DISCOVER YOUR CREATIVE MIND
by Brad & Jeloria Jensen
You may have heard that your mind is like an iceberg, with 9/10ths of it below the level that we can see. You may also have heard that most people do not use 90% of their brain. You can learn to explore and use that portion of your mind which is outOf view for most people.
The inner part of your mind is a fascinating place. It holds all of your hopes and dreams, your fantasies and the seed of the future that you will create for yourself. Just as each plant has its foundation in the hidden soil of the earth, so too are your thoughts based in the inner part of yourself.
By learning what the soil is made of and the process of growth that occurs in a plant, a scientist can learn how to develop richer soils and healthier plants. By learning what goes into creating within the inner part of your mind and what the process of growth is for your thoughts, you can learn how to make your thoughts stronger and healthier, and enrich your existence.
As you begin to learn about creation, you will also naturally learn about your responsibility to yourself and in dealing with others. You will learn that only YOU can make the choices that really matter in your life and to expect others to choose for you is to deny yourself the respect you truly deserve.

Finding Time
One day, an expert in time management was speaking to a group of students.
He pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table.
Then he brought up a dozen fist-sized rocks and carefully placed them, one at a time, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the top and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, Is this jar full ? Everyone in the class yelled, Yes.
The reached pulled out a bucket of gravel. He dumped some gravel in and shook the jar causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the spaces between the big rocks. He then asked the group once more, Is the jar full Probably not, one of them answered.
Good! he replied. He reached for a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all of the spaces left between the rocks and the gravel. Once more he asked the question, Is this jar full No! the class shouted.
Once again he said, Good.Then he grabbed some water and began to pour it in until the jar was filled to the brim.
He looked at the class and asked, What is the point of this illustration.
He said the point is, no matter how full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always fit some more things in it! He also said that if you don't put the big rocks in first, you'll never get them in at all.
What are the 'big rocks' in your life, Education.
When you put in Education first, you will then have time to fill more of things like prayer, time for your parents, etc.

What is Humidity?
‘Temperature is 80 degrees, and humidity is 75”.Perhapsyou has been puzzled by a statement of this sort. What is meant by humidity?
First of all, we must remember that the air is not composed of a simple uniform substance; it is made up of a number of different gases. Most popular is oxygen, Nitrogen is another, carbon dioxide is third. But the most important is water vapor, or evaporated water.
There is always a certain amount of this vapor in the air. The amount of this vapor that the air can hold at any one time is determined by the temperature; the higher the temperature, the more water vapor the air can contain. When it can take up no more water, we say that it has reached at a saturation point. If any more vapor is added, condensation takes place: that is, the vapor is observed in the form of dew, mist, rain, hail or snow.
Now by humidity we simply mean the amount of water vapor in the air. Absolute humidity is the weight of the water vapor per cubic foot of air. Generally when we refer to humidity, we mean relative humidity. This is the percentage of water vapor in the air with respect to the total amount of vapor that the air can hold at any one time at the given temperature. When we say that the temperature is 80 degrees and that the humidity is75, we mean that the air has 75 % or ¾ of water vapor that it can contain at a temperature of 80 degrees.
When the temperature is high [that is, when the air can hold a good deal of water vapor] and the humidity is also high, we find ourselves exceedingly uncomfortable.
On the other hand, our bodies need some water vapor; and in parts of the earth when the air is hot and very dry, human beings cannot maintain health for long. We are most comfortable when the humidity is neither too high nor too low. We can do nothing about it outdoors, but it can be regulated by air conditioning in offices and homes.
In America a unique way is adopted that to dig small/big deep earth to hold water for a long time, so even on high temperatures, the temperature do not go much dry.

Acquire Writing Skills
The following list of tips should help you to avoid some of the most common slip-ups.
1. Capitals:
Avoid the temptation to capitalize words in the middle of a sentence Just To Provide Emphasis Like This. If you want to be more emphatic consider using bold face, italics, color or larger text.
2. Commas:
The most common use of the comma is to join together short sentences to make a single longer sentence. We do this with one of the following small joining words: and, or, but, yet, for, nor, or so. For example:
We have finished the work, and we are looking forward to the weekend.
Notice that the two halves of this sentence could each be sentences in their own right. They thus need to be separated with a comma and joining word. In the next example, though, we don't need a comma: We have finished the work and are looking forward to the weekend.
The halves of that sentence could not stand alone, so no comma was used.
3. Ellipsis:
The ellipsis is a series of three -- and ONLY THREE -- full stops used to mark missing words, an uncertain pause, or an abrupt interruption. Avoid the temptation to use six or seven dots -- it looks amateurish. For example, we write:
Niles: But Miss Fine's age is only ... Fran: Young! Miss Fine's age is only young!
4. Excessive punctuation:
Only one exclamation mark or question mark should be used at a time. Consider the following over-punctuated examples:
Buy now!!! Great bargains!!!!!!!!!! Excessive punctuation looks too much like hysteria and detracts from your credibility. Avoid it.
5. Headings:
For long works, establish a clear hierarchy of headings. Microsoft Word's heading styles are great for this. (They also allow you to automatically create a table of contents.)
6. Hyphenating prefixes:
Most prefixes don't need a hyphen; i.e. we write "coexist", not "co-exist". There are exceptions, though. The prefixes "self-" and "ex-" are almost always hyphenated.
7. Numbers:
Numbers of ten or less are normally written as words.
8. Quotation marks:
Users of American English should use double quotes (" "). Users of British English should choose either single quotes (' ') or double quotes and stick with them for the whole document. Incidentally, British English usage is increasingly moving towards single quotes.
9. Spaces:
Modern style is to use a single space at the end of a sentence, not two. Also, most punctuation marks (e.g. commas, full stops, question marks) are not preceded by a space.
10.Tables:
Set table text one or two points smaller than the main body text and in a sans-serif font such as Arial or Verdana. Avoid vertical lines as they tend to add unnecessary clutter.
Armed with these simple guidelines, your business writing should be well received every time. Good luck!

Another input:
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help." There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing? Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.
But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat.
The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the second sign was more effective?

Great Priinciple of Pain and Pleasure
Why does one student succeed at an exam while another fails?
Study is a pain for the failing student.
Study is a pleasure for the rank holder..
Walking into a slum is a pain for many rich people.
But it was a pleasure to Mother Theresa.
People who succeed are those who take pleasure in taking pains.
You too can succeed in life by taking pains.
Life keeps a perfect account.
If you take pains, you will be rewarded with pleasure.
And if you opt for pleasure, you are bound to go through pain.
Take pains in first half of life, you will live in pleasure in the second half.
But take pleasure in first half, your life in the second half will be very painful.
A Great Lesson for every one to know and remember all the time.
