வாழ்வியல் வேதம்!

உண்மையின் உண்மை..


உண்மையின் உண்மை..













விரல்களின் ஊடே வடியும் வார்த்தைகள்
என்றும் தொட்டதில்லை
உண்மையின் விளிம்பை;

நாவில் பழகும் இனிய சொற்கள்
என்றும் சொன்னதில்லை
உண்மையின் சொல்லை;

முகத்தில் தெரியும் குறிப்புகள்
என்றும் காட்டியதில்லை
உண்மையின் உருவத்தை;

தேங்கி நிற்கும் உண்மைகளை
வழிய விட்டால்
கன்னத்து கோடுகளும் சாட்சியாகிவிடுமென
நீ
கண்களை மூடியதை
என் கண்கள் கண்டுக்கொண்டன;

கண்களில் தெரியும் ஏதோ ஒன்று
காட்டி கொடுத்துவிடுகிறது
உண்மையின் உண்மையை.

Love Poem - Cinderella

Cinderella

I'm standing on the stairs in a magnificent hall
Wearing the dress that I bought for the ball
It's long and flowing, sparkling white
My tiara of diamonds shines in the light

At the bottom of the stairs you're waiting for me
And I gracefully float down for all to see
You take my hand and touch my face
You're the only one I notice in the expansive space

We're now dancing in shadows of flickering light
Holding each other close, holding each other tight
You kiss my neck and then touch my face
Then kiss my lips in a loving embrace

Time stands still whilst we are together
Feels so good, it seems like forever
I look at the clock, that cannot be right
But the bells start to chime, confirming midnight

But there's no need to leave
From the ball tonight
I'll be with you my prince
For the rest of our life.

- Becci Iddon -

Love Poem

Love Spell

Every time I look at you
my heart skips a beat
I wonder if you know, my love,
that my heart is at your feet
I leave it there for you to do
whatever that you wish
You could take my heart,
and love me,
Or just leave me in this bliss.

Date and Time

 

Date and Time

Using Date and Time Functions in Excel
 
Adding Dates
 

 

You can add some number of days to a date by simply using the =SUM function. Since Excel stores dates as
a number of days, no further work is required. For example, to add 5 days to 1/1/98, in A1, use =A1+5,
which gives 1/6/98.

To add a number of months or years to a date, you first need to decompose the initial date into its year, month,
and day components, add in the desired offset, and then have Excel put the components back together.
For example, say you have a date in A1, to which you want to add 3 months and 4 days. You'd use the following formula:

=DATE(YEAR(A1), MONTH(A1)+3, DAY(A1)+4)

Excel will automatically handle the situation which arises when you pass a number greater than 12 to the MONTH function, or a number greater than 31 to the DAY function.

For example, adding 6 months and 10 days to 8/25/97, in A1 with the formula

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+6, DAY(A1)+10)

gives 3/7/98.

Generally, you cannot add two dates that are in serial format. For example, adding 1/15/1998 and 6/15/1998 gives 6/30/2096, which is essentially meaningless. If you want to add some number of days to a date, but exclude weekends and holidays, you can use the WORKDAY function, which is part of the Analysis Tool Pack.

Note, however, that adding a month to a date may give you a result that you do not expect. For example, suppose A1 contains the date 31-Jan-2002. If you use the formula
=DATE(YEAR(A1), MONTH(A1)+1, DAY(A1))

you will get the date 3-March-2002, because the "31st" day of February, 2002, is 3-March. The formula below will work around this issue, returning the last day of the next month if the date in A1 is a day that does not exist in the next month.

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,MIN(DAY(A1),DAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+2,0))))

For example, if A1 contains the date 31-Jan-2002, this formula will return 28-Feb-2002. It is important that you and your users understand what "one month later" means in the context of your workbook.

Calculate Due Date

Let's say you have a bill due every 6 months.  To calculate the next due date from the current date in cell A1 you would use this formula.

=DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+7,0

Calculate the number of days in a month

Excel lacks a function for calculating the number of days in a particular month, so you'll need to construct your own formula.

If cell A1 contains a date, this formula will return the number of days in the month:

   =DAY(DATE(YEAR(A1),MONTH(A1)+1,1)-1).
 
Computing Age
 
  
  
 
 
Computing someone's age from their birthday is simple, using the =DATEDIF function. Suppose that a person's birthday is in A1. The following will return their age in Years, Month, and Days: 
 
 
=DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"y")&" Y, "& DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"ym")& 
" M, " & DATEDIF(A1,NOW(),"md") & " D" 
 
Convert Date Cell into 3 Columns
 
  
  
 
 
If your date is in A1: 
(eg; 05/01/2005)
 
 
B1: =TEXT(A1,"dd")
C1: =TEXT(A1,"mmm")
D1: =TEXT(A1,"yyyy")
 
 
How can I calculate future dates in Excel?
 
  
  
 
 
Excel can be used to quickly calculate future dates.
 
 
For example:
 
 
Enter a date in cell A1 (type =NOW() to use today's date); the date will be displayed according to the number format applied to the cell.  
In cell B1, enter =A1 + 7 to calculate the date one week later. 

Excel's Autofill feature can be used to display a list of dates using the same calculation (  e.g. a list of dates 7 days apart). To do this, select the cell which contains the calculation (e.g. cell B1) and drag the SMALL', OFFSETX, 16, OFFSETY, 16, BGCLASS, 'lore_glossary_term_popup', FGCLASS, 'lore_glossary_term_popup_definition', TEXTFONTCLASS, 'lore_glossary_term_popup_definition', CAPTIONFONTCLASS, 'lore_glossary_term_popup_caption'); }" onmouseout="function anonymous() { nd(); }" href="javascript:void(0);">  small black box in the lower-right corner of the cell down or across some cells. Release the mouse button to display the list of dates.
 
 
How to Accumulate Hours and Minutes Greater Than 24 Hours
 
  
  
 
 
If you want to correctly display a time greater than 24 hours, you can use the 37:30:55 built-in format. If you want to use a custom format instead, you must enclose the hours parameter of the format in brackets, for example:   
   [h]:mm  
 
How to Calculate Elapsed Time
 
  
  
 
When you subtract the contents of one cell from another to find the amount of time elapsed between them, the result is a serial number that represents the elapsed hours, minutes, and seconds. To make this number easier to read, use the h:mm time format in the cell that contains the result. 

In the following example, if cells C2 and D2 contain the formula =B2-A2, and cell C2 is formatted in the General format, the cell displays a decimal number (in this case, 0.53125, the serial number representation of 12 hours and 45 minutes).   
   A1: Start Time   B1: End Time    C1: Difference  D1: Difference                                          (General)       (h:mm)     A2: 6:30 AM      B2: 7:15 PM     C2:  0.53125     D2: 12:45      
 
If midnight falls between your start time and end time, you must account for the 24-hour time difference. You can do this by adding the number 1, which represents one 24-hour period. For example, you might set up the following table, which allows for time spans beyond midnight.   
   A1: Start Time    B1: End Time    C1: Difference  D1: Difference                                           (General)       (h:mm)     A2: 7:45 PM       B2: 10:30 AM    C2:  0.61458333  D2: 14:45      
 
To set up this table, type the following formula in cells C2 and D2:  
     =B2-A2+IF(A2>B2,1)  
 
 
 
 
How to Convert a Date to Its Decimal Number Equivalent
 
  
  
 
 
To convert a serialized date (h:mm:ss) to a decimal number (0.00), you must convert the serial number to a decimal by converting to a 24-hour base. You do this by multiplying the time by 24 as follows   
     =Time*24     The result is 4.5.
 
     If the cell contains both a  date and a time, use the following formula:    =(Time-INT(Time))*24
 
For example, if cell A1 reads "6/20/96 4:30 AM", the formula is:    =(A1-INT(A1))*24
 
The result again is 4.5.
 
 
How to Find the Number of Days Between Today and a Future Date
 
  
  
 
 
To find the number of days between now and a date sometime in the future, use the following formula  
     ="mm/dd/yy"-NOW()  
 
 
where <var>"mm/dd/yy"var> is the future date. Use the General format to format the cell that contains the formula
  
 
How to Find the Number of Days, Months, and Years Between Two Dates
 
  
  
 
 
To calculate the number of days, months, and years between two dates, where the start and end dates are entered in cells A1 and A2 respectively, follow these steps:   
  
  
1.
  
Create a new workbook 
 
  
2.
  
Type the following data in the workbook:  
   A1:     03/25/94      A2:    05/01/98       
 
 
  
3.
  
Type the following formula in cell D1:  
  =YEAR(A2)-YEAR(A1)-IF(OR(MONTH(A2)<MONTH(A1),AND(MONTH(A2)=MONTH(A1),   DAY(A2)<DAY(A1))),1,0)&" years, "&MONTH(A2)-MONTH(A1)+IF(AND(MONTH(A2)   <=MONTH(A1),DAY(A2)<DAY(A1)),11,IF(AND(MONTH(A2)<MONTH(A1),DAY(A2)   >=DAY(A1)),12,IF(AND(MONTH(A2)>MONTH(A1),DAY(A2)<DAY(A1)),-1)))&" months,   "&A2-DATE(YEAR(A2),MONTH(A2)-IF(DAY(A2)<DAY(A1),1,0),DAY(A1))&" days"         
 
 
NOTE: If you copy and paste this formula, make sure that there are no line breaks, or the formula will not work.
 
 
 
If you typed the formula correctly, cell D1 now displays: 
 
 
       4 years, 1 months, 6 days  
 
How to Find the Number of Weekdays Between Two Dates
 
  
  
 
To find the number of weekdays between two dates, where the start and end dates are typed in cells A1 and A2 respectively, follow these steps:  
  
  
1.
  
Create a new workbook.
 
  
2.
  
Type the following data in the workbook:  
   A1:    03/25/94      A2:    05/01/98       
 
 
  
3.
  
In cell D1, type the following formula:  
   =NETWORKDAYS(A1,A2)       
 
 
1,071 is the result.
 
 
How to Increase Dates Incrementally 
 
  
  
 
 
To increase a date by a number of years, months, or days, use the formula  
      =DATE(YEAR(reference)+value1,MONTH(reference)+value2,DAY(reference)+value3)      
 
where reference is either the date value or cell reference that contains the date, and value1, value2, and value3 are the increments by which you want to increase the year, month, and day, respectively.  

For example, to increase a date by one month, the formula is:  
   =DATE(YEAR(DATEVALUE("6/20/96")),MONTH(DATEVALUE("6/20/96"))+1,      DAY(DATEVALUE("6/20/96")))

Interesting article











*       1. Sleep less. This is one of the best investments you can make to
make your life more productive and rewarding. Most people do not need more
than 6 hours to maintain an excellent state of health. Try getting up one 
hour earlier for 3-4 weeks and it will develop into a powerful habit.
Remember, it is the quality not the quantity of sleep that is important. And
just imagine having an extra 30 hours a month to spend on the things that are 
important to you.



*       2. Set aside one hour every morning for personal development matters.
Meditate, visualize your day, read inspirational texts to set the tone of
your day, listen to motivational tapes or read great literature. Take this 
quiet period to vitalize and energize your spirit for the productive day
ahead. Watch the sun rise once a week or be with nature. Starting the day off
well is a powerful strategy for self-renewal and personal effectiveness. 



*       3. Do not allow those things that matter the most in your life be at
the mercy of activities that matter the least. Every day, take the time to
ask yourself the question "is this the best use of my time and energy?" Time 
management is life management so guard your time with great care.



*       4. Remember that your expectations create your reality and life
pretty much sends you what you think and expect.



 *       5. Always answer the phone with enthusiasm in your voice and show
your appreciation for the caller. Good phone manners are essential. To convey
authority on the line, stand up. This will instill further confidence in your 
voice.



*       6. Throughout the day we all get inspiration and excellent ideas.
Capture them. Keep a set of cards (the size of business cards; available at
most stationary stores) in your wallet along with a pencil to jot down these 
insights. When you get home, put the ideas in a central place such as a coil
notepad and review them from time to time. As noted by Oliver Wendell Holmes:
"Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original 
dimensions."



*       7. Set aside every Sunday evening for yourself and be strongly
disciplined with this habit. Use this period to plan your week, visualize
your encounters and what you want to achieve, to read new materials and 
inspirational books, to listen to soft soothing music and to simply relax.
This habit will serve as your anchor to keep you focused, motivated and
effective throughout the coming week.



*       8. Always remember the key principle that the quality of your life is 
the quality of your communication. This means the way you communicate with
others and, more importantly, the way you communicate with yourself. What you
focus on is what you get. If you look for the positive this is what you get. 
This is a fundamental law of Nature.



*       9. Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the task
because it is what you love to do or because it will help someone or is a
valuable exercise. Don't do it for the money or the recognition. Those will 
come naturally. This is the way of the world.



*       10. Laugh for five minutes in the mirror each morning. Steve Martin
does. Laughter activates many beneficial chemicals within the body that place 
us into a very joyous state. Laughter also returns the body to a state of
balance. Laughter therapy has been regularly used to heal persons with varied
ailments and is a wonderful tonic for life's ills. While the average 4 year 
old laughs 500 times a day, the average adult is lucky to laugh 15 times a
day. Revitalize the habit of laughter, it will put far more living into your
life.



*       11. Light a candle beside you when you are reading in the evening. It 
is most relaxing and creates a wonderful, soothing atmosphere. Make your home
an oasis from the frenzied world outside. Fill it with great music, great
books and great friends.



*       12. To enhance your concentration and powers of focus, count your 
steps when you walk. This is a particularly strong technique. Take six steps
while taking a long inhale, hold your breath for another six steps, and then
exhale for six steps. If six steps is too long for the breaths, do whatever 
you feel comfortable with. You will feel very alert, refreshed, internally
quiet and centered after this exercise. So many people allow their minds to
be filled with mental chatter. All peak performers appreciate the power of a 
quiet, clear mind which will concentrate steadily on all important tasks.



*       13. Learn to meditate effectively. The mind is naturally a very noisy
machine which wants to move from one subject to another like an unchained 
monkey. One must learn to restrain and discipline it if one is to achieve
anything of substance and to be peaceful. Meditation for twenty minutes in
the morning and twenty minutes in the evening will certainly provide you with 
exceptional results if regularly practiced for six months. Learned sages of
the East have been advancing the many benefits of meditation for over 5000
years.



*       14. Learn to be still. The average person doesn't spend even 30 
minutes a month in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of
sitting quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least ten minutes a
day. Simply think about what is important to you in your life. Reflect on 
your mission. Silence indeed is golden. As the Zen master once said, it is
the space between the bars that holds the cage.



*       15. Enhance your will-power; it is likely one of the best training
 programs you can invest in. All elite performers have high levels of
self-discipline. Here are some ideas to strengthen your will and become a
stronger person:
       a) Do not let your mind float like a piece of paper in the wind. Work 
hard to keep it focused at all times. When doing a task, think of nothing
else. When walking to work, count the steps that it takes to get all the way
to the office. This is not easy but your mind will soon understand that you 
hold its reins and not vice versa. Your mind must eventually become as still
as a candle flame in a corner where there is no draft.
       b) Your will is like a muscle. You must first exercise it and then
push before it gets stronger. This necessarily involves short term pain but 
be assured that the improvements will come and will touch your character in a
most positive way. When you are hungry, wait another hour before your meal.
When you are laboring over a difficult task and your mind is prompting you to 
pick up the latest magazine for a break or to get up and go talk to a friend,
curb the impulse. Soon you will be able to sit for hours in a precisely
concentrated state. Sir Isaac Newton, one of the greatest classical 
physicists the world has produced, once said: "if I have done the public any
service, it is due to patient thought." Newton had a remarkable ability to
sit quietly and think without interruption for very long periods of time. If 
he can develop this so can you.
       c) You can also build your will-power by restraint in your conduct
with others. Speak less (use the 60/40 Rule = listen 60% of the time and
speak a mere 40%, if that). This will not only make you more popular but you 
will learn much wisdom as everyone we meet, every day has something to teach
us. Also restrain the urge to gossip or to condemn someone who you feel has
made a mistake. Stop complaining and develop a cheerful, vital and strong 
personality. You will greatly influence others.
       d) When a negative thought comes to your mind, immediately replace it
with one that is positive. Positive always dominates over the negative and
your mind has to be conditioned to think only the best thoughts. Negative 
thinking is a conditioned process whereby the negative patterns are
established over and over. Rid yourself of any limitations and become a
powerful positive thinker.



*       16. Make an effort to be humorous throughout the day. Not only is it 
beneficial from a physical viewpoint but it diffuses tension in difficult
circumstances and creates an excellent atmosphere wherever you are. It was
recently reported that members of the Tauripan tribe of South America have a 
ritual where they awake in the middle of the night to tell each other jokes.
Even tribesmen in the deepest sleep wake to enjoy the laugh and then return
to their state of slumber in seconds. The shortest distance between two human 
beings is laughter.



*       17. Become a highly disciplined time manager. There are roughly 168
hours in a week. This surely allows plenty of time for achievement of the
many goals we desire to accomplish. Be ruthless with your time. Set aside a 
few minutes each morning to plan your day. Plan around your priorities and
focus on not only those tasks which are immediate but not important (i.e.,
many telephone calls) but especially on those which are important but not 
urgent, for these allow for the greatest personal and professional
development. Important but not immediate activities are those which produce
long-term, sustainable benefits and include exercise, strategic planning, the 
development of relationships and professional education. Never let the things
which matter most be placed in the backseat as compared to those that matter
least.



*       18. You become who you drink coffee with. Associate only with 
positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your
valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. By developing
relationships with those committed to constant improvement and the pursuit of 
the best that life has to offer, you will have plenty of company on your path
to the top of whatever mountain you seek to climb.



*       19. Stephen Hawking, one of the great modern physicists of the world, 
is reported to have said that we are on a minor planet of a very average star
located within the outer limits of one of a hundred thousand million
galaxies. Are your problems really significant in light of this? You walk 
this Earth for but a short time. Why not become devoted to having only a
wonderful experience. Why not dedicate yourself to leaving a powerful legacy
to the world? Sit down now and write out a list of all that you have in your 
life. Start first with your health or your family - the things we often take
for granted. Put down the country we live in and the food we eat. Do not stop
until you have written down fifty items. Once every few days, go through this 
list - you will be uplifted and recognize the richness of your existence.



*       20. You must have a personal philosophy in life. This is simply a set
of guiding principles which clearly state where you are going and where you 
want to be at the end of your life. A mission statement embodies your values.
It is your personal lighthouse keeping you steadily on the course of your
dreams. Over a period of one month, set a few hours aside to write down five 
or ten principles which will govern your life and which will keep you focused
at all times. Examples might be to consistently serve others, to be a
considerate citizen, to become highly wealthy or to serve as a powerful 
leader. Whatever the mission statement of your life, refine it and review it
regularly. Then when something adverse happens or someone tries to pull you
off course, you quickly and precisely return to your chosen path with the 
full knowledge that you are moving in the direction that you have selected.



*       21. No one can insult or hurt you without your permission. One of the
golden keys to happiness and great success is the way you interpret events 
which unfold before you. Highly successful people are master interpreters.
People who have attained greatness have an ability which they have developed
to interpret negative or disempowering events as positive challenges which 
will assist them in growing and moving even farther up the ladder of success.
There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your
development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. 
There are no failures, only lessons.



*       22. Take a speed reading course. Reading is a powerful way to gain
many years of experience from a few hours of study. For example, most
biographies reflect the strategies and philosophies of great leaders or 
courageous individuals. Read them and model them. Speed reading will allow
you to digest large quantities of material in relatively small periods of
time.



*       23. Remember people's names and treat everyone well. This habit, 
along with enthusiasm, is one of the great success secrets. Everyone in this
world wears an imaginary button that screams out "I WANT TO FEEL IMPORTANT
AND APPRECIATED!". Leave people better than you found them and just watch 
your own life change.



*       24. Be soft as a flower when it comes to kindness but tough as
thunder when it comes to principle. Be courteous and polite at all times but
never be pushed around. Ensure that you are always treated with respect. 



*       25. Do something each day to improve yourself and your life. Even a
daily enhancement of only 1% will lead to a 30% improvement just four weeks
from today.



*       26. Be truthful, patient, persevering, modest and generous. And be 
the kindest person you know.



*       27. Soak in a warm bath at the end of a long, productive day. Reward
yourself for even the smallest of achievement. Take time out for renewal of
your mind, body and spirit. Soon all your more important goals will be met 
and you will move to the next level of peak performance.



*       28. Learn the power of breathing and its relationship with your
energy source. The mind is intimately connected with your breathing. For 
example, when the mind is agitated, your breathing becomes quick and shallow.
When you are relaxed and focused, your breathing is deep and calm. By
practicing deep, abdominal breathing, you will develop a calm, serene 
demeanor that will remain cool in the hottest of circumstances. Remember the
rule of the Eastern mountain men: "to breathe properly is to live properly."



*       29. Recognize and cultivate the power of self-suggestion. It works 
and is an essential tool in maintaining peak performance. We are all
performers in one way or another and it is particularly valuable to use such
techniques of athletes and public figures for our own enhancement. If you 
want to become more enthusiastic, repeat "I am more enthusiastic today and am
improving this trait daily". Repeat it over and over. Purchase a legal
notepad and write out this mantra 500 times. Do it for three weeks with 
regular practice and feel that this quality is developing. Very soon it will
come. This is a strategy that Indian sages have employed for thousands of
years to aid their spiritual and mental development. Do not be discouraged if 
the results are not immediate, they will certainly develop. The spoken word
is a powerful influencer of the mind.



*       30. Maintain a journal to measure your progress and to express your
thoughts. Writing out not only your successes but your troubles is one of the 
world's most effective methods of erasing the worry habit, staying in optimum
state and developing precision of thought. Your life is worth living so your
life is worth recording.



*       31. Stress is simply a response which you create in the 
interpretation of an event. You see the world - not as it is but as you are.
Two people might find that a given event results in quite different
responses. For example, an after dinner speech might strike fear into the 
heart of an inexperienced speaker while a strong orator views it as a
wonderful opportunity to share his thoughts. Understanding that the perceived
negative effects of an event or task may be mentally manipulated and 
conditioned towards the positive, will allow you to be a peak performer in
all instances.



*       32. Read "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen
Covey. It contains a wealth of wisdom and powerful insights into further 
developing your character and enhancing your personal relationships.



*       33. Become a committed learning CD user. Most personal-mastery
programs and bestselling business books are now offered in this format. 
Listen to these inspirational materials on your way to work, whilst waiting
in the line at a bank or while you wash dishes in the evening. Make your car
a college on wheels and use the drive time to make knowledge your best 
friend. All down time can be very effectively used in this productive
fashion. Use such opportunities to learn and continually expand your mind and
its vast potential. All it takes is one big ideas to transform your life. 



*       34. Try fasting one day every two weeks. During these fast days,
drink fruit juice and eat fresh fruits only. You will feel more energetic,
cleansed and alert. Fasting also has a salutary effect on your will-power as 
you are subverting the otherwise pressing impulses in your mind calling on
you to eat more. And it will give your digestive system a much-needed break.



*       35. Keep a CD player at your office and listen to soft, soothing 
music throughout the day. Place pleasant scents and inspirational pictures in
your workplace. By the magic of association, your work will become something
you enjoy even more and arouse a very pleasant feeling within you. Budget 
your time on trips such that you can spend half an hour in the airport
bookstore. They always contain the latest and best self-mastery books and
tapes given that those who travel by air are of a group that finds value in 
these materials.



*       36. Read "As a Man Thinketh" by James Allen. And don't just read this
little book once, read it over and over again. It contains an abundance of
timeless wisdom on living a fuller and happier life. 



*       37. Remember that forgiveness is a virtue that few develop, but one
that is most important to maintaining peace of mind. Mark Twain wrote that
forgiveness is the fragrance the violet sheds on the heel that has crushed 
it. Practice forgiveness especially in those situations where it is seemingly
difficult. By using your emotional forgiveness muscles more regularly, petty
wrongs, remarks and slights will not touch you and nothing will penetrate 
your concentrated, serene mindset.



*       38. Empty your cup. A full cup cannot accept anything more.
Similarly, a person who believes that he cannot learn anything else will
stagnate quickly and not move to higher levels. A true sign of a secure, 
mature individual is someone who sees every opportunity as a chance to learn.
Even the teachers have teachers.



*       39. The Two Minute Mind is an excellent exercise for developing
concentration. Simply stare at the second hand on your wristwatch for two 
minutes and think about nothing else for that time. At first your mind will
wander but after 21 days of practice, your attention will not waver during
the routine. One of the greatest qualities a person can develop to ensure his 
success is the ability to focus for extended periods of time. Learn to build
up your concentration muscles and no task will be too difficult for you.



*       40. Drink a cup of warm water before a speech. Ronald Reagan employed 
this strategy to ensure that he maintained his honey-smooth voice. Mastery of
the art of public speaking is a noble goal. So dedicate yourself to it. You
will be judged by the caliber of your communication skills. 



*       41. When you stand and meet someone, stand firm and steadfast. A
telling sign of an unfocused, weak mind is constant fidgeting, shifting of
the eyes and shallow breathing.



*       42. Act strong and you will be strong. Have courage and inspire 
others with your actions. But always be considerate.



*       43. Ask not what this world can give you but, rather, what you can
give to this world. Make service an important goal in your life. It is a most 
fulfilling investment of time. Remember, in the twilight of your life, when
all is said and done, the quality of your life boils down to the quality of
your contribution to others. Leave a rich legacy for those around you to 
savor. Sustained happiness does not come from what you get but from what you
give.



*       44. Once a week, rise at dawn. It is a magical time of day. Be still,
go for a walk or simply listen to an old Ella Fitzgerald recording. Take a 
long, hot shower and do 100 pushups. Read one of the classics. You will feel
alive and invigorated. Getting up early builds self-discipline and
self-respect.



*       45. Your health is your wealth. Without excellent health, you have 
nothing. Make being in world-class physical condition your number one
priority.



*       46. Master the art of public speaking. There are few natural
speakers. One great trial lawyer stammered dreadfully but through courage and 
strength of conviction, he developed into a brilliant orator. Role model
anyone you think is a highly effective, influential communicator. Visualize a
picture of this person. Stand like him, smile like him, and talk like him. 
The results will startle you.



*       47. Seek out leadership speakers committed to character training and
lifelong success. Make it a point to attend inspirational lectures each month
to consistently renew the importance of personal growth in your mind. In a 
two hour seminar, you can learn powerful techniques and strategies that
others have spent many years learning and refining. Never feel that you have
no time for gathering new ideas, you are investing in yourself. 



*       48. Read the wonderful book "Discovering Happiness" by Dennis Wholey.
It will certainly open up new horizons for you in your quest for an optimal
state of health and happiness.

 

*       49. To enhance your concentration, read a passage in a book you have
never explored. Then try to recite it verbatim. Practice this for only 5
minutes a day and enjoy the results which follow after a few months of 
effort.



*       50. Try entering a 5 km running race and then a 10 km event. The
adrenaline that flows from the experience of racing with several hundred
other fitness-minded people is exhilarating. By constantly pushing the 
envelope of your capacity, your potential will quickly unfold. Remember, the
body will give you only what you ask of it.

Weekend Reading : Change your vision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!











There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so
many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop
consulting galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and 
underwent hundreds of injections.

But the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who has
supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the
millionaire. The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he 
should concentrate only on green
colours and not to fall his eyes on any other colours. The millionaire got
together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and
directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted in green 
colour just as the monk had directed.

When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants
ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress,
lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back. 

Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green
spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and
trees and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share 
of his fortune. You cannot paintthe world green." Let us change our vision
and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let
us shape ourselves first."

Lets change our vision..!!

A Proof of which Gender is Intelligent











 
An English professor wrote the words:
" A woman without her man is nothing"
on the chalkboard and asked his students to punctuate it correctly.. 

All of the males in the class wrote :  
"A woman, without her man, is nothing." 

All the females in the class wrote : 
"A woman: without her, man is nothing." 

Punctuation is powerful!!
