Train

Short version:

1. The only thing we can take to our graves are the differences we made in other people lives

2. “Look back and be grateful, look ahead and be hopeful, look around and be helpful”.

3. Look up and be blessed

4. Life will always be complicated. Let’s enjoy it now before we run out of time.

Long version:

At birth we boarded the train and met our parents, and we believe they will always travel by our side.

As time goes by, other people will board the train; and they will be significant…

i.e. our siblings, friends, children, and even the love of your life.

However, at some station our parents will step down from the train,

leaving us on this journey alone.

Others will step down over time and leave a permanent vacuum.

Some, however, will go so unnoticed that we don’t realize they vacated their seats.

This train ride will be full of joy, sorrow, fantasy, expectations, hellos, goodbyes and farewells.

Success consists of having a good relationship with all passengers requiring that we give the best of ourselves.

The mystery to everyone is: We do not know at which station we ourselves will step down.

So, we must live in the best way, love, forgive, and offer the best of who we are.

It is important to do this because when the time comes for us to step down and leave our seat empty, we should leave behind beautiful memories for those will continue to travel on the train of life.

Who has been the most important person with you on the train?

No matter how big their role, remember to thank those who were with you on your journey.

 

 

 

 

How to use cell phone

How to use cell phone

I was recently watching TV show, this is what I have learned Using Cell Phone may cause brain tumor or other impacts.   But there is no proof at this time; the reason being latency between exposure and impact is at least 20 years.  The cell phone is being used only 16 years.

The amount of waves goes around our brain is equal to amount of waves using on Microwave oven.

You can protect by using wired earpiece, Don’t talk when your signal is really week that is the time more amount of waves being used to get you the signal, third don’t let kids talk on the cell phone, because the skull for them is much thinner.

Train your Brain (Brain Exercise)

Train your Brain:

New Brain Cells are continually generated – even in adults – through a process called neurogenesis.  Most new cells are born in hippocampus.

Learning and stress-relieving activities enhance neurogenesis and promote new-cell survival.

Learning new skills creates connections in the brain that counter-act cognitive decline.  It’s never too later to build brainpower with these mental exercises.

Brain Exercises

– Take up violin if you are already playing piano.
– Learn to speak another language.
– If you are crossword puzzle pro, switch to sudoku.
– Use your non-dominant hand to write or brush your teeth.
– Play board games or Computer/Video games that activate strategic, spatial and memory skills.
– Dance.  Intricate choreography fine-tunes the body and brain.

Beyond these exercise

Eat Smart , Exercise regularly and Mind your emotions.

Eat Smart:

If you need a brain-boosting tuneup,  try mediterranean meal plan. Olive, nuts, Avocados, dark leafy green, Vitamin E and Folic Acid.  Colorful fruits and vegetables such as carrots, tomatoes and mangoes.

Exercise:

3 times 40 minutes of aerobic exercise sessions.  Cardiovascular exercise increases blood flow to the brain and decreases your risk of stroke.

Mind your emotions

Build your coping skills.  Adequate sleep, massage, meditation and spiritual practice.

If you want to Excel

Hope you all had a good weekend.  I had a great weekend.  1 billion people from India were celebrating the victory of Cricket World Cup.   It is a great event in Indian sports history.  When your favorite team wins the cup, the amount of happiness is immense.  I have been looking at a player who surpassed most of world records in Cricket.   I was looking up, What makes the person master or excel  in any field.

We could take any field for discussion sports, music or medicine.

The nature of expertise is revealed in the form of learners ,  mediocre, OK,  good, and excellent.

Anders Ericsson is professor of Psychology.  Per Anders Ericsson, “With exception of some sports, no characteristics of the brain or body constrains an individual from reaching an expert level.”   Then the next question would be how one individual could become a master in particular field.

Deliberate practice is Ericsson’s his big idea.  It entails considerable, specific and sustained efforts to do something you can’t do well.  It demands high concentration, and much reflection and feedback analysis.

My message here is, We all have to register one thing in our mind, “experts are always made, not born”.

iFly ( Indoor Sky diving)

We recently accomplished major projects DB Migration from Oracle to MySQL and Data center Migration. My company wanted to celebrate this event, so they took us to Indoor Sky diving. Initially we are given instruction on how to keep our body posture and Instructor’s signal to adjust the posture. We are given video instruction as well. I felt little bit excitement and nervous since it is my first time. Kits are given wear including helmet, suit, goggle and ear plug.

The fly area is covered by see through ( kind of tube). Instructor stays with you all the time, to make sure you are able to fly with correct balance. While you are flying you face look so funny with high pressure from the floor, which lifts you up in the air. With your posture and air pressure magic you can go up to 8 feet. If you are comfortable, instructor takes you up and helps you to spin. It was really fun. O My God!! the third time, the spin was really fast.

Wow!! It was wonderful experience. If you want to try. checkout http://www.iFlySFbay.com
