Everyone has a Story in Life
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity,
suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?”
The old man smiled and said…
“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.

Think Big
Rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, image big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you'll start feeling big. Be a believer and you'll be an achiever.

Think First
Every action has an equal
and opposite reaction. Whatever I do, when all is said and done, I do for or to
myself. Perhaps I should think before I perform actions because after the seed
of action is sown I have to reap the fruit. Moreover, I do not receive only one
fruit for every seed sown, I often get a whole crop, good or bad according to
the action or seed.
A Kinder Gentler Approach
Trying to change or influence other people can be a thankless,
exhausting task - after all, few of us like to be told by others what
we should do. With a sense of humility and an open heart, however, we
can find the best way to connect with others. So, if you would like
others to adopt a kinder, gentler approach towards you - in the hope
that this will take some of the stress out of your life - adopt a
kinder, gentler approach to others. If you are just talking about
things they fall apart. The best way for people to learn is through
example.

The Negative Shade Of Respect In Relationships
Many a times in offices, we find the dominating boss who wants everyone in the
office to fear him or her. The boss may not necessarily be a person with a
negative personality, but this desire exists inside the boss because he or she
holds a negative belief that people fearing him is the same as respecting him
and respect is something that any boss would naturally yearn for. This can
happen in homes also, with a dominating father or a dominating mother doing the
same with the other members of the family.
The main reason why this happens is because the boss or the father or the mother is normally lacking in self-respect, although he or she is unaware of it. Due to this, he or she, without realizing again, is looking for it from others and in fact over a period of time, as the need builds up or increases, he or she will start demanding the same from others, which takes a form of the negative energy of fear in the relationship. The boss or the father or the mother starts feeling that the sign that he or she is successful in achieving in getting the respect he or she wants, would be the other fearing him or her. Simply getting someone's attention or the other being in awe of him or her or the other being under his or her negative influence which are all subtle forms of fear is then mistaken for being respected, and if he or she does not receive respect in this incorrect manner, he or she will even try and bring about the creation of respect in the other and try and pull it from the other using various methods which are violent in a subtle way, harming the relationship in a big way.
In tomorrow's message, we shall look at this type of relationship from the other's i.e. the employee's perspective or the perspective of the other people in the family in the case of the father or mother.

Attachment
The root of suffering is
attachment. You have created a space in your mind that holds a person or object
as part of you. When that person or object is criticized, neglected or not with
you, you feel pain in your mind and you experience a sense of loss. If you want
to be happy, you must learn to love and appreciate while remaining independent.
The Present Moment
You've had a huge argument
with a friend and you keep going over it in your mind but the more you think about it the worse you feel. By repeatedly going over feelings of unhappiness or anger in our minds which stem from incidents which have passed, we are hurting nobody but ourselves. Something might have happened to someone when they were six years
old and, when they remember, the feeling comes back. Even if in the present moment those problems are not there, the feeling is the same. It creates peacelessness in the mind. The mind is not able to understand what is happening in the present. So, if you find yourself becoming angry and negative about past incidents, try to let go by bringing your attention back to the present moment. Life is short, so why spend any of it focusing on things which have made you unhappy?
The Law of Expectation
In our relationships with others, it is good to want the best: "I hope you
do very well, I am sending you my positive energy and this is my way of
encouraging you and giving you courage. However, if you don't achieve what I
think you are capable of, I will not feel frustrated. I will not be dependent
on you satisfying my expectations, but I will always want the best for
you."
If you have faith and confidence that something will happen, it is a prophecy
that must come true. The expectations we have of someone, whether negative or
positive, do have an effect on the person we are relating to.
Many investigations into this question confirm the influence that the
expectations of educators have, both in the performance and in the behaviour of
their students. Everything points to the conclusion that the teacher's expectations
form one of the most influential factors in the academic performance of their
students. If a teacher expects good results from their students, their
performance will be much closer to their real capacity than if their teacher is
expecting poor results.

How to Keep Your Bones Strong
The base on which our whole body is
built is the skeleton, from which we get our stability, our ability to move and
function. Our bones are also a factory for manufacturing red and white blood
cells. It's extremely important to keep bones strong and healthy, especially in
more advanced ages, when calcium seems to drain away.
A little about bone depletion:
Bone depletion, or osteoporosis, is a disease that occurs as a result of dwindling bone mass and a decrease in the levels of calcium. Along our whole life, our bones are in a continuous process of construction and destruction. However, at a young age, there is more construction than destruction. Things even out as we grow older until, in our fourth decade, destruction finally overtakes construction. As a result, our bone density drops and our bones become more prone to fractures. When this process happens in an extreme way, it is known as bone depletion. It's important to note that losing calcium also makes the bones more sensitive, even if it happens slowly. At an older age, when our balance is not what it used to be, the danger only gets worse.

When this process happens in an extreme way, it is known as bone depletion. It's important to note that losing calcium also makes the bones more sensitive, even if it happens slowly. At an older age, when our balance is not what it used to be, the danger only gets worse.
Becuase women start with a bone density that is already about 30% less than
men's, and because they produce less estrogen as they grow older, they must
face a bigger risk when it comes to bone depletion.
What is the recommended calcium amount?The process of bone depletion in the body is a natural one and cannot be
prevented. But it can be minimized in volume and influence, by maintaining our
bones and building bone mass through correct nutrition.
The daily calcium amount recommended for the general population is 1000 mg a
day. For adults it is 1200-1500 mg a day. In addition, vitamin D is also
important, as it helps the calcium absorb in the body. So if you want to keep
your bones strong, you should also consume vitamin D rich foods. You can get it
from the sun or from food, but it's important to have.
10 Tips to Keep Our Bones Strong
1. Consume milk products - Every child knows that milk is rich in calcium and is essential for strengthening bones. This goes for all milk products, including cheese, yogurt and alike. If you don't like cow's milk, try soy milk enriched with calcium.

2. Add nuts to your diet - Although milk has the highest ratio of calcium to
volume, it is not the only source. Some nuts and seeds have handsome amounts of
calcium. A 30 gram course of almonds contains 75mg of calcium, 30 grams of
sesame seeds contains 37mg of calcium and sunflower seeds have 33mg of calcium.
3. Eat dark green vegetables - Broccoli, Chinese cabbage, arugula, parsley,
lettuce and others are excellent sources of calcium, and contain many
additional health advantages. This will help you to also diversify your sources
of calcium, which is important to maintain your health.
4. Take the right Vitamin A - Vitamin A appears in two forms. The first is
retinol, which appears in animal products, such as the liver. The second is
beta carotene and it is the way the vitamin comes from plants, especially
orange vegetables like carrot, squash or sweet potato. Studies have found that
consuming too much of retinol vitamin A raises the risk of bone fraction, while
vitamin A in its plant form, Beta Carotene, does not damage the bones.
5. Strengthen your bones with Vitamin K - This vitamin helps activate 3
essential proteins that are crucial for bone health. As in the case of calcium
that comes from green vegetables, vitamin K also comes from teh same sources.
Two daily helpings of green vegetables a day give the body as much as it needs.
6. Physical activity strengthens the bones - Sorry, you knew this was coming
and its of very little surprise. When we carry out a physical activity, we
create pressure on our skeleton. While it is bad to overdo it, a moderate
pressure is actually very health, as it sends the body signals to create more
bone cells, increase the density and make it stronger. Operate the body with
moderation, and don't go to far with it.
7. Eat fish - 100 grams of sardines
contain an amazing amount of over 400mg of calcium! It's recommended to consume
the fresh fish of course and not the canned variety. The little bones are also
edible and contain a lot of calcium. Sardines, like the salmon, are also a
great source of vitamin D.
8. Reduce your consumption of carbonated drinks and treats - The acid that
exists in some of the popular carbonated drinks raises the amount of acid in
the blood. To compensate, the body uses the body's minerals, including calcium.
If the calcium is not readily available in the blood, the body will take it
from the bones and this will hard the density and strength of the bone. There
is no problem drinking them once in a while, but if they are a daily habit then
you can do a lot of damage to your bones over time.
9. Avoidance measures - Like a lot of other health problems, we return to
smoking. Studies have shown that smoking harms bone density, as well as over
consumption of alcohol and caffeine.
10. Resource allocation - We must carry out our calcium consumption in a smart
way. Our body absorbs calcium best when it is no more than 500mg at one time.
So, if you are planning on consuming a large amount of calcium rich foods or
drinks, try to perhaps divide the meal or eat again later, to make sure the
body is able to absorb all you are giving it

Negative thoughts
How Negative Thoughts Damage Your Brain.? Fascinating Information about the Human Brain
The human brain is the single most complex thing in the known universe. Even in this time of medical wonders, we still have not been able to uncover the full secrets of this incredible organ. However, we do know some things about the most important organ in the body, and here are some interesting ones you should definitely know about:
The human brain is the single most complex thing in the known universe. Even in this time of medical wonders, we still have not been able to uncover the full secrets of this incredible organ. However, we do know some things about the most important organ in the body, and here are some interesting ones you should definitely know about:
1. The belief that humans only use 10% of their brains is incorrect. Each part of the brain has a specific function and the average person uses all the various parts of the brain.
2. Have you ever had such a headache it felt like your brain is going to explode? That's not actually your brain hurting, because the brain has no pain receptors at all. Mother nature assumes you don't need it because it's never exposed (thankfully) and is usually protected by our thick skull.
3.You must think that your buttocks are the fattiest part of the body, but it is in fact the brain with the most fat % in the body, about 60% of it is fat.
4. The brain has a texture similar to tofu, and enough liquid to fill a 2 liter (half a gallon) tank.
5. Thought creates 'pathways' that connect different parts of the brain. The more we repeat a thought, the more that pathway will become more central, wide and stable. That is why it is important not to think over and over about negative things, because they become permanent, and strong, pathways in your mind, and the chances are will force themselves on you more and more.
6. We think about 70,000 thoughts a day. A large part of these are 'automatic' thoughts that we repeat a lot, using our most 'established' thought pathways.
7. Most people dream about 4-7 dreams a night. 50% of those dreams are forgotten in the first minutes after waking. And the one we remember is usually one we were either just dreaming or a mix of all the dreams we had put together. No wonder they always seem so confusing.
8. Sleep is usually the time the brain uses to organize and put together the memories is accumulated throughout the day. And so, in many cases, before making big decisions it's better to 'sleep on it'.
9. The messages between the various brain cells (neurons) are passed in the form of weak electrical pulses. The brain creates 23 watt of electricity while awake, enough to light a lightbulb.

10. While we laugh, about 5 areas lit up in the brain simultaneously. So it's no laughing matter, laughing.
11. The reason tickling makes us laugh is that the brain becomes 'surprised' by this kind of touch, which is first interpreted as a threat. The uncontrollable laughter is actually a panic response by the body. That is why it's not possible to tickle ourselves.
12. The human brain has more 'wrinkles' and crevices than those of other animals. In this way, the brain gets more surface space, while staying at around the same size, and it is part of the reason for our increased intelligence.
13. Brain cells, or neurons, are not only found in the brain, but exist everywhere in the body the brain needs to send orders to, and all of them are connected to the brain.
14. Some archaeological findings think that our cranium has gotten smaller over the ages, but that doesn't mean our brain has become less powerful, only more efficient (see #12).

15. The brain alone uses 20% of all the oxygen we breathe and over 25% of the sugar we consume. Meaning, deep thoughts might cost the body resources just like sports can. Who said chess players are not athletes too?
16. The female and male sexual hormones cause a different brain to develop. Studies have found siginificant difference in the brain functions of male and female during social situations, decision making, pressure situations and more.
17. The brain isn't fully developed until the teen years are over. Multitasking, showing empathy and good decision making are some of the skills that develop a little later. This, we're sure you'll agree - explains A LOT.
18. The brain is constantly changing. Damage to one part of it may cause that part to change to a different location in the brain, especially if you are a baby or a child. Beyond that, every thought, experience or skill we encounter and learn changes the structure of our brain.
19. Memories aren't built in a linear progression. We only remember 'pictures' or moments, and we put together a story from them ourselves. That is why it's tricky to trust your memory, because you may have done some 'editing' without knowing it.

How Can Negative Thoughts Affect Me?
Negative thoughts can affect our health; even when dealing with physical injury, the concept of mind over matter is key to recovery.

Superb speech by RatanTata
Speech at Symbiosis, Pune
Don't just have career or academic goais;set goals to give you a
balanced,successful life.Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships,
mental peace are all in goodorder. There is no point of getting a promotion on
the day of your breakup. There is no fun in driving
a car if your back hurts. Shopping is not enjoyable
if your mind is full of tensions. Don't take life
seriously. Life is not meant to be taken seriously,
as we are really temporary here. We are like a
prepaid card with limited validity. If we are lucky,
we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just
2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so
worked up? …It's OK, Bunk few classes, score low
in couple of papers, take leave from work, fall in
love, fight a little with ur spouse... It's ok... We are
people, not programmed devices..! "Don't be
serious, enjoy Life as it comes"
