Lion, The Manager

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 20:39:00 PDT

One day a Lion was sitting outside his cave, lying lazily in the sun. Along comes a fox, out on a walk.

Fox: "Do you know the time, because my watch is broken"

Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix the watch for you"

Fox: "Hmm... But it's a very complicated mechanism, and your big claws will only destroy it even more"

Lion: "Oh no, give it to me, and it will be fixed"

Fox: "That's ridiculous! Any fool knows that lazy lions with great claws cannot fix complicated watches"

Lion: "Sure they do, give it to me and it will be fixed"

The lion disappears into his cave, and after a while he comes back with the watch which is running perfectly. The fox is impressed, and the lion continues to lie lazily in the sun, looking very pleased with himself.

Soon a wolf comes along and stops to watch the lazy lion in the sun.

Wolf: "Can I come and watch TV tonight with you, because mine is broken"

Lion: "Oh, I can easily fix your TV for you"

Wolf: "You don't expect me to believe such rubbish, do you? There is no way that a lazy lion with big claws can fix a complicated TV"

Lion: "No problem. Do you want to try it?"

The lion goes into his cave, and after a while comes back with a perfectly fixed TV. The wolf goes away happily and amazed.

Inside the Cave:

In one corner are half a dozen small and intelligent looking rabbits who are busily doing very complicated work with very detailed instruments. In the other corner lies a huge lion looking very pleased with himself.

Moral :

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY A MANAGER IS FAMOUS, LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.

IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY SOMEONE UNDESERVED IS PROMOTED; LOOK AT THE WORK OF HIS SUBORDINATES.

Simple dieting can work wonders in your fight to shed unwanted pounds. If you find yourself getting snacks from the vending machine at work, stop it! You can snack all day long and lose weight and professionals dietitians recommend that you eat every couple of hours. You should make your own blend of healthy snacks to take with you. These snacks can include raw or steamed vegetables, sugar-free yogart, fruits (sparangly) and you can even snack on sugar-free chocolate.
Dieting - The Best Thing You Can Do

Indeed, dieting is the best thing you can do to keep those unwanted pounds off. Even if you exercise while sitting down, you should diet...

Soda's Good For Energy, Bad Other-Wise

Diet soda's good to give you a quick pep up when you are feeling tired. You can drink a couple of diet sodas a day and be okay as long as you are flushing your body regularly with water. The caffiene is great for helping you lose weight by giving you that boost you need.

Text Scam

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 19:41:00 PDT

During the past few years, several news reports mentioned a scheme designed to defraud unsuspecting mobile phone owners. Criminal syndicates send text messages to several phone numbers, informing them that they supposedly won a prize in a promo. In order for the supposed winner to receive their prices, they will be required to text back certain personal details such as a home phone number and other personal details and/or prepare a certain amount to be paid as a processing fee. The mobile phone owner may also be asked to send prepaid cell phone credits/load to the supposed promo organizer. Those who fall into such trap will end with their homes getting ransacked and/or their hard earned money being taken away from them.

Here's how the scheme works:

Believing that the text announcement is real, the unsuspecting consumer may accede to the request to give the “processing fees” being asked or prepaid cell phone loads. Little do they know that that will be the last that they will see of their money. In addition, their reply gave the syndicate a new victim to pursue.
Replying with a phone number exposes the cell phone owner's home or office to the syndicates. It gives them a new target to pursue. They may call the house and use the mobile owner's name and cell number to support their claims and lure unsuspecting househelps or family members to give them access to their homes.
In fact simply replying gives the syndicate further encouragement to pursue the mobile phone owners. They can be harassed and threatened to giving in to demands for money and any other anything else that the syndicate may deem valuable. Lately, several variants of such scheme have proliferated and even makes use of email as a medium.

How to detect fraud and deal with text/emailed promos:

Check the text/email message for a DTI promo permit number. The absence of it already constitutes a violation of the law and gives a strong indication that the message is a hoax. By law, every promo should be registered with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and every corresponding poster and communication should have prior approval and quote the DTI promo number. If you listen and watch radio and TV promos, you will notice that the DTI promo numbers are always mentioned.

If the promo comes with a supposed DTI promo number, call up the DTI hotline and verify its validity through the promo details mentioned in the text message. If the promo is proven to be a hoax, report the violation in order for the government to run after the criminals.

This one is important: It will be to your benefit if the senders of the hoax message will never try to contact you again. Therefore, don't give them any encouragement. Never reply to any hoax message. Instead, report it to the authorities

Follow The Rules

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Mon, 01 Aug 2011 21:37:00 PDT

Exodus 20:2-3 - I am the Lord your God who brought you out of Egypt, where you were slaves. Worship no god but me.

I am a reluctant driver, but recently God has helped me venture out in our car a little more. I play Christian music to encourage me. As I gain confidence, I take the car for longer drives. But sometimes I find that I do not know the rules of the road.

I remind myself that I need to take the time to brush up on the rules. When I follow the rules I am safer. Failure to obey the rules (ignorance not being a valid excuse) could result in a fine, or worse -- an accident in which people are injured.

I have been thinking that following rules of the Bible is like following rules of the road. We need to know what is in our Bible, just as we need to know what is in the driver's handbook, before we can set out to follow the rules.

I compare the Motor Vehicle Act to the Ten Commandments. "It is illegal to run a red light" is equivalent to "You shall have no other gods before me." When we break traffic laws or disobey God's laws we suffer the consequences.

By running a red light we steer headlong into trouble, bodily injury, or possibly death, resulting in separation from family and friends. When we seek and serve gods of fame, fortune, pleasure or self, we head straight for a life of sin, spiritual poverty, and eventual separation from God.

As we grow in faith, and become more comfortable following God, we will want to go the distance with Him, in a similar manner to that in which I now drive further in my car than before.

Prayer: Faithful God, you are a God who goes with us through life. Help us to desire more and more to travel with you at our side during the journey. Make us willing servants who obey your laws. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

How to Prevent Diabetes

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 05:03:00 PDT

If you think that diabetes is an old man's disease and you are safe from it, then we beg you to think again.

Overweight, over-stressed and poor lifestyle observers are easy targets for this lifestyle disease, even at the young age of 20. While diabetes can be genetic, doctors say that type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) can be prevented by following a proper lifestyle. We had a word with AIIMS Dr (Col) Surender Kumar, Endocrinologist to the President of India, and Dr. P K D Shah, Sr. Consultant- medicine and endocrinology at Rockland Hospital about the top 5 ways to prevent type 2 diabetes:

I. Exercise regularly
Dr (Col) Surender Kumar: Regular exercise for at least 5 to 6 days in a week is a must. Opt for 30 minutes of intense exercise where the heart rate is double. Brisk walking or jogging and muscle building through weight lifting are good.

Dr. P K D Shah: Have an active lifestyle, which means one must exercise at least 20-30 minutes in a day. Aerobic exercises such as walking, cycling and swimming are good. Improving physical activity is one major step in preventing type 2 diabetes.

II. Stress reduction
Dr (Col) Surender Kumar: Stress reduction, both - at home and at workplace, is a must. Meditation, music, giving and getting love and respect from children, contentment in life, learning to forgive and keeping pets at home are a few ways through which one can combat stress.

Dr. P K D Shah: Make sure you are sleeping for 8 hours at night as various studies have shown that less than 6 hours of shut-eye time can put you at a greater risk of diabetes. Also, avoid sleeping too much, as sleeping too long because of sleep apnea is also linked to diabetes.

III. Maintain your weight
Dr (Col) Surender Kumar: Keep BMI (weight in kgs divided by square of height in metres) at around 22- 23. And waistline for males should be less than 90, and for females less than 80 cms.

Dr. P K D Shah: Maintain your body weight, that is, do not gain too much weight above the ideal body weight. And as far as possible, avoid abdominal fat which causes insulin insensitivity leading to DM type II. If obese, try and reduce at least a few kilograms in order to get a head start.

IV. Eat a healthy diet
Dr (Col) Surender Kumar: Small frequent meals i.e. total daily calories load is divided into 3 small meals and 3 snacks, roughly at three hourly intervals. Avoid excess of refined carbohydrates and fats.

Dr. P K D Shah: Eat a healthy diet with high fiber, low fat, optimal calories for age and complex carbohydrates. A healthy diet should have sufficient calories as required at a particular age and work type, it should be high in fiber and low in fat. Do not over-eat or over-drink. One must enjoy ones' meal or a drink or two once in a while but over-drinking and over-eating adds extra calories, which are converted into fat in the body causing insulin intolerance and thus obesity.

V. Self risk assessment & annual investigation
Dr (Col) Surender Kumar: Those with a family history of diabetes, or those who are overweight/obese, follow a sedentary life style, and have waistlines beyond 102 cms (for men) and 85 cms (for women), or a history of diabetes during pregnancy are at a greater risk of developing diabetes.

Dr. P K D Shah: If one has an underlying disease that must be cured such as hypertension or depression, then the risk of diabetes is higher. One must try to quit smoking in order to prevent DM. Annual investigations should be done for early diagnosis and preferably to investigate the disease in pre-diabetic stage in order to reverse the disease.

Strengthen your Heart

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 17:58:00 PDT

Padma Shri and Dr B C Roy National Awardee Dr K K Aggarwal, President, Heart Care Foundation of India of India advised people to take care of their heart. He gave few tips to do so.

Follow Dr. KK Aggarwal's 'Formula of 80' i.e. keep your pulse rate, lower blood pressure, fasting sugar, abdominal circumference and bad cholesterol levels all below 80. To achieve these, walk 80 minutes a day with a speed of 80 steps per minute; eat less - not more than 80 gm or 80 ml of caloric food; do 80 cycles of pranayams in a day, avoid alcohol and if one does drink, do not consume more than 80 ml in a day.

After the age of 30, get an annual medical checkup done with exercise treadmill test every three years.

Eat in moderation and take a variety of food consisting of seven colors and six tastes.

Avoid using trans fats. Trans fats increase bad cholesterol and reduce good cholesterol. Hydrogenated oil is an example of trans fat.

Avoid three 'whites' in your diet - white maida (refined flour0, white sugar and white rice - or consume only in minimum amounts. They are known to cause abdominal obesity, which is a risk factor for heart diseases.

Do not smoke or consume tobacco in any form as it increases the chances of heart attack, paralysis and erectile dysfunction.

Do not ignore any symptom, which is unusual, unexplained and is detected for the very first time.

Do not ignore any chest pain, burning or discomfort in the center of the chest which is diffuse in nature and lasts for more than 30 seconds.

If a heart attack is suspected, then one should chew 300 mg of water-soluble aspirin and immediately rush to the nearest heart hospital.

All heart patients should remember that sudden cardiac death is reversible in the first 10 minutes. For this, remember Dr. KK Aggarwal's 'Formula of 10' i.e. within 10 minutes of death, for the next 10 minutes, one should compress the chest with a speed of 10 x 10 = 100 per minute. This can revive more than 75% of the patients.

Heart patients too can lead a normal physical, mental and sexual life.

Presence of heart blockages in the heart does not mean that a person requires angioplasty or surgery. The indication for them is failure of adequate medical treatment to provide the wanted risk-free quality of life.

Following traditional Indian customs and rituals can help reduce chances of heart attack. The weekly fast of not consuming cereals can be adopted by all of us to reduce risk of metabolic syndrome, which develops due to insulin resistance because of eating a carbohydrate-rich diet, especially one that contains refined carbohydrates, on a daily basis.

Late to Bed, Early to Rise Way to Heart Attack

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 20:31:00 PDT

Sleeping for less than six hours a night boosts the risk of dying from a heart attack or stroke.

But beware -- those who have too much sleep are also more likely to suffer a heart attack, the European Heart journal warned.

While the extra slumber is unlikely to be the cause, long-term illnesses such as heart disease often make sufferers feel tired. So sleeping for longer than nine hours a night may be an early warning sign.

Francesco Cappuccio from the University of Warwick Medical School, who led the study, said: "The trend for late nights and early mornings is actually a ticking time bomb for our health , so you need to act now to reduce your risk..."

Researchers found that those who slept for less than six hours were almost 50 per cent more likely to suffer a heart attack and 15 per cent more at risk of strokes.

Not having enough sleep decreases the levels of leptin in our blood, which means we do not feel as satisfied after eating, the Daily Mail reports.

At the same time, it raises the levels of ghrelin, responsible for triggering our appetite, thus making us feel hungrier.

Poor sleepers tend to eat more and are more likely to be obese, so are at greater risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, which lead to heart attacks and strokes.

Experts recommend adults get at least six or seven hours' shut-eye a night to stay healthy.

Researchers looked at the sleeping habits of almost 475,000 participants from 15 previous studies across eight countries, including the UK, the US, Japan, Sweden and Germany.

6 Foods to Help You Have Great Sex

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Sat, 16 Jul 2011 04:15:00 PDT

They say sex is a great stressbuster. They are right because sexual activities has been found to relive the pressure of the burdens of life, ease stress, soothe chronic aches and pains, spur creativity and rev up the energy levels.

Experts say that anything that makes you feel good, alive and physically excited will make you feel as if you've shed years. And all these things are associated with sex.

You are probably aware of the basics of terrific sex, but let us suggest you a few aphrodisiacs which can add zing to your sex life.

Figs have been found to be brimming with minerals like magnesium, manganese and zinc and also Vitamin E. All of them can do wonders to spice up your sex life.

The flashy-red watermelons contain a substance called citrulline, which sends the body the signals to release arginine, which relaxes blood vessels. This produces an effect similar to Viagra. And need we give you details about what Viagra does?

You've tried whiskly, you've tried wine but didn't feel the buzz. Pick a bottle of champagne and feel the difference. It enters the bloodstream faster than the wine does, so make sure you don't drink too much of it. Many champagnes have been found to have the same amount of antioxidants as red wine.

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers can bring out the hotness in you. They help recreate the symptoms of arousal: flushed cheeks, a quiver on your tongue, and more kissable lips. They also up the heat in the body.

Cheese releases 10 times more endorphins than the great ol' aphrodisiac - Chocolate. It will help you set the right mood.

Chocolate has been your trusted friend when it comes to having a great sex. You just need to maintain the bond. Its aphrodisiac property has been ascribed to two chemicals. One, tryptophan, which is the building block of serotonin, a brain chemical involved in sexual arousal. And two, phenyethylamine, a stimulant.

So the kind of food we gorge upon can do wonders with our sex life. Right food can make you positively sexual.

To all the men who read this..please read fully and understand..

To all the women who read this.. An excellent article please read carefully..... and share with the boys you know.

This is a beautiful article:

The woman in your life...very well expressed...

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well.

Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are;
Who is earning almost as much as you do;

One, who has dreams and aspirations just as
you have because she is as human as you are;

One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your
Sister haven't, as she was busy in studies and competing in a system
that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements

One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life;

One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family ,name

One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1,
while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances,
environment and that kitchen

One, who is expected to make the tea, first thing in the morning and cook
food at the end of the day, even if she is as tired as you are, maybe more,
and yet never ever expected to complain; to be a servant, a cook, a mother,
a wife, even if she doesn't want to; and is learning just like you areas
to what you want from her; and is clumsy and sloppy at times and knows that
you won't like it if she is too demanding, or if she learns faster than you;

One, who has her own set of friends, and that includes boys and even meant her workplace too, those, who she knows from school days and yet is willing to put all that on the back-burners to avoid your irrational jealousy,unnecessary competition and your inherent insecurities;

One, who can be late from work once in a while when deadlines, just like yours, are to be met;

One, who is doing her level best and wants to make this most important,
relationship in her entire life a grand success, if you just help her some
and trust her;

One, who just wants one thing from you, as you are the only one she knows in your entire house - your unstained support, your sensitivities and most importantly - your understanding, or love, if you may call it.

But not many guys understand this.......

Please appreciate "HER"

I hope you will do....

Respect Her.

How to Deal with Negative People

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 11:10:00 PDT

Negative people can often be very mean and selfish in their remarks. The golden rule is to learn to ignore what they say completely.

- Before they start talking, it’s a good idea to start the conversation on a positive note and avoid topics that even skim the edges of anything negative.

- Do not make the mistake of asking them, ‘So what’s up?’ Chances are that there’s a lot in their case and they are about to unload it all on you.

- Focussing on all the good things in your life is a good way to deal with the negativity heaped by them.

- You are not responsible for the person’s problems in life. Do not make them your own, even though you are an attentive listener. Don’t feel guilty about someone else’s mess-ups.

- If a person is hurt, chances are that he might want to see you hurt too. So, avoid falling for the trap when he or she tries to get a reaction out of you by hurting you anyhow.

- Empathise, but be firm in telling the person that it’s about time that they start being more positive in life. Or subtly put across the name of a self-help book on positivity and recommend it to the person.

The 30-Day Rule

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 05:54:00 PDT

The 30-day rule is a simple method to control impulse spending. Here’s how it works:

    Whenever you feel the urge to splurge — whether it’s for new shoes, a new videogame, or a new car — force yourself to stop. If you’re already holding the item, put it back. Leave the store.

When you get home, take a piece of paper and write down the name of the item, the store where you found it, and the price. Also write down the date.

Now post this note someplace obvious: a calendar, the fridge, a bulletin board. (I use a text file on my computer.)

For the next thirty days, think whether you really want the item, but do not buy it.

If, at the end of a month, the urge is still there, then consider purchasing it. (But do not use credit to do so.)

That’s all there is to it. But it’s surprisingly effective. The 30-day rule works especially well because you aren’t actually denying yourself — you’re simply delaying gratification. This rule has another advantage: it gives you a chance to research the item you want to purchase. This can save you from grief.

Love Has No Boundaries

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 07:24:00 PDT

Love has no boundaries and passes over borders, thoughts and imagination. Have you ever imagined that you…hopeless of having a better existence, you that considered love useless and had a bad impression of today's youth…can end up in a relationship with a man 20 years younger than you?

Now you are the one with butterflies in the stomach, you want to admire the sun; you hold his hand and dream of romantic walks in the park.

You feel guilty because he is younger. You are a bit frustrated because you do not know how long this relationship will last and because you are sure that a younger woman will take him away from you.

If love is without limits, it means that everything is possible and he can love you as much as you love him. Maybe he has the same fears: he may think that any time a mature man can impress you, or that he is below your expectations.

You think about gossips. Yes, people gossip. You think about your friends and family. Why? Don't you deserve to be loved? So what if he is younger? Maybe he is the one you need, the chosen one. He makes you feel great with his smile, jokes and surprises.

Why let others step into your life? You can make your own decisions and you are ready to assume responsibilities for your actions. You have the right to be happy, just like anybody else, even if happiness is different in the opinion of others. If other people would care about you, they would not be judgmental. If they knew that this man who is younger than you is the reason of your well-being, they should leave you alone, not judge you and be by your side.

Do not be afraid others gossip and try to do your best to be happy and have a nice existence.

What Is The Middle Child Syndrome?

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 07:17:00 PDT

Middle Child Syndrome

Middle child is the second born child in a family of more than two children. As much as our parents impact the shaping of our over-all personality, so do our siblings. Sometimes, the middle child suffers from a lack of belonging and constantly strives to get his/her parent’s attention. There is a feeling of insecurity in the middle child, because he/she feels ignored between the eldest and youngest sibling and this is called the Middle Child Syndrome. The birth order does make a difference to the parent’s psychology, as a lot of importance is attached with the birth of the first and the last child. The article explores what exactly is a Middle Child Syndrome, apart from the symptoms that a child suffering from it exhibits.

Symptoms Of Middle Child Syndrome

Lack Of Belonging
The middle child may not feel a sense of belonging to the family in the same way as other children. He/she struggles to be close to the family because of feeling ignored and ‘unwanted’. Sometimes, the middle child also feels sandwiched between the other siblings. It is important as a parent, to not let such feelings overcome their middle child.

Low Self-Esteem
Since a middle child feels that he/she is basically unwanted, he/she may have a very low self-esteem. There is nothing worse than to feel not needed and it can badly affect even an adult. For a child, it has a serious bearing on his/her overall development. Such a child will continue to suffer from a lack of self-belief on growing up. A middle child’s confidence may be shaky due to the feeling of being overlooked upon, by his/her parents.

Reclusion
It is, usually, seen that a child suffering from middle child syndrome is not too extrovert or social. There is a tendency among such children to become loners in life. They feel like an outsider in the family and therefore, become a recluse in other areas of life as well. Such a child believes in spending time with him/her self rather than others, because he/she feels uncared for. And so, he/she tries to create a world of his/her own and lean on his/her own self for support.

No Sense Of Direction
The children suffering from middle child syndrome also lack a sense of direction. There is certain disillusionment among them and they struggle to find the real direction of their life. They are not comfortable confiding in their parents, not even in their brothers or sisters. This is not to say that all middle children turn out to be failures in their life. Only those suffering from this syndrome have a tendency to lack any direction in life.

Trust Issues
A middle child, on feeling ignored and un-loved, may have trust issues. As a child, we first lean to trust and completely rely on our parents, but a middle child fails to do that and consequentially, faces such issues. Such a child has difficulty in opening up and confiding in anyone. However, not every child suffering from middle child syndrome has a distrusting attitude. Sometimes, such a child is pining to trust and lean on someone.

Daily Interaction with Partner is Healthy

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 21:05:00 PDT

A study has found that the way one interacts with his or her partner in daily life can affect the person's long-term mental and physical health.

In one of the first studies to look at the longer term, Professor Angela Hicks investigated the physiological and emotional changes taking place in couples the day after conflict occurred, specifically taking into account the differing styles of emotional attachment between participating partners.

"We are interested in understanding links between romantic relationships and long term emotional and physical well-being. Our findings provide a powerful demonstration of how daily interpersonal dealings affect mood and physiology across time," she said.

Hicks' study involved a sample of 39 participants in established co-habiting relationships, who were tested for the association between conflict (assessed with end-of-day diaries) and sleep disturbance, next-morning reports of negative affect on mood, and cortisol awakening response.

Prior to testing, the emotional attachment styles of all participants were measured according to how anxious they were in their relationship, and to what degree they avoided emotional attachment.

The study found that all participants across the sample as a whole experienced sleep disruption after conflict, bearing out the adage "don't go to bed angry".

There was however the greatest degree of sleep disruption amongst individuals who were highly anxious in their relationship. The lowest degree of sleep disruption was found amongst individuals who strongly avoided emotional attachment.

Conflict was also found to have repercussions for next-day mood. However, some participants found their mood negatively affected more than others.

Individuals more at ease with emotional attachment found their mood was affected more than individuals less comfortable being intimate with others.

The researchers found no general association between conflict and the next morning cortisol awakening response (a physiological, stress-related preparation for the day ahead).

Their findings showed a particular association only, amongst women who were highly anxious in their relationships, whose cortisol response was significantly dampened on days after conflict.

The results of this study have significant implications for the greater understanding of how routine relationship experiences influence emotional and physical health over time.

"We already know from prior research that people in stable, happy marriages experience better overall health than do those in more conflicted relationships," Hicks said.

"We can now further conclude from our current research that individuals who are in insecure relationships are more vulnerable to longer-term health risks from conflict than are others," she added.

The study has been published in the journal Personal Relationships.

Rules of Spying on a Partner

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Wed, 13 Apr 2011 02:39:00 PDT

Are you a serial snooper who just can’t help but spy on your partner? You may like the drama, but are you prepared for the consequences? Read these commandments to know if you’re ready to snoop in love.

But all said and done, even if both of you aren’t sharing every intimate detail of your individual lives with each other, think twice before you put on your snooping glasses. As exciting as snooping may sound, it can actually bring about a rift in your relationship that you wouldn’t have expected.

Ask yourself a question. If you partner always suspects you, however hard you try to make them understand that you’re not a lying cheat, would you really stop yourself when someone really attractive flirts with you, and wants you real bad? Sometimes, we end up making our own partner fall into an affair in our constant pursuit of loyalty and insecurity.

So think twice before you snoop. After all, are you willing to jeopardize everything in your relationship just because you’re an insecure person? Think before you decide to cross the boundary and snoop. It hurts to find out that you’re not being trusted in love. And definitely, you too will pay the price, whether you find something fishy or otherwise.

The Three Commandments of Snooping

#1 You will always find something you wish you hadn’t

As annoying and miserable as this first commandment may sound, it does nothing to change the fact that it’s true. Almost all the time you snoop, you are bound to find something or the other that you may not like, even if it is an insignificant thing.

#2 You will get caught if you don’t find anything important

This commandment is the loophole to the first one, but can be just as disastrous as the first one. If you’re snooping and trying to find any evidence of a secret shag, but don’t find anything, then it is certain that your partner would walk into the very room as you feverishly grope through their underwear drawers.

#3 You will regret snooping

A wet blanket couldn’t feel any wetter! Every time you snoop, you will always end up regretting, whether you find something or otherwise. If you find something, you might regret having found such a dark secret. On the other hand, if you don’t, you would just be frustrated or you would regret having doubted your partner. Either ways, there will be regrets.

Snooping comes with its own trick-or-treat bag of the good and the bad. What you may find is completely left to chance or assumption. But the consequences of snooping are something that you may not always like.

Mental Deficiency

A noted psychiatrist was a guest at a blonde gathering, and his hostess naturally broached the subject in which the doctor was most at ease.

"Would you mind telling me, Doctor," she asked,
"how you detect a mental deficiency in somebody who appears completely normal?"

"Nothing is easier," he replied.
"You ask a simple question which anyone should answer with no trouble. If he hesitates, that puts you on the track."

"What sort of question?", the blonde asked.

"Well, you might ask him, 'Captain Cook made three trips around the world and died during one of them. Which one?'", said the doctor with a smile.

The blonde thought a moment, then said with a nervous laugh, "You wouldn't happen to have another example would you? I don't know the answer to this as well. I must confess I don't know much about history myself."

Do Not Let Situations Or Condition to Lose Life

An eagle's egg was placed in the nest of a prairie chicken.
The egg hatched and the little eagle grew up thinking
it was a prairie chicken.
The eagle did what the prairie chickens did.

It scratched in the dirt for seeds. It clucked and cackled.
It never flew more than a few feet because that is what
the prairie chickens did.

One day he saw an eagle flying gracefully and majestically
in the open sky. He asked the prairie chickens:
"What is that beautiful bird?" The chickens replied,
"That is an eagle.

He is an outstanding bird, but you cannot fly like him
because you are just a prairie chicken."

So the eagle never gave it a second thought,
believing that to be the truth. He lived the life of and
died a prairie chicken, depriving himself of his heritage
because of his lack of vision.

What a waste! He was born to win,
but was conditioned to lose.
Do not let people or situations or even yourself
condition you to lose in life

Do Tarot Readings Work?

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 19:21:00 PDT

Tarot cards can't predict - strange as it may sound, it's not like the cards have answers to all your questions. It's more about signs and symbols that give you indications about what's going on in your inner spiritual space.
So if you ask a tarot reader, 'Who will I marry,' the most likely answer you might get is 'look within!' Instead, ask something like, 'How will my personal relationships progress.'

Ask the right questions

Where can tarot help you - in every aspect of life, to put it in one line. When you feel like you aren't getting anywhere - be it work or a relationship or a general outlook in life, a tarot reading can help suggest new directions that you can take.

New venture

A tarot reading can help you get a clearer perspective on what factors you need to consider before taking the plunge into a new project or a new relationship. You could also go in for a reading close to your birthday or another significant event of your life so the tarot can suggest how you can begin a new phase of your life.

Uncertain nature

Tarot can be effective with offering a different view to an old situation. For instance, if you don't know where your current relationship is headed, a reading could throw some light onto what you really want, and then you can decide on a future course of action accordingly.

Looking within

A tarot reading can give you a lot of insight into your own self - how you really are, how do you view the world and what your deep seated aspirations from life might be. If you're looking for a better understanding of your own self, a tarot reading might be an effective beginning.

Subjective arts like tarot readings can hardly be judged on parameters of accuracy. Their effectiveness is entirely based on your belief! And belief is the science of mind.

Cedrick is an Ophiuchus

noreply@blogger.com (JHARE) — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 17:29:00 PST

The 13th sign of the zodiac, unlike the other 12 signs is actually associated with a real person. In the 27th Century BCE in Ancient Egypt lived a man known as Imhotep. Imhotep was known as ‘Aesclepius’ by the Ancient Greeks, however the attributes are the same under either name.

The Rod of Asclepius is often used as a symbol for Ophiuchus.

One of Imhoteps abilities was healing and it is said that it was he who introduced it to mankind. His accomplishments also included a wide knowledge of medicine. The serpent or snake symbol which is still used today to symbolize the medical profession was also used to represent Imhotep. Below is a list of attributes associated with the Serpent Holder, Imhotep i.e Aesclepius. The descriptions below are associated with the 13th sign - Ophiuchus.

The Ophiuchus symbol used in Japanese astrology.

Many people are envious of this subject as he progresses well throughout life.
A seeker of wisdom and knowledge
Many people are jealous of this person
Tends to go for the more flamboyant in dress sense, favouring bright colours.
Authority looks upon him well.
Would make a great architect or builder.
Number 12 is this persons lucky number.
This person will have a big family but leave home at an early age.
This is the Zodiac as some astrologers believe it should be:

ARIES = APRIL 19 - MAY 13
TAURUS = MAY 14 - JUNE 19
GEMINI = JUNE 20 - JULY 20
CANCER = JULY 21 - AUG 9
LEO = AUGUST 10 - SEPTEMBER 15
VIRGO = SEPTEMBER 16 - OCTOBER 30
LIBRA = OCTOBER 31 - NOVEMBER 22
SCORPIO = NOVEMBER 23 - NOVEMBER 29
OPHIUCHUS = NOVEMBER 30 - DECEMBER 17
SAGITTARIUS = DECEMBER 18 - JANUARY 18
CAPRICORN = JANUARY 19 - FEBRUARY 15
AQUARIUS = FEBRUARY 16 - MARCH 11
PISCES = MARCH 12 - APRIL 18

I’m not sure myself about the qualities of that of Ophiucus, but perhaps if you mix Scorpio with Sagittarius you may come up with something along the right lines.
