Life logs.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

I failed in some subjects in exam, but my friend passed it all. Now he is an engineer at Microsoft, and I am the owner of Microsoft

-Bill Gates.

The great minds in the world always have a different attitude towards life; the best take away from their lives that I have taken is they lead a life only for themselves and few others whom they consider very worry about. Other than that they don't worry much about others which is good because unless you are focused and stay away from too much distractions it’s hard to reach your goal.

Wanted to talk about record keeping or popularly called in the US as log maintenance.

Log keeping first came into practice since the ancient times and in modern times shipping industry of the 18^th century was very famous for log keeping. The trading that used to happen on daily basis of goods and essential commodities between various places was entered in the shipping docks by log keepers which was a huge profession, in fact the great Indian genius Srinivas Ramanujan was himself a log keeper.

The Howard university released a paper few years ago highlighting how log-keeping has helped in the field of history all over the world, the primary observation is from the statistical aspect, there is a field called as quantitative research, which is headed by group of researchers called as statistical analysts, also called as regression scientists , who compare historical data and project graphs on the future .for example gathering the latest fuel consumption of a region and predicting how many more years the oil well will be alive.

There are various fields where record keeping is very much important, which is also a source of evidence even for generations to come.

At a personal level I urge all of you to start writing journals so that we can keep a log of our own lives which will help you to  improve as a person, know what mistakes we are doing  and stop repeating them, I am writing journals from the time I was a school going boy.

In one word I can say my journals are like windows in my life where you peep in and see what's happening in your present life and what happened some time ago in your own life. It is the best personality developer and a great friend.

Writing   journals looks easy but after a busy day the determination required to complete your journal before you sleep is challenging!

Let us start writing journals and accelerate the culture of log keeping.

Thanks for your time.

Thoughts and speech.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.

-Will Rogers.

Well the week is about to end and start again. The mind game of the ending Fridays and the beginning Mondays is a challenge for a person who is stuck in a routine schedule.

We all have been gifted with this wonderful power of thought and speech.

From early childhood we start learning and understanding the world around us and that also include learning the sounds around us and try to mimic those sounds which will later turn into learning your mother tongue and later other languages.

It is said by many scientists that,  we get best ideas about what we are  thinking or we want to think if the language used by you for thinking is noble and you are proficient in that language.

Few years back I had seen a documentary about the Drake equation one of the scientists asked  , can you think without words or dialectal?! That is a very valid question which will open up a thought which is fundamentally we cannot think without words.

A research was conducted with some people, this type of research is usually called a sampling test, they were exposed to random pictures like trees, animals, buildings their family the planets and so on.

One universal inference they observed was that the vocal lobe of the brain was very active and the thought process was coupled with the vocal lobe.

They concluded that, in the process of thinking and expressing the thought takes about 0.65 seconds and in this narrow window of time there is a possibility that you say thinks before the thought process is complete.

This was one of the milestone discoveries in the field of applied psychological sciences.

The take away from this research is that we sometime speak things which don't make any sense and this purely natural as explained earlier , but still in the same study there were people who analysed the pictures for a fairly long time and understood them better which confirms that they helped the thought process to complete.

Dear friends,  in the same away we need to understand life better and start taking conversations into a pleasant ending instead of a opened-end question or a filthy argument which does not take us anywhere and also spoil the relation and rapport with that person.

Avoid  talking if you don't understand the logic behind about what you are  going to speak allow your thoughts to flow and try to not to curb thoughts with your speech, that will also help you develop patience which majority of lack and also help you stop feeling empty headed.

Looking forward for your feedback and thanks a lot for your valuable time.

Hello readers good afternoon!

Life could be limitless joy, if we would only take it for what it is, in the way it is given to us.

-Leo Tolstoy.

Some time back, I was on my way to a place was riding my moped the weather also was beautiful,  suddenly I could sense something unusual was happening with me, and just trying to understand this unusual feeling, which never flashed to me as to what was wrong? Finally I just ignored it and reached my destination.

Later that day I realised that I had left my documents at home which I was supposed to take to that meeting, it was too late and I could not go back home and get it,  somehow managed the meeting without the essentials.

But what amazed me is that the warning signal which was given by my brain when it sensed that I missed something at home and was driving me towards what I had missed like a compass which guides a sailor, but since I did not pay attention or did not show much interest, my brain got confused and thought may be everything is fine and stopped those palpitations.

Our body is a chemical and electrical factory which is controlled by hormones and neural impulses and electrical signals and the brain is the decision centre for all this. It is a leader which decides which force has to deploy at what time in each second of our life.

I was reading this amazing book by Daniel Goleman on Emotional intelligence which reveals some amazing facts and correlates our actions and  body physics with our emotions, I was very happy when I read this example: when you are hungry the brain fills your hands with strength as the early man used to used his hands to kill or hunt his prey and then eat it, in the same way if you are in fear your brain gives you more strength in your legs so that you can run from your predator.

The most amazing part is that even though we are the most evolved species and most intellectuals but our bodies,  still follows some pre-historic logic which is surprising.

Even thinking and our actions work in the same way, you sweat when you are scared or you get worked and up and strong when you are angry.

All these actions that the brain initiates was not learnt by you but, you were born with it and it has taken many years to evolve over a period of time.

We must all read about this relation, which will help us understand our own actions which we will surprised to know about.

The famous scientist William Harvey who discovered blood circulation in the human body said that, the better we understand our bodies the better we live.

So let us start understanding our body and behaviour which will help us solve our stress related issues which we suffer as result of our mechanical lives.

Thanks for your time.

The smile.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing great.

True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.

 - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

They say that soldiers are very tough people who are the least emotional people in the world. But has anybody realized the sacrifices he is ready for, yes his life is what he is ready to sacrifice and he is the most emotional person in the world because he takes all the risks in this world for the sake of his mother land, and I think that is the true test of a person’s emotional quotient.

So emotions, do they play such an important role in our lives, the answer is definitely an yes, you know man is called the most advanced species  in this world only because of his ability to think and express feelings, I want to narrate a small story today which will help us understanding  the importance of emotions in our life.

Once upon time in India there lived a man called Mr.Smiles even though his name was smiles the irony was that he never smiled and he was the biggest moan of his time.

Many happy people ground him always tried to make him feel happy or lure him to laugh at the best jokes possible but were not successful.

OK…. about Mr. Smiles well he was not a poor man at all he had a large estate and a loving family he was well educated as well, but still he could not smile. The secret behind his miserable face could not be cracked by almost all the people around him.

His family were always unhappy that, He was the only person who was not happy with anything. Fed up with his behavior his wife met their family doctor and asked him if her husband was suffering from any psychological disease or was he a lunatic.

The doctor replied that he was fine both psychologically and physically, but he is still trying to figure out the reason behind his sadness. The doctor thought of a solution as he too felt hurt seeing the anxiety on the face of Smiles wife.

So the next day he sent a press reporting team to meet Smiles wife, at the same time he had instructed his wife about what to do next. So this is what happened after they met each other.

Wife asked the press team to come inside and called Smiles and told this interview would be published in this week’s issue of a an eminent magazine, Smiles was as usual in his sadistic mode, Then one of the journalist asked Smiles “Sir we would like you to take an interview with you today” smiles was surprised and answered in a polite way “certainly can we start now?” so the interview started.

Interviewer asked some general questions like how does he spend his day, his eating habits, his likes and dislikes and so on, and the interview went on well.

When it was about to end, Smiles was asked the most awaited question by his family. “Why are you dull and gloomy always”?

Smiles was confused and surprised to hear to this question and replied, “ is it so?, I don’t think so from my childhood I have been like this and till this day no one asked me this!

So the interview asked him “ Dear sir people are very much dejected with you and have tried all possible ways to make you feel happy and make you smile but that never happened, so again I am repeating the question why are you not happy?”

Smiles told that he never felt that he has to smile as he knew that this life is a cycle, when we peddle up it is birth and when we peddle down it is death why should I be in this illusion of just feeling happy for the misery I am going to suffer on the day on this earth, so I have prepared myself for my death since my birth.

The reporter was furious and replied “I never knew that you were such a big a fool! In that case why are you living and wasting the resources of the earth if you know that you are going to die one day let that day come today, and suddenly tried to strangle Smiles who cried for help, at that moment the interviewer stopped and asked Mr. Smiles “did you realize how much you love yourself? If you love yourself so much why you don’t show it on your face. Hearing this for the first time in his life Mr Smiles, smiled and was amazed by the feeling for him it was like coming out of a dark tunnel.

There are many Mr.Smiles around us who don’t know how to react with people who act simple grumpy with everyone and crying inside for wired reasons and assumptions which they are only not sure about actually that is illusion.

What is the point of acting indifferent with everyone around you? Each day is very precious we have to aim to be happy and make people happy around us, that is the only to make your soul happy and we consider our souk as God himself, so let us make that change and be happy and make your family and friends happy, try to keep rapport with all the people you know and the least fights possible.

All the best in this effort and have a great weekend.

Something new.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

Do something as if you were to die tomorrow, you will never fail.
-Steve jobs.

OK! Here comes 2016, I would like to wish you all a good year ahead.
Though there is a buzz on this new year, partying and the celebrations to be frank I don't feel so hazy and  jubilant about it, because what really matters is that how we could contribute to this world as well as ourselves and make it a better place to live in.

The word 'new' brings hope in everyone, when I was young if someone gets me a toy or a something like a book I used to sleep with it that day. I am sure many of you would have done that.

It is a fact that we see, hear and learn something new reach day approximately twenty new things a day, this may include an incident, or you learnt to reach a place through a different road, what is this something new?

I was reading a book on word power, in this book it says that there are some words in the world hearing which there will be a out-burst of neurological impulses in the brain, these words may be cheerful ones or the sad ones .I was surprised to find out that the word 'new' holds the record for highest the impact it has on the brain.

We all like doing something new in life, and we need to start doing it as early as possible.
We should all understand and be aware we have only one life, let us put it to the best use towards spreading knowledge, happiness and helping the deserving.
Many words prefixed with new bring a smile on our face.

We also become mentally stronger and more interactive with the environment and people when we try to venture into unknown roads.

New creations and innovations have made this world a very dynamic place to stay in, let us innovate for good and try to make this world a better place to live.
In the mood of the holiday season I wish you all success.

I pray the almighty and thank him for the beautiful earth he gave us and request all of you to please start thinking about our part in saving the little left natural ecosystems and habitats.

Welcome to 2016!

Thanks for your time have a great weekend ahead.
