10 Things You Can Learn From Steve Jobs
10 Things You Can Learn From Steve
Jobs
Steve Jobs was a technology and
business icon who founded Apple at
age 21. At that time, he would have
been called a whiz kid— but now
this age group of entrepreneurs are
called Millennials and are a new
demographic. We grew up in a
world where Apple was a fruit
second and an electronic first. With
18 billion apps already downloaded,
Steve Jobs didn't just pave the way
for our generation—he created our
entire way of life. Below are the 10
things his life and career example
can teach us.
Go where the puck is going to be:
Steve Jobs followed Wayne Gretzky's
advice: "A good hockey player plays
where the puck is. A great hockey
player plays where the puck is going
to be." Jobs went where he saw
technology was going, not where it
had been. Don't just focus on where
you have been or what currently
exists. Focus on what tomorrow will
look like.
A good thing takes time to build:
When Jobs first bought Pixar
Studios, it was a mess. Their first
full feature movie, Toy Story, took
years to develop and build. It took a
lot of money and patience. And,
Jobs had that. Many Gen Yers lack
patience. Job hopping today is an
all-too-common but highly
undesirable trait.
Differentiate yourself: His black
turtleneck shirts and unique
presentation style made Jobs stand
out. In a sea of tech entrepreneurs,
he found a way to make geeky cool.
Gen Y as a generation has been
good at standing out as a group,
but you have to stand out as an
individual as well. Be memorable.
Don't use time as an excuse: Jobs
was only 56 when he died, and like
the rest of us, he also had only 24
hours in a day. But, he
accomplished more in one short life
than most will in multiple lifetimes.
Give up the excuse that you are too
busy or there isn't enough time.
Maintain focus: This is a rare quality
in people across generations, but
Jobs was a master at it. He focused
his time and attention on the things
that mattered most to him and the
company.
Looks matter: You don't have to be
a good designer to appreciate good
design. Apple's products stood out
above others because they were
impeccably designed and
aesthetically appealing. Simply, they
looked good. But design extends to
all things. Don't turn in a report if
it doesn't look good. Take the extra
effort to format the email before
you send it to your boss. Design is
in the details. Don't ignore it.
Learn when to step up and when to
step down: When Apple realized it
needed Jobs back in charge in 1996,
he took the helm with intention.
And, when Michael Dell
recommended that Apple sell its
shares and apologize to
shareholders, Jobs ignored his
comments and kept building. But,
when he felt that he could no longer
do his job, he stepped aside. To be
truly successful, you have to know
when to step up as a leader, and
when to step aside—also as a true
leader.
Learn to cross-pollinate: Jobs often
said that if he hadn't taken a class
in calligraphy at Reed College, he
would have never come up with
different typefaces for the Mac.
Sticking to learning about your
industry is great, but the best ideas
come from widening your scope of
learning.
Understand the value of a team:
When asked about his business
model, Jobs once replied in an
interview, "My model for business is
The Beatles: They were four guys
that kept each others' negative
tendencies in check; they balanced
each other. And the total was
greater than the sum of the parts.
Great things in business are not
done by one person, they are done
by a team of people."
Don't listen to the critics: And the
higher you go, the more they
clamor. Steve Jobs had critics, but
he chose to ignore them. Jobs
personified the words uttered by
Theodore Roosevelt some 100 years
ago —"It is not the critic who
counts: not the man who points out
how the strong man stumbles or
where the doer of deeds could have
done better. The credit belongs to
the man who is actually in the
arena, whose face is marred by dust
and sweat and blood, who strives
valiantly, who errs and comes up
short again and again, because there
is no effort without error or
shortcoming, but who knows the
great enthusiasms, the great
devotions, who spends himself for a
worthy cause; who, at the best,
knows, in the end, the triumph of
high achievement, and who, at the
worst, if he fails, at least he fails
while daring greatly, so that his
place shall never be with those cold
and timid souls who knew neither
victory nor defeat."

Mature peoples rises in LOVE
Immature people falling in love destroy
each other's freedom, create a
bondage, make a prison. Mature
persons in love help each other to be
free; they help each other to destroy all
sorts of bondages. And when love
flows with freedom there is beauty.
When love flows with dependence
there is ugliness.
A mature person does not fall in love,
he or she rises in love. Only immature
people fall; they stumble and fall down
in love. Somehow they were managing
and standing. Now they cannot
manage and they cannot stand. They
were always ready to fall on the
ground and to creep. They don't have
the backbone, the spine; they don't
have the integrity to stand alone.
A mature person has the integrity to
stand alone. And when a mature
person gives love, he or she gives
without any strings attached to it.
When two mature persons are in love,
one of the great paradoxes of life
happens, one of the most beautiful
phenomena: they are together and yet
tremendously alone. They are together
so much that they are almost one. Two
mature persons in love help each
other to become more free. There is
no politics involved, no diplomacy, no
effort to dominate. Only freedom and
love.

Love Story
"The Lost Wallet"
As I walked home one freezing day, I stumbled on a wallet someone had lost in the street. I picked it up and looked inside to find some identification so I could call the owner. But the wallet contained only three dollars and a crumpled letter that looked as if it had been in there for years. The envelope was worn and the only thing that was legible on it was the return address. I started to open the letter, hoping to find some clue. Then I saw the dateline–1924. The letter had been written almost sixty years ago. It was written in a beautiful feminine handwriting on powder blue stationery with a little flower in the left-hand corner. It was a "Dear John" letter that told the recipient, whose name appeared to be Michael, that the writer could not see him any more because her mother forbade it. Even so, she wrote that she would always love him. It was signed, Hannah. It was a beautiful letter, but there was no way except for the name Michael, that the owner could be identified. Maybe if I called information, the operator could find a phone listing for the address on the envelope. Operator," I began, "this is an unusual request. I'm trying to find the owner of a wallet that I found. Is there anyway you can tell me if there is a phone number for an address that was on an envelope in the wallet?" She suggested I speak with her supervisor, who hesitated for a moment then said, "Well, there is a phone listing at that address, but I can't give you the number." She said, as a courtesy, she would call that number, explain my story and would ask them if they wanted her to connect me. I waited a few minutes and then she was back on the line. "I have a party who will speak with you." I asked the woman on the other end of the line if she knew anyone by the name of Hannah. She gasped, "Oh! We bought this house from a family who had a daughter named Hannah. But that was 30 years ago!" "Would you know where that family could be located now?" I asked. "I remember that Hannah had to place her mother in a nursing home some years ago," the woman said. "Maybe if you got in touch with them they might be able to track down the daughter." She gave me the name of the nursing home and I called the number. They told me the old lady had passed away some years ago but they did have a phone number for where they thought the daughter might be living. I thanked them and phoned. The woman who answered explained that Hannah herself was now living in a nursing home. This whole thing was stupid, I thought to myself. Why was I making such a big deal over finding the owner of a wallet that had only three dollars and a letter that was almost 60 years old? Nevertheless, I called the nursing home in which Hannah was supposed to be living and the man who answered the phone told me, "Yes, Hannah is staying with us. " Even though it was already 10 p.m., I asked if I could come by to see her. "Well," he said hesitatingly, "if you want to take a chance, she might be in the day room watching television." I thanked him and drove over to the nursing home. The night nurse and a guard greeted me at the door. We went up to the third floor of the large building. In the day room, the nurse introduced me to Hannah. She was a sweet, silver-haired old timer with a warm smile and a twinkle in her eye. I told her about finding the wallet and showed her the letter. The second she saw the powder blue envelope with that little flower on the left, she took a deep breath and said, "Young man, this letter was the last contact I ever had with Michael." She looked away for a moment deep in thought and then said Softly, "I loved him very much. But I was only 16 at the time and my mother felt I was too young. Oh, he was so handsome. He looked like Sean Connery, the actor." "Yes," she continued. "Michael Goldstein was a wonderful person. If you should find him, tell him I think of him often. And," she hesitated for a moment, almost biting her lip, "tell him I still love him. You know," she said smiling as tears began to well up in her eyes, "I never did marry. I guess no one ever matched up to Michael…" I thanked Hannah and said goodbye. I took the elevator to the first floor and as I stood by the door, the guard there asked, "Was the old lady able to help you?" I told him she had given me a lead. "At least I have a last name. But I think I'll let it go for a while. I spent almost the whole day trying to find the owner of this wallet." I had taken out the wallet, which was a simple brown leather case with red lacing on the side. When the guard saw it, he said, "Hey, wait a minute! That's Mr. Goldstein's wallet. I'd know it anywhere with that bright red lacing. He's always losing that wallet. I must have found it in the halls at least three times." "Who's Mr. Goldstein?" I asked as my hand began to shake. "He's one of the old timers on the 8th floor. That's Mike Goldstein's wallet for sure. He must have lost it on one of his walks." I thanked the guard and quickly ran back to the nurse's office. I told her what the guard had said. We went back to the elevator and got on. I prayed that Mr. Goldstein would be up. On the eighth floor, the floor nurse said, "I think he's still in the day room. He likes to read at night. He's a darling old man." We went to the only room that had any lights on and there was a man reading a book. The nurse went over to him and asked if he had lost his wallet. Mr. Goldstein looked up with surprise, put his hand in his back pocket and said, "Oh, it is missing!" "This kind gentleman found a wallet and we wondered if it could be yours?" I handed Mr. Goldstein the wallet and the second he saw it, he smiled with relief and said, "Yes, that's it! It must have dropped out of my pocket this afternoon. I want to give you a reward." "No, thank you," I said. "But I have to tell you something. I read the letter in the hope of finding out who owned the wallet." The smile on his face suddenly disappeared. "You read that letter?" "Not only did I read it, I think I know where Hannah is." He suddenly grew pale. "Hannah? You know where she is? How is she? Is she still as pretty as she was? Please, please tell me," he begged. "She's fine…just as pretty as when you knew her." I said softly. The old man smiled with anticipation and asked, "Could you tell me where she is? I want to call her tomorrow." He grabbed my hand and said, "You know something, mister, I was so in love with that girl that when that letter came, my life literally ended. I never married. I guess I've always loved her. " "Mr. Goldstein," I said, "Come with me." We took the elevator down to the third floor. The hallways were darkened and only one or two little night-lights lit our way to the day room where Hannah was sitting alone watching the television. The nurse walked over to her. "Hannah," she said softly, pointing to Michael, who was waiting with me in the doorway. "Do you know this man?" She adjusted her glasses, looked for a moment, but didn't say a word. Michael said softly, almost in a whisper, "Hannah, it's Michael. Do you remember me?" She gasped, "Michael! I don't believe it! Michael! It's you! My Michael!" He walked slowly towards her and they embraced. The nurse and I left with tears streaming down our faces. "See," I said. "See how the Good Lord works! If it's meant to be, it will be." About three weeks later I got a call at my office from the nursing home. "Can you break away on Sunday to attend a wedding? Michael and Hannah are going to tie the knot!" It was a beautiful wedding with all the people at the nursing home dressed up to join in the celebration. Hannah wore a light beige dress and looked beautiful. Michael wore a dark blue suit and stood tall. They made me their best man. The hospital gave them their own room and if you ever wanted to see a 76-year-old bride and a 79-year-old groom acting like two teenagers, you had to see this couple. A perfect ending for a love affair that had lasted nearly 60 years. - Anonymous —

India’s Massive Blackout Calls for Smarter Grid, From the Bottom Up
A 600-million-person blackout lays
out the severity and scope of India's
grid challenges. Microgrids and solar
power could help.
JEFF ST. JOHN: JULY 31, 2012
The only good thing about India's
daily blackouts is that when there's a
truly massive power outage, people
are prepared for it.
Thus, when the power went out
across eight northern Indian states
early Monday morning, leaving some
370 million people in the dark, most
of the critical facilities -- Delhi's
international airport, hospitals and
police stations, large-scale commercial
and industrial power users and
higher-end homes and apartments --
were ready to go with backup
generators.
But everyday people were stuck with
no light, no heat, and no public
transportation. Traffic jams snarled
thoroughfares without traffic lights,
rail commuters were stuck in stalled
electric trains, and small businesses
had to close.
Then, on Tuesday, things got worse,
with a 20-state blackout that cut
power for anywhere between 620
million and 680 million people --
about half of India's population, or
twice the number of people now
living in the United States. This time
around, some hospitals lost power,
and coal miners were trapped by
stalled equipment. Only about 40
percent of power was back up by mid-
afternoon.
And while Monday's outage was tied
to demand outstripping supply, the
government was still "absolutely
clueless why this has happened
again," Shakti Sinha, principal
secretary in the power department of
the Delhi government, told The
Washington Post of Tuesday's
outage. Power Minister Sushil Kumar
Shinde blamed the new crisis on
states taking more than their allotted
share of electricity, and other officials
said grid faults were likely to blame,
but didn't know where they were or
how many may have occurred.
India's Grid in Dire Need of Repair
Could smart grid technologies help
solve the problems that caused these
blackouts? We'll have to wait for the
official inquiry to come up with what
went wrong before we can start
answering that question -- though it's
likely that more grid monitors and
sensors could make that fault
detection task easier.
Beyond that, however, there's a world
of work to do. India's grid is a mess,
with money-losing economics, daily
power outages, and technical and
non-technical power losses (i.e.,
inefficiency and theft) that add up to
20 percent to 50 percent of all power
generated, compared to the United
States' (almost all technical) losses of
7 percent or so.
Like the United States and China,
more than half of India's power
comes from coal-fired power plants,
but in India's case, it hasn't been able
to get enough coal lately, which has
driven up prices. Meanwhile, a lack of
rain has left the country's
hydroelectric dams -- some 19 percent
of its generation mix -- without the
water they need to generate power.
Overall, India's peak power demand
has been outstripping supply by
about 9 percent during the latest
summer peaks, when air conditioning,
a mark of an upwardly mobile
lifestyle, starts to kick in.
All of that inefficiency and waste has a
price. The Wall Street Journal reports
that India's poor infrastructure
consistently shaves about 2 percent
from its annual GDP growth. India's
fast-growing technology sector has
had to build its own power plants,
essentially, to make sure facilities don't
break down or sit idle. Most of that
backup power comes from diesel
generators, which are inefficient and
pollute the neighborhoods they run
in.
Smart Grid From the Bottom Up
But at the same time, all that backup
power could be one key to unlocking
India's smart grid potential. Indeed,
microgrids -- islands of power
generation and consumption that can
run themselves, or maybe help the
grid when it's stressed -- are how
India's grid is going to get smart, at
least in the short term.
Microgrids can range from showcase
technical campuses like Cisco and
Wipro's Lavasa City "e-city" project
outside Mumbai, to commercial-scale
business offerings like the one
Echelon is doing in a high-end
residential development in
Hyderabad. Most of India's
commercial and industrial buildings
have backup power of some kind.
Adding metering and control
capabilities could help justify drawing
that power more often -- perhaps
preemptively to avoid stress during
peak demand times.
It's important to remember that the
level of organization of projects like
these is strictly 'behind the meter.'
The economics of backup power
require customers to worry about
their own reliability first. Using them to
help the grid solve its problems is, for
now, awaiting more development on
the utility side of the smart grid, Varun
Nagaraj, Echelon's senior vice
president of product management,
told me earlier this year.
Right now the mood is cautious for
the grid giants working in India. IBM
launched a big smart grid planning
analytics system for the government's
Bureau of Energy Efficiency last year,
and Guru Banavar, CTO of IBM's
Global Public Sector unit, told me this
week that IBM is working with utilities
in Delhi and elsewhere in India.
Still, "we've not reached the front
where there's a big information
technology breakthrough," he said.
That's mainly because the grid is so
old and decrepit that it needs a
massive government-led investment
to get it up to speed. "At a campus
level, there's a lot more action going
on," he said, with IBM taking part in
"Smart City" developments with a host
of Indian governments.
Some grid projects are underway. In
March, Siemens announced an 18.5
million euro ($24.3 million) contract to
provide SCADA and distribution
management systems for eight cities
in the Indian state of Maharashtra,
including Mumbai. The idea is to give
the grid sensors and communications
to detect faults, direct outage repairs
and spot power theft, among other
functions. Indian IT giants like Wipro,
Infosys, HCL and TCS are deploying
technology to support solar power
arrays, campus-wide microgrids and
the like.
But a grand-scale (read: billions of
dollars) effort to tie India's six grids
together hasn't been forthcoming,
despite the formation of various
central government forums and task
forces. In March, a government
consortium announced plans for
$100 million in grants for smart grid
projects. But since then, the
government has scaled back its
promise for $1 trillion in general
infrastructure improvements, leaving
the fate of the smart grid funding
unclear.
Solar Power to the Rescue?
In the meantime, India's potential to
become the next hot solar power
market may be cut short by an
inadequate grid infrastructure. Dr.
Murray Cameron, COO of Phoenix
Solar AG, told us in May that India's
high-voltage grid was relatively stable,
making large-scale solar farm
integration tenable. But the "low-
voltage grid is in a sad state [and] the
medium-voltage grid is shaky," he
said.
Perhaps solar-equipped microgrids
could help solve the problem. India is
emerging as a hotbed for off-grid
solar power, with the potential for
installing more than 1 gigawatt per
year by 2016, according to GTM
Research and Bridge to India. More
than a third of the country lacks
electricity at all, making rural
micropower projects a big target.
But hospitals, factories, government
buildings and apartment blocks could
also generate their own power to help
shave a portion of their power use,
and thus cut down on peak overloads
like the one suspected of causing this
week's disaster. Adding solar to a mix
of generation, demand response and
energy storage systems could make
those systems self-supporting.
India's government wants to boost
solar power from today's 1,000
megawatts to 20,000 megawatts by
2022. Still, solar's economics face
challenges in India, including a split
between state government incentives
for power and the prices that power is
actually bought and sold at on the
nation's grid system, as The
Economist pointed out in an April
article. Whether solar power as a
microgrid backup, rather than a grid
resource, can make the economics
work is a more difficult question to
answer.

Must Read A Thriller Story!!!
Must Read A Thriller Story!!!
The Bus Conductor
Once there was a bus conductor, who
was very rude to his passengers.
One day a beautiful young girl, of
around 18 years,tried to board the bus,
but he didn't stop the bus.
Unfortunately the beautiful young girl
came under the bus and died on the
spot. Angry passengers took the
conductor to the police station, who in
turn took him to the court.
The judge was not at all impressed with
him and gave him capital punishment.
He was taken to the electrocution
chamber. There was a single chair in
the center of the room and a single
banana peel at one corner of the
room. The conductor was strapped to
the chair and high voltage current was
given to him. But to everyone's
amazement, he survived. The judge
decided to set him free, and he
returned to his profession.
After a few months, this time, a good
looking middle aged woman tried to
board the bus but the conductor
didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately, this
time also, the good looking middle
aged woman came under the bus and
died on the spot.
Again angry passengers took him to the
police station, who in turn took him to
the court. The judge took one look at
the conductor and gave him capital
punishment. The Bus conductor was
taken to the same electrocution
chamber where there was a single
chair in the center of the room and a
single banana peel at one corner of the
room. He was strapped to the chair
and high voltage current was given to
him. This time also, to everyone's
amazement, he survived. The judge
decided to set him free, and he
returned to his profession.
A couple of months later, an elderly
gentleman tried to board the bus.
This time the Bus conductor,
remembering his earlier experiences,
stopped the bus. Unfortunately the
elderly gentleman slipped and died
due to his
injuries. The conductor was taken to
the police station and then to the
court, to the same judge. Though he
hadn't done anything wrong, but
considering his past record the judge
decided to set an example and gave
him capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was again taken to
the same electrocution chamber where
there was a single chair in the center of
the room and a single banana peel at
one corner of the room. He was
strapped to the chair and high voltage
current was given to him.
This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on
the first two occasions, but died
instantly the third time??
Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather
interesting and answer is perfectly
logical. If necessary read the puzzle
once again.
Still couldn't? Then see below.........
Think hard
C'mon .............
Tired....?
Wanna know the answer????
Ok........ here is the Answer............
During the first two times, the
conductor was a Bad Conductor,
therefore electricity didn't pass through
him. But during the third time, he was
a good conductor, so electricity passed
through him freely and he died !!!!
Don't curse me!! I am also looking for
the guy who sent me this... and for the
Banana Peel, someone must have
removed it by now, don't
bother.. —y!!!

hadn't done anything wrong, but
considering his past record the judge
decided to set an example and gave
him capital punishment.
The Bus conductor was again taken to
the same electrocution chamber where
there was a single chair in the center of
the room and a single banana peel at
one corner of the room. He was
strapped to the chair and high voltage
current was given to him.
This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!
The question is why didn't he die on
the first two occasions, but died
instantly the third time??
Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather
interesting and answer is perfectly
logical. If necessary read the puzzle
once again.
Still couldn't? Then see below.........
Think hard
C'mon .............
Tired....?
Wanna know the answer????
Ok........ here is the Answer............
During the first two times, the
conductor was a Bad Conductor,
therefore electricity didn't pass through
him. But during the third time, he was
a good conductor, so electricity passed
through him freely and he died !!!!
Don't curse me!! I am also looking for
the guy who sent me this... and for the
Banana Peel, someone must have
removed it by now, don't
bother.. —

A bitter reality
Written by
An Indian Software Engineer "A Bitter
Reality"
As the dream of most parents I had
acquired a degree in Software
Engineering and joined a company
based in USA, the land of braves and
opportunity. When I arrived in the USA,
it was as if a dream had come true.
Here at last I was in the place where I
want to be. I decided I would be
staying in this country for about Five
years in which time I would have
earned enough money to settle down
in India.
My father was a government employee
and after his retirement, the only asset
he could acquire was a decent one
bedroom flat.
I wanted to do some thing more than
him. I started feeling homesick and
lonely as the time passed. I used to call
home and speak to my parents every
week using cheap international phone
cards. Two years passed, two years of
Burgers at McDonald's and
pizzas and discos and 2 years watching
the foreign exchange rate getting
happy whenever the Rupee value went
down.
Finally I decided to get married. Told
my parents that I have only 10 days of
holidays and everything must be done
within these 10 days. I got my ticket
booked in the cheapest flight. Was
jubilant and was actually enjoying
hopping for gifts for all my friends back
home. If I miss anyone then there will
be talks. After reaching home I spent
home one week going through all the
photographs of girls and as the time
was getting shorter I was forced to
select one candidate.
In-laws told me, to my surprise, that I
would have to get married in 2-3 days,
as I will not get anymore holidays.
After the marriage, it was time to
return to USA, after giving some money
to my parents and telling the neighbors
to look after them, we returned to USA.
My wife enjoyed this country for about
two months and then she started
feeling lonely. The frequency of calling
India increased to twice in a week
sometimes 3 times a week. Our
savings started diminishing.
After two more years we started to
have kids. Two lovely kids, a boy and a
girl, were gifted to us by the almighty.
Every time I spoke to my parents, they
asked me to come to India so that they
can see their grand-children.
Every year I decide to go to India… But
part work part monetary conditions
prevented it. Years went by and visiting
India was a distant dream. Then
suddenly one day I got a
message that my parents were
seriously sick. I tried but I couldn't get
any holidays and thus could not go to
India ... The next message I got was my
parents had passed away and as there
was no one to do the last rights the
society members had done whatever
they could. I was depressed. My
parents had passed away without
seeing their grand children.
After couple more years passed away,
much to my children's dislike and my
wife's joy we returned to India to settle
down. I started to look for a suitable
property, but to my dismay my savings
were short and the property prices had
gone up during all these years. I had to
return to the USA...
My wife refused to come back with me
and my children refused to stay in
India... My 2 children and I returned to
USA after promising my wife I would
be back for good after two years.
Time passed by, my daughter decided
to get married to an American and my
son was happy living in USA... I decided
that had enough and wound-up every
thing and returned to India... I had just
enough money to buy a decent 02
bedroom flat in a
well-developed locality.
Now I am 60 years old and the only
time I go out of the flat is for the
routine visit to the nearby temple. My
faithful wife has also left me and gone
to the holy abode.
Sometimes
I wondered was it worth all this?
My father, even after staying in India,
Had a house to his name and I too
have the same nothing more.
I lost my parents and children for just
ONE EXTRA BEDROOM.
Looking out from the window I see a
lot of children dancing. This damned
cable TV has spoiled our new
generation and these children are
losing their values and culture because
of it. I get occasional cards from my
children asking I am alright. Well
at least they remember me.
Now perhaps after I die it will be the
neighbors again who will be
performing my last rights, God Bless
them.
But the question still remains 'was all
this worth it?'
I am still searching for an
answer.................!!!
START THINKING
IS IT JUST FOR ONE EXTRA
BEDROOM???
LIFE IS BEYOND THIS …..DON'T JUST
LEAVE YOUR LIFE ……..
START LIVING IT …….
LIVE IT AS YOU WANT IT TO BE …

A Lesson In Psychology
¤ When A Person Sleeps A lot, Be Sure that Person Is Lonely.
¤ When A Person Talks Less, And If He Talks, He Talks Fast Then It Means That Person Keeps Secrets.

Body temperature is an important indicator of our health.
1.Your body is a great thermo regulator.
Our body has an amazing ability to keep its temperature within safe range to keep you healthy, no matter what conditions you are exposed to outside the body. When you feel hot, you start sweating, which cools you body down. When you feel cold, you start shivering, which is involuntary muscle contractions that generate heat. Goose bumps that appear on skin when you are feeling cold are actually tiny muscles that raise body hairs, which increase their thickness.
2. Normal body temperature
It is commonly accepted that normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees F or 37 degrees C. However, there is also a number of variations to normal body temperature that depend on many factors, such as the time of the day, outside temperature, age of the person and others. Temperature may vary by 1 degrees F (0.6 degrees C), from 97 degrees F (36.1 degrees C) to 99 degrees F (37.2 degrees C), which is considered within normal range.
3. The body temperature varies throughout the day
Body temperature undergoes minor changes throughout the day. It is the lowest in the morning, between 4 and 6 a.m. And highest in the evening, around 6 to 8 p.m. Temperature also changes during sleep. Usually it starts to drop when we fall asleep, ensuring sound sleep and needed rest.
4. Rectal temperature – most accurate
Body temperature is measured with the help of different types of thermometers in various parts of the body. Temperature taken in your mouth may be influenced by many factors and is usually lower, while rectal and ear measurements are slightly higher than oral temperature readings. Temperature taken in your armpit may me the least accurate since it may not directly indicate core temperature. The most accurate way to measure body temperature is to take temperature rectally.
5. Fever is good for you
Many of us are scared of fever and try to reduce fever with medications. However, fever is not an illness, but the body's defense mechanism that fights infections and is basically harmless. Fever slows the growth of pathogenic bacteria and activates white blood cells to fight infection. Fever may range between 100 degrees to 104 degrees F and higher (37.8 degrees – 40 degrees C), but not all of them need to be treated with medications. The general rule of thumb is that fever medicines are necessary when it causes you or your child discomfort or there are other dangerous signs such as trouble breathing or pain.

Tender Coconut
Coconut water can be used (in
emergencies) as a substitute for blood
plasma.
The reason for this is that coconut
water (thewater
found in coconuts – not to be
confused with
coconut milk, which comes from the
flesh of the
coconut) is sterile and has an ideal pH
level. Coconut
water is liquid endosperm – it
surrounds the
embryo and provides nutrition.

Reflexology
Why Reflexology?
When we don't handle stress well, the
body's defenses breakdown and we
become more susceptible to illness.
Stress and tension tighten up the
cardiovascular system and restrict
blood flow. By reducing stress and
tension, Reflexology allows the
cardiovascular vessels to conduct the
flow of blood naturally and easily.
Nervous people pace back and forth;
wring their hands; rub hands together;
bite their nails and some even handle
worry beads and/or rocks.
Unknowingly they are relieving
tensions by working the reflexes.
Reflexology is a systematic method of
removing stress which aids in the
maintenance of optimal health.
What is a treatment like?
You will lie on your back on a reclining
chair, face up, with your shoes and
socks removed. You will be made
comfortable while listening to soft
music. Aromatherapy may be diffused
in the room to aid relaxation and
increase your senses. Both patient and
reflexologist must be positioned
comfortably to ensure maximum
relaxation. A reflexologist will generally
work on the bare feet, but if this is not
possible, the treatment can be given
on the hands.

Good morning
One lesson we must all learn in our
lives is that things can always change.
Sure, we will always remember how
things used to be, and we will
sometimes lose sight of our future
because we want to turn around and
re-live moments from our past, but
there must come a time in which we
accept that things have changed. One
thing that we must all note in life is that
we cannot undo the parts of our lives
that have changed, and that may cause
us to regret now.
We can't always go back and undo the
pain that we have caused others and
ourselves, we cannot always mend the
hearts that we break back together.
What we can do though, is make an
effort to live the best life that we
possibly can, and to vow to always be
better, and to do better than we ever
did in the past. Your past is your past,
and no matter what you do you cannot
change it, but you can create a better
future as long as you give effort within
every waking moment of your
life.

Love
Loving someone don't need any
reason; it doesn't matter having the
age gaps, on how you look like, or the
way you move or speak, and on what
other people say...
What matters is.. how you LOVE each
other, how you NEED each other and
how HAPPY you are when you're
together.
That's love - no reason at all, no
definition, and definitely
unending..♥♥
Good morning
An experienced & wise master grew
tired of his apprentice complaining.
One morning he sent the apprenticefor
some salt.
When the apprentice returned, the
master instructed the unhappy young
man to put a handful of salt in a glass
of water and drink it.
"How does it taste?" the master asked.
"Bitter," spit the apprentice.
The master chuckled and then asked
the young man to put a handful of Salt
in the lake nearby.
The two walked to the nearby lake.
After the apprentice swirled his
Handful of salt into the water, the old
man said, "Now drink from the lake.."
As the water dripped down the young
man's chin, the master asked, "Now
How does this taste?"
"Fresh & Sweet" remarked the
apprentice.
"Do you taste the salt?" asked the
master.
"No," said the young man.
At this, the master sat beside the
young man who so reminded him of
Himself at one time and held his
hands.
He told the young man, "The pain of
life is pure salt; no more, no less.
The amount of pain in life remains
exactly the same. However, the
amount of bitterness we taste depends
on the container we put the pain in.
So when you are in pain, the only thing
you can do is to enlarge your sense of
things . . .
"Stop being a glass. Become a lake."

பெண்களும், மன அழுத்தமும்.....
ஒரு பெண்ணை சதாகாலமும் கணவனோ அல்லது சார்ந்திருக்கும் எவரோ திட்டிக்கொண்டே இருந்தால் என்ன நிகழும் ?. அவள் மிக மிகக் கொடிய மன அழுத்த நோய்க்குள் விழுவாள் என்கின்றது சமீபத்திய ஆய்வு ஒன்று.
மன அழுத்த நோயால் பாதிக்கப்படுபவர்களில் எழுபத்து ஐந்து விழுக்காடு மக்கள் பெண்கள் என்பது வெறுமனே புள்ளி விவரங்களைப் பார்த்து கடந்து செல்வதற்கானது அல்ல. அது நமது சமூகத்தின் மீதும், நமது கலாச்சாரக் கட்டமைப்புகளின் மீது கேள்விகளை எழுப்புவதற்கானது.
சமூகக் கட்டமைப்புகள் இன்னும் பெண்ணை முழுமையாய் அவளுடைய கோபத்தை வெளிக்காட்ட அனுமதிக்கவில்லை என்பதே உண்மை. அப்படி தனக்குள்ளேயே அடக்கப்படும் கோபம் மன அழுத்தத்தின் அடிப்படைக் காரணியாகி விடுகிறது.
ஒரு ஆண் தனது மன அழுத்தத்தை கோபத்தின் மூலமாகவோ, அல்லது தனக்கு விருப்பமான ஏதோ ஒரு வழியில் வெளியேற்றி விடுகின்றான். பெண்களுக்கு அத்தகைய வாய்ப்பு மிகக் குறைவாகவே வழங்கப்படுகிறது.
அவள் பெண் என்று கற்காலச் சமூகம் கட்டி வைத்த கோட்டைகளைத் தாண்ட முடியாமல், அதே அட்டவணைக்குள் தான் வாழ வேண்டி இருக்கிறது. இத்தகைய வரையறைகளைத் தாண்டும் போது ஆண்களால் தாங்கிக் கொள்ள முடிவதில்லை. இதுவும் சமீப காலமாக அதிகரித்து வரும் மண முறிவுக்கு ஒரு முக்கியக் காரணம் என்கிறார் சென்னையைச் சேர்ந்த மனநோய் மருத்துவர் ஒருவர்.
தனக்குள்ளேயே வெடித்துத் தன்னை அழிக்கும் மனக் கண்ணி வெடி ஒரு ரகமான மன அழுத்தத்தைப் பெண்களுக்குத் தருகிறது என்றால், தொழில் அழுத்தம், பணி சுமை, சுதந்திரமின்மை என பல செயல்கள் வெளியிலிருந்து தாக்குகின்றன.
பெண்களின் மன அழுத்தத்திற்கு உடலியல் ரீதியாகவும் காரணங்களும் பல உள்ளன. பெண்களுடைய ஹார்மோன்களின் சமநிலை ஆண்களைப் போல இருப்பதில்லை, வெகு விரைவிலேயே அதிக மாற்றத்தை அது சந்திக்கிறது. இயற்கை பெண்ணுக்கு அளித்திருக்கும் மாதவிலக்கு சுழற்சிகள் இதன் முக்கிய காரணமாய் இருக்கின்றன.
தான் பெண்ணாய் பிறந்து விட்டோமே எனும் சுய பச்சாதாபம் பல பெண்களுடைய வாழ்க்கையில் மன அழுத்தத்தைக் கொண்டு வருகின்றதாம். அதற்குக் காரணம் சமூகத்தில் ஒரு ஆணுக்குக் கிடைத்திருக்கும் அங்கீகாரமும், சுதந்திரமும் பெண்ணுக்குத் தரப்படவில்லை என்பதும், அதை எடுக்க முயலும்போது அவள் முரட்டுத் தனமான கருத்துக்களால் முடக்கப்படுகிறாள் என்பதுமே.
நேரடியான மன அழுத்தம் பெரும்பாலும் மனம் சம்பந்தப்பட்டது. நம் மீது திணிக்கப்படுபவையோ, நம்மால் உருவாக்கப்படுபவையோ உள்ளுக்குள் உருவாக்கும் அழுத்தம் அது.
மகிழ்ச்சியாய் இருக்க முடியாத மன நிலை இத்தகைய மன அழுத்தத்தின் ஒரு முகம். ஆனந்தமாய் சுற்றுலா செல்லலாம் என அழைத்தாலும் சலனமில்லாமல் பதிலளிக்கும் மனம் அழுத்தத்தின் படிகளில் அமர்ந்திருக்கிறது என்பதை உணர வேண்டும்.
மறை முகமாய் தாக்கும் மன அழுத்தம் உடல் வலிகளின் காரணமாக வரக் கூடும் என்கின்றனர் மருத்துவர்கள். குறிப்பாக முதுகுவலி, கழுத்துவலி, வயிற்று வலி என வரும் வலிகள் இரவுத் தூக்கத்தைக் கெடுக்கின்றன. நிம்மதியற்ற சூழலையும், பல உபாதைகளையும் தந்து கூடவே மன அழுத்தத்துக்கும் விதையிடுகின்றன.
பெண்களுக்கு இத்தகைய மன அழுத்தம் வருவதற்கு அவர்களுடைய உடல் பலவீனமும் ஒரு முக்கிய காரணமாகி விடுகிறது.
ஒன்று மட்டும் நினைவில் கொள்ள வேண்டியது அவசியம். எந்த ஒரு மன அழுத்தத்தையும் எந்த ஒரு மருந்தும் முழுமையாய் குணமாக்கி விட முடியாது.
நம்மைச் சார்ந்து வாழும் சகோதரிகளின் மன அழுத்தத்திற்கான விதை நம் வார்த்தைகளிலிருந்தோ, செயல்களிலிருந்தோ விழுந்து விடாமல் கவனமாய் இருப்பது ஆண்களின் கடமை.
பெண்களும் சமூகம் என்பது ஆண்கள் மட்டுமான அமைப்பல்ல என்பதை புரிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டும். காற்றடித்தால் மூடிக் கொள்ளும் தொட்டாச்சிணுங்கி மனப்பான்மையிலிருந்து தைரியமாக சமூகத்தின் வீதிகளில் பழமை வாதிகளின் எதிர்ப்புகளுக்குப் பலியாகாமல் நிமிர்ந்து நிற்க வேண்டும்.
புரிதலும், அன்பு புரிதலும் கொண்ட, தேவையற்ற அழுத்தளுக்கு இடம் தராத, சின்ன சுவர்க்கங்களாக குடும்பங்கள் விளங்கினால், மன அழுத்தம் விடைபெற்றோடும் என்பதில் ஐயமேதும் இல்லை.
மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைப்பதற்கான சில எளிய வழிமுறைகள்!
இன்றைய அவசர உலகத்தில், இயந்திரத்தனமாக இயங்கிக் கொண்டிருக்கும் மனிதர்கள் மத்தியில், மன அழுத்தம் என்பது சாதாரண விடயமாகிக் கொண்டு வருகிறது. நமது தேகத்தின் நிலை (posture), பழக்க வழக்கங்கள் (habits), எண்ணங்கள் (thoughts), நடத்தை (behavior) போன்றவற்றில் ஏற்படுத்தும் மாற்றங்களால் மன அழுத்தத்தை தொடர்ந்து நீண்ட காலத்தில் குறைக்க முடியும். இங்கே மன அழுத்தத்தை விரைவாக குறைப்பதற்கான எட்டு எளிய முறைகள் தரப்பட்டு இருக்கின்றன.
1. கோபத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்துதல்..
அற்பமான, முக்கியத்துவமில்லாத, மிகச் சாதாரணமான விடயத்தையிட்டு சில சமயம் நமக்கு கோபம் வருவதுண்டு. அந்த கோபம் அவசியமற்றது என்பது புரிந்தே இருந்தாலும் நாம் அந்த கோபத்தை கட்டுப்படுத்தாமல் சில சமயங்களில் வெளிப்படுத்துகிறோம். அப்படி சந்தர்ப்பங்கள் ஏற்படும்போது, நாம் கோபப்பட்டு நமது சக்தியை விரயம் செய்யும் அளவுக்கு அந்த விடயம் தகுதியற்றது என்று மனதிற்கு உணரவைத்து, அந்த கோபத்தை வர விடாமல் தடுங்கள். சக்திவாய்ந்த, கோபத்தை அடக்கியாளும் முயற்சி மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைப்பதற்கு மிகச் சிறந்த, உண்மையான வழியாகும்.
2. சுவாசம்..
மெதுவாகவும், ஆழமாகவும் மூச்சை உள்ளிழுத்து விடுவது மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைக்கும். உங்களது மன அழுத்தம் அதிகரிக்கப்போகும் அடுத்த சந்தர்ப்பத்தில், மிக ஆழமாக மூன்று தடவைகள் மூச்சை உள்ளிழுத்து, மெதுவாக மூச்சை வெளியேற்றுங்கள். உங்களுக்கு சில நிமிடங்கள் கிடைக்குமாயின், இந்த சுவாசிக்கும் பயிற்சியை தியானம் போல் செய்து பாருங்கள்.
3. மெதுவாக பேசுங்கள்
மன அழுத்தம் ஏற்படும்போது, நாம் மிக விரைவாகவும், சத்தமாகவும் பேச ஆரம்பிக்கிறோம். உங்களுக்கு மன அழுத்தம் ஏற்படுவதுபோல் தோன்றினால், உடனே உங்கள் பேச்சை வழமையை விட மெதுவாக்கிக் கொள்ளுங்கள். அப்போது, நீங்கள் தெளிவாக சிந்திக்க ஆரம்பிப்பதுடன், மன அழுத்தத்தை தரும் அந்த சூழ்நிலையை நியாயமாகவும், கட்டுப்பாட்டுடனும் எதிர்கொள்ளத் தயாராவதை உணர்வீர்கள்.
4. நேரத்தை பயன்தரும் வகையில் கையாளுதல்
நீங்கள் ஒத்திப்போட்டு வரும் வேலைகளில் ஏதாவது ஒரு வேலையை தெரிவு செய்து உடனடியாக நடைமுறைப்படுத்துங்கள். உங்களை இழுத்தடித்து வந்த பொறுப்புக்களில் ஒன்றையேனும் நிறைவேற்றிய திருப்தி, உங்களுக்கு புதிய சக்தியையும் உற்சாகத்தையும் தருவதுடன், உங்கள் மன அழுத்தத்தை குறைக்கும்.
5. சுத்தமான காற்றை சுவாசியுங்கள்..
ஒவ்வொரு நாளும் சில நிமிடங்களேனும் வெளியே வந்து சுத்தமான காற்றை சுவாசியுங்கள்.
6. பசி, உலர்வை தவிருங்கள்..
நிறைய திரவ ஆகாரத்தை உட்கொள்வதனால் உலர்வை தவிர்ப்பதுடன், நேரத்துக்கு சிறிய அளவிலேனும் உணவருந்துவதன் மூலம் பசியைத் தவிருங்கள். பசியும், உலர் நிலையும் நீங்கள் உணர்வதற்கு முன்னரே ஒரு ஆக்கிரமிப்பு மனோநிலையையும், மனவிசாரம், கவலையையும் தூண்டும் சக்தி உள்ளவையாக கருதப்படுகிறது.
7. தேகநிலை சோதிப்பு (quick posture check)
இடையிடையே விரைவான ஒரு தேகநிலை சோதிப்பை மேற்கொள்ளுங்கள். தலையையும், தோள்களையும் நேராக நிலை நிறுத்தி, வளைந்திருக்கும், மந்தமான நிலையை தவிருங்கள். வளைந்த நிலையில் தசைகளில் ஏற்படும் இழுவிசை அல்லது இறுக்கமானது மன அழுத்தத்தை கூட்டுகிறது.
8. நாளின் முடிவில் உற்சாகமேற்படுத்தல்..
ஒவ்வொரு நாளின் முடிவிலும், உங்களுக்கு உற்சாகம் தரக்கூடிய எதையாவது ஒன்றையாவது, சில நிமிடங்களாவது செய்யுங்கள். எல்லா சிந்தனைகளையும் ஒதுக்கி வைத்து விட்டு, சில நிமிட நேர ஓய்வான குளியல், அல்லது அரை மணி நேர அமைதியான வாசிப்பு, அல்லது கண்ணை மூடியபடி சில நிமிடங்களேனும் அமைதியாக இசையை ரசித்தல்... இப்படி எதையாவது செய்யுங்கள். அந்த நேரத்தில் மறுநாள் செய்ய வேண்டிய வேலைகளையோ, அல்லது அன்று நடந்து முடிந்த விடயங்களைப் பற்றியோ யோசிக்காதீர்கள். உங்கள் வேலை பற்றியோ, வீட்டில் செய்ய இருக்கும் வேலைகள் பற்றியோ, குடும்ப பிரச்சனைகள் பற்றியோ, எதைப் பற்றியுமே அந்த சில நிமிடங்களாவது நினைப்பதை தவிர்த்து விடுங்கள்.
அப்படி செய்வீர்களேயானால், அழுத்தம் நிறைந்த அடுத்த நாளைச் சந்திக்க உற்சாகமாக தயாராகி விடுவீர்கள்
