JUST 1 QUESTION

Its not a quiz. JUST 1 QUESTION.

You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night, when you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:

1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?

This is a moral/ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.

You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first;

Or you could take the old friend who once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect mate again.

NOW READ THIS: The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.
"I would give the car keys to my old friend and let to take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams."
Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to give up our stubborn thought limitations.


Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Power of our Thoughts.

Thoughts carry tremendous creative power.

Consciously or not, before every spoken word,

there is a thought.

In the same way, there is a thought proceeding every action.

Since thoughts shape our words and behaviors, they inevitably

shape our environment, relationships and destiny.

As part of our unique human power, our higher reasoning process

separates us from other species.

With our birth gifts of higher thoughts, inventions are made and

modern civilization becomes a reality.

Unfortunately, most of us do not utilize the power of thoughts effectively.

Instead of managing our thoughts positively and using them to create a

better reality, we have become powerless with our thoughts.



For example, how many of us catch ourselves daydreaming often and

allow our mind to wonder from places to places without much control?

On the other hand, how many of us try to control our lives ineffectively by

allowing repetitively negative thoughts to dominate our mind

such as worrying obsessively.

Without learning to master the power of our thoughts, no wonder

we feel anxious and depressed most of the time!

The power of our thoughts truly deserves our better attention

as the quality of our thoughts determines the quality of our life.



Negative thoughts create negative state of mind; therefore,

they produce negative actions following by negative results.

This sounds bad, doesn’t it? The good news is that in the same way,

high quality thoughts create high quality state of mind; therefore,

they produce positive actions and wonderful and positive results.

Isn’t this a great incentive for us to pay attention and learn to

monitor our thoughts carefully?

A good exercise is to start paying attention to the quality of our thoughts for a day.

Your job is to reject any negative or limited thoughts as soon as they surface.

Any “I can’t” or “too” judgments are out of the windows immediately.

You might be surprised by how many negative thoughts you think daily.

You might also discover that some of these thoughts are not even originally yours!

What a relief! When I first started this exercise, I noticed that there were

more negative thoughts than positive ones.

Most of the negative thoughts were not even valid.

Unfortunately, they had become part of my “thinking habits”.

Eventually,

I learned that the price I had paid for my habitual negative thoughts

were way too high as they robbed away my happiness and my ability

to create a good life.

Becoming conscious of the power of our thoughts is a necessity to improve

the quality of our lives. Starting today, pay good attention to your thought quality.

Use the power of your thoughts to create a good life because it is your birth right!

As each of us becomes more conscious and becomes the master of our mind,

we together can use our mind in creating more beauty,

joy and goodness in the world.

Improve your Brain

Everyone can take steps to improve their memory, and with time and practice most people can gain the ability to memorize seemingly impossible amounts of information. Whether you want to win the World Memory Championships, ace your history test, or simply remember where you put your keys, this article can get you started. Scientists believe that exercising your brain can create a ‘cognitive reserve' that will help you stay sharp as you age.

1. Convince yourself that you do have a good memory that will improve. Too many people get stuck here and convince themselves that their memory is bad, that they are just not good with names, that numbers just slip out of their minds for some reason. Erase those thoughts and vow to improve your memory. Commit yourself to the task and bask in your achievements — it's hard to keep motivated if you beat yourself down every time you make a little bit of progress.

2. Keep your brain active. The brain is not a muscle, but regularly “exercising” the brain actually does keep it growing and spurs the development of new nerve connections that can help improve memory. By developing new mental skills—especially complex ones such as learning a new language or learning to play a new musical instrument—and challenging your brain with puzzles and games you can keep your brain active and improve its physiological functioning.

3. Exercise daily. Regular aerobic exercise improves circulation and efficiency throughout the body, including in the brain, and can help ward off the memory loss that comes with aging. Exercise also makes you more alert and relaxed, and can thereby improve your memory uptake, allowing you to take better mental “pictures.”

4. Reduce stress. Chronic stress, although it does not physically damage the brain, can make remembering much more difficult. Even temporary stresses can make it more difficult to effectively focus on concepts and observe things. Try to relax, regularly practice yoga or other stretching exercises, and see a doctor if you have severe chronic stress.

5. Eat well and eat right. There are a lot of herbal supplements on the market that claim to improve memory, but none have yet been shown to be effective in clinical tests (although small studies have shown some promising results for ginkgo biloba and phosphatidylserine) . A healthy diet, however, contributes to a healthy brain, and foods containing antioxidants— broccoli, blueberries, spinach, and berries, for example—and Omega-3 fatty acids appear to promote healthy brain functioning. Feed your brain with such supplements as Thiamine, Vitamin E, Niacin and Vitamin B-6. Grazing, eating 5 or 6 small meals throughout the day instead of 3 large meals, also seems to improve mental functioning (including memory) by limiting dips in blood sugar, which may negatively affect the brain.

6. Take better pictures. Often we forget things not because our memory is bad, but rather because our observational skills need work. One common situation where this occurs (and which almost everyone can relate to) is meeting new people. Often we don't really learn people's names at first because we aren't really concentrating on remembering them. You'll find that if you make a conscious effort to remember such things, you'll do much better. One way to train yourself to be more observant is to look at an unfamiliar photograph for a few seconds and then turn the photograph over and describe or write down as many details as you can about the photograph. Try closing your eyes and picturing the photo in your mind. Use a new photograph each time you try this exercise, and with regular practice you will find you're able to remember more details with even shorter glimpses of the photos.

7. Give yourself time to form a memory. Memories are very fragile in the short-term, and distractions can make you quickly forget something as simple as a phone number. The key to avoid losing memories before you can even form them is to be able to focus on the thing to be remembered for a while without thinking about other things, so when you're trying to remember something, avoid distractions and complicated tasks for a few minutes.


8. Create vivid, memorable images. You remember information more easily if you can visualize it. If you want to associate a child with a book, try not to visualize the child reading the book – that's too simple and forgettable. Instead, come up with something more jarring, something that sticks, like the book chasing the child, or the child eating the book. It's your mind – make the images as shocking and emotional as possible to keep the associations strong.

9. Repeat things you need to learn. The more times you hear, see, or think about something, the more surely you'll remember it, right? It's a no-brainer. When you want to remember something, be it your new coworker's name or your best friend's birthday, repeat it, either out loud or silently. Try writing it down; think about it.

10. Group things you need to remember. Random lists of things (a shopping list, for example) can be especially difficult to remember. To make it easier, try categorizing the individual things from the list. If you can remember that, among other things, you wanted to buy four different kinds of vegetables, you'll find it easier to remember all four.

11. Organize your life. Keep items that you frequently need, such as keys and eyeglasses, in the same place every time. Use an electronic organizer or daily planner to keep track of appointments, due dates for bills, and other tasks. Keep phone numbers and addresses in an address book or enter them into your computer or cell phone. Improved organization can help free up your powers of concentration so that you can remember less routine things. Even if being organized doesn't improve your memory, you'll receive a lot of the same benefits (i.e. you won't have to search for your keys anymore).

12. Try meditation. Research now suggests that people who regularly practice “mindfulness” meditation are able to focus better and may have better memories. Mindfulness (also known as awareness or insight meditation) is the type commonly practiced in Western countries and is easy to learn. Studies at Massachusetts General Hospital show that regular meditation thickens the cerebral cortex in the brain by increasing the blood flow to that region. Some researchers believe this can enhance attention span, focus, and memory.

13. Sleep well. The amount of sleep we get affects the brain's ability to recall recently learned information. Getting a good night's sleep – a minimum of seven hours a night – may improve your short-term memory and long-term relational memory, according to recent studies conducted at the Harvard Medical School.

14. Build your memorization arsenal. Learn pegs, memory palaces, and the Dominic System. These techniques form the foundation for mnemonic techniques, and will visibly improve your memory.

15. Venture out and learn from your mistakes. Go ahead and take a stab at memorizing the first one hundred digits of pi, or, if you've done that already, the first one thousand. Memorize the monarchs of England through your memory palaces, or your grocery list through visualization. Through diligent effort you will eventually master the art of memorization.

Know Complete information before you do any work

You Should Know Complete information before you do any work (Walking on water)

Here is a Funny Example :

Three monks decided to practice meditation together. they sat by the side of a lake and closed their eyes in concentration. Then suddenly, the first one stood up and said, "I forgot my mat." He steeped miraculously onto the water in front of him and walked across the lake to their hut on the other side.

When he returned, the second monk stood up and said, "I forgot to put my underwear to dry." He too walked calmly across the water and returned the same way. The third monk watched the first two carefully in what he decided must be the test of his own abilities. "Is your learning so superior to mine? I too can match any feat you two can perform," he declared loudly and rushed to the water's edge to walk across it. He promptly fell into the deep water.
Undeterred, the Monk climbed out of the water and tried again, only to sink into the water. Yet again he climbed out and yet again he tried, each time sinking into the water. This went on for some time as the other two monks watched.
After a while, the second monk turned to the first and said, "Do you think we should tell him where the stones are?"

Ha ha ha :)

Some Tips To Help Develop Your Connection Between Mind And Heart

1. Be yourself
If I make a comment to someone - even though it was kindly and sincerely meant - and they get upset or take offense, is their upset my responsibility?
The answer is no.
You can genuinely love someone whilst nevertheless doing something they don't like or agree with.
You do it because you feel it is the right thing to do, though you still understand and have empathy for their different viewpoint (which causes their emotional reaction) which they have created by their own choices and belief system.
If one only did things others can easily accept then the status quo would never progress.
That would truly be a trap.
The solution here is better communication, leading to increased understanding of each other's viewpoint, and therefore acceptance of the differing personal realities.
There is a strong imprint in our culture to feel sad, guilty, etc. for painful emotions our actions may cause to others.
There's a general misconception that you are your emotions.
"I am angry" and "you make me angry".
This is conditioning not truth.
In terms of cause and effect, it's a viewpoint at effect.
Some say that to be happy, only do what others can easily experience - it's the same lie.
And if it isn't then you'd better re-think whether you are indeed doing the right thing.
It is one definition of a 'wrong' action: that which you would not like another to do to you.
You are responsible for your choices, decisions and actions.
For being true to your judgment.
For communicating with honesty and integrity, developing and maintaining an open mind, and promoting understanding and empathy.
For never compromising your freedoms and rights nor trampling on another's.
For always acting from the primary motivation of love.
That's all and quite enough.
Others are responsible, in the same way, for their own beliefs, interpretations, feelings, responses, and reactions; that's their right and their life - none of our business.

2. Decide what you want
Think of five things that are really important to you: they might include a nice house, loving supportive partner, the chance to travel, a good job, and so on.
Now look at your current life and see how it matches up.
These questions can help you pinpoint problem areas:

* What are you doing that you do indeed want to do?
* What are you doing that you don't want to be doing?
* What are you not doing that you do actually want to do?

In the light of this information, clarify your goals.

Be specific - before you can plan how to achieve a goal it needs to be stated in a way that is realistic, measurable and time-targeted.

Your action plan should be broken down into manageable chunks - the steps you know you can make that, one by one, will take you to where you want to go.
I believe that we do create our reality, the 'game of life' on this planet - everything has to be achieved through action, i.e. there is distance between cause and effect.
In practice this means we do best to 'manifest' spiritually (perceive our goal as already achieved and be grateful and 'allowing' for that) at the same time as we put our goals into directed action, so there is congruence between these two aspects of our being.
Also we need to make sure that our beliefs (at every level of the mind - conscious and subconscious) match up to our goals and our desires.
Mind, body and spirit working in harmony.
My work is all about encouraging individuals to discover the truth within themselves - their own inner knowing that is gradually exposed by their own increasing awareness, responsibility and acceptance.
When all distortions and filters are cleared, those subjective realities start to coincide with an objective reality, albeit on a wider dimensional basis than the 3-D world of materiality that scientific rationalism is normally limited to.

3. Don't worry
The shadow of love is fear.
To understand one's fears and anxieties better I have found it workable to determine what need corresponds to the fear, as fear and need tend to go together: they're opposite flows, like the fear of not obtaining one's needs, whether for survival, comfort, belonging, rightness, esteem, success, realization, and so on.
When you've identified the corresponding need, it's easier to see if that need makes sense.
Of course, you are worried if your child has got lost and you do all you can to resolve that situation.
But more often worry is a result of not wanting to own up to what you have done, or trying to predict and control other people's feelings, and especially trying to please another rather than just being content at having done what you feel is the right thing.
Unpredicted obstacles may occur so it is important to stay flexible and to think laterally.
The future isn't always predictable; instead of worrying about what the future holds, we need to learn to let go and trust in the Universe to reflect our intentions.
We cannot do better than our best.
We need to be open to new ideas and listen to our intuition to direct us to new solutions.
Life is a game - think of it like that and don't take anything too seriously.
Enjoy the challenges life offers!

4. Take control
Instead of feeling overwhelmed by a task, break it down into small segments that you know you can do and start on the first one.
If you have lots of incomplete jobs, list them in order of priority and tackle the most important job first.
This way you have a sense of achievement at each step - and you'll soon find yourself getting a whole lot more accomplished.
Production equals morale.
And if you're living or working in a mess, sort it out - a disordered environment is reflected in your mind.

5. What makes you happy?
Write down a list of things that make you excited, however big, small, likely or unlikely.
Then work to make them occur more often in your life.
And appreciate the good things you take for granted - your child's hug or a good book.
Look for moments of joy and savour them.
Recognize how many happen every day.
Feeling good can be a way of life, not just an occasional accident.

6. Smile!
Smiling triggers happy feelings in the brain and reduces stress.
Even if you don't feel happy or confident, just behave as though you do and soon you will.
Find the joy in your life and you'll be more attractive and nicer to be around, people will be nicer to you too - and you'll smile some more!
Joy is infectious but so is misery; therefore don't have anything whatever to do with people who dampen your spirits, invalidate your achievements or tell you what to think.

7. Get positive
Write down every negative thought you have over the course of a week, whether it's "My family don't appreciate me" or "I look dreadful."
Negativity is a habit and we often don't realize we're putting ourselves down.
Under each negative thought you've written, see if you can spot an alternative way of looking at it, that isn't so negative.
See if you've exaggerated the situation or overly generalized, or if you are being unnecessarily intolerant or perfectionist, or thinking in terms of pleasing others rather than yourself - the 'shoulds' and 'ought-tos'.
The objective world, our playing field of life, is dialectic by the nature of a game, full of beauty and ugliness, good and evil. But the subjective truth of things, the bird's-eye viewpoint, is ultimately always positive, causative and loving - as that is your essential nature.

8. Assert your rights
Think of things which you have a right to, e.g. "I have a right to an evening out with my friends from time to time."
Think of rights that every human being should have, such as, "I have the right not to be bullied."
Now, protect your rights with your life, and watch your integrity and self-esteem grow.

9. Give yourself some time
Be sure to put aside a little time every day for yourself - relax with a book, in the bath or sitting in the garden with the sun on your face.
Think of some things that make you happy - worrying solves nothing.
And at night time, go to bed early enough that you get enough sleep to feel your best the next day.

10. Communicate
If you have a problem, the thing to do is to communicate: find out the information you need to get the full picture, so that the solution becomes apparent.
If you're upset, you need to communicate and say how you feel.
If you've done something wrong, again you need to communicate this.
Spot where you're backing off from what you need to do or say, and as the saying goes, "feel the fear and do it anyway".
You'll be glad you did!

11. Nurture your relationships
Communication, understanding and empathy are the component parts of relationship, they're equally important.
Take time and trouble over your friends and your partner.
Listen and understand their opinions.
Value a different point of view equally as your own.
Don't make being right more important than a friendship.
People with a few close friends are more likely to be happy than those with many mere acquaintances.

12. Don't get put in a bag
Don't allow others to label or stereotype you - and don't do it to yourself either!
You may have some particular qualities, or have some sort of difficulty, but don't let that define you.
There's much more to your life than your race or gender, your sexuality, your psychological or medical problems, your political views, or any other such particulars.
Personal growth is all about finally jumping out of the box that you're hiding away in - you don't need any more limiting boxes to be stuck over your head!

13. Be creative
Making something come to life that you have envisioned - whether a painting, a wonderful meal, a dress, an invention, a business plan - is infinitely satisfying.
And you'll feel pleasure every time you think of it.
If you want to be happy, get active - at work, within the family and the community.
You will feel happier when you're participating in an activity, whether it's just playing with a child or helping organize a worthwhile event.
Self-esteem comes from demonstrated competence.
Everyone has skills but not everyone uses them.
So use your skills - find out what you're good at and do it.
Joy is often about living in the moment, being absorbed in what you're doing, not brooding on the past or guessing your future.
Decide what YOU really want and then go for it.
It can take courage but it's worth the risk.

14. Be Mindful
We need to be very much in touch with our heart, with our feelings, but still to remain intelligent about it - to remain in control, not driven by our emotions.
We need a balance of left and right brain - rational mind and emotional mind, logic and feelings, intellect and intuition.
This is where mindfulness and wisdom is found.
We tend to be too cut off from our feelings, in order to suppress painful ones - and this becomes a habit.
Academic education reinforces this imbalance.
And then we lose a lot of our creative and intuitional ability.
At the same time, however, when those emotions 'escape' we tend to be driven by them, and think and act impulsively.
