time to analyze your position through multiple time frames</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">15)Do not succumb to “green screen fever”</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">16)Just when you think a stock price can’t get any lower, it goes much lower!</span><br /><span style="color:#990000;">17)Takes a long time to build profits and very little time to lose it all.

He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio. </span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">His eyes were weak, so he never watched television. But enthusiastically, he sold lots of hotdogs. </span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales. His sales and profit went up. </span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">He ordered more and more raw material and buns and used to sell more. He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers. He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove. </span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father. </span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">Then something strange happened.</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?" The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible. The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times.</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">" The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV. He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly. So the next day onwards, the father cut down on his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs. Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand. And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit. The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time.</span><br /><span style="color:#993399;">" Moral of the StoryIt's all in your MIND!

The greatest thing about success is that there can be no fixed definition of it. What might seem as success to one person might appear to be a waste of time or energy to another.<br />Whether it is accumulation of wealth or saving a person’s life, much effort goes into being successful. Moreover, the luck-factor also plays a part in most stories of success.<br /><br />First and foremost, a person needs to decide for himself what success means for him. He may listen to the opinion and advice of well-meaning family members and friends, but ultimately, he has to take the decision and then put in his very best to turn his dream into reality.Just like true love brings an inner glow on a person’s face, true success brings a sense of inner contentment, very different from what is understood as ego, regardless of the opinion of others. If you feel that happiness, you have tasted success.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#33ff33;">Have a great day</span> </span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-29930207554797029032010-04-14T22:54:00.000-07:002010-05-29T07:20:24.158-07:00Good Cartoons of R K Laxman<span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"><em>Sent by Shikha Aggarwal</em></span><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FV8BWk6HfqU/SZe_13MQXbI/AAAAAAAACGs/W5dxzzm2hA4/s1600-h/Common_man.jpg"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 270px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5302918018321374642" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FV8BWk6HfqU/SZe_13MQXbI/AAAAAAAACGs/W5dxzzm2hA4/s320/Common_man.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><span style="color:#ffcccc;">Rasipuram Krishnaswamy Iyer Laxman born 23 October 1924 is an </span><a title="India" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/India"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">Indian</span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;"> </span><a title="Cartoonist" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoonist"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">cartoonist</span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;">, </span><a title="Illustrator" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustrator"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">illustrator</span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;"> and </span><a class="mw-redirect" title="Humorist" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humorist"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">humorist</span></a><span style="color:#000099;"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">.

One day they faced a huge drought and the lake in which they lived was drying up. They decided to leave the lake and look for a new lake. But the tortoise could not fly. So the geese thought of a plan, where by the tortoise would have to hold a piece of stick by its mouth which would be carried by the two geese. The only condition was that the trotoise should not speak or it will fall from the stick to death. The tortoise agreed to be silent.<br />But on seeing this stange arrangment , people on the way started laughing at the tortoise. Unable to control his anxiety, he spoke out "What are they laughig about?", and so fell to his death. If he had kept quiet he could have saved his own life.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Moral : Do not get distracted when working on important things</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-53426250409218005302010-03-28T10:09:00.000-07:002010-04-18T23:36:20.561-07:00BEST-BEST BETTER WORLD<span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#993399;"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">Hoping and dreaming of a better world are not enough if we are unwilling to work - but when we work towards our dreams, wonderful things can happen</span>.<br /></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">HERE ARE CERTAIN TIPS</span> TO SAVE WATER,PETROL & ELECTRICITY-BUT MOST IMPORTANT THING IS TOO BELIEVE THAT WHOLE OF WORLD IS OUR HOME - SO ALL THIS SAVING IS FOR MY OWN HOME-AND PLEASE DONT THINK HOW CAN YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE ALONE-YOUR SUGGETIONS AND EFFORTS ARE WELCOME.<br /><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">HOW TO CREATE AWARENESS</span>-V CAN USE BUSINESS CARDS,MAILING ENVELOPES,MONTHLY OR QUARTERLY NEW LETTERS ,WRITING SAVE WATER ETC SLOGAN ON OUR NOTICE BOARD,DISUCUSSING THIS WITH<br />AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE,INVOLVING OUR KIDS IN THIS AS WELL<br />& MOST IMPORTANT-FORWARD THIS MAIL TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE.<br /><br />-PLEASE TRY TO INVOLVE MAXIMUM PEOPLE IN THIS PROCESS & BE A PART OF THIS AWARENESS PROCESS- Akela Chala Tha Main Aur Karwan Banta gaya<br /><br /><span style="color:#ffff99;">LETS MAKE A BETTER INDIATIPS ON HOW TO SAVE WATER (3RD WORLD WAR IF HAPPENS WILL BE FOR WATER)<br />· Don't let the water run while shaving or brushing teeth.<br />· Take short showers instead of tub baths.<br />· Keep drinking water in the refrigerator instead of letting the faucet run until the water is cool.<br />· Scrape, rather than rinse, dishes before loading into the dishwasher; wash only full loads.<br />· Wash only full loads of laundry or use the appropriate water level or load size selection on the washing machine.<br />· Buy high-efficient plumbing fixtures & appliances.<br />· Repair all leaks (a leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons a day). Its also a sign of bad fortune or results in too much expenses.<br />· Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day (early morning is best).<br />· Water plants differently according to what they need. Check with your local extension service or nurseries for advice.<br />· Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only – not the street or sidewalk.<br />· Use soaker hoses or trickle irrigation systems for trees and shrubs.<br />· Keep your yard healthy - dethatch, use mulch, etc.<br />· Sweep outside instead of using a hose.<br />· Do not use water to get your vehicles washed,instead use wet clothes.<br />· Do not waste the drinking water or Rs.12 litre water will soon be available for Rs 40per litre.<br />· Do not waste the food,as lot of water and energy is consumed while cooking food.<br /></span><br />TIPS ON HOW TO SAVE PETROL (IMPORT OF CRUDE OIL ACCOUNTS FOR 40% OF IMPORT OF INDIA)<br />· Start your vehicle,when you are ready to move,not when you have to turn or get it out of your home.<br />· Switch off your vehicle when you are stopped at Red Light.<br />· Always keep your petrol tank full,do not waste your time & petrol by getting it filled again and again.<br />· Get your vehicles serviced regularly.<br />· Use original and branded equipments in your vehicle.<br />· Use Two whealers where four whealer can be avoided.<br />· While using Four Whealer try to accommodate maximum people so that petrol is not wasted(This practice is used even in Thailand).<br />· Try to use bicycle and even walk,where u can,it is helpful for your health as well.<br />· Use AC or Heater of your car only when its too urgent.<br />· Start for your work early so that you don't have to drive fast,it avoids accidents as well.<br />· Keep proper air preassure of tyres of your vehicles.<br />· Follow the traffic rules,it too helps in saving petrol and avoiding accidents.<br />· Do not use mobile while driving,you loose the concentration from driving.<br />· Park ur Vehicle properly,so that traffic problem doesn't arrive,that too helps in Petrol Saving.<br />· Do not keep your cars on just for getting cool air of AC.Sacrifice a little comfort to Give big comforts to your next generation.<br />·MOST IMPORTANT-Use School Transportation system for sending ur kids to school and if you want a short time comfort for your kids and want them to send on ur own car,please…..take a few more kids from your neighbourhood so that there is saving of our national property i.e.Petrol and also help to control traffic problem.<br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">TIPS ON HOW TO SAVE ELECTRICITY (RUPEE ONE SAVED FOR ELECTRICITY EQUALS TO RUPEE TWO USED IN GENERATING ELECTRICITY)<br /><br />Try to keep your mobile on meeting mode-always avoid the vibrator mode,it will increase the talk time of<br />mobile battery & in turn also reduce the electricity use.<br />· Do not leave your electric appliances on stand by mode.By switching off at the main power button, or even the socket, you can save both energy and money.<br />· Items left on standby use up to 85% of the energy they would use if fully switched on.<br />· Use energy saving light bulbs to cut your costs considerably.<br />· No matter what type of lighting you are using, always turn the lights off when you leave a room.<br />· Take care of useless lights even in your school,office,friends or relatives house.<br />· There are a number of different solar-powered lights available for use in the garden. These lights are highly energy efficient.<br />· Washing machines and tumble dryers are big electricity users. You may not be able to cut down how often you use them, but small changes in how you use them will save energy and money.<br />· When using the washing machine, between 85-90% of energy is used just to heat up the water. Therefore, dropping the water temperature of your wash could significantly decrease your electricity consumption. Over a year, by using a warm wash rather than a hot wash, you could cut consumption nearly in half.<br />· Only use the washing machine when you have a full load. If you have to do a smaller wash, use the half load function. The spin on the machine may mean that more energy is used, but by spinning your clothes you are removing more excess water, therefore reducing your drying time in a tumble dryer.<br />· You can cut down on using tumble dryers by line drying clothes outside whenever possible or using an indoor clothes dryer when the weather is bad.<br />· A dripping tap can be not only annoying but if it is a hot water tap it can cost you in both water.<br />· There are a few easy ways to save energy when cooking which can also speed up the amount of time you spend over a hot stove. Always use the correct size pan and, when heating water, only use the amount you need.<br />· If only using a small pan, then use a smaller burner. Boiling water in the kettle first will save the time the burner needs to heat the water, and putting a lid on will help it come to a boil quicker.<br />· When making a cup of tea, only boil the amount of water that you need. Boiling a full kettle unnecessarily is a waste of electricity.<br />· The location of your fridge can make a difference in how energy efficient it is. Make sure it is out of direct sunlight and not close to the oven. It is best to keep it against an outside wall so that the heat it generates can escape easily, and always make sure that there are a few inches space all around the fridge so that air can circulate.<br />· Make sure you defrost your fridge and freezer on a regular basis or whenever necessary. An iced up freezer will make the freezer work harder, therefore wasting more energy than needed.<br />· Only set your fridge to as cold as you need it and avoid keeping the door open for long periods of time. The more cold air escapes, the harder the fridge has to work and the more electricity it uses. Check the seal regularly as a damaged seal also lets cold air escape.<br />· Never put warm or hot food into the fridge as this will make the fridge work extra hard to try and keep it cold; allow food to cool down first.<br />· In many homes, the single biggest electricity expense is the heating of water. This typically accounts for about 30% to 40% of the electricity account.<br /></span><span style="color:#330033;"><span style="color:#ff6666;">· By taking a shower instead of a bath you can save hot water. Showers typically use less water than a bath.<br />· Get the family into the habit of plugging the water basin when washing or shaving. Allowing hot water to pour out of the taps and down the drain is wasteful.<br />· Use the sun's energy to heat your water by installing solar panels. This will save electricity and cut down your electricity bill.<br />· Do not set the thermostat on the geyser too high. A setting of 50-60C is recommended.<br />· To optimize electricity efficiency, geysers should be located as close as possible to the points where hot water is being used.<br /></span><br /></span>THE MOST IMPORTANT THING-DO NOT DO WHAT YOU DON'T WANT OTHERS TO DO<br />AND REMEMBER TO START TODAY BECAUSE <a href="http://thinkexist.com/quotation/what_is_not_started_today_is_never_finished/295575.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color:#ffffff;">WHAT IS NOT STARTED TODAY IS NEVER FINISHED TOMORROW</span>.</a>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-45519841866923832482009-10-04T06:00:00.000-07:002009-10-03T18:20:37.551-07:00Breakfast can help keep you lean<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugoVF0V1H9XE7LJNDdua7zT3wRnyCPrDC7OOd7JijidWuwo-DVmQw4TITUiGKVrxkxAZ0ljVIqzr2qHPeUT6VfVScXtBfQxisYyxXQoxcv4oGlq_2U0_EtVPlb9yPATeuBSi0RRVnm8UD/s1600-h/art_breakfast_lean.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292168203633777970" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 292px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 219px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhugoVF0V1H9XE7LJNDdua7zT3wRnyCPrDC7OOd7JijidWuwo-DVmQw4TITUiGKVrxkxAZ0ljVIqzr2qHPeUT6VfVScXtBfQxisYyxXQoxcv4oGlq_2U0_EtVPlb9yPATeuBSi0RRVnm8UD/s320/art_breakfast_lean.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Eating within first few hours of waking kick-starts metabolism and gives energy• </div><br /><div>Studies show people who eat breakfast concentrate better• Study: </div><br /><div>.<span style="color:#990000;">Breakfast may be the most important meal of the day, but be aware of what you're eating.<br /></span><span style="color:#330099;">Overview</span><br />What exactly is it about breakfast that makes it so beneficial? And are all are breakfasts created equal? A study from Pediatrics, published in March 2008, looked at 2,000 teenagers and found that teens who ate breakfast weighed less, exercised more and ate healthier food than their classmates who didn't eat breakfast<a name="1" _extended="true"></a><a name="rv2" _extended="true"></a><br /><span style="color:#993300;">Questions and answers-<br /></span>Are all breakfasts created equal?<br />Dr. Sanjay Gupta, chief medical correspondent: No, all breakfasts are definitely not created equal. We talked to an expert at the American Dietetic Association to help us "grade" a few popular breakfast options. Let's start at the bottom with a breakfast that would get a "C" average grade: Fast food breakfast sandwich, pastry or sugary cereal.<br />These foods get a "C" for a number of reasons. The types of fat in these foods are the bad fats, and it certainly is not balanced. These foods are going to be high in sugar and carbohydrates and low in fiber and protein, which are essential for a balanced breakfast.<br />Let's flip to the foods that get a "B" average grade: bagel, breakfast bar, breakfast shake or pancakes with syrup.<br />These foods are a good start but aren't quite there. Take, for example, the breakfast shake: Many people blend up some milk and fruit. Although it's healthy for you, to make it a complete meal, you should add a peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread.<br />OK, now for the winner, the "A+" breakfast: oatmeal with skim milk, a half-ounce nuts, berries and orange juice.<br />This is the ultimate breakfast because you've got a whole grain in the oatmeal, a protein in the skim milk, heart-healthy fats in your nuts, and the berries are a great source of antioxidants. You can wash the meal down with a nice glass of orange juice, which is loaded with vitamin C and potassium. Remember that you should be consuming a significant amount of calories at breakfast -- around 500, depending on the person. Eating a hearty breakfast will keep you full for several hours and prevent you from snacking at that morning meeting. And important to remember: If you wake up and are not hungry in the morning, it is a big indicator that you are overeating at night. </div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-90470662866190345072009-09-09T19:45:00.000-07:002009-09-08T19:52:27.929-07:00Top 25 All-Time Warren Buffett Quotes<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkhamk36h22coiSvZzyTJTiZPmvyBrNnqbmAGQ-fkqtttuEdGQjrqXAkdSNw6NmucJqQmVXQ0x_31trSJvwdhuVj6AzndNG9So1i2JTEEVJeZedHiK8kqj28oi_PiunMpAKFE2g9IxRN8/s1600-h/MYQUOTES.jpg"><span style="color:#ffcccc;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379293878395884786" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 298px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 290px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTkhamk36h22coiSvZzyTJTiZPmvyBrNnqbmAGQ-fkqtttuEdGQjrqXAkdSNw6NmucJqQmVXQ0x_31trSJvwdhuVj6AzndNG9So1i2JTEEVJeZedHiK8kqj28oi_PiunMpAKFE2g9IxRN8/s320/MYQUOTES.jpg" border="0" /></span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;"><br /></span><div><span style="color:#ffcccc;">1. “Rule No.1: Never lose money. Rule No.2: Never forget rule No.1″<br />2. “In a bull market, one must avoid the error of the preening duck that quacks boastfully after a torrential rainstorm, thinking that its paddling skills have caused it to rise in the world. A right-thinking duck would instead compare its position after the downpour to that of the other ducks on the pond.”<br />3. “The fact that people will be full of greed, fear or folly is predictable. The sequence is not predictable.”<br />4. “Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.”<br />5. “It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.”<br />6. “When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is usually the reputation of the business that remains intact.”<br />7. “You only find out who is swimming naked when the tide goes out.”<br />8. “Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.”<br />9. “If I was running $1 million today, or $10 million for that matter, I’d be fully invested. Anyone who says that size does not hurt investment performance is selling. The highest rates of return I’ve ever achieved were in the 1950s. I killed the Dow. You ought to see the numbers. But I was investing peanuts then. It’s a huge structural advantage not to have a lot of money. I think I could make you 50% a year on $1 million. No, I know I could. I guarantee that.”<br />10. “Whether we’re talking about socks or </span><a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink1" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,1);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,1);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,1);" href="http://www.anirudhsethireport.com/top-25-all-time-warren-buffett-quotes/#" target="_new"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">stocks</span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;">, I like buying quality merchandise when it is marked down.”<br />11. “I try to </span><a class="kLink" oncontextmenu="return false;" id="KonaLink2" onmouseover="adlinkMouseOver(event,this,2);" style="POSITION: static; TEXT-DECORATION: underline! important" onclick="adlinkMouseClick(event,this,2);" onmouseout="adlinkMouseOut(event,this,2);" href="http://www.anirudhsethireport.com/top-25-all-time-warren-buffett-quotes/#" target="_new"><span style="color:#ffcccc;">buy stock</span></a><span style="color:#ffcccc;"> in businesses that are so wonderful that an idiot can run them.

Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities — that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future — will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands.”<br />18. “Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”<br />19. “Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good results.”<br />20. “Investors making purchases in an overheated market need to recognize that it may often take an extended period for the value of even an outstanding company to catch up with the price they paid.”<br />21. “I like to go for cinches. I like to shoot fish in a barrel. But I like to do it after the water has run out.”<br />22. “We don’t get paid for activity, just for being right. As to how long we’ll wait, we’ll wait indefinitely.”<br />23. “In the business world, the rearview mirror is always clearer than the windshield.”<br />24. “The investor of today does not profit from yesterday’s growth.”<br />25. “Someone’s sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.”</span></div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-30283639643320990422009-09-09T07:37:00.000-07:002009-09-08T19:42:42.400-07:00Health- Heart attacks<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyS1SXK_M7TQZXxqobziqCcrQEIYPK6gDSTdabd1lSbYbHJV92C9uXB6O_NSZfe6V26e9kFPKjSi604QXGUQX93ojE94vo3HY_BXQpALT15P3i3HDnIndhTm9UzSfRj1wo5yfYenAe0qzt/s1600-h/clip_image001.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5291051575932161938" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 253px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyS1SXK_M7TQZXxqobziqCcrQEIYPK6gDSTdabd1lSbYbHJV92C9uXB6O_NSZfe6V26e9kFPKjSi604QXGUQX93ojE94vo3HY_BXQpALT15P3i3HDnIndhTm9UzSfRj1wo5yfYenAe0qzt/s320/clip_image001.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Heart attacks and drinking warm waterThis is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about <a title="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" target="_blank">heart attacks</a>. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt their <a title="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" target="_blank">drinking</a> habit while eating.For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.! It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine . Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to <a title="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" target="_blank">cancer</a>. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.A serious note about heart attacks - You should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense <a title="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" target="_blank">pain</a> in the jaw line.You may never have the first <a title="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" href="http://www.knowledgebase-script.com/demo/article-179.html" target="_blank">chest pain</a> during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. </div>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-82911216645523228732009-08-07T08:07:00.000-07:002009-08-06T19:58:52.548-07:00Health Medicine-<span style="font-size:180%;color:#ff0000;">Make a Check list, check whether this medicine is in our home or whether it has recommended by our doctor... pls do not use it..</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">Please Read Very Carefully -</span><br /><span style="color:#330033;">INFORM ALL YOUR FRIENDS & FAMILY MEMBERS</span><br />India has become a dumping ground for<br /><span style="font-size:180%;color:#660000;">banned drugs</span>; also the business for production of banned drugs is booming.<br />Plz make sure that u buy drugs only if prescribed by a doctor(Also, ask which company manufactures it, this would help to ensure that u get what is prescribed at the Drug Store) and that also from a reputed drug store.

They appeared to be famished. They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful, but because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.<br />'They then went to the next room and opened the door. It was exactly the same as the first one. There was the large round table with the large pot of stew which made the holy man's mouth water. The people were equipped with the same long-handled spoons, but here the people were well nourished and plump, laughing and talking.<br />The holy man said, "I don’t understand.<br />""It is simple" said the Lord, "In this place the people have learned to feed one another."</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-51711211594138487812009-07-17T10:32:00.000-07:002009-07-16T23:53:14.527-07:00WOMAN<span style="color:#ff6666;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Woman was out golfing one day when she hit the ball into the woods.<br />She went into the woods to look for it and found a frog in a trap.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The frog said to her, "If you release me from this trap, I will grant you three wishes.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">" The woman freed the frog, and the frog said, "Thank you, but I failed to mention that there was a condition to your wishes. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Whatever you wish for, your husband will get times ten!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">"The woman said, "That's okay.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">" For her first wish, she wanted to be the most beautiful woman in the world.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The frog warned her, "You do realize that this wish will also make your husband the most handsome man in the world, an Adonis whom women will flock to". </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The woman replied, "That's okay, because I will be the most beautiful woman and he will have eyes only for me.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">"So, KAZAM-she's the most beautiful woman in the world!</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">For her second wish, she wanted to be the richest woman in the world. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The frog said, "That will make your husband the richest man in the world.

He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.</span><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffcccc;">3. He still lives in the same small three bedroom house in mid-town Omaha , that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence surrounding it.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:100%;color:#ffff99;">5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world's largest private jet company.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;color:#ff6666;">6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each year to the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. </span></span></strong></span><br /><span style="color:#990000;"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="color:#ff6666;">He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.

The doe was very devoted to her husband and helped him in all matters of life.<br />One day, the stag was caught in the trap of a hunter and the doe was very frightened as was the stag. All the friends of the stag left him. But the doe remained steadfast next to him and waited for the hunter to come. She was very devoted to her husband. As soon as the hunter came, she fell on his knees and begged, "Sir! please make a nice bed of leaves for me and my husband and then kill me first and then my husband and you can have a nice feast."<br />The hunter was so amazed and surprised by her love, that he went to first free the stag before he prepared the bed of leaves, and in a split second, the stag and the doe ran after being free.<br /></span><span style="color:#ff0000;">Moral: Great love can achieve anything.</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-62260563591723536702009-06-18T03:49:00.000-07:002009-06-17T18:45:30.605-07:00Good Trading Goals: Focus on what you can control<span style="color:#ff0000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ff0000;">Sent by Sumit Aggarwal</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#66ff99;">Alex at My Trader’s Journal got me thinking about objectives with his </span><a title="My Trader's Journal" href="http://mytradersjournal.com/stock-options/2009/01/08/2009-goals/" target="_blank"><span style="color:#66ff99;">2009 Goals</span></a><span style="color:#66ff99;"> blog post. In it he discusses the goals he is thinking about setting for his trading this year. He’s got one or two things he talks about fixing in his trading moving ahead, but a big part of his thinking seems to be on performance.<br />Performance based trading goalsI am not personally a big fan of traders making goals to achieve some given % return for the year (or any given timeframe). The simple reason for this is that whether you achieve your objective or not tends to be based on things out of your control. By that I mean for most traders the market is the biggest deciding factor in whether a given performance objective can be reached (or exceeded) than anything else. If the market just doesn’t provide the good opportunities you need, there really isn’t anything that can be done. In that case, missing the performance objective doesn’t come down to anything you could do or have done.<br />The exception to that general rule is traders who have short-term strategies which produce a high trade frequency. That high trade volume tends to produce a higher level of performance consistency and predictability.<br />Execution based trading goalsWhat I do like to see traders have is objectives based on execution of desired actions - things they can control. For most traders this often boils down to not doing something which has consistently proven detrimental to performance. Trading against the longer-term trend is an example of that. Not trading in the US afternoon might be another some forex traders would have. Or, to put them more positively, trading with the trend and trading in the more active times of the forex trading day.<br />The idea here is to develop consistency of trading effort and execution. If you consistently do the things you should and avoid the things you shouldn’t, then the performance will tend to follow.<br />It’s like I used to tell my players when I was coaching: You cannot control what other people do or what external events may impact you along the way. You can only control your own mindset and efforts, and how you react to things. Focus on that and good things will happen.</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-65977623702947372472009-06-09T19:50:00.000-07:002009-06-09T19:57:14.018-07:00BEST LITTLE STORIES,<span style="color:#ffccff;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;color:#ff0000;"><em>Sent by -Shruti Aggarwal</em></span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">An 80 year old man was standing in his house along with his 40 year's old highly educated son. Suddenly Old man saw two crows through their window.<br /> The Father asked his Son, "What is this?</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">"The Son replied "It is a crow".</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">After a few minutes, the Father asked his Son the 2nd time, "What is this?</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">"The Son said "Father, I have just now told you "It's a crow".</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">After a little while, the old Father again asked his Son the 3rd time, "What is this?"</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">At this time some ex-pression of irritation was felt in the Son's tone when he said to his Father with a rebuff."It's a crow, a crow".</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">A little after, the Father again asked his Son t he 4th time, "What is this?"</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">This time the Son shouted at his Father, "Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times 'IT IS A CROW'. </span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">Are you not able to understand this?"</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">A little later the Father went to his room and came back with an old tattered diary, which he had maintained since his Son was born. On opening a page, he asked his Son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary:-</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">"Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My Son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a Crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel irritated. I rather felt affection for my innocent child".</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;"> While the little child asked him 23 times "What is this", the Father had felt no irritation in replying to the same question all 23 times and when today the Father asked his Son the same question just 4 times, the Son felt irritated and annoyed.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">So...</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">If your parents attain old age, do not repulse them or look at them as a burden, but speak to them a gracious word; be cool, obedient, humble and kind to them. Be considerate to your parents.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">From today say this aloud, "I want to see my parents happy forever. They have cared for me ever since I was a little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me. They crossed all mountains and valleys without seeing the storm and heat to make me a person presentable in the Society today".</span><br /><span style="color:#ffccff;">Say a prayer to GOD, "I will serve my old parents in the BEST way. I will say all good and kind words to my dear parents, no matter how they behave. When I am old, I do not want my child to repeat the words when the crow perches on my window".</span>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4252540133991905749.post-76045002220726346412009-06-01T04:33:00.000-07:002009-06-01T04:42:26.786-07:00WHAT HAPPENS IN HEAVEN...???<span style="color:#ff0000;">Post by - Sumit Aggarwal</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">I dream that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. Wewalked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'ThisIs the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to GOD said in prayerare Received.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so manyangels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets andscraps from people all over the world.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and DeliverySection. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for areprocessed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels workinghard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested andwere being packaged for delivery to Earth</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at theDoor of a very small station To my great surprise, only one angel wasSeated there, idly doing nothing.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"> 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' My angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemedembarrassed 'How Is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.'So sad,' the angel sighed. 'After people receive the blessings thatthey asked For, very few send back acknowledgments ..</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">''How does one acknowledge GOD's blessings?' I asked.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank you, GOD.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">''What blessings should they acknowledge?' I asked.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roofoverhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in adish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy .</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">''And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% inthe world who has that opportunity.'Also .......</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">' If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ...

You are ahead of 700 million people in the world.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">''If you can attend a Place of Worship without the fear of harassment,arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than,three billion people In the world .'</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;"></span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'If your parents are still alive and still married ...you are very rare ..''If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you'reunique to all those in doubt and despair.</span><br /><span style="color:#ffcccc;">'Ok, what now?

In her grief, she went to the holy man and asked, "What prayers, what magical incantations do you have to bring my son back to life?</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">"Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, "Fetch me a mustard seed from a home that has never known sorrow. We will use it to drive the sorrow out of your life." The woman went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">She came first to a splendid mansion, knocked at the door, and said, "I am looking for a home that has never known sorrow. Is this such a place? It is very important to me.</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">"They told her, "You've certainly come to the wrong place," and began to describe all the tragic things that recently had befallen them.</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">The woman said to herself, "Who is better able to help these poor, unfortunate people than I, who have had misfortune of my my own?</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">"She stayed to comfort them, then went on in search of a home that had never known sorrow. But wherever she turned, in hotels and in other places, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune.</span></div><div><span style="color:#99ffff;">The woman became so involved in helping others cope with their sorrows that she eventually let go of her own. She would later come to understand that it was the quest to find the magical mustard seed that drove away her suffering.</span></div><br /><p></p><p></p>SHRIDHARhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11132884623679484170noreply@blogger.com3
