Mother

Mother is the personification of love and is the angel sent by god to look after her children. “God could not be everywhere, so he created mothers”.  A mother showers love on her children forgives their mistakes and stands a pillar of strength, courage, inspiration and solace for them. She is the bank where all the emotions, sorrows and expectations of the children are deposited. Mother has a secret code of language with her child and can understand what the child is trying to say, which no one else can. The word mother can work magic on the ears of the child. She is not only a friend, philosopher and guide but a god living right in front of the eyes of children and can be reached out easily. Even those who have escalated to high positions in the society are just a child in front of their mother, irrespective of their age. The love of mother knows no bounds and hence there is no limit to the number of times a mother forgives her child. Hundreds of sayings and quotes have been said on mother yet they are not boring.

Life is too short!

Whether we choose to see it or not, our life is too short to worry about small things. Though some circumstances in our lives at the moment may seem fairly significant, we must realize that the things that are really important are the things that are going to matter in ten to twenty years, or twenty to fifty years. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff. We have to choose to live our lives in the present and for the future, instead of trying to live in the past. We must also live our lives doing the things and for the people that we are passionate about. Living a life without passion, and without hope for the future is not really living your life at all. Remember that the next minute, hour, and day are not promised to you, and may be taken from you at any time. Never let anything or any person stop you from pursuing the things that you are truly passionate about pursuing.

Muraturile, bune pentru organism!

Muratul este unul din cele mai vechi moduri de a conserva alimentele, descoperit cu mii de ani in urma, in Mesopotamia. Stramosii nostri au explorat modalitati de a marina produsele alimentare, ca urmare a unui instinct de a asigura aprovizionarea cu alimente pentru ierni lungi, foamete, precum si alte nevoi. Istoricii spun ca acum 2000 de ani muncitorii care au lucrat la Marele Zid Chinezesc au mancat varza murata Este si o arta culinara globala. Daca te vei duce la o degustare internationala, vei gasi muraturi  peste tot. Sa nu te miri daca descoperi ca anumite culturi au o varietate larga de alimente murate. Pe intelesul tuturor, muraturile sunt alimente inmuiate in solutii care previn deteriorarea lor. Fermentarea va incuraja cresterea microorganismelor “bune” din alimente, prevenind cresterea microorganismelor care altereaza alimentele. Insa pentru ca totul sa iasa bine, ai nevoie de ingrediente speciale si conditii atent controlate, cum ar fi temperatura si pH-ul.

Things That Drive Me Nuts

There are some things that I could honestly say I despise. I'm a pretty happy clam.  But there are things that get on my nerves and it seems the older I get the more they both me. Perhaps you have your own list, but this is mine:  1. People who are late - I'm not talking about 5 minutes or once in a while, but people who are routinely late.  No excuse in my opinion.  2. Loud people -

some people are just unaware of how loud they are, or they don't care that they are bothering others.  I encounter them on airplanes, in restaurants; even some of my neighbors at the lake are just loud!

Oamenii egoişti sunt mai fericiţi

Indivizii preocupaţi excesiv de propria pesoană şi care nu se simt vinovaţi pentru comportamentul lor au o stare sufletească mai bună decât a semenilor lor altruişti. Ingredientele care aduc fericirea au fost parţial dezvăluite de scriitorul francez Gustave Flaubert.: „Să fii prost, egoist şi să ai o sănătate bună sunt trei cerinţe pentru a fi fericit", spunea acesta. După două secole, cercetătorii au găsit şi dovezile ştiinţifice care argumentează spusele scriitorului. Un studiu recent arată că persoanele egoiste sunt mai fericite. Condiţia este să nu se simtă vinovate pentru comportamentul lor.

Feng Shui tips for your home

Feng Shui is a ancient and powerful Chinese art, which arranges business and residential premises to maximise prosperity.1) There should be no shoes or slippers lying around outside the main door of your house. Remove it if you can. Allow that space at the main door to be free and clear. The chi (energy) rides with the wind and will collect all the smell of those shoes and slippers into your house causing sickness. Ch’i then travels about in your house looking for water to stay but if there are no water fountains or fish tanks, then the Ch’i will be dispersed by wind.

2) There should be no television sets in your bedrooms: If you cannot get rid of that habit then after watching the television cover it with a plastic table cloth. Remember it has to be plastic and not simply cloth.

10 Habits You Must Quit to Be Happy

When you quit doing the wrong things, you make more room for the things that make you happy.  So starting today… 1.  Quit procrastinating on your goals.Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it.  Action and change are often resisted when they’re needed most.  Get a hold of yourself and have discipline.  Putting something off instantly  makes it harder and scarier.  What we don’t start today won’t be finished by tomorrow.  And there’s   nothing more stressful than the perpetual lingering of an unfinished task. The secret to getting ahead is simply getting started.  Starting, all by itself, is usually sufficient to build enough momentum to keep the ball rolling.  So forget about the finish line and just concentrate on taking your first step.  Say to yourself, “I choose to start this task with a small, imperfect step.”  All those small steps will add up and you’ll actually get to see changes fairly quickly.  Read Getting Things Done
