How To Judge A Friend?

A friend is more than someone who wipes
Your tears when you are sad.
They are more than the person you call when
Someone makes you incredibly mad.

A true friend does not have to be a person
You spend time with every weekend,
Or even someone who lives
Just around the bend.

A friend can be a person with whom
You shared a single moment,
But you felt like it was just for
You they were sent.

Friendship does not always have to
Build up over years
It, like love, sometimes
Just appears.

So always remember that
Each person you meet
Has the potential to be someone
Especially interesting and neat.

Try not to judge those who
Don't seen your "type,"
Because their personality,
May fit yours just right.
 

How can you judge that The world is your mirror

The good you find in others, is in you too.
The faults you find in others, are your faults as well.
After all, to recognize something you must know it.

The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well.
The beauty you see around you, is your beauty.
The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you
the person you are.

To change your world, you must change yourself.
See the best in others, and you will be your best.
Give to others, and you will give to yourself.
Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful.
Admire creativity, and you will be creative.

Love, and you will be loved.
Seek to understand, and you will be understood.
Listen, and your voice will be heard.
Teach, and you will learn.

Brain craves unhealthy foods when sugar levels fall, Is this true?

Unable to resist the urge to eat

When blood glucose levels fall, the brain starts to crave high calorie foods,
 particularly in those who are already overweight, research suggests.
The craving comes from an area of the brain involved in regulating emotion
and impulses, and the ability to resist the desire to eat is lost.

In the study, the researchers manipulated blood sugar levels of obese
and non-obese volunteers  using intravenous infusions.

Changes in blood sugar levels were monitored while the participants were shown
pictures of high calorie foods such as burgers, chips, chocolate and ice cream,
low calorie foods such as broccoli, fruit, salads and bean sprouts,
and items that were not food.

As this was happening, the scientists scanned changes in their brains using
 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).

When glucose levels fell, two 'reward' areas of the brain - the insula and
striatum - were activated, inducing a desire to eat.

But, another area of the brain - the prefrontal cortex - which usually prevents
impulsive behaviour, appeared to lose the ability to inhibit the urgent 'eat' signals
being generated in the striatum.

Researchers said the weakened response was particularly striking in the
obese volunteers when they were shown pictures of high calorie foods.

Dr Kathleen Page of Yale University, who co-led the study, said:
"Our results suggest that obese individuals may have a limited ability to inhibit
the impulsive drive to eat, especially when glucose levels drop below normal."

Researchers suggested that maintaining stable glucose levels by eating healthy foods
such as complex carbohydrates and fruit and vegetables may help people
maintain a healthy weight

What are the benefits of Being Polite?

What are the benefits of Being Polite?

We all believe in the philosophy that the essence of life is talking. Communicating with others is as necessary as food. If we dont, we tend to fall ill. Today people are rarely talking.
The art of conversation has almost died down. People just usually sit and chat in their office breaks about things that are not even worth thinking about. Lets face it; we all are going towards doom where each one of us is talking to pass/kill time. The art of using communication is no more existing. People are concerned about others influence in their lives and not about their influence in others life.
It is an unbelievable thing that an effective communication through polite words can have wonderful impact on you and others lives as well. You can win the hearts of many people, climb the corporate ladder, have promotions but not have wonderful relationship with people around you.
The path to a successful life comes thorough the stairs of politeness. An act of politeness can do wonders that no monetary thing can do. Let us go deep in the art of efficient speaking by these methods.


Talking about ideas and not people

Its truly said, great minds talk about ideas and small minds talk about people. Politeness is an attitude of life. Talking about ideas heightens your politeness towards innovations and stimulates your mind too. This is effective for the speaker and the listener both. To start talking about people you can breathe out all negative energies about anyone: latest crush, which dress she wears, which perfume she uses, her bad attitude. The idea is that everything you talk about people usually comes negative. This develops a feeling of self love and comparison at all means. You do not value your life as much as you do to others.

Using intellect instead of the tongue

Usually people chatter on at length not worrying about the impact it would have on others. Since people are so occupied in themselves theyd rather talk about themselves only. This instigates them to speak rubbish endlessly. Have you ever thought how much of an impact we can have on others by our words? By trying to use our brains before speaking, we will save others sentiments and preserve a healthy relationship between our near ones.

Avoiding gossip

The one who usually starts a gossip or backbiting about someone does not know that he is the one to have the last laugh. People who start commenting and spreading rumors about others usually end up in a muck of politics and bickering about themselves from the other end. Such people should be avoided at arm’s length. Even listening to gossip is as harmful since the listener had the power to listen to negative communication. This unhealthy gossiping could have been stopped if the listener would have ignored the speaker.

Exchange of compliments

We should not limit our compliment intake be restricted to our close relatives. People like our helpers such as servants, cleaners, house maids are those on whom we can count on. Speaking politely to them will ensure that your day is made. They are the ones who offer your services to make your life comfortable. So we should make endeavors to enrich their lives by complimenting and praising them.

Look for positive things in negative people

We all have negative and positive sides. Nobody on this earth has a squeaky clean nature. We all have flaws, however some people are observed negatively by their rude behavior and we become very judgmental about them putting them in the negative category. We should understand that people who are rude have their own weaknesses. They do not choose to be like that. Frustrations at work or domestic front make them act in this behavior. Such people should be offered more help than others comparatively. Talking politely with them will make a difference in their lives and yours too.

Feel positive about you all the time

Quite often we do not realize that we subconsciously become negative. Pent up emotions and unfulfilled desires make us behave rudely towards others and emit negative radiations from the body. Thus we tend to overreact and become rude and harsh to others in some or the other way. This might demolish the social circle that we have. So politeness in the hearts at all means will result in polite attitude.

Whatever is rested in your heart is bound to come out in the open some or the other day. Make sure you have a prosperous life with a polite attitude and selfless love. This will make you immortal in the hearts of millions as people are going to remember for your polite words and not by your status.

A photographer once clicked a photograph of ex-president of India, Dr. Kalam with a shawl placed on his shoulder. After the photo shoot was over, the photographer rudely took off the shawl and walked off. The President smiled. After being asked about his composed behaviouir, he politely answered that maybe the photographer needed the shawl more than he did, and continued his work.

People with big positions come and go but it is only their humble nature that draws millions of people towards them. Their polite words filled to the brim with modesty and love melt the hearts of even the rudest amongst the crowd. By talking politely to all we can make an impact on others lives.
