What's On Your Lips?


Photo:NOT FOR INSPIRATION



You are always advised to keep distance with cigarettes. They can never do you good
Say no to smoking, if you want to live a normal healthy life free from diseases. Why not take a bold decision NOW and quit smoking ...
Is there any adventure or fun in smoking? Absolutely not! Don't be fooled by the fun packed advertisements of the cigarette making companies.
Quitting smoking is not easy, but it can be done. To have the best chance of quitting successfully, you need to learn more about your enemy.

New Musing on Music


Music Aids Learning
THIS SHOULD BE SWEET MUSIC TO A MUSICIAN'S EARS
-----------------------------------------------

LONDON - Learning to play a musical instrument could help to improve children's reading and their ability to listen in noisy classrooms, according to new research.

Neuroscientists have found that musicians benefit from heightened brain activity that allows them to process information from their eyes and ears more efficiently than non-musicians.

They found that the part of the brain that interprets sound, known as the auditory cortex, responds faster in people with musical training and is better primed to pick out subtle patterns from the huge volumes of information that flood into the brain from our senses.

Professor Nina Kraus, a neuroscientist and amateur musician at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, has also found that this part of the brain plays a crucial role in reading.

Speaking at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego on Saturday, she called for music to become a more important part of school syllabuses to help children develop better reading and language skills.

She explained: "There is a strong argument for more musical education, especially in schools. Our eyes and ears take in millions of bits of information every second and it is not possible for the brain to process all of that, so the sensory systems in our brains are primed to tune into regularities or patterns in the signals it receives."

She added: "People who are musically trained are better at picking up these patterns because they learn to recognise notes and pitches within melodies and harmonies.The better you are at picking up these patterns in music, the better reader you are. This makes sense as letters and words on a page are really just patterns."

Professor Kraus and her team have used a method known as electroencephalography, which measures electrical activity in the brain, to examine how musicians and non-musicians brains respond to different stimulus.

She found that people who are better at picking out harmonies and timing in sounds are also better at reading.

Preliminary findings, which are still to be published, have also shown that musicians are better at reading. She is currently conducting a major study of children in schools in Chicago to test whether musical training can improve their reading skills.

She has also shown that musicians are better at picking out speech in noisy environments such as restaurants and classrooms because their brains are primed to distinguish notes within melodies and harmonies.THE DAILY TELEGRAPH

The Hunger Site


About 24,000 people die every day from hunger or hunger-related causes. This is down from 35,000 ten years ago, and 41,000 twenty years ago. Three-fourths of the deaths are children under the age of five. The Hunger Project, United Nations
The Hunger Site was founded to focus the power of the Internet on a specific humanitarian need: the eradication of world hunger. Since its launch in June 1999, the site has established itself as a leader in online activism, helping to feed the world's hungry. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the yellow "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. To date, more than 300 million visitors have given more than 671 million cups of staple food.

'Discover The 90/10 principle' by Stephen Covey.

The 90/10 Principle
Author : Stephen Covey ( Management Guru)

Have you read this before? Discover the 90/10 Principle. It will change your life
(at least the way you react to situations). What is this principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react. What does this mean?

We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%. The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%.

How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light., but you can control your reaction. Don't let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let's use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your

daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just what happened. What happens when the next will be determined by how you react.You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for

knocking the cup over.

She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave

immediately for work.

You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit. After a 15-minute delay and

throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse. You look forward to coming home, When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your

spouse and daughter.

Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?


A) Did the coffee cause it?

B) Did your daughter cause it?

C) Did the policeman cause it?

D) Did you cause it?



The answer is " D".



You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day. Here is what could have and should have happened.

Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, "It's ok honey, you just need, to be more careful next time". Grabbing a towel you rush

upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both

ended different.

Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

Here are some ways to apply the 90/10 principle. If someone says something negative about you, don't be a sponge. Let the attack roll off like water on glass. You don't have to let the negative comment affect you! React properly and it will not ruin your day. A wrong reaction could result in losing a friend, being fired, getting stressed out etc.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off)

Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take out your frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse. Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it.

The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle.

The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle.



It CAN change your life!!!

Dear,

I am not using your name because I want to do what I can to protect your privacy. I love you. I always have and always will. Nothing you or anyone else does can ever change that. Nothing would make me happier than having you decide to get back in touch. No apologies or explanation are ever necessary. There are no conditions. Just give me a scrap or type me a chat and say hi. The door is always open. It would be nice if you would even just let me send you letters and postcards. I'd be happy to promise not to discuss the accusations if that is your wish. you are a wonderful person. You have brought great happiness ..

Love always,
Yours sandeep

My posts are usually thematic. But let's take a different route today.

In this,I decided to mix it up a bit. Each collection of quotes has a unique flavor.
If you have wild ideas, passionate dreams, and boundless enthusiasm, you might sometimes be labeled "crazy." But if that is what crazy is, then we should all have some amount of craziness in us.

Kiss [J-Entercom]



This piece of video describes the characteristics of love. These qualities can be found in all truly loving relationships. The problem is actually with trying to search love in our daily lives. It is often found that most of us don’t look for these qualities in a person. Instead, we look at physical appearance, wealth and fame.

Write Naked..

The following post was written last night January 6, 2010. I thought a while before posting it. I asked myself, why ? Why share this? The answer is that this blog is about the process of writing. The pitfalls, obstacles, what works and what doesn't–for me. I hesitated in posting because of the subject matter, but the subject matter isn't what is so important here. What is important is that I sat down and just wrote something, something spontaneous, something ... its from a piece 'Write Naked'-Hanna R Goodman.I just like its preface, it goes like ..
'Write Naked' is written by author Hannah R. Goodman. Her musings on the writing process and the teaching of writing will inspire readers to pick up their pens (key boards) and get started on their very own Great American Novel (or Blog!).

I also think that the inspiration in this piece is significant–another book, reading someone else's writing stirred something within me that made me want to write, and, there lies the power of reading. Reading.. Reading.. Reading..

I Love Your Smile



Suppose there are twelve universal dreams; twelve basic dreams that we all have whether or not we're willing to admit it. the worst is the one when all your teeth fall out

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it. ~Andy Rooney

Education Perspectives




The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act was passed by the India parliament on 4 August 2009 which describes the modalities of the provision of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India

The bill makes education a fundamental right of every child between the ages of 6 to 14 and specifies the minimum norms in government schools. It specifies reservation of 25% seats in private schools for children from poor families, prohibits the practice of unrecognized schools, and makes provisions for no donation or capitation and no interview of the child or parent for the admission.The Bill has been criticized for failing to maintain a uniform equitable standard of quality for all schools and for excluding children under 6 years of age.

~New Year Musing~


2009 was an eventful year with a serious impact on how we think about ourselves and the world. Preparing for our own values. What are these values, how do we come to acquire them and why do we follow them? All the issues were captured in one simple question: How do I convince my father to tell the truth? Yes, how? Its all the 'relationship' works there ,some values


I reflected some values, grouping them under three :

1. Personal Values: Personality, Honesty, Integrity;

2. Social Values: Tolerance, Benevolence, Free Exchange (Paisa..hehe);

3. Political Values: Liberty, Rule of Law, Subsidiarity.(Fake)


How do we come to believe in them and practice them? I can’t really decipher among all the varied influences over the whole period of 2009. Some of the worst corporate malpractice, fraud and theft we have seen recently reflects this lack of values. The latest example is of Satyam.

May the New Year give us the time and courage to reflect on our basic values: Think, Speak, and Act.

happy new year
