Happiness - 7

 

Do not expect others to behave in a way you want, so you will be happy. 

 

Release yourself forevermore and know that you alone control your happiness 

 

and it is a choice, no matter what anyone else is doing.

 

Love and respect yourself completely.

 

Know that you are perfect right now.

Fifty Years of Politness

 

An elderly couple celebrated their golden anniversary after fifty years of marriage.

While eating breakfast together, the woman thought, "For fifty years I've always been considerate to my husband and have always given him the crusty top of the breakfast roll. Today I want finally to enjoy this delicacy for myself"

She spread the top part with butter and gave the other part to her husband. Contrary to her expectations, he was very pleased, kissed her hand and said, "My darling, you've just given me the greatest joy of the day. For over fifty years I haven't eaten the bottom part of the roll, which is the part I like best. I always thought you should have it because you like it so much."

 

Perhaps, that was the secret of fifty happy years together: consideration for the other!

This could be the success secret of many more such couples.

Benefits of Waking Up Early..

 

Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy as well as wise. And that is not merely an age-old saying. It works in daily life too. Read on to know how. 1. Time to Exercise Waking up early gives you the time to exercise. You can easily go for a jog, do a few laps in the pool, practice yoga or hit the gym with plenty of time at hand. 2. Time to Meditate There is nothing like beginning the day with a dose of meditation. It will help calm your mind and sharpen your reflexes to keep you going through your busy schedule of work. 3. Experience the Charm of Early Morning Only an early morning person knows the charm and serenity that those hours offer. The silence, the birds chirping, the absence of cars honking, and the sunrise are all advantages only early rising can offer. 4. Increase Productivity and Efficiency A study conducted at the Texas University in 2008 revealed that early risers are more prone to be productive and efficient at work. In fact, students who wake up early are known to get higher grades than those who wake up late. 5. Eating Breakfast Breakfast is known to be the most important meal of the day. Often, you may land up skipping it if you are running late for work. An early start to the day ensures that this significant meal is never given the slip. 6. Less Stress Giving you ample time to get ready on time, waking up early ensures that you suffer less stress. Beat the traffic and drive to work at ease. 7. Set Routine Once you get into the habit of rising early, you are able to set a routine and that obviously leads to better productivity not only at work, but also on the home front and as an individual. 8. Brighter Mood Early risers are known to be happier and more optimistic than night owls. The latter are known to suffer depression, insomnia and pessimism. The bright start with exercise and optimism is bound to keep you feeling energised and optimistic all day. 9. Better Health Proper routine and exercise are known factors in ensuring better health in the long run. Waking up early ensures you set aside time to work out. Late risers lack the advantage of time for this. 10. Better Finances Improved health, enhanced productivity and ameliorated energy can only result in one thing â€" a higher rate of success. And when this happens in your career, can financial triumph be far behind? So, rise early to kickstart a really great way of doing well in the professional sphere as well. The benefits of waking up early are myriad. It doesn’t take much to change your lifestyle to avail these benefits. After all, personal and professional well-being, and ultimate success are what everyone seeks. So, why not adopt a healthier way of living and reap those benefits?

Thoughts As Energy

---

Thoughts As Energy   Just as the physical atmosphere is the result of climatic conditions and air quality, there is a subtle (non-physical) atmosphere which cannot be seen, heard or measured but can be experienced and influenced by the mind and analyzed by the intellect. It is variously described as the "prevailing mood", the "vibration" and so on. What is the cause of this non-physical atmosphere, these "vibrations?"     Thought has been proven to be a powerful yet non-physical "energy", which can influence other souls and matter. Thoughts, emotions,  desires and moods generate a "field" around the soul (just like an electric field), which can be called positive, negative or neutral,  depending on the quality of its effect on other souls and on matter.   When a large number of souls are all experiencing positive thoughts, feelings and emotions, then the atmosphere becomes "charged" with positivity. When they are experiencing negative emotions, the opposite happens.    Each one of us has excellent mental energy (can create beautiful thoughts); please use it in a positive manner and enjoy the GOD gifted beautiful life and live happily.

Car A/C and CANCER

 

Car A/C and CANCER

 

Now this is very interesting! Car manuals states to roll down the windows to let out all the hot air before turning on the A/C. WHY ?   No wonder more folks are dying from cancer than ever before.  We wonder where this stuff comes from but here is an example that explains a lot of the cancer causing incidents.   Many people are in their cars the first thing in the morning, and the last thing at night, 7 days a week.     Car A/C (Air Conditioning)  Please do NOT turn on A/C as soon as you enter the car.   Open the windows after you enter your car, and then turn ON the AC after a couple of minutes.   Here's why: According to research, the car's dashboard, seats, a/c ducts in fact ALL of the plastic objects in your vehicle, emit Benzene, a Cancer causing toxin. A BIG CARCINOGEN. Take the time to observe the smell of heated plastic in your car, when you open it, and BEFORE you start it up. In addition to causing cancer, Benzene poisons your bones, causes anemia and reduces white blood cells. Prolonged exposure will cause Leukemia and increases the risk of some cancers. It can also cause miscarriages in pregnant females.   Acceptable Benzene level indoors is: 50 mg per sq.ft. A car parked indoors, with windows closed, contain 400-800 mg of Benzene.   If parked outdoors, under the sun, at a temperature above 60 degrees F, the Benzene level goes up to 2000-4000 mg, 40 times the acceptable level. People who get into the car, keeping the windows closed, will inevitably inhale, in quick succession, excessive amounts of the BENZENE toxin.   Benzene is a toxin that affects your kidneys and liver. What's worse, it is extremely difficult for your body to expel this toxic stuff from your body.   So friends, please open the windows and door of your car - give it some time for the interior to air out -(dispel the deadly stuff) - before you enter the vehicle.     It is not the Air Conditioning in the car but the Benzene producing agents that cause cancer.

Historical and iconic photos of Indian Railways  look at the platforms and stations shown here.... how spotlessly clean and well maintained they were. A completely different era, and a totally different world.   Railways were first introduced to India in 1853. By 1947, the year of India's independence, there were 42 rail systems. In 1951 the systems were nationalised as one unit, the Indian Railways, becoming one of the largest networks in the world. Indian Railways operates both long distance and suburban rail systems on a multi-gauge network of broad, metre and narrow gauges. It also owns locomotive and coach production facilities. Let's have a look at some historical and iconic photos of the railway network. First Great Indian Peninsula Railway EMU. Inauguration of electric traction by the GIPR, 1925.
