Be like a scientist in your life while dealing with failures. For most of us, failure represents who we
are as a person but for scientists, a negative result or failure ...
is not an indication of a bad scientist. The failures or setbacks are the data points that ultimately lead to the right answer. A failure proves to be an opportunity for growth intended for one reason that concludes to focus you on creating a new routine or understanding new agility. Failure is a result of an investigation. Let’s rewind from a failure for a moment. What was it that you were striving for when you felt you failed? An “A” in Physics?
If you start viewing whatever it was that you were trying to achieve as an experiment, it takes the
pressure off of needing to have perfectly accomplished it. You attempted something for the very first time, regardless of how many years you studied, or
worked that whole journey was new to you, as it is the journey of life.
The gift with which you can bless yourself is to dig your failure for the next round.
Now you have gone through the experimenting process, and have come out on the other side as having fallen, what can you learn from it? Because I have a secret to share now, “That, failure is chock full of
knowledge that can help you do better in the next attempt.” This is the point of experiments in science.
All results point to knowledge, the knowledge that scientists throw into their information bag to
use for their next experience. Every failure is an opportunity for us to drill the results for the value we can provide to do better the next time. Therefore, treat your failure like a scientist so that you can overcome it and treat it well.
Focus is a zone that catches most of your attention without any distraction. There are a few game-changer hacks that you could apply in your daily life to optimize ...focus.
Let’s begin with the investment of energy firstly. If you have assigned yourself an important task, schedule it at the time of day when you have most of the energy to perform. It is important to be at a peak of your energy because managing time in better ways plays a crucial role. It is useless if you have time but don’t have the energy to do it. Many people consume their energy on their important tasks at the beginning of the day, whereas for some people it works the other way around.
Secondly, do not use social media before the afternoon. It is the best way to eradicate distraction and pursue your agenda rather than scrolling aimlessly on social media and observing people’s agendas. We do not often realize that our physical energy is as important as our mental energy. And one favor that you could do to your mind is at least not dictating it to the mental state of the world.
If you want to stay focused, do not catch up with the screen when you wake up. Another better option could also be leaving your phone in any other room till you get your work done.
Moreover, provide yourself with an “anchor task” that is a mainstay and could make your day in place. The power of choosing one priority will guide you to make the way through the day. Because in the beginning, it is all about getting started, not even succeeding.
Nowadays political temperature in Pakistan is towering high. There is an air of uncertainty everywhere in the whole country. For the first time in the history of Pakistan, a no-confidence motion succeeded against the prime minister of Pakistan....The PDM and PPP worked together to oust Imran Khan through a no-confidence motion. Approximately 20 MNAs of PTI were against Imran Khan, whereas the other members of PTI did not vote for Shahbaz Sharif as they could be disqualified. The Tehreeq-e-Insaf responded by accusing the opposition parties of being a part of the foreign-backed conspiracy, claiming that it possessed a diplomatic cable in which a threat was issued by the US Government to remove Imran Khan as Prime Minister of Pakistan, otherwise Pakistan had to face severe economic and geopolitical problems. Nevertheless, the US foreign office has denied such rumors. The national security committee also admitted that the letter contained "Undiplomatic Language", but they refused the impression of any foreign interference. In this raid, the Pakistani ambassador to America, belonging to no political party, has also claimed to have received threats. The Russian Foreign Minister's spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, reported that the US has punished the lawless Imran Khan which is a shameless act. Knowing this Imran khan called out his supporters to stage rallies and assemblages all over Pakistan. There was a huge crowd of people in Karachi, Lahore, and Peshawar. The hashtag "Imported government na Manzoor" is still trending on Twitter leaving a mark in history. The Twitter space of Imran Khan has also broken the records.
After the removal of the previous government, Shahbaz Sharif took the place as the PM. Currently, the newly elected CM of Punjab has not taken oath yet. There is still an element of tension left in the political chambers of Pakistan. Dr. Arif Alvi who refused to take oath from the newly elected PM of the opposition is still the president of Pakistan. Legal experts say that it is not possible to remove the President from office because impeachment of the President requires a two-thirds majority of the total members of both houses of parliament. In this case, the President has no threat from the Government as the prime minister has no authority to remove the President. Throwing light on the constitutional power of the president, important decisions should be made suspending the rest of the affairs for a short period.
According to Barrister Salahuddin:
"If the president starts refusing the advice of the PM, then the state machinery would quickly grind to that.”
Moreover, there is even an interesting situation in Punjab. There are decisions to be made yet. Let’s hope for the best.
It is said “You are what you think!”. Hence, your perception and attitude towards life define your
ability to endure strength and achieve greatness in life, as author Tonny Robbins says, ...“The power
of positive thinking is the ability to generate a feeling of certainty in yourself when nothing in the
environment supports you.”
Thoughts form our reality. The deeper you think, the more you awaken to find your meaning in
life by learning to discipline your thoughts and achieving mindfulness. Thoughts determine who
we aspire to be. They depict our soulful intentions and shadow our deepest desires. The raw
thoughts popping in your mind are initially words without soul that may not make much sense, yet
they possess immense potential to be transformed into reality. 95% of our life operates on the
commands signalled by our brains, thereby suggesting the magnificent role of our thoughts in
creating our reality. There are 50 trillion cells in the human body that work under the signals
provided by our mind, and not our genes. Every cell is a battery and genes are just like blueprints.
This complicated fashion of 50 trillion units of life give up their response and solely respond to
the central voice of the mind. Thus, it is noteworthy to say that man is not a victim of genes but
perception. With this potential that we are blessed with, we can serve others and help ourselves in
unique ways. A notable instance in this regard will be the recovery of one's health with just our
positive and healing thoughts and practices like meditation. 95% of cancer cases do not contain
mutant genes, rather they develop just because of epigenetic/non genetic influences. That is why
psychologists advise patients not to own disease and to reduce the amount of time that they talk
about being ill. Therefore, refusal to allow illness a place in your consciousness generates thoughts
that help to regain health. Our thoughts form the strongest neuromuscular coordination that results
in physiological reactions by the body, hence triggering the hypothalamus to provoke the entire
endocrine system. Joe Dispenza in his book entitled Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: How
to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One quotes, “When feelings become the means of thinking,
or if we cannot think greater than how we feel, we can never change. To change is to think greater
than how we feel. To change is to act greater than the familiar feelings of the memorized self."
The direct connection of mindset and body produces the outcome following the nature of stimuli
that it receives. If the perception is positive and the person believes its healing power even if he is
provided with a sugar pill (Placebo effect) as a dose of medicine; he ends up curing himself. It
construes that it was not a pill that has healed him, but the thought-process that started abrupt
recovery. In the same context, this positive mindset empowers a strong sense of wellbeing and
mental vitality. A few of the key factors that regulate the positive belief system include kindness,
gratitude, spirituality, zest, hope, generosity, curiosity, and forgiveness. Your thoughts mold into
your actions. With time and consistency, these actions ultimately manifest as habits. It is often
seen in professional life when a person's optimistic attitude positively influences the job as
compared to those possessing pessimistic mind traits. Negative thinking can do anything from doubt
to limiting belief and act as a poison, commonly referred to as the Nocebo effect. Similarly, fear-based thoughts secrete certain glands and raise the level of cortisol, heartbeat and breathing rate
while imposing a negative effect on immunity. This is how the biology of belief-set has a direct
link with the human body. In the words of Bruce Lipton, “The moment you change your perception
is the moment you change your chemistry.” Your infrequent habits transform into your frequent
character. According to Einstein, “The world we have created today is because of thinking.”
Today's business market is evidence of how there is an increase in profits for the marketers who
are firmly determined. Likewise, research shows that progressive communities usually excel
because they have mentally and physically conditioned themselves in such a manner. In his book
Power of Now, author Eckhart Tolle also stresses on the mindfulness of the present moment and
its perks. Our thoughts are dependent on various factors like surroundings, books, magazines,
social media, company and social circles because everything that surrounds humans becomes a
source of reference. Consider if someone tells you to close your eyes and that they are going to
give you a big juicy yellow lemon, you will observe how instantly saliva starts producing in your
mouth. It is believed that “You become what you behold!”. Our thoughts and intentions create our
reality that becomes our lifestyle.
In The Power by writer Rhonda Byrne reflects on our firm beliefs and their role in fashioning our
identity. The significance of the power of mind over matter and how people can become healthy
or sick is based largely on the state of mind. It helps you to explore the known and unknown
corners of your mystical glory i.e. your absolute destiny. Destiny is life! Thus, the takeaway
is that your journey begins with just a thought. It is your thought process that manufactures your
mentality, spirit of life, and subsequently defines your journey in life. Thus, think good to have a
fortune that traces your eloquence and positivity in life. Remember that you have the power of
potential. Your thoughts construct your destiny and you just become what you think. As it is well
said that it is your beliefs, true or untrue, that form your world because imagination is more real
than the world you see, and the world you see reflects on your thoughts What you believe and feel
to be true is what your life will be. On the contrary, fear is the most disintegrating enemy of human
personality and in current times, anxiety is the great modern plague. Therefore, keeping yourself
calm is the need of the hour for people to grow. For every problem there is a solution, so do not
think you're the atlas carrying the world on your shoulders. Learn to re-program your mind into
thinking positive at all times, in all situations.
Our modern society is the only one in history that has feared sunlight without even acknowledging the glorious facts about it. UV light reacts with cholesterol in the skin to form Vitamin D which is critical to immune function and for absorption of Calcium...along with other minerals. UV light has also shown to reduce blood pressure, to increase the efficiency of the heart, to improve metabolism and weight loss, to improve hormonal profile as well as the gut microbiome with increase in libido. A recent study in cell proves that exposure to UV light stimulates testosterone levels. Sunny days anywhere have a profound effect on mood and fertility due to the brightness, whereas those who don’t get into this brightness are caught with more incidences of fatigue, sickness, insomnia, and depression leading to suicide. Since UV light is the brightest, it was used to treat deficiency of libido in men as per recent research.
If we want to restore health and humanity, we need to restore our relation with the sun. I believe we need an RDA for it.
BONUS: Stop staring at the screens all day and sitting indoors under the fake light and expose your skin to the sunlight as much as you can.
Learning, unlearning, relearning is significantly important, as the one who has been well-reputed in academics is not illiterate but the one who ...cannot distinguish the facts and figures from unreal knowledge or beliefs. It is one of the best methodologies that nourish the ideology and let it flourish with a fast pace to have a practical approach.
Of course whenever we take interest in learning something new, gathering knowledge becomes pleasurable most of the time over a specific subject and we tend to make more of our time. This is called learning.
Similarly when setting on a journey of accumulating information regarding subjects to be explored, one comes across various stages as some of its details may sound Greek, others might be logical thus easier to engulf and retain. Right here, a flexible mindset seems to be appealing as the particulars that are not hands-on. These may include unconscious beliefs, assumptions, practices, values that need to be eradicated. People usually lack courage to accept the change and let their philosophies be improved.
Annihilation of beliefs gives rise to new, fine and precise alternatives that were looked for by a quester. Seekers usually consider this stage fruitful since they meet the logic and precise reasoning. Coming to an end, the world direly needs people who think critically, relearn their perspective and develop better conception.
Whenever you learn something new your brain upgrades the software. Similarly when it comes to reading and extracting knowledge from a book, we must know that outcome ... should be the bulk of information rather than quantitative analysis, because learning new things is not complex but retaining knowledge is. With this mindset let us have a look on an abstract below:
Skim through the table of contents, index, headings, subheadings, bolded points and within a few minutes you will know the ideology of the book. If it suits your interest then go ahead with it, otherwise it is time to look for the next read. This is a crucial yet important step.
Practice plays an important role in memory development. Make sure you apply knowledge in your daily life whatever you scrutinize from books. Of course, not every book is practical but those which are relatable should be put into use meaningfully.
You should make searchable notes either in digital or analogue format that is easily accessible when needed, because ideas are only useful when you can find it when you need it.
As Charlie Munger says, “If you get into the mental habit of relating what you’re reading to the basic structure of the underlying ideas being demonstrated, you gradually accumulate some wisdom.” Form the linking system between your old and new ideas on the relatable subject. It helps to retain more information and gather knowledge.
Conclude your read into a hand-written summary. Write about the core points, central ideas by the author, also do not forget to pen down your image if you find yourself picturing yourself in your read.
You can also apply the Feynman technique; write the name of the book at the top of a blank sheet of paper, then write down how you’d explain the book to someone who had never heard of it. If you do not feel confident while describing, go back to the notes or pages of the book and then write again.
Good books are not one-time-read. Read them frequently, or at least twice to retain more of it.
HAPPY READING!
We are always chasing gold – excellence – perfection – fantasy! We have this inherent need to show off our wealth to satiate our ... desires to feel superior to others because we have forgotten the ugly truth that one day all our wealth will bury in the dust. We need to spend money to create opportunities for others. But unfortunately, our entirely fake world coexists with hollow men who claim for manhood.
There are millions of people who don’t have clean water to drink and their living condition is a nightmare. On the flip side, there are masses living the life they desire. They get what they want, exactly as if the world is in their hands. In the first world countries, people worship things, shop lavish, they have big fancy houses, giving soul, mind and emotion to things. Together as a society, we have co-created sucked up world of materialism.
One day, all these materialistic things will be nothing other than the particle of dust!
Our consciousness about dreaming fantasies will erode with the entangled worthless materialism of the world. We have just a short story of our remaining life left behind. We might become disappointed for what are we living over here, and for what we should be actually living for. We have been consumed with brand culture, new trends, and our obsessed souls. The level to which we are sucked in this materialism is nothing but appalling and shocking. It is time we serve the mother earth and practice gratitude.
There is a connection between a lack of sleep and anxiety. A good night’s sleep can make a person feel energized and focused and give them an overall sense of well-being. But those... who have difficulty sleeping may feel anxious and face concentration problems. Research shows that using social media at night increases anxiety as well as feelings of depression and low self-esteem. Sleep-deprived state can further lead to mental and emotional disorders. You may start having hallucinations or experiencing microsleep (when you fall asleep for few seconds to few minutes, without even realizing it). Additionally our eyes also perceive the bright light of day and the darkness of night. As darkness sets in, the body’s biological clock instructs the cells to slow down. When the evening becomes dark, the hormone melatonin starts to rise and allows sleep to occur. Melatonin peaks around 2–4 A.M. and then reduces by morning, allowing wakefulness. This is a bio-clock fixed in our bodies, medically called circadian rhythm. Having unhealthful sleep habits may disrupt the circadian clock across the day. This may include issues such as:
· Going out late and waking up early
· Having no set sleep time
· Eating and drinking late at night
· Consuming caffeine late at night
· Using electronic devices late at night
· Performing mentally stimulating activities late in the day
· Having pain or discomfort in the sleeping space
However, normal sleep hours vary from person to person; for children and infants it should be 11-17 hours, 7-9 hours for youngsters and adults, and 7-8 for older adults. Moreover, people who don’t expose themselves to sunlight suffer from low levels of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep-wake cycle. Thus if you want a quality sleep, assess the importance of above principles as a medicine for cure.
Urging to work hard never guarantees scoring high GPAs. Studying smarter does! Adopt techniques to learn faster and better
1. Observe your primary channel that helps you assimilate information. It can be any of your basic senses. Your eyes or ears! Either you are visual and try to see information and get it right, using audio notes proves to be your savior, ...or the writing notes/drawing/ highlighting/drawing flowcharts does.
2. Categorize your work into daily, weekly and monthly to-do lists.
3. Have handouts of ideas outlines of the topics provided to you by your teacher to Retain information. Do it while revising too. While studying, go through this scheme.
4. Print out presentation either printed or ppt form having every possible important fact. Have a look over the highlights/titles/topics so that you can easily figure out what you need to revise at the last moment.
5. People take notes. Explore what helps you either handwritten notes or typed notes and then printing them out.
6. Prioritize revising the information within the first 24 hours after hearing it. Remember we retain 80% of information in the brain at the moment, and revising after a week retains 100% of it.
7. You can lessen your curve of forgetting by reading from the textbook (within 24 hours), highlighting important points; rewriting them keeping in mind the textbook, Ppt presentation, and points from your lecture.
8. Skim! Extract important points in a shorter time by having a glance of chief words only. Instance: reading introduction then first and last line of next paragraph, mid-lines of another paragraph and so on. Do not do this line to line. This trick works wonders in literature topics, academic journals, theories, .
9. Do not underestimate full-good quality sleep. If you are taking your exam in a state of dysania, your mind would probably not interpret information rather collapse.
10. Environment should be appealing and suitable and you should be alone while studying. It could be a neat and clean desk, nothing scattered or so. Other people can be messy creators, just know what works for you.
11. Watch what you are eating. Eating can nourish you but can make you sleepy. That is why people usually have their naps after they have meals. Accordingly, staying hungry is an important element. Empty stomach helps you concentrate and deliver better. Even if you snack first for studies then go for a break, have a meal, take tea, walk and study more! Do not do this in the same venue.
The changes in our health and genes which have been observed in the past years have eroded our fitness due to the unhealthy lifestyle, detrimental ...food regime and so on. Such junk patterns lead to sugar levels and give rise to cardiovascular disorders, problems of the brain, PCOS, inflammation, cancer, male impotency, and liver diseases. The root-cause of all of these diseases is carbohydrates and sugar. It is an hour of need to admit carbohydrates as the enemy. Thus we are right to conclude that they cause insulin resistance which is the major cause of health penalties today. Many years ago, Prof. Jason Fung, a nephrologist, had alarmed the world that modern ailments will only be caused by diet. Nevertheless they will be 100% reversible too. To construe it up, diet is our only savior from the dreadful number of disorders that are inclining to alarming levels day by day. Just because of unhealthy dietary patterns we become prey to chronic kidney diseases, retinopathy, and amputation of toes, unhealthy cholesterol, and high blood pressure, neurodegenerative problems. Consequently, it is much necessary to acknowledge diet and to have check and balance of the kind of nutrients we are consuming. Consume good carbohydrates instead of bad ones! We need to stay healthy and unstoppable!
There is a pressing need to educate masses regarding supporting small-scale businesses as they constitute a major share of the economy. Small ...scale industries should be reinforced and
promoted to encourage and financially support the businessmen to increase
their productivity and help them expand their line of work. This way, the market
remains regulated and affordable for consumers belonging to each and every
socioeconomic segment. Additionally, the stability of a local business
is directly related with its reach, sales and profit earned. Initiating from the
scratch, with limited resources and capital to sustain long-term, these businesses
are more prone to collapse if not supported. Hence, they
have to work harder to attain limelight and grab audience in the market. The
important thing is that unlike lavish designer brands that loot their clients at
triple rates and preach an extravagant lifestyle, small-scale
businesses charge way less and target a wider population. Let us all educate
ourselves with the idea of simpler living and need-based worthwhile shopping
experience that benefits not only the clients, but facilitates the
entrepreneurs to fuel up their business spaces.
Cholesterol-phobia had circulated all over the world in the old days. It has been considered a tocsin. Nonetheless, today with fast internet technology, it takes little effort to search the details and reveal secrets. Consequently...
today we are going to debunk myths about cholesterol. Cholesterol was, and still it is, somewhat considered that it attacks the heart and blocks the blood vessels. But no! The major cause of this blockage is insulin resistance, instead of cholesterol. Before insulin resistance, arteries/veins suffer from inflammation, due to which cholesterol has to repair that part. There would be no life without cholesterol. It is a fat that our body makes 3000 mg per day. Secondly, each cell of our body contributes to making cholesterol each day. Thus, the more you consume good cholesterol the less the body has to make.
Let’s further have a look on health benefits of cholesterol:
1. Primary constituent of cell membranes.
2. 25% of cholesterol is synthesized by the brain.
3. Helps in composition of hormones.
4. Formation of bile.
5. Used in vitamin D synthesis when exposed to sunlight.
To conclude, it would be an illusion to consider cholesterol as health-penalty or that it blocks the blood vessels since it does not block them up, rather it repairs the injury that had occurred there. Likewise, it is necessarily important to assure whether the body is provided with HDL (good cholesterol) or not.
1. Is tumor a cancer?
All cancers are tumors but all tumors are not cancers. Tumor means abnormal ...
growth that is either malignant or benign. Malignant tumor is cancerous. Another causing swellings on the forehead, arms, is the ordinary tumor. Malignant tumor invades other tissues locally and spreads onto distant places as well. Growth of tissue in the local area without destruction is a benign tumor. So one may not be afraid if they have a tumor that it is cancerous.
2. What are the signs and symptoms of a tumor?
The signs and symptoms include formation of space forming lesions that exert pressure inside the head leading to the early morning headaches, vomiting (that relieves headache), dysfunction of the nerves that are having brain tumors; for instance, a tumor on auditory nerve may result in hearing loss) leading to neurological deficit (abnormal function of the body area), seizures, etc.
3. What leads to formation of a tumor?
Some tumors can be genetic, or formed due to exposure of radiation, whereas other causes may include neurofibromatosis. But many still do not have a proper cause. Syndromes are genetic, on the other hand, others are sporadic brain tumors that are without any particular reason.
4. Is surgery the only source to escape?
Basically it requires scanning and imaging in order to be diagnosed. After proper diagnosis through CT scan and MRI, there are multiple options for treatments. If a tumor is benign or malignant with not more than 3cm is given a non-surgical treatment.
5. What is stereotactic radiosurgery?
Non-surgical treatment is also known as radiosurgery in which focused radiations are thrown on the specific margins of the tumor without radiating the normal brain anatomy. Machines used for this purpose are known as CyberKnife, Gamma knife and the therapy is called stereotactic radiosurgery. They either vanish tumor or bring it under control for a long period of time.
Thus it is important to note that not all tumors require surgery or radiation.
Food safety practices are crucially vital for our health and wellbeing. Improper food handling techniques give rise to food borne diseases due to which approximately 600 million ...
people suffer from foodborne diseases. The high risk individuals like babies, elderly, pregnant moms, immune-compromised, HIV, or cancer patients are more prone to such diseases which occur due to bacterial, viral or fungal attacks. These tiny prolific organisms proactively increase their number upon entering the body. These smallest, mysterious and energetic creatures belong to three different groups; the good ones - help to produce food and drink (cheese, yogurt, fermented meat, vegetables), less harmful ones - produce foul smell and taste bad but do not cause diseases, and the bad ones - this kind is horrifying type of deceitful creatures that may not smell or taste bad but are dangerous to our health. These pathogenic microorganisms cause severe illnesses like food poisoning, stomachache, nausea, diarrhea, and even death. But fortunately, no matter how terrifying their traits are, they are vulnerable and we can get rid of them by taking care of following precautions for safer food production:
· High level of personal hygiene and practices like timely handwashing
· Better handling, preparation and storage of food
· Keeping food clean to prevent contamination
· Proper cleaning and sanitizing of all surfaces of equipment and utensils
· Keeping food at safe temperatures either hot or cold to prevent bacterial growth
· Use of safe water and raw material to avoid contamination
· Separation of raw and cooked foods to avoid cross contamination
· Thorough cooking of food to kill microorganisms.
We can protect our family and friends by implementing such preventive measures to ensure our health and safety or else we would have to pay additional costs of buying medications and checkups later. Therefore stay healthy, stay safe!
How can you lift your productivity as exponential as 100 times? First thing that pops up in mind is the sense of capturing the criteria of people being creative and productive at the ...
same time. Despite the era of digital distractions, psychology of procrastination and much more, the majority of us still strive for excellence. Excelling at this, we are with the following golden rules showing the bright side to us:
1. Refrain from spending your finest hours of the day on distractions. Invest your time in what is worth working for. Here, Robin Sharma is of the view; “90/90/1 rule _ For the next 90 days, spend 90 minutes of your day on your single most important game changing opportunity.” If you begin devoting time to unimportant things in the beginning of the day, your performance, energy, willpower and focus would be all messed up, and you may miss out on a life changing move. Consequently, consume your most energetic morning hours at worthy pieces of work.
2. Adapt the fine environment. Distractions like noise, or even toxic people are obstacles to your quality-work. Install environments of tight bubbles of focus where you are absolutely distraction-free. So that your brain could drop from the beta state that is fast, alert and attentive into the alpha state which is calm and stress-free.
3. If you want to be a high performer populate yourself with a peer group who is doing great and is exactly where you see your future. Mirror neuron systems are naturally built-in humans that are indirectly related to the law of attraction. It models the behaviors, including the environment we live in, or the people we live with. Thus, if you spend most of your time with mediocre performers; your mind would subconsciously start pronouncing and behaving like them.
4. Last but not the least is learning minimalism. You can reach an ultra-productive level while having a minimalistic mindset. As it is said that the secret to genius is not complexity but simplicity. History assures this fact greatly when iconic productivity comes to Picasso; a world class at just a few things. Thus, we can master our projects quite efficiently following the above golden principles.
Brain is a great organ, and has a super power. Intelligence of the brain ... is elastic in nature that means the more you work on it, the sharper and stronger brain you will have! Our normal everyday tasks are no-brainer. Still, a little attention to the brain would prove irresistibly appealing. Here we are, with some brainy exercises which we need to normalize in our daily lives.
1. Look around, observe the object that caught your attention at the first sight. Now you have 30 seconds to recall five synonyms for it. Pressurize your brain to think.
Ultimately, when the time would be over; you will observe a few new words that your mind consciously or unconsciously pronounced. That is an appealing way to boost your diction and to get rid of everyday-slang words. Practicing this over and over again would transform you into a smarter-being. Contrary to it, just in case if you could not spell the word out of your tongue, no worries, consult a dictionary on your phone and explore 5 new synonyms of the word. With the passage of time, your woke-up will grow.
2. Visualizing helps surprisingly when exercised time and again. For this, you need to write five random words. Now, work with them to connect with each other.
Practicing it regularly will strain your brain to work more. To do so, it is even easier to manage a box full of numerous chits of words. Randomly pick 5 of them and start working to build scenarios, linking them up.
3. Cannot you remember numbers? No worries! Solution goes with chunking. Chunk them up into smaller ones. Repeat them twice. And, you are good to remember lifetime.
It is always easier to digest little chunks than the bigger bites. Segregate long terms or digits into smaller sections. Repeat them twice and you are ready to spit them out anytime, anywhere.
While having a glance at the inbox of a professional, we often come to know the basic and neglected etiquettes. These are... not only messages or official conversations but are also a signature of; who you are, where you belong, and what is your upbringing. Remember, the receiver never knows you personally but the following factors create your image, and it is all yours_ to choose what kind of category you belong or a personality you are:
1. Greet (but do not stop after it).
2. Introduce yourself.
3. Clarify your problems/offers/collaborations/suggestions in a small pitch, concisely.
4. A question should always be specified.
5. Once you are done with the message, show patience and do not overdo it.
6. Making direct calls is the top-most immoral impression. Avoid making them.
7. Wait for your turn.
Note: Patience is gratitude.
Skills are the need to survive in this technologically fast 21st century. As far as academics are concerned, there are vast fields providing massive scopes and applications, ... popping up in the brains of the youth. Students have to work hard several years to enter their professional life to struggle for bread and butter. Hence, while paying heed to the poverty, we observe; there are many people who cannot complete their education due to the meagre amount of money they possess. Likewise, we come to know about the enthusiastic youth who want to have financial independence. Correspondingly, many females are stepping up to claim their financial stability. In other cases, many parents do not afford to pay the large sum of educational dues, hence hindering the never-ending schooling process of their children.
Moreover, in the present age of inflation, there is a rapid-fire race of finance. Majority of people cannot earn and are prey to instability and dimmer life.
As a result, a question pops in our minds, what can be that only source that can take their peaceful dreams to the heights of glory?
The dignified answer to the above question is ‘exploring skills.’ People who have skills are firm and steady. They have no fears of not getting a job, and hence, lack of earning, because they find peace and poise in their polished talents, skills and creativity. For sure, this is absolutely a great source to showcase talent and let the earning get steady. In a nutshell, the sooner the youth explore their inner-talent and get it polished, the more they would see the prospects of a brighter future.
Sun is the main source of blue light. However, digital devices like mobiles, tablets, LEDs and other gadgets also emit blue light. Thus, it is everywhere. There are different advantages linked with the blue light, though,... the disadvantages are severe than the pros. Notably, this type of light is associated with different physical and mental diseases. Since, eyes do not block the blue light, so it can cause cataracts, snow blindness, even cancer, permanent vision loss, eye strains and sleep discomfort. Additionally, it is bad to use digital gadgets at night, as they can be a culprit to your health, leading to diabetes, obesity and many other diseases. Yet, you can use blue light filters, or yellow tinted computer glasses to avoid affecting your health, while using digital devices for a long time.

They deserve to be treated with utmost esteem to equip them with social, financial
and matrimonial independence. Their involvement in every field of life outshines
their social
capabilities. Women preserve human race and are entitled to freedom of sentiments to
put forward their opinions on public, legislative and religious matters. Therefore,
they must be designated to pursue their passions.
Without their involvement, the pace of scientific and technological development of
one’s nation would be extremely compromised. The global history is full of the names
of the rising stars who were eminent pundits, poets,
teachers, suffis and businesswomen exiling in their respective fields. Women have
been illuminating their potentials since forever in the form of Hellen Keller,
Benazir Bhutto or Margaret Thatcher. Currently, these
beacons of hope are Hilary Clinton, Angelina Jolie, Malala Yousafzai, Oprah Winfrey,
Jane Goodall, Beyonce, Jacinda Ardern and so on. Even in digital space, they have
earned a significant place by becoming influencers,

Our everlasting lust for skin whiteness has originated from prehistoric colonial times. As a result, many individuals in our societies,... especially females, are fed with a burden of
attaining white skin tone at the risk of identity crisis. To address our
complex for darker skin, we have been advertising makeup products or cosmetics with
an intention to lighten our original skin color. Is to remember that the brownness
of our skin is a blessing in disguise as our melanin
production is anatural process of shielding our skin. Each of us has been blessed
with the best of our features. And as far as the makeup is concerned, it should only
be done to enhance your features or modify our looks
with elegance. To whiten the skin tone is a fallacy. Excess of anything is
unnecessary and futile. Still, many of our beauty clinics and salons, including the
skin-whitening industry, have overlooked this aspect. They prey
on the insecurities of their customers, loot them and rob them of their identities.
Therefore, it is important to teach our children that they are beautiful no matter
what their skin color is. We have to create awareness
on the concept of “being you.” So why should not we praise Almighty for what we are
born with, rather than pretending to be what we are not!.
