<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Shweta covered a distance of 10 km in one hour. The Akash covered
the same distance in an hour and a half.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Which of the two is fit?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Or<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Whose fitness is good?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Of course, the answer will be Shweta.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">If Shweta completes this distance on the prepared track,
what if the Akash is said to be walking on a rock-and-dirt path ???<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Then the answer to all will be the sky Akash.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But when we found out that Shweta is 50 years old, Akash is
25 years old ??<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Then everyone's answer will be Shweta again.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But we also found out that Akash weighs 140 kg while Shweta
weighs 65 kg.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Again the answer to all will be the Akash<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">As we learn more and more about Akash and Shweta, our
opinions about who is better differ and our decisions change.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">The same is true of life.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">We form our opinions about everyone very openly and quickly,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">So that we cannot give justice to ourselves and others.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone gets different opportunities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone's life is different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone's resources are different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone's problems are different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone's solutions are different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Everyone's thinking is different.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Therefore,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Never compare your health, wealth, situation, or quality of
life with anyone<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">But do self-examination.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Question: How can I be happy, when the future holds little promise, and you fear you haven't lived the kind of life you can be content with?<br />
<br />
Answer: In June, 2003, I Googled what would happen if I put three unlit cigarettes in a cup of water overnight. Then drank the water in the morning. The idea is that nicotine is a lethal poison. When you smoke it you burn most of the poison away. But if it drains into the water…The theory was I'd be dead of a heart attack in sixty seconds. My fear was that I would I have brain damage instead. </div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
I've known people with brain damage. That would be no good. It was three in the morning. I knew I was going to go broke. My office had papers and dead computers and dead books and the cards of dead friends everywhere. The IRS letter was next to my computer. I had an incomparable loneliness in all of my relationships. All the work and hours I had put in had added up to this dirty office and no money.<br />
<br />
Or maybe there was the other time. My whole life added up to being escorted by police to a hotel room to spend the night. "To calm down." Or the time I was thrown out of graduate school. Or the time I was asked by my boss, "don't you think it's important to show pride in your work?" Or the times I was cheated on.<br />
<br />
If I really want to be honest I could say I threw a burning iron at someone and that's when the police came. But perhaps that would seem too much. If I wanted to truly be correct, I could look back at the past and say I did everything they told me to do, all the secret agents that wanted to destroy me: friends, parents, colleagues, bosses, lovers, and here I am – look where I ended up? And where did they all go? Back to their safe houses, in the James Protection Program so I never see them again.<br />
<br />
I could sit here all night until daybreak talking about the past, which is gone forever. And the future, which will never exist and yet seems so real. Maybe the economy will end us. Or global warming. Or Greece. or war. Or we lose our jobs. You and me. We can be scared all night together. And who will survive when the world turns Mad Max and rogue skinheads will kill us for our gasoline?<br />
<br />
The future just a bleak desert, mirages of water only lasting a few seconds before I realize my thirst won't be quenched. May never be quenched again.<br />
<br />
One thing you forgot to mention in your question, my friend, is the present. Right now. The only thing we know exists. The most important thing of all and we left it out. I was googling cigarettes in water when I could've been looking in on my sleeping one year old. I could've kissed her forehead. I could've been grateful to be given such a magical moment. Then I could've called my father one month before his fatal stroke and told him I loved him. Instead I never spoke to him again.<br />
<br />
I gave up that magical moment forever because of worries about the future and because of something I did in the past.<br />
<br />
The magical moments only exist right now. They will never exist again.<br />
<br />
The way we miss them is when we focus on the past. Or we try to drink from the mirage in the distant future. Flying unicorns could be all around us but our eyes are glazed over with cataracts of the dismal future and bleaker past.<br />
<br />
I would say, "if only this company sells, I'll be happy." And then I was never more miserable. And then later I would say, "I blew it so bad I ruined everyone's life and not just my own." And then I was never more miserable.<br />
<br />
If only I had left out both those statements out I never would've been more happy.<br />
Abundance doesn't exist only "after X, Y, Z happens". Happiness doesn't exist because "I already did A, B, and C".</div>

<br />
<b>Money is an Illusion, Retirement is a Joke</b><br />
<br />
Your wealth is not a measure of how much you have, but how much you are capable of generating in every moment. If you had won a million dollars in the lottery but are capable of generating zero dollars, you wealth is virtually zero.<br />
<br />
Wealth is what you have left when all your money has been taken from you. That is why people who are truly wealthy never become poor even after they have lost all their money. They are able to create money on demand. The secret of wealth is creation and not possession.<br />
<br />
A poor person who is incapable of generating income, but happens to win a million dollars, is still a poor person with a million dollars. A rich person who is capable of generating lots of money, but happens to lose all his money, is still a rich person with no money.<br />
<br />
Money does not make you rich. It is the power to obtain wealth that makes you rich. A million dollars in the hands of someone without power to create wealth, will soon become nothing. In the hands of someone with power, it never runs out.<br />
<br />
Money Is An Illusion<br />
Money is an illusion because it is not a thing in itself. Money is a representation of something else. It is an external symbol that manifest from the inner world of creativity and intention. The manifestation is complete with some form of action involved. It is only an illusion when there is a lot of money or there is no money. A person capable of generating zero dollars may possess the illusion of a million dollars, while a person capable of generating a million dollars may possess the illusion of money being run out.<br />
<br />
When you are capable of creating money, the supply is inexhaustible. Whatever wealth that is manifested is temporary and will soon shrink with inflation until it is next to nothing. It is only the act of re-creation that sustains the presence of a particular thing in the visible world.<br />
<br />
Whatever you hold in your hand is subjected to death and decay. Old things become obsolete and it is only through constant renewal that enables anything to live on continually. Whatever stops creating, ceases to live.<br />
<br />
It is a lunacy of people of the world to make lots of money to last them the rest of their lives, so that they can retire and never have to work to make any more money. Why retire when you should enjoy making money or enjoy doing fulfilling work that makes you money?<br />
<br />
Doing something in order to stop doing it implies that the very thing you are doing is not enjoyable. Isn't it such a meaningless way to live life? The reason why this is so, is because many people do not even know how to live their lives correctly.<br />
<br />
Retirement Is A Joke<br />
The idea of retirement is a joke. The moment you retire, you stop contributing and generating. It doesn't matter how rich you seem to be by the amount of money you have. When you stop contributing and generating, you are virtually a bankrupt. You may have a lot of money in the bank to live on for the remainder of your probable lifespan, but if the money disappeared overnight, you are financially dead. If you somehow managed to get eternal life on earth, the very concept of retirement will disappear completely.<br />
<br />
Life is always in motion and that which is flowing shall live. Money has to flow in and out of your life in order to sustain your life. You cannot live without spending and you cannot spend without earning. Cash flow is the core diagnosis of any financial system. Whenever your income exceeds your expenses, you are growing steadily richer every day. Whenever your expenses exceed your income, you are growing steadily poorer every day. Therefore the money wise will always keep the inflow going steady.<br />
<br />
We either progress or regress, we never stand still. You are either growing or dying. The moment you retire, you are as good as dead. The purpose of life is to create. When a person retires, they stop creating and stop living. That is why people who retire tend to pass away in a very short span of time. They lose the purpose of remaining here on earth and therefore their subconscious mind soon brings their physical life to an end. It's insanity that people work only to retire and then to die without having lived.<br />
<br />
It is also an illusion that people have in mind about creating wealth to retire and have the freedom to do what they enjoy. The idea of retirement and freedom should start from day one. You should start doing something you would do if you were already retired. That is what life is for. If you do something that you truly enjoy and most desire to do, you will never work a single day of your life and you will never retire because you are already as good as retired. You are completely free when you realize this truth.<br />
<br />
Since wealth is only a reflection of the value that you generate in this world, you never want to stop generating it. That is why there are very wealthy people who continue to do the work they do although they have more than enough money to retire and live on for many lifetimes over. They enjoy doing what they do because it is not work, but it is their life. They seek to generate value for the world for as long as they live. They are truly expressing their inner wealth as infinite and inexhaustible in their outer world.<br />
<br />
Strive to be a person of value and generation rather than a person of riches and success. If you are generating more value in this world than you are consuming, you are already rich and a success. Every value that you consume should be for the purpose of further increasing the value you can generate.<br />
<br />
This is how you multiply the current value of the world instead of degenerating it. As long as you are alive, your purpose is to generate. That is how you make the most out of your life. You constantly generate wealth.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://pravinthakur.com/" target="_blank">Pravin Thakur</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://loanatm.in/" target="_blank">Loan ATM</a></p></div>

<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
If you often lay awake, unable to put your mind to rest while you're tossing and turning, you're going to love what you're about to read, because I'm about to share with you one of the most powerful methods for quickly shutting off your mind, and drifting off to sleep.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
As you may already know, your mind must be in the Alpha brain-wave stage to fall asleep. This is the stage your mind enters you're still conscious, but your body and begin to relax. It enables your more rampant and conscious mind to turn off as you enter the realm of sleep.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
We all know how it feels... when you're lying awake in bed trying to fall asleep, it seems like your mind is running on hyper-speed. It's almost like you're thinking 10 times faster than when you're just normally awake and alert. In fact, if you experience this often, I can tell you for a fact that your mind IS working harder than it is when you're not trying to fall asleep, and there is a very good reason for it, here's why this happens...</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
I often teach a principle: "What you focus on expands." You see, your mind responds to focus, and it goes hand in hand with the law of momentum. What is the law of momentum? Quite simply:</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
"Energy in motion, tends to STAY in motion"</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br />"Energy stopped, tends to STAY stopped"</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
In other words, if you take action in your life, and begin to create success, you will experience more and more success every day. Success breeds success. On the other hand, if you sit your butt down on the couch to watch TV and say, "Aww, just one show, I'll only watch 1 show," very soon you'll be sitting there for 4 hours, and you'll watch 5 or 6 shows.</div>

<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The law of momentum is everywhere in life, in physics, with your body, and most importantly, with your "thoughts." You see, your thinking is very predictable, it all works on the law of focus and momentum. Your mind is like a big ball of potential thinking energy, just waiting for you to give it a direction to think wildly into...</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
It awaits and responds your every command. It's an exceptional tool. Except, most of us aren't very experienced at "controlling" this amazing tool. In fact, a lot people aren't even aware that they can control it! And this is where sleep problems come in.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Imagine your mind like a giant overflowing lake that's just waiting for an outlet to pour into... Slowly, when it finds an outlet, it begins with a trickle of water. That trickle turns into a stream. Then, that stream turns into a small river. Pretty soon, the small river is a giant unstoppable waterfall. Your thoughts work in the same way when you're "trying" to fall asleep.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
For example, you're laying in bed, frustrated, forcing your mind to not think. "I just want to get some sleep! Stop thinking. Okay, starting now... I won't think anymore. No think... nothing. My life is nothing... If only I would finally get motivated in my job maybe I would finally create the income to start traveling instead of dealing with these problems. Problems, how can I... Ahh, I'm thinking again! Stop!"</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
You get even more frustrated, and repeat the process over again in a few minutes. So how do you stop it? It's easy, you see, you can easily control your thinking, except most people aren't aware of the tools necessary!</div>

<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<b><span class="style7" style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 22px;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="style7" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 22px;">
Step 1: Awareness</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The first step to changing anything is becoming aware that it's happening, especially if it's your mind. Pretend your mind is racing, and you finally realize that you're thinking... Most people at this stage get extremely frustrated and "try" to force the mind into submission. It doesn't work! Why? Because, what you focus on expands. </div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The more frustrated you get, the more you're focusing on frustration, so you'll get even MORE frustration, and more thinking... on and on!</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
So the first step, is to simply become "aware" of the fact that you're thinking. Nothing more. When you notice that you're thinking, smile to yourself, and say, "I just noticed myself thinking... Interesting..."</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Now notice what happens inside of you when you do this... something VERY profound. If "I" just noticed "myself" thinking, perhaps there are really two completely separate identities running your life? There is the "I" and there is the "self."</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The "I", is the real you, the higher being, the "I" behind the mind, that runs the show, the heart, the soul, the true conscious being, the choice maker.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The "self" is the mind. If left to run the show, will run in endless circles until the edge of insanity.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The moment you do this, the moment you become "Aware" - you are no longer a slave to your mind. You have won. After you become aware... do nothing, just lay there for 3 seconds and notice how it feels to be present in who you really are, not the mind, but you, the "I" - there is a great feeling of peace behind that presence in the "I." Why? Because when you are aware like this, you're aware of the power of your choice making. You now have the power of choice.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style7" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 22px;">
Step 2: Relaxed Focus</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
"What you focus on expands." Now that you have become aware of your thinking. All you have to do is "direct" your mind into a place that will bring you into a deep, deep place of relaxation. Think about it, if before your mind will relentlessly race into any direction you give it, why not pick a direction that will give you peace and restful sleep?</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
But, most people don't know what that direction really is. It's really easy. If you focus on anything your body does or feels subconsciously, you will begin to become more and more realized. For example your breathing, the feeling of the pillow on your head, the sounds of nature outside (unless you live in the city), the warmth of your body. These are all things that happen, yet your conscious mind doesn't think about them.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
As you know, "What you focus on, expands"... So what would happen if you focused on something that is happening in your "subconscious"? That's right, your conscious thinking would diminish, and your subconscious mind would begin to take over the entire process of you falling asleep! It really is that simple, and it works every-time.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
The easiest one, is your breathing. And I promise you if you just try this tonight, you will be shocked when you wake up in the morning: "Wow! It worked!"</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style7" style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size: 22px;">
Step 3: Repetition</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
As I said, the easiest one to focus on is your breathing. In the beginning, you'll find this easier said than done. Let me walk you through it.</div>
<ul style="background-color: white;">
<li class="style54" style="font-size: 14pt;">Begin by taking your focus onto your breathing. Take a deep breath in. Hold it for a short while, and slowly exhale...</li>
<li class="style54" style="font-size: 14pt;">Count "1"</li>
<li class="style54" style="font-size: 14pt;">Breathe in again... hold it shortly, exhale slowly, and count...</li>
<li class="style54" style="font-size: 14pt;">"2"</li>
</ul>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Why count? Because I guarantee you, in the very beginning, you may find it challenging to hold your focus. In fact, you'll be surprised as you may not even make it to "5" the first time. This is because your conscious ever-thinking mind will butt in and interrupt. You may randomly go off into a barrage of thoughts again. If this happens, and it very well may, what do you do?</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Simply become aware, and begin focusing on your breathing again. Guess what happens? As you become aware, 2 or 3 times... your mind will give up. I guarantee you, beyond the shadow of a doubt, when you get to "10" or "15" breaths you will feel a wave of relaxation in your body. This is the silent "click" as your mind shifts from the high frequency Beta brain-waves into Alpha brain-waves. Your subconscious mind will do the rest!</div><div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"><br /></div><div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://pravinthakur.com/" target="_blank">Pravin Thakur</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: medium;"><a href="https://loanatm.in/" target="_blank">Loan ATM</a></p></div>

<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
When one becomes enlightened, laughter is almost a natural by-product; spontaneously it comes, for the simple reason that we have been searching and searching our lives for something which was already there inside. Our whole effort was ridiculous! Our whole effort was absurd. One laughs at the great cosmic joke.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
One laughs at the sense of humor that God must have or the existence: that we have it with us already and we are searching for it. One laughs at one’s own ridiculous efforts, long long journeys, pilgrimages, for something which was never lost in the first place.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
My own understanding is that there is nothing more valuable than laughter. Only laughter is left in you when you are total. In everything else you remain partial, even in lovemaking you remain partial. But when you have a really heartfelt belly laugh, all the parts of your being — the physiological, the psychological, the spiritual — they all vibrate in one single tune, they all vibrate in harmony. Hence, laughter relaxes. And relaxation is spiritual. Laughter brings you to the earth, brings you down from your stupid ideas of being holier-than-thou. Laughter brings you to reality as it is. The world is a play, a cosmic joke. And unless you understand it as a cosmic joke you will never be able to understand the ultimate mystery. I am all for jokes, I am all for laughter.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Everybody takes themselves and others seriously. That’s the way of the ego to exist. Start being a little more playful and you will see ego evaporating. Take life non seriously, as a joke — yes, as a cosmic joke. Laugh a little more. Laughter is far more significant than prayer. Prayer may not destroy your ego; on the contrary, it may make it holy, pious, but laughter certainly destroys your ego. When you are really in a state of laughter, have you observed? …the ego disappears for a moment. You are again a child, giggling. Again you have forgotten that you are special. You are no longer serious; for a moment you have removed your fixation.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
That’s why I love jokes…they are poison to your ego! You would like me to talk about serious things: astral planes and how many bodies men have, seven or nine, and how many chakras. And every day there are questions — esoteric, occult. These are the serious people. They have fallen in a wrong company! I am not serious at all. I don’t laugh with you because that is part of telling a joke: the person who tells it has to be very serious, he cannot laugh with you. All my laughter I have to do alone.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
But my approach towards life is utterly nonserious, playful, because in my experience this is how the ego disappears. Watch when you laugh: where is the ego? Suddenly you have melted, suddenly you are liquid, no more solid, but flowing. You are not old, experienced, knowledgeable. Listen to this joke and try to find out whether the ego remains or not.</div>

All buddhas have laughed when they awaken. Their laughter is like a lion’s roar. They laugh, not at you, they laugh at the whole cosmic joke. They lived in a dream, in a sleep, intoxicated completely by desire, and through desire they looked at the existence. Then it was not the real existence, they projected their own sleep on it.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
You are taking the whole existence as a screen, and then you project your own mind on it and you see things which are not there, and you don’t see things which are there. And the mind has explanations for everything. If you raise a doubt, the mind explains. It creates theories, philosophies, systems, just to feel comfortable, that nothing is wrong. All philosophies exist to make life convenient, so that everything looks okay, nothing is wrong — but everything is wrong while you are asleep.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
Nobody lives, nobody dies. Nothingness lives, nothingness dies. You are not. Have a good laugh at this situation. You are not and you exist. You are not and you are. This is the cosmic joke.</div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="style54" style="background-color: white; font-size: 14pt;">
You see a person and you smile. You smile for them. One should smile only for oneself. If others share, good. If nobody shares, good. But one should smile of one’s own accord. One should not laugh to make somebody else happy, because if you are not happy, you cannot make anybody happy. Even if you are happy, it is very difficult to make somebody else happy because it depends on that somebody else as to whether he will accept it or not. One should simply laugh of one’s own accord, and one should not wait for reasons to laugh. That too is absurd. Why wait for reasons? Life as it is should be enough of a reason to laugh. It is so absurd, it is so ridiculous. It is so beautiful…it is so wonderful. It is all sorts of things together. It is a great cosmic joke.</div>

The old crocodile was floating at the river’s edge when a younger crocodile swam up next to him,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I’ve heard from many that you’re the fiercest hunter in all of the river bottoms. Please, teach me your ways.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Awoken from a nice long afternoon nap, the old crocodile glanced at the young crocodile with one of his reptilian eyes, said nothing and then fell back asleep atop the water.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Feeling frustrated and disrespected, the young crocodile swam off upriver to chase after some catfish, leaving behind a flurry of bubbles. “I’ll show him”, he thought to himself.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Later that day the young crocodile returned to the old crocodile who was still napping and began to brag to him about his successful hunt,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I caught two meaty catfish today. What have you caught? Nothing? Perhaps you’re not so fierce after all.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Unphased the old crocodile again looked at the young crocodile, said nothing, closed his eyes and continued to float atop the water as tiny minnows muched away lightly at the algae on his underbelly.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Again, the young crocodile was angry he couldn’t get a response from the elder, and he swam off a second time upstream to see what he could hunt.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After a few hours of thrashing about he was able to hunt down a small crane. Smiling, he kept the bird in his jaws and swam back to the old crocodile, adamant about showing him who the true hunter was.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As the young crocodile rounded the bend, he saw the elder crocodile still floating in the same spot near the river’s edge.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
However, something had changed — a large wildebeest was enjoying an afternoon drink just inches near the old crocodile’s head.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In one lightning fast movement, the old crocodile bolted out of the water, wrapped his jaws around the great wildebeest and pulled him under the river.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Awestruck the young crocodile swam up with the tiny bird hanging from his mouth and watched as the old crocodile enjoyed his 500 lb meal.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The young crocodile asked him, “Please… tell me… how… how did you do that?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Through mouthfuls of wildebeest, the old crocodile finally responded,</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“I did nothing.”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Doing what matters vs. busy-bragging</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I was first building JotForm, I was a lot like the young crocodile — believing that I always had to be doing something to get results.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Back then, if someone would have told me that I would see greater results by spending more time doing nothing, I would have rolled my eyes and continued to chip away at my 16 hour day of work.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I thought that in order to be successful, I had to constantly be building, working, growing and developing the next thing — whatever that “thing” was.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All of us have a problem with busyness. But being busy and being successful are not one in the same. And, I think if we were to make “doing nothing” more of a priority, we might find ourselves catching more wildebeests versus measly catfish.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It worked for me, and I hope it can work for you, too.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, doing less or nothing at all is easier said than done, especially in a society that suffers from extreme busyness. Let’s take a closer look at our unhealthy obsession with staying busy…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The extreme busyness epidemic</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mankind has struggled with busyness since the beginning of time — or at least since 425 BC when Homer walked the Earth.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Odyssey tells the tale of the Lotus-eaters — a strange people that slothed around all day long eating lotus and doing nothing. And, what was stranger than fiction was that these people were content with their lives.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Homer wrote that after some of Odysseus’s crew ate the Lotus-eaters Lotus fruit (say that three times fast), they became like the Lotus-eaters — content, relaxed and a bit lethargic.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Terrified that if all of his men ate the lotus fruit they would be unmotivated to return home, Odysseus ordered the affected men to be tied to the ship benches and for the ship to set sail immediately.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It ’s interesting, Odysseus’s reaction to this feeling of “doing nothing” sounds similar to the Corporate CEO, the Startup Founder and the collegiate football coach we know today — hardcore workaholics that despise anything that might allude to a sense of complacency.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Though, they of course are just the tip of a much larger societal iceberg that feels frozen with fear at the thought of doing nothing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The world as a whole now measures value in terms of busyness versus quality of work. In many ways, it has become something of a status symbol to be “busy”.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
How many times have you heard or had a conversation like this…</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“How have you been lately, Mark?”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“Oh man, just insanely busy!”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
“That’s awesome to hear man?—?keep killing it!”</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We’ve grown to subconsciously measure a person’s worth based off how many hours they work, how much is on their plate and put simply — whether or not they are running around like a chicken with their head cut off.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4-hour Work WeekIn Tim Ferriss’s 4-Hour Work Week, he pokes fun at this idea by facetiously saying that if you want a promotion, you should appear to be more busy by working longer hours, scrambling around and constantly answering emails.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, sooner or later, all of us have to ask ourselves what our mission is — is it to be the busiest or is it to make the most impact?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, what’s fascinating is that when we look at some of the greatest minds to grace planet Earth, we see an interesting commonality — they all make time for doing nothing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The power of doing nothing at all</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Making time in your life to do nothing can be challenging — especially during the work week where we are constantly pummeled and bombarded with meetings, notifications and an ever growing list of tasks.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Busy founders have started implementing “Think Weeks” into their annual schedules — week long periods they spend reflecting, reading, thinking and living outside the all-encapsulating world that is running a business.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While young founders like Skillshare’s Mike Karnjanaprakorn have adopted this practice, as well as big names like Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and Tim Ferriss, it was Bill Gates who originally made the Think Week famous.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For many years while running Microsoft, Gates would retreat into week long Think Weeks twice a year — not vacations, but actual periods of time dedicated to doing nothing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Gates was so adamant about his Think Weeks that family, friends and Microsoft employees were banned. Today, Gates attributes much of Microsoft’s success to the big ideas and concepts he stumbled upon while doing nothing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On implementing “nothing” time</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You don’t necessarily have to ban family and friends to retreat into a Think Week, though. Take me as an example.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Every year, I take at least a full week off from my company and head back to my hometown to help my parents with the olive harvest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
All thoughts of startup growth or conversion rates slip away when you’re picking olives. It’s meditative and calming.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I know that olive picking won’t land me at the top of TechCrunch, but it’s a personal measure of success. And somehow, some of my best ideas come to me during this period.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
For someone who can’t take an entire week off of work once a year to do nothing, I recommend taking a slightly different approach — embracing the digital sabbath.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On either Saturday or Sunday, force yourself to step away from all forms of technology — a practice known as a digital sabbath.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Shut off your smartphone and hide it in your closet. Powerdown the laptop and slide it under your bed. And, try with all your might to refrain from binge-watching Netflix.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Give your brain space to think by stepping away from the daily grind and doing nothing. Your mind will have time to stumble upon new ideas and further process old ones.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
You may find the success that results from this practice to be similar to that of the old crocodile at the beginning of this article.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
While we tell ourselves we can achieve more by scrambling, sometimes it’s better to close our eyes and just float.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And, wait, until the wildebeest shows up.</div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><a href="http://pravinthakur.com/" target="_blank">Pravin Thakur</a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><a href="https://loanatm.in/" target="_blank">Loan ATM</a></p></div>

Once there was a farmer who discovered that he had<br />
lost his watch in the farm. It was not an ordinary watch<br />
because it had<br />
sentimental value for him.<br />
After searching the hay for a long while, he gave up<br />
and call the help of a group of children playing outside the barn.<br />
He promised them that, the person who found it, would<br />
be rewarded.<br />
Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went<br />
through and around the hay but still could not find the<br />
watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up<br />
looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and<br />
asked to be given another chance.The farmer looked<br />
at him and thought, “Why not.? After all, this kid looks<br />
sincere enough.”<br />
So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After<br />
a while the little boy came out with the watch in his<br />
hand.<br />
The farmer was happy and surprised and so he asked<br />
the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed.<br />
The boy replied, “I did nothing but sit on the ground<br />
and listen. In the silence, I heard the ticking of the<br />
watch and just looked for it in that direction”</span></div>

<br />
<br />
We all want abundance in some form or another, whether it is wealth in the monetary sense to being richly blessed with meaningful relationships or even to achieve self-mastery — the wealth of spirit.<br />
<br />
In this past decade, and, even prior to that, we have been introduced to the idea of the Law of Attraction with popular books such as The Secret and the Jerry and Esther Hicks series, just to name a few.<br />
<br />
So Why Is It Still Hard To Manifest Our Desires?<br />
We hear catch phrases like 'Be in the Flow' but what does that practically mean to you? How can you step into this flow and apply it to your situation or reality? Wishful thinking just isn't cutting it for some. Here are some fundamental reasons why it may not be working for you:<br />
<br />
1. PATIENCE<br />
I have to get this one out of the way first because it is a simple yet integral principle when you are applying deliberate manifestation. You need to learn the art of patience. Think of a seed — it gets planted but it still needs time, rich nutrient and mineral-based soil, sunshine and water to blossom into its full growth potential. Any hint of doubt (or drought, in the case of our seed) will hamper its chances of reaching the surface and begin its graceful climb towards fruition.<br />
<br />
2. ACTION<br />
Once you have ascertained what you do want to create in your life, have you taken the necessary steps to get the wheel in motion? If you think that 'couch manifesting' is going to take care of everything, let me tell you now — it isn't. You need to actively participate in bringing about your desire. Set yourself realistic goals and hold yourself accountable to them.<br />
<br />
3. MINDSET<br />
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little. ~ Ben Sweetland<br />
<br />
If you are having thoughts of lack about what you want to see in your life then that is what you are calling into existence. This is like wanting to lose weight but only concentrating on all the most fattening foodstuffs — this kind of thought-stream is counter-productive. Instead of thinking the worst, think about the way you will feel when it does come into your life. How will it change your life? Does it feel good when you are in that space of living out your fantasy? If the answer is yes, then that is the emotion or feeling that you need to fertilize, in your mind, whenever you are practicing co-creation.<br />
<br />
4. VIBRATION<br />
As I addressed in the last point, when you truly allow yourself to feel the desired outcome emotion, it enhances your power to manifest tenfold. Think of 'the thought' as the key in your ignition; 'The action' is the spark that ignites the engine and 'the feeling' or emotion behind the thought is the gas that gets it all going — the driving force.<br />
<br />
5. ALIGNMENT<br />
Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune into. ~ Wayne Dyer<br />
<br />
You need to regularly align to what it is you want. Set yourself that weekly goal and check in with yourself. Has this week seen you get any closer to what you want? If not, why not — what could you have done differently? Sometimes we have to assess that what we are trying to manifest is still truly what we want. If you change your mind then that is fine, just don't kid yourself. If you change midstream to another outcome it is better than plodding along with a manifestation that you are now uncertain about. Your emotional potency will also be lacking if it is not what you want anymore, so, as the old adage goes, it will be like breaking wind against thunder.<br />
<br />
What Can I Do To Bring Abundance Into My Life Now?<br />
Well, now that the blockages have been outlined, let's take a look at what you can do in this moment and in the near future to bring about the expediency of your manifest will.<br />
<br />
The energy behind any deed needs to be from your genuine source. Any fake or compromised gestures will be meaningless in the pursuit of true abundant living.<br />
Metaphorically this is like taking a flat battery and expecting it to work in your camera. What goes around comes around, the intent you put out into the universe will come back to you, so, if you are handing out 'empty' words or actions, your boomerang effect will be just as hollow and meaningless. Acting with true integrity is the key to manifesting the life of your dreams.<br />
<br />
6. TOKENS OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE<br />
Life in abundance comes only through great love. ~ Elbert Hubbard<br />
<br />
When you visit someone or just bump into them, bestow a gift upon them. This could be a silent blessing, well-wish, compliment (make sure it is genuine), a heart-felt hug, a flower or a small gift. With this action you are giving freely. Do not expect anything in return, that will be taken care of energetically in a way that you may only come to realize when it happens.<br />
<br />
7. GRATITUDE<br />
Whatever we are waiting for – peace of mind, contentment, grace, the inner awareness of simple abundance – it will surely come to us, but only when we are ready to receive it with an open and grateful heart. ~ Sarah Ban Breathnach<br />
<br />
List all the things that you have in your life now that you are most thankful for. This could be from the smallest thing to the largest thing. For example, you may feel immense joy sitting in your garden — give thanks for that. You may have a pantry full of food and a roof over your head — give thanks for that, and so the gratitude ball starts rolling and we start to have a clear insight as to how much abundance already exists in the present. When you start this exercise, you will find more and more things that you can be grateful for from the air that you freely breathe to the limbs that operate at your will. It is a truly eye-opening experience for those who think they are lacking in some way or another.<br />
<br />
But Why Should This Work?<br />
The reason why this does work is because the more elated you feel about your current situation, the more joy you are injecting into your energetic field. This doesn't just get lost in space, it is a frequency that you are emitting outwards and it is going to be matched.<br />
<br />
This is how our lives really work in the subtle field of energy. Your energetic signature or emotional frequency is what you are setting yourself up to attract. You are like a magnet, attracting that to you which you are putting out via your emotions or feelings. This is why it is imperative that your thoughts are steered towards being more positive, which will then allow your feelings to be in alignment with what you do want.<br />
<br />
You cannot bring into your experience joy if all you are feeling is sadness. You cannot be wealthy if all you feel is lack. These are basic principles that, unfortunately, too often get overlooked when we try to view our own lives and how they are turning out. It is often hard to face the truth that what you put in, you get out. But if you are to make any headway in this life, you need to face the core truth of what you are creating consciously or even subconsciously. This is actually good news!<br />
<br />
Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life<br />
Life isn't going to just randomly happen to you anymore — you are always in full control of your life and can guide it in any direction you choose. You always have a choice, never forget that — our freewill is our greatest asset.<br />
<br />
This isn't to say that your life is going to be all cotton-socks and pink roses — you may very well have your fair share of everyday mishaps. What will change is how you perceive these obstacles and what you choose to do with them. The world isn't going to change, it is how you view it that will make the change you desire.<br />
<br />
Put into this world what you wish to get out and you will be in the flow. You will be in the driver's seat steering your life into abundance.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">The popular view that music enhances creativity has been challenged by researchers who say it has the opposite effect.

<span style="font-size: 14px;">Psychologists from the University of Central Lancashire, University of Gävle in Sweden and Lancaster University investigated the impact of background music on performance by presenting people with verbal insight problems that are believed to tap creativity.</span></div>
<div id="text" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

For example, a participant was shown three words (e.g., dress, dial, flower), with the requirement being to find a single associated word (in this case "sun") that can be combined to make a common word or phrase (i.e., sundress, sundial and sunflower).</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers used three experiments involving verbal tasks in either a quiet environment or while exposed to:</div>
<ul style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Background music with foreign (unfamiliar) lyrics</li>
<li style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Instrumental music without lyrics</li>
<li style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Music with familiar lyrics</li>
</ul>

Dr Neil McLatchie of Lancaster University said: "We found strong evidence of impaired performance when playing background music in comparison to quiet background conditions."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Researchers suggest this may be because music disrupts verbal working memory.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The third experiment -- exposure to music with familiar lyrics- impaired creativity regardless of whether the music also boosted mood, induced a positive mood, was liked by the participants, or whether participants typically studied in the presence of music.</div>

In a study of elementary school students, researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine found that having a positive attitude about math was connected to better function of the hippocampus, an important memory center in the brain, during performance of arithmetic problems.</div>

Educators have long observed higher math scores in children who show more interest in math and perceive themselves as being better at it. But it has not been clear if this attitude simply reflects other capacities, such as higher intelligence.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The new study found that, even once IQ and other confounding factors were accounted for, a positive attitude toward math still predicted which students had stronger math performance.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">'Attitude is really important'</strong></div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Attitude is really important," said Lang Chen, PhD, the study's lead author and a postdoctoral scholar in psychiatry and behavioral sciences. "Based on our data, the unique contribution of positive attitude to math achievement is as large as the contribution from IQ."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The scientists had not expected the contribution of attitude to be so large, Chen said. The mechanism underlying its link to cognitive performance was also unexpected.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"It was really surprising to see that the link works through a very classical learning and memory system in the brain," said the study's senior author, Vinod Menon, PhD, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences. Researchers had previously hypothesized that the brain's reward centers might drive the link between attitude and achievement -- perhaps children with better attitudes were better at math because they found it more rewarding or motivating. "Instead, we saw that if you have a strong interest and self-perceived ability in math, it results in enhanced memory and more efficient engagement of the brain's problem-solving capacities," Menon said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers administered standard questionnaires to 240 children ages 7 to 10, assessing demographics, IQ, reading ability and working-memory capacity. The children's level of math achievement was measured with tests of their knowledge of arithmetic facts and ability to solve math word problems. Parents or guardians answered surveys about the children's behavioral and emotional characteristics, as well as their anxiety about math and general anxiety. Children also answered a survey that assessed their attitude toward math, including questions about interest in math and self-perceived math ability, as well as their attitude toward academics in general.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Forty-seven children from the group also participated in MRI brain scans while performing arithmetic problems. Tests were conducted outside the MRI scanner to discern which problem-solving strategies they used. An independent group of 28 children also was given MRI scans and other assessments in an attempt to replicate the findings from the cohort previously given brain scans.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Opening the door</strong></div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Math performance correlated with a positive attitude toward math even after statistically controlling for IQ, working memory, math anxiety, general anxiety and general attitude toward academics, the study found. Children with poor attitudes toward math rarely performed well in the subject, while those with strongly positive attitudes had a range of math achievement.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"A positive attitude opens the door for children to do well but does not guarantee that they will; that depends on other factors as well," Chen said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
From the brain-imaging results, the scientists found that, when a child was solving a math problem, his or her positive-attitude scores correlated with activation in the hippocampus, an important memory and learning center in the brain. Activity in the brain's reward centers, including the amygdala and the ventral striatum, was not linked to a positive attitude toward math. Statistical modeling of the brain imaging results suggested that the hippocampus mediates the link between positive attitude and efficient retrieval of facts from memory, which in turn is associated with better problem solving abilities.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Having a positive attitude acts directly on your memory and learning system," Chen said. "I think that's really important and interesting."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The study could not disentangle the extent to which a positive attitude came from a child's prior success in math. "We think the relationship between positive attitude and math achievement is mutual, bi-directional," Chen said. "We think it's like bootstrapping: A good attitude opens the door to high achievement, which means you then have a better attitude, getting you into a good circle of learning. And it can probably go the other way and be a vicious circle, too."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The findings may provide a new avenue for improving academic performance and learning in children who are struggling, Menon said, cautioning that this idea still needs to be tested through active interventions.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Typically, we focus on skill learning in individual academic domains, but our new work suggests that looking at children's beliefs about a subject and their self-perceived abilities might provide another inroad to maximizing learning," Menon said. The findings also offer a potential explanation for how a particularly passionate teacher can nurture students' interest and learning capacities for a subject, he added. Inspiring teachers may be instinctively sharing their own interest, as well as instilling students in the belief that they can be good at the subject, building a positive attitude even if the student did not have it before.</div>

The desire for revenge can be the consequence of a feeling of anger. But is this the case at the cerebral level? What happens in the human brain when injustice is felt?</div>
<div id="text" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
To answer these questions, researchers from the University of Geneva (UNIGE), Switzerland, have developed an economic game in which a participant is confronted with the fair behaviour of one player and the unfair provocations of another player. They then observed, through brain imaging, which areas were activated as the study participant experienced unfairness and anger. In a second phase, scientists gave the participant the opportunity to take revenge. They thus identified the location in the brain of activations that are related to the suppression of the act of revenge in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). The more active the DLPFC is during the provocation phase, the less the participant takes revenge. These results have now been published in <em style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Scientific Reports</em>.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Until now, research on anger and the vengeful behaviour that results from it has been based primarily on the recall of a feeling of anger by the participants, or on the interpretation of anger on photographed faces. Olga Klimecki-Lenz, a researcher at UNIGE's Swiss Center for Affective Science (CISA), wanted to locate live which areas of the brain reacted when the person became angry and how this feeling materialized into vengeful behaviour.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Getting angry playing the Inequality Game</strong></div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
25 people took part in the Inequality Game, an economic game created by Olga Klimecki-Lenz to trigger a feeling of injustice, then anger, before offering the "victim" the possibility of revenge. "The participant has economic interactions with two players, whose behaviour is actually pre-programmed -- which he doesn't know about, explains Olga Klimecki-Lenz. One is friendly, offers the participant only mutually beneficial financial interactions and sends nice messages, while the other player makes sure to multiply only his own profits, going against the participant's interest and sending annoying messages."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The game takes place in three phases, during which the participant is installed in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner allowing scientists to measure his brain activity. The participant is then confronted with the photographs of the other two players and the messages and financial transactions that he receives and issues. In the first phase, the participant is in control and chooses which profits he distributes to whom. "We noticed that on average, participants here are fair towards both other players," says Olga Klimecki-Lenz. The second phase is that of provocation: the participant passively receives the decisions of the other two players, and especially the provocations and injustice of the unfair player, which induce a feeling of anger rated on a scale from 0 to 10 by the participant himself. In the last phase, the participant is again the master of the game and can choose to take revenge or not by penalizing the other two players. Overall, participants remained nice to the fair player, but took revenge for the injustices committed by the unfair player.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
<strong style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">The amygdala again!</strong></div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The provocation phase played a crucial role in localizing the feeling of anger in the brain. "It was during this phase that we were able to identify which areas were related to feelings of anger," adds Olga Klimecki-Lenz. Thanks to MRI, researchers observed activity of the superior temporal lobe, but also of the amygdala, known mainly for its role in the feeling of fear and in processing the relevance of emotions, when participants looked at the photograph of the unfair player. These two areas correlated with feelings of anger: the higher the level of anger reported by the participant, the stronger their activity.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

"But the Inequality game allowed us above all to identify the crucial role of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a zone which is key for the regulation of emotions and which is located at the front of the brain!" Olga Klimecki-Lenz explains enthusiastically. On average, participants took revenge on the unfair player. However, the researchers observed a variability in behaviour that shows that 11 participants nevertheless remained fair to the unfair player. But why so? The CISA team observed that the greater the DLPFC activity during the provocation phase, the less participants punished the unfair player. On the contrary, low DLPFC activity was associated with a more pronounced revenge on the participant following provocation by the unfair player. "We observed that DLPFC is coordinated with the motor cortex that directs the hand that makes the choice of vengeful behavior or not," continues the CISA researcher. "There is therefore a direct correlation between brain activity in DLPFC, known for emotional regulation, and behavioural choices."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Suppress revenge by stimulating DLPFC?</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
For the first time, the role of DLPFC in revenge has been identified and is distinct from concentrated areas of anger in the amygdala and superior temporal lobe. "One can then wonder if an increase in the activity of DLPFC obtained through transmagnetic stimulation, would allow to decrease the acts of vengeance or even to suppress them," says Olga Klimecki-Lenz.</div>

We place a high value on teaching children to say "thank you" and "I'm sorry." As adults, these simple words are central to many social interactions. Uttering the words is easy, so why do people often hold back? And why does the failure to confer thanks or to apologize so often lead to bad feelings or even conflict?</div>
<div id="text" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
A new paper from Carnegie Mellon University researchers introduces a framework, "Responsibility Exchange Theory," for understanding why thanking and apologizing, as well as bragging and blaming, matter so much, and presents novel experimental studies that reveal the psychology underlying these communications.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"All four of these communications are tools used to transfer responsibility from one person to another," said Shereen J. Chaudhry, who conducted the research while a Ph.D. student in CMU's Department of Social and Decision Sciences. "They relay information about credit or blame, and they involve image-based trade-offs between appearing competent and appearing warm."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Our framework helps to make sense of diverse body of research documenting the importance of these forms of communications," said co-author George Loewenstein, the Herbert A. Simon University Professor of Economics and Psychology at CMU's Dietrich College of Humanities and Social Sciences. "Research has shown that these communications -- and their absence -- can make or break relationships and affect material outcomes ranging from restaurant tips to medical malpractice settlements."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers proposed that, for the communicator, all four types of communications involve a trade-off between projecting competence and projecting warmth. Thanking and apologizing make the speaker appear caring or generous, but usually at the cost of seeming incompetent or weak. The opposite is true of bragging and blaming, which can bolster the speaker's perceived competence and status, but at the cost of seeming selfish or inconsiderate. The recipient of the communication experiences a different impact on their image: Thanking and apologizing elevate both perceived competence and warmth for the recipient, while bragging and blaming decrease both.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"These dynamics capture why thanking and apologizing are touchstones of 'polite' speech in our culture, while blaming and bragging are often considered taboo," Chaudhry said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers' framework makes predictions about whether, when and how people will engage in these critical forms of communication. One key prediction is that regardless of whether a person is the favor-doer (transgressor) or favor-recipient (victim), the person will prefer thanking (apologizing) to occur rather than bragging (blaming). As a result, most conversations over credit and blame should result in thanking and apologizing, while bragging and blaming should be relatively rare.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Another prediction focuses on conversational patterns. To facilitate their desired conversational outcomes, people are predicted to engage in techniques that lead the conversation toward thanking and apologizing and away from the other two.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
To test these predictions, the researchers conducted a live chat study involving 207 pairs of experimental subjects. The goal was to examine what happens in a conversation between two people where one person receives a favor from the other person. Participants in the study were paired, and partners were informed that they would each work on a task for five minutes. Whoever earned the higher score on the task would determine earnings for both participants, which would be equal.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Unbeknownst to the subjects, one subject was randomly assigned a much easier task and, in most cases, ended up achieving a higher score that raised payoffs for both players. After completing the tasks and revealing the winner, partners had a live chat for two minutes. The researchers coded these chats for predicted conversational patterns, looking for instances of thanking (of the high scorer by the low scorer), bragging (by the high scorer to the low scorer), and a phenomenon called "prompting," which is when the high scorer attempts to elicit thanks from the low scorer.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The key prediction was confirmed: The majority of chats involved thanking (68 percent) whereas bragging appeared in only a minority (14 percent). While the researchers predict that this will almost always be the conversational result, they also predict that thankers will do so more begrudgingly in some cases compared to others. In a separate scenario-based study, participants reported being more reluctant to thank and apologize when they were in an environment in which it was more important to appear competent. In these cases, participants preferred neither person say anything about the credit or blame at stake.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers also found support for subtle conversational phenomena such as prompting. When losers in the chat study weren't forthcoming with gratitude for the winners, 59 percent of those winners steered the conversation in a way to elicit a "thank you."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Chaudhry explains prompting in the context of taking time to provide a colleague with feedback on their report: "If you are a person who wants to be acknowledged for your effort, and if you haven't heard back from that colleague, you might ask, 'Did you find my feedback useful?'"</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The chats also had downstream consequences. After chatting, participants were confronted with a similar second task that they could decide to work on with the same or a different partner. There was a second set of pairs doing the experiment that did not get to chat. When compared to those who did not chat, those given an opportunity to chat were much more likely to choose to work together again. This positive effect of chatting is likely related to what happened during the chats: almost all of the chats involved instances of thanking and very few involved bragging. Although it was a competence-based task, a low-scoring partner was more likely to be chosen for the team again if they projected a warmer image.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Responsibility Exchange Theory can help to explain a wide range of commonly observed phenomena. It helps to explain why some communications that might appear to be apologies, but which don't accept responsibility -- "I'm sorry you feel that I hurt you" -- are not accepted as authentic. In addition, it explains why thanking and apologizing are much less likely to occur after the other side has bragged or blamed.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Our theory also can shed light on why, as previous research has found, women tend to apologize more than men. Society often imposes a 'warmth premium' on women, making it more important for them to be perceived of as warm as opposed to competent," Chaudhry said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Thanking, Apologizing, Bragging and Blaming: Responsibility Exchange Theory and the Currency of Communication" has been published in the journal <em style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Psychological Review</em>. Funding for this research was provided by Carnegie Mellon University.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Chaudhry is a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton Risk Management and Processes Center. She will join the University of Chicago Booth School of Business in July as an assistant professor of behavioral science.</div>

Catching some midday shut-eye linked to similar drops in blood pressure seen with other lifestyle changes, some medications</h2>

It seems that napping may do more than just reboot our energy level and improve our mood. New research being presented at the American College of Cardiology's 68th Annual Scientific Session found that people who took advantage of a midday snooze were more likely to have a noticeable drop in blood pressure compared with those who didn't nap.</div>
<div id="text" style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Midday sleep appears to lower blood pressure levels at the same magnitude as other lifestyle changes. For example, salt and alcohol reduction can bring blood pressure levels down by 3 to 5 mm Hg," said Manolis Kallistratos, MD, cardiologist at the Asklepieion General Hospital in Voula, Greece, and one of the study's co-authors, adding that a low-dose antihypertensive medication usually lowers blood pressure levels by 5 to 7 mm Hg, on average.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Overall, taking a nap during the day was associated with an average 5 mm Hg drop in blood pressure, which researchers said is on par with what would be expected from other known blood pressure-lowering interventions. In addition, for every 60 minutes of midday sleep, 24-hour average systolic blood pressure decreased by 3 mm Hg.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"These findings are important because a drop in blood pressure as small as 2 mm Hg can reduce the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack by up to 10 percent," Kallistratos said. "Based on our findings, if someone has the luxury to take a nap during the day, it may also have benefits for high blood pressure. Napping can be easily adopted and typically doesn't cost anything."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
This is the first study to prospectively assess midday sleep's affect on blood pressure levels among people whose blood pressure is reasonably controlled, according to the researchers. The same research team previously found midday naps to be associated with reduced blood pressure levels and fewer antihypertensive medications being prescribed among people with very high blood pressure readings.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"The higher the blood pressure levels, the more pronounced any effort to lower it will appear. By including people with relatively well-controlled blood pressure, we can feel more confident that any significant differences in blood pressure readings are likely due to napping," Kallistratos said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The study included 212 people with a mean blood pressure of 129.9 mm Hg. They were 62 years old on average and just over half were female. About 1 out of 4 participants were smokers and/or had Type 2 diabetes. The groups were similar in terms of risk factors for heart disease except there were more smokers in the napping group. Researchers assessed and recorded blood pressure for 24 hours consecutively, midday sleep time (the average duration was 49 minutes), lifestyle habits (for example, alcohol, coffee and salt consumption, physical activity levels), and pulse wave velocity, a measure of stiffness in the arteries. Participants wore an ambulatory blood pressure monitor to measure and track blood pressure at regular intervals during routine daily living, rather than just one time in the clinic. At study recruitment, participants also underwent an echocardiogram, an ultrasound of the heart that shows its structure and function.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In their analyses, researchers adjusted for factors known to influence blood pressure levels, including age, gender, lifestyle and medications. There were no differences in terms of the number of antihypertensive medications taken between the two groups, and pulse wave velocity tests and echocardiograms were also similar.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Overall, average 24-hour systolic blood pressure was 5.3 mm Hg lower among those who napped compared with those who didn't (127.6 mm Hg vs 132.9 mm Hg). When looking at both blood pressure numbers, people who slept during the day had more favorable readings (128.7/76.2 vs 134.5/79.5 mm Hg). There also appeared to be a direct linear relationship between time asleep and blood pressure; as reported, for each hour of napping, the average 24-hour systolic blood pressure lowered by 3 mm Hg.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"We obviously don't want to encourage people to sleep for hours on end during the day, but on the other hand, they shouldn't feel guilty if they can take a short nap, given the potential health benefits," Kallistratos said. "Even though both groups were receiving the same number of medications and blood pressure was well controlled, there was still a significant decrease in blood pressure among those who slept during midday."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Researchers said the findings are further bolstered because patients had similar dipping blood pressure rates at night (natural drops during nighttime sleep), meaning that any reductions in ambulatory blood pressure were separate from this phenomenon and give greater confidence that reductions in ambulatory blood pressure could be due to daytime napping.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Further research is needed to validate these findings. Although it falls outside the scope of this study, researchers said one could speculate that along with the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet endemic to this region, the cultural acceptance of midday napping may also play a role in the healthier profile seen in these populations.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Nearly half of American adults have high blood pressure. Many don't know they have it because there are often no signs or symptoms; over time, high blood pressure increases the risk of both heart attack and stroke.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Kallistratos will present the study, "Mid-day Sleep Effects as Potent as Recommended Lifestyle Changes in Patients With Arterial Hypertension," on Monday, March 18.</div>

<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
These findings, published in the <em style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box;">Journal of Neuroscience</em>, suggest that in order to forget an unwanted experience, more attention should be focused on it. This surprising result extends prior research on intentional forgetting, which focused on reducing attention to the unwanted information through redirecting attention away from unwanted experiences or suppressing the memory's retrieval.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"We may want to discard memories that trigger maladaptive responses, such as traumatic memories, so that we can respond to new experiences in more adaptive ways," said Jarrod Lewis-Peacock, the study's senior author and an assistant professor of psychology at UT Austin. "Decades of research has shown that we have the ability to voluntarily forget something, but how our brains do that is still being questioned. Once we can figure out how memories are weakened and devise ways to control this, we can design treatment to help people rid themselves of unwanted memories."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Memories are not static. They are dynamic constructions of the brain that regularly get updated, modified and reorganized through experience. The brain is constantly remembering and forgetting information -- and much of this happens automatically during sleep.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
When it comes to intentional forgetting, prior studies focused on locating "hotspots" of activity in the brain's control structures, such as the prefrontal cortex, and long-term memory structures, such as the hippo campus. The latest study focuses, instead, on the sensory and perceptual areas of the brain, specifically the ventral temporal cortex, and the patterns of activity there that correspond to memory representations of complex visual stimuli.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"We're looking not at the source of attention in the brain, but the sight of it," said Lewis-Peacock, who is also affiliated with the UT Austin Department of Neuroscience and the Dell Medical School.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Using neuroimaging to track patterns of brain activity, the researchers showed a group of healthy adults images of scenes and faces, instructing them to either remember or forget each image.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Their findings not only confirmed that humans have the ability to control what they forget, but that successful intentional forgetting required "moderate levels" of brain activity in these sensory and perceptual areas -- more activity than what was required to remember.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"A moderate level of brain activity is critical to this forgetting mechanism. Too strong, and it will strengthen the memory; too weak, and you won't modify it," said Tracy Wang, lead author of the study and a psychology postdoctoral fellow at UT Austin. "Importantly, it's the intention to forget that increases the activation of the memory, and when this activation hits the 'moderate level' sweet spot, that's when it leads to later forgetting of that experience."</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The researchers also found that participants were more likely to forget scenes than faces, which can carry much more emotional information, the researchers said.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"We're learning how these mechanisms in our brain respond to different types of information, and it will take a lot of further research and replication of this work before we understand how to harness our ability to forget," said Lewis-Peacock, who has begun a new study using neuro feedback to track how much attention is given to certain types of memories.</div>
<div style="border-radius: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"This will make way for future studies on how we process, and hopefully get rid of, those really strong, sticky emotional memories, which can have a powerful impact on our health and well-being," Lewis-Peacock said.</div>

Our minds automatically pull attention to our names in a crowded room and to our faces in photographs.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
While this "cocktail party effect" of turning our attention toward self-related stimulation is well-known, scientists don't know if something similar happens inside our heads. If a particular idea is associated with our selves, so we think about it faster than other thoughts? By testing for this "self-referential bias" in working memory, Duke researchers are starting to understand how our brains make us naturally self-centered.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Their work appears in the March 1 edition of <em style="border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box;">Psychological Science</em>.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"People prioritize themselves in their minds," said senior author Tobias Egner, an associate professor in the Department of Psychology & Neuroscience. "The question is, how automatic is that prioritization? Is this something that you can't help? If so, that could really bias how you make decisions."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Working memory, sometimes called short-term memory, is "our interface with the world," said Egner, who is also a member of the Duke Institute for Brain Sciences. In order to read this sentence, for example, your working memory holds each word in temporary storage for a few seconds until you reach the period. "We use working memory to make complex decisions where we have to weigh different pieces of information and keep them in mind," Egner said. "If you always put self-related information first, then this bias could drive your decisions by weighting that information more strongly and outcompeting other things in your short-term memory when you evaluate different options."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
To test for self-referential bias in working memory, the research team, a collaboration between Duke University, the University of Bath in the U.K. and Southwest University in China and funded by Chinese government grants, created a computer program and tested it on 102 study participants.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
First, participants learned to associate the colors blue, green and purple to labels of "friend," "stranger" or "self" with a simple game. Then, two different-colored dots, like green and purple, would briefly flash on the screen. After a five-second pause, during which participants had to remember the locations and colors of the previous dots, a black dot would appear on screen. Participants then indicated if the black dot flashed in the same place as one of the colored dots, and if so, which label fit.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Participants correctly identified the "self"-labeled dots significantly faster than the "friend" or "stranger" dots. That meant their working memory focused on the dots labeled with the "self" color.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Imagine you keep two things in mind," Egner said. "If you're being tested for either one of those, and you reliably answer one faster than the other, then you're prioritizing it."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"Even though it's an arbitrary association of colors and locations that has nothing to do with you, and there's no point in you prioritizing one over the other for doing well at the task, we reliably show across four experiments that you're always faster to respond to the 'self'-reference cue."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
In a variation of the experiment, the researchers made the "self"-labeled color appear half as often as the "stranger" or "friend" colors, to see if participants would still prioritize "self" even if it made them worse at the task.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"In spite of the fact that it would be much smarter for them to prioritize the other two, they are still faster with the 'self' color," Egner said. "That really suggests that there's automaticity there: we can't help but prioritize the stimulus that's associated with ourselves."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Future research could include seeing if the effects hold with more difficult tasks, as almost all of the participants did each task correctly over the 80- to 100-minute trials.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
They could test if people who prioritized "self" more than others make more selfish decisions, by pairing this experimental set-up with altruism experiments. Researchers could also find a "price" for this automatic selfishness, by paying participants different amounts for identifying "stranger" or "other" labels.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
"You could differentially pay people for responding quickly to the different colors," Egner said. "Then you could literally figure out how much more to pay for the 'stranger' color than the 'self' color to get the same performance speed."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border-radius: 0px !important; box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 10px;">

एका इमारतीचे बांधकाम चालू होते.<br />
अकराव्या मजल्यावर इंजीनियर होता.<br />
खाली कामगार काम करत होता.<br />
इंजिनियरला त्या कामगाराला कायतरी सांगायचे होते<br />
परंतु त्याचा आवाज कामगारापर्यंत पोहोचत नव्हता.<br />
आता काय करायचे?<br />
त्या कामगाराला सुचना कशा करायच्या?<br />
याचा विचार करत होता.<br />
<br />
इंजीनियर आपल्या खिशात हात घालतो एक रुपयांचा नाणे खाली फेकतो,<br />
त्याला वाटते ते एक रूपयाच नाण पाहून कामगार वर पाहील पण तसे काही होत नाही.<br />
<br />
कामगार ते पडलेलेे एक रूपयाच नाणं खिशात घालतो व आपले काम सुरू ठेवतो.<br />
<br />
इंजीनियर परत इकडे तिकडे पाहतो परत पाच रूपयाच नाणं खाली टाकतो<br />
आतातरी कामगार वर पाहील असं त्या इंजीनियरला वाटते पण तसं काही होता नाही<br />
<br />
पण तो कामगार वर काही पाहत नाही, परत कामगार ते पाच रूपयाच नाणंही खिशात घालतो आणि आपले काम सुरू ठेवतो<br />
<br />
आता इंजीनियर कामगाराच्या दिशेने वरून एक खडा टाकतो.<br />
<br />
आता मात्र कामगार खडा़ कोणी टाकला म्हणून लगेच वर बघतो<br />
असेच काही माणसाचे झाले आहे<br />

<b><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">देव माणसाला प्रमोशन देतो अधिक पैसा देतो तरीही माणसाचे लक्ष देवाकडे जात नाही </span></i></b><br />
<br />
<b><i><span style="color: #741b47;">मग देव माणसाच्या जीवनात एक संकटाचा खडा टाकतो </span></i></b><br />

तर योग्य वेळीच आपण जर देवाकडे हात जोडले तर देव आपले लक्ष वेधण्यासाठी आपल्या आयुष्यात खडा टाकणार नाही</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-IN" style="background: white; font-family: "Comic Sans MS";">A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely
satisfied in life.</span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS";"><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">But one day he saw a swan. "This swan is so
white," he thought, "and I am so black.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">This swan must be the happiest bird in the
world."</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">He expressed his thoughts to the swan. "Actually,"
the swan replied, "I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until
I saw a parrot, which has two colours. I now think the parrot is the happiest
bird in creation."</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot
explained, "I lived a very happy life—until I saw a peacock. I have only
two colours, but the</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">peacock has multiple colours."</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and
saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">After the people had left, the crow approached
the peacock. "Dear peacock," the crow said, "you are so
beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me,
they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the
planet."</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">The peacock replied, "I always thought that
I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my
beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I
have realized that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past
few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam
everywhere."</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;">That's our problem too. We make unnecessary
comparison with others and become sad. We don't value what God has given us.
This all leads to the vicious cycle of unhappiness.</span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;"><b>Have Life ahead valuing the things God has given
us.</b></span><br />
<span style="background: white;"> </span><br />
<span style="background: white;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>Learn the secret of being happy and discard the
comparison which leads only to unhappiness.</b></span><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Once upon a time, there was a very lazy man who would always look for an easier way to feed himself. One day while he was searching for something to eat, he saw the fruit farm. He looked around and didn’t see anyone guarding the fruits on the tree, so he quickly decided to steal some fruits. But as soon as he walked into the farm and started to climb the tree, the farmer saw him and started coming at him to catch him. The lazy man saw the farmer coming at him with a stick, he got afraid and ran towards the forest nearby and went inside it to hide.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
After some time when he felt he started to move on from the forest and while passing through, he saw the wonderful scene. There was a fox. It had only two legs and still was crawling on them happily. The lazy man thought, how can this fox stay alive in such condition?! The fox can’t run, how he must be able to feed himself or stay alive from the threat of other animals.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Suddenly, he saw the lion coming towards the fox with a piece of meat already in his mouth. All the animals ran away and the lazy man climbed up on the tree to save himself but, the fox stayed there only, he didn’t have the ability to run on two legs. But what happened next surprised the lazy man. The lion left a piece of meat which was in his mouth for the fox!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
The lazy man felt happy seeing god’s play. He thought the god who is the creator of all, always has a plan set to take care of what he created. He felt that god must have something planned for him too. So, he left that place and sat somewhere away alone waiting for someone to feed him too. As time starting to pass, he kept looking at the road, waiting for his food. He waited there for 2 days without any food! Finally, he couldn’t bear the hunger and started to leave.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
He met an old sage (a wise person famed for wisdom) on the way. He told everything happened to the sage. The sage first gave him some food and water. After having it, the lazy man asked the sage, “oh wise one, the god had shown his mercy on the crippled fox, but why the god was so cruel to me?”</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
The old sage with a smile said, <b>“True that the creator has a plan for everyone. You are obviously a part of the god’s plan. But Son, You took his sign in a wrong way.</b> He didn’t want you to be like the fox. He wanted you to be like the Lion”.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br />
Moral: Often we misunderstand the signs. God has given everyone a strength and ability to do their part. Always learn to see the things in a positive way and see yourself in a strong position to help the ones who need. Don’t go for the easy choice. Make a right choice.<br />

कौओं (Crows) का एक जोड़ा कहीं से उड़ता हुआ आया और एक ऊँचें से पेड़ पर घोंसला (Nest) बनाने में जुट गया, कौओं को इस पेड़ पर घोंसला बनाते देख एक चुहिया (Mice) ने उनसे कहा, देखो भाई यहाँ घोंसला मत बनाओ. यहाँ घोंसला बनाना सुरक्षित नहीं है, चुहिया के बात सुनकर कौओं ने कहा की घोंसला बनाने के लिए इस ऊँचें पेड़ से जियादा सुरक्षित (Secure) स्थान कोन-सा होगा?<br />
<br />
“चुहिया ने फिर कहा” देखी भाई ऊँचें होते हुए भी यह पेड़ सुरक्षित नहीं है. इसकी……..<br />
<br />
“चुहिया अपनी बात पूरी भी नहीं कर पायी थी की कौओं ने बीच में ही चुहिया को रोक कर डांटते हुए कहा की हमारे काम में दखल मत दो और अपना काम देखो. हम दिन भर जंगलों के ऊपर उड़ते रहेते हैं और सारे जंगलों को अच्छी प्रकार से जानते हैं. तुम जमीन के अंदर रहेने वाली नन्ही सी चुहिया पेड़ों के बारे में किया जानो? यह कहकर कौओं ने पुनः अपना घोंसला बनाने में व्यस्त हो गए.<br />
<br />
कुछ दिनों के परिश्रम से कौओं ने एक अच्छा घोंसला तैयार कर लिया और मादा कौए ने उसमें अंडे भी दे दिए. अभी अण्डों से बच्चे निकले भी न थे की एक दिन अचानक आंधी चलने लगी, पेड़ हवा में जौर-जौर से झूलने लगा, आंधी का वेग बहुत तेज होगया और देखते-देखते पेड़ जड़ समेत उखड़कर धराशायी हो गया, कौओं का घोंसलादूर जा गिरा और उसमें से अंडे छिटक कर धरती पर गिरकर चकनाचूर हो गए, कौओं का पूरा संसार पल भर में उजड़ गया, वे रोने-पीटने लगे.<br />
<br />
यह सब देखकर चुहिया को भी बड़ा दुःख हुआ और कौओं के पास आकर बोली, ‘तुम समझते थे की तुम पुरे जंगल को जानते हो लेकिन तुमने पेड़ को केवल बाहर से देखा था, पेड़ की ऊँचाई देखी थी, जड़ों की गहरायी और स्वास्थ्य नहीं देखा, मेने पेड़ को अंदर से देखा था, पेड़ की जड़ें सड़कर धीरे-धीरे कमजोर होती जारही थीं और मेने तुम्हें बताने की पूरी कोशिश भी की लेकिन तुमने मेरी बात बीच में ही काट दी और अपनी जिद पर अड़े रहे, इसीलिए आज ये दिन देखना पड़ा.<br />
<br />
<b>इससे हमें क्या सिख मिलती है?</b><br />
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><b>किसी चीज को केवल बाहर से जानना ही पर्याप्त नहीं होता उसे अंदर से जानना भी बहुत जरुरी है, जो चीज भीतर से सुरक्षित नहीं, वह बाहर से कैसे सुरक्षित होगी? यही बात मनुष्य के संदर्भ में भी कही जा सकती है</b>.</span><br />
<b><br /></b>
<span style="color: #351c75;"><b>मनुष्य की मजबूती मात्र उसके भौतिक शरीर में नहीं, अपितु उसके मनोभावों में हैं, यदि मनुष्य भीतर से कमजोर है अर्थात उसका मन यदि विकारों (Disorders) या नकारात्मक (Negative) भावों से भरा है तो एक दिन यह शरीर भी अनेक व्याधियों-बिमारियों (Diseases) का शिकार होकर कमजोर जड़ वाले पेड़ की तरह शीघ्र ही नष्ट होकर धराशायी हो जाएगा.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #38761d;"><b>जरुरी है की हम स्वंय को अंदर से मजबूत बनाने का प्रयास करें, इसके लिए हमें शरीर को कमजोर करने वाले मनोभावों (Emotions) अर्थात अर्थात विकारों (Disorders) से पूरी तरह से मुक्ति पानी होगी, अष्टांग योग के निरंतर अभ्यास द्वारा हम न केवल भौतिक स्वास्थ्य ठीक कर सकते हैं अपितु (But) आंतरिक विकास का भी यही एक मात्र उपाय है.</b></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
A gentleman was walking through an elephant camp, and he
spotted that the elephants weren’t being kept in cages or held by the use of
chains. All that was holding them back from escaping the camp, was a small
piece of rope tied to one of their legs.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As the man gazed upon the elephants, he was completely
confused as to why the elephants didn’t just use their strength to break the
rope and escape the camp. They could easily have done so, but instead they
didn’t try to at all.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Curious and wanting to know the answer, he asked a trainer
nearby why the elephants were just standing there and never tried to escape.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The trainer replied;</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“When they are very young and much smaller we use the same
size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow
up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the
rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The only reason that the elephants weren’t breaking free and
escaping from the camp was <b><span style="color: #e36c0a; mso-themecolor: accent6; mso-themeshade: 191;">because over time
they adopted the belief that it just wasn’t possible.<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="color: #e36c0a; mso-themecolor: accent6; mso-themeshade: 191;"><br /></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Moral of the story: <span style="color: #6600cc;">No matter how much the world tries to hold you back,
always continue with the belief that what you want to achieve is possible.
Believing you can become successful is the most important step in actually
achieving it.</span><o:p></o:p></b><br />
