do u know

FACT: Did you know that the number of patterns of connections of your nerve cells in your head greatly outnumber the number of stars in this Universe? However, many of us don’t walk around like  we have the most expensive, state-of-the-art computer in our head.  Our performance in school and work fall way below our limitless potential. The reason for this is simple.
  • In school, we were never taught anything about our brain and how understanding it’s functions could help us learn and memorise.
  • We were never taught anything about how our memory functions,
  • We were never taught anything about special and advanced memory techniques and how to use it to our advantage.
  • We were never taught about the nature of concentration and how they can be applied to different discipline and styles.
FACT: Did you know that Einstein just had an average-sized brain? If so, how did he come up with his revolutionary and groundbreaking scientific theories? The secret lies in the way we have been using our brain.
Imagine if you were taught the right way to think, the right way to learn and the right way to remember and be creative. Then imagine how this new skill could massively enhance your life and your career, you could;
  • Get better grades in school and ultimately a great job or career
  • Earn more money, a lot more, and get a faster promotion or become a more creative manager.
  • Become a successful entrepreneur - always a step in ahead your competitors with fresh new ideas.
  • Gain a higher self-esteem knowing you've gained mastery over your super-charged memory.

Quotations help us remember the simple yet profound truths that give life perspective and meaning. When it comes to life's most important lessons, we can all use gentle reminders

Regarding Life
Each day is a little life.
He is happiest who finds peace in his home.
                   
We don't know who we are until we see what we can do.
Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.
Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.
The greater part of our happiness or misery depends on our dispositions and not on our circumstances.
                                    

When you look at your life, the greatest happinesses are family happinesses.
                                       
 Believe you can and you're halfway there.
                                       
Life is like a mirror, we get the best results when we smile at it.
                                      
You may live longer than I do, but I will live more.
                                 
To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
                                   
Don't be afraid to fail. Don't waste energy trying to cover up failure. Learn from your failures
and go on to the next challenge. It's OK. If you're not failing, you're not growing.
Happiness is a direction, not a place.
Our life is frittered away by detail... Simplify, simplify.
                             
Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience.
                                        
I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.
                                        
The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination.
                                       
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in the expert's mind there are few.
                                     
Think you can, think you can't; either way you'll be right.                                  

Do the thing you fear, and the death of fear is certain.                                     

Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of subversions.                                        

Fear always springs from ignorance.                                       

When you get into a tight place, and it seems you can't go on, hold on, for that's just the place and time that the tide will turn.                             
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us, or we find it not.
                                       

what is success?

    "What Is Success"

  • To laugh often and much;

  • To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;

    • To earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
      To appreciate beauty;
      To find the best in others;
      To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition;
      To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived;
      This is to have succeeded.

    jai gurudev

    Oh lord

    For eons I longed for God,
    I yearned to know him.
    That's why he has come to me now,
    deep emerald Lord of my breath.
    O Syama, whenever your faraway flute thrills
    through the dark, I say your name,
    only your name, and will my body to dissolve
    in the luminous soul
    Jai gurudev……….
    Jai gurudev……..
    Jai gurudev…….."

    spring days


    Spring
    By the murmur of a spring,
    Or the least of leaves rustle ling,
    By a daisy whose leaves spread love,
    Shut when Titan goes to bed,
    Or a shady bush or tree,
    that could more infuse in me
    Than all Nature's beauties can
    In some other wiser man.
    By her help I can also now
    Make this churlish place allow
    Something that may sweeten gladness
    In the very gall of sadness--
    The dull loneliness, the black shade,
    That these hanging vaults have made
    The strange music of the waves
    Beating on these hollow caves,
    This black den which rocks emboss,
    Overgrown with eldest moss,
    The rude portals that give light
    More to terror than delight,
    This my chamber of neglect

    Tagore's Poetry Teaches Us How to Love God
    Rabindranath Tagore (May 7, 1861 - August 7, 1941) the bard of Bengal immaculately brought out the essence of Eastern spirituality in his poetry like no other poet. His spiritual vision, as he himself said, is imbued "with the ancient spirit of India as revealed in our sacred texts and manifested in the life of today."his poems were a real inspiration for the generation,it highly motivate whomever read his poems
    Tagore's 'Gitanjali' or 'Song Offerings' contains his  English prose i.e translations of Bengali poetry was published in 1913 with an introduction by the Irish poet W. B. Yeats. This book won Tagore the Nobel Prize for Literature that year. Here's an excerpt from his introduction that helps us realize that "We had not known that we loved God, hardly it may be that we believed in Him…"

    “Poetry is an imaginative awareness of experience expressed through meaning, sound, and rhythmic language choices so as to evoke an emotional response”
    The Ubiquity of God in Tagore's Works
    Yeats writes: "These verses … as the generations pass, travellers will hum them on the highway and men rowing upon the rivers. Lovers, while they await one another, shall find, in murmuring them, this love of God a magic gulf wherein their own more bitter passion may bathe and renew its youth… The traveller in the read-brown clothes that he wears that dust may not show upon him, the girl searching in her bed for the petals fallen from the wreath of her royal lover, the servant or the bride awaiting the master's home-coming in the empty house, are images of the heart turning to God. Flowers and rivers, the blowing of conch shells, the heavy rain of the Indian July, or the moods of that heart in union or in separation; and a man sitting in a boat upon a river playing lute, like one of those figures full of mysterious meaning in a Chinese picture, is God Himself…"
