Learning is an unending process, we can learn from trivial
things. Nothing is unimportant in learning. Source may be small but it is
important if it gives knowledge and "Knowledge is Power".
The acorn barnacle is a little shelled animal that fastens
itself to the hulls of boats. It has an incredible trait: It secretes an
adhesive so powerful that a very thin film just a few thousandths of an inch
thick has a shear strength of about 7,000 pounds per square inch! Ask anyone
that has tried to remove them from a boat hull how difficult the task was! Now
you may be asking: "Okay, Vijay. What's the point?" In a word, the
point is: persistence. Just as the acorn barnacle has the unusual ability to stick
to things, you must learn to persist in your career. Never give up too soon.
Yes, you have to work, work and work, but not everyone that tries, of course,
succeeds
The Advice given by People,
1.
Throw out nonessential numbers. This
includes age, weight and height. Let the doctor worry about them. That is why
you pay him/her.
2.
Keep only cheerful friends. The
grouches pull you down.
3.
Keep learning. Learn more about the
computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle
mind is the devil's workshop." The devil's name is Depression.
4.
Enjoy the simple things. When the
children are young, that is all that you can afford. When they are in college,
that is all that you can afford. When you are on retirement, that is all that
you can afford.
5.
Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh
until you gasp for breath. Laugh so much that you can be tracked in the store
by your distinctive laughter.
6.
The tears happen. Endure, grieve,
and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be
alive while you are alive. Don't put out a mailbox on the highway of death and
just wait in residence for your mail.
7.
Surround yourself with what you
love, whether it is family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Your home is your refuge.
8.
Cherish your health. If it is good,
preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can
improve, get help.
9.
Don't take guilt trips. Go to the mall,
the next county, a foreign country, but not to guilt country.
10.
Tell the people you love that you
love them, at every opportunity; and always remember . . . "Life is not
measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath
away."
The THEY SAY . . . It takes a minute to find a special
person an hour to appreciate them A day to love them But then an entire life to
forget them. It's a short message to let people know that you'll never forget
them. Take the time to live!!!
