Reading quotations for motivation. Good or Bad?

Image
after all these mad scribblings are about good bad and searches! Reading too many quotations sometimes is like over eating. The mind becomes unclear and wanders restless...(sometimes becoming very blank) It is the stage when I feel: 'reading quotations is useless' Some time ago I made an attempt to have just four quotations ready - just like some instant energy giver - to motivate me any time. Searching quotations, with the aim to short list for instant energy giving - the mind was blocked - making myself to quote: "reading quotations is of no benefit" At this stage I thought, let me have one quotation - just one - to motivate me any time....... I got this one: Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

after all these mad scribblings are about good bad and searches! I love Mallus for their simplicity and for leading a practical life with timely humour. Who are Mallus? Answer please see the connected blog: Let me connect the blog: Hungry Mallus As a twitter fan I try to read,see and converse about twitter whenever I can. So, some months back CBN-IBN aired a program on twitter, apart from learning about spreadsheets and some doyens in the twitterdom, I tweeted proudly that I watched the program. There, as a reply to this I met a tweep: @ameenmaj. This friend likes to talk and always has a say whenever a tweet a tweet to him. I shared a tweet with him when I was obsessed with getting a reply from @SrBachchan, lucky he was and as I tweeted with @ameemaj....@SrBachchan replied.....to one question. @Ameenmaj likes to sing and got a good voice too. He shared with me a Tamil song. He shared the video clipping at you tube. He has good comments on the soccer and I am thinking

Smile Mantra (News Paper cutting) (Deccan Herald)

Smile mantra Speak to your father to strike the chord of happiness London, June 18, PTI Do you want to know the secret to happiness? Well, just talk to your dad, says a study. Researchers at the University of York have found that children who regularly talk to their fathers are happier than those who do not — the findings are based on an analysis of the British Household Panel survey into 1,200 young people all aged between 11 and 15 years. Young people who said they talked seriously to their dads “most days” gave themselves an 87 per cent score on a happiness scale compared with 79 per cent for those who said they hardly ever spoke to their fathers in this way. Nearly half of young people — 46 per cent — said that they “hardly ever” spoke to their fathers about important topics compared with 28 per cent who hardly ever spoke to their mothers about the things that matter most. Only 13 per cent confided in their father “most days”. The study, commissi

African Slang...foot ball time...Newspaper cutting (Deccan Herald) (II)

Language tips II South African slang guide JOHANNESBURG, June 10, Reuters: In the second part of this visitor-friendly guide on the A-Z of slang (the first part appeared on Thursday), we run through the I-Z possibilities. I: Izzit. Another product of the same linguistic mangle as "Howzit", the abbreviation of "Is it?" signifies vague disbelief or surprise as in: "My girlfriend is something of a soccer fundi." Reply: "Izzit?" J: Jol. Afrikaans for "party", a surprisingly widespread term given the former Dutch settlers' puritan reputation. K: "Ke Nako". Sesotho for "It's time", and the expression that helped convince FIFA bosses in 2004 to award Africa its first World Cup. L: Lekker. Pronounced "lacquer" but has nothing to do with furniture polish and everything to do with "good". Likely to be heard in conjunction with another L, "Laduma" –– Zulu for "He scores" –– if the

African slang...news paper cutting from Deccan Herald (I)

Language tips Key to unlock the African lingo! JOHANNESBURG: Even though English is South Africa's official first language, many World Cup visitors may find it hard navigating the local lingo, a bewildering mixture of Afrikaans, Zulu and nine other native tongues. The first part of the A-Z of slang, featuring A to H offers a rough guide for soccer fans worried about getting lost in South Africa's linguistic jungle. A: Ayoba. A made-up word meaning "cool", and given continent-wide currency after its appropriation as a World Cup slogan by MTN, Africa's biggest mobile phone company. B: Braai. Cooking meat on a fire is one of the few things that appeals equally to all South Africans, no matter their colour. Expect to go hungry if you refer to it as a barbecue. C: China. No, not the country, which failed to qualify for the World Cup. China, as in "Howzit, my old China?", means "friend", much as it does in London's East End, its probable port of

Standing on the earth: He thinks as he stands beneath the staggering scope of a billion Suns strewn at least 10,000 light-years across from horizon to horizon, trying to embrace it: "How small we are; even the largest of his personal problems seem trivial by contrast." (The book: Orbit. Author: John J. Nance.) That was a lovely story, where a person happens to go on a travel in earths orbit. That person enjoys the earth from the vessel Intrepid. From up above the earth: Here our friend @Astro_Soichi  who   is in Long duration space flight from December 2009 to June 2010 on the International Space Station,  gives us fantastic picture of our earth from high above.

One of the good moments in life is: Tweeting during a journey. I enjoy tweeting while travelling. The vehicle moves. The thought moves. Good tweets take birth. Once during a journey, NDTV was hosting a 'green day' programme. Now that I have started enjoying tweets about an event, rather than enjoying the event itself, I was enjoying @sid_23  tweets during this journey. Nice tweep from Kolkatta. He loves the earth and tweets for a 'greener world' cause. An environmental video from his blog: (Everything You Wanted  :) Tweet pick from his favorites. His Latest Tweet. Picture This is Sid Hello Sid, I feel you should have a profile picture in your handle. $$$$$ @madhu27 is a Teacher from Kolkatta. A very good teacher. Her tweets also have accompanied me during journeys. Majador tweets. She tweets to celebrities and has a bunch of replies from celebrities in her favorites. In fact she was my inspiration to get a mention from @SrBachchan. I admire her teaching

Good. The thought of making a blog on 'FOLLOW FRIDAY' is taking shape. I should thank @ AskAaronLee    for  the idea. $ $ $ I began to follow  AskAaronLee   through @ v_shakthi . @ v_shakthi   had mentioned in one of his follow Friday tweets about him: "The most followed and the most friendly person from "Malaysia" The statement is very true. Personally tested. $$$   @ v_shakthi   is a powerful person from India and I refer to his tweets always. I have tried several sites through his tweets. Sometimes based on his tweet I go to some applications and try those. By the time I come back to the twitter...there there there will be a shakthi style pause: Signoff:)) $ $ $ There is another person from Indonesia. This person has got the capacity to change your feel, whatever mindset you are on the time line. A tweet by @ rM1L  brings a smile. Makes the heart light. This person is good at poetry. Very good at short sentences - very short and
