Bluehacks World(β)0.7 -Knowledge is always meant for sharing!!
A German once visited a temple under construction where he saw a sculptor making an idol of God. Suddenly he noticed a similar idol lying nearby. Surprised, he asked the sculptor, “Do you need two statues of the same idol?” “No,” said the sculptor without looking up, “We need only one, but the first one got damaged at the last stage.” The gentleman examined the idol and found no apparent damage. “Where is the damage?” he asked. “There is a scratch on the nose of the idol.” said the sculptor, still busy with his work. “Where are you going to install the idol?”
The sculptor replied that it would be installed on a pillar twenty feet high. “If the idol is that far, who is going to know that there is a scratch on the nose?” the gentleman asked. The sculptor stopped his work, looked up at the gentleman, smiled and said, “I will know it..”
The desire to excel is exclusive of the fact whether someone else appreciates it or not. “Excellence” is a drive from inside, not outside. Excellence is not for someone else to notice but for your own satisfaction and efficiency…

Love is an act of endless forgivenessA tender look which becomes a habit.”
has been in the wrong which is but saying…
That he is wiser today than he was yesterday.
-Alexander Pope~
The past is gone.
But it is a piece of the experience that
defines who we are today.
All fear stress and regret come from the past.
We can be free of them entirely by
choosing to live in this moment.
In this moment life is simpler mistakes are
less devastating work is more productive and
relationships are more rewarding and intimate.
Our talents and passions thrive.
The world looks different.
As tempting as it may be to fantasize the
what ifs of the past those experiences are only
helpful to us as we live in this moment.
The mistakes of the past are a source of wisdom and
insight as long as we choose to bring those things
to the present and leave regret behind.
Mistakes are a part of the process that every one
of us has to experience to learn and grow.
To forgive the past is to invite hope, peace,
innocence and freedom without limitations
The coneys or rock badgers teach us the wisdom of precaution. How true is the old saying, “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” If you want to avoid temptation, don’t go where you know you’ll be tempted. If you don’t want to get into debt over your head, don’t borrow what you can’t pay. And if you can’t swim, don’t go into the deep end of the pool. God is faithful, but if we jump off a building, he won’t catch us on the way down, as he doesn’t go against his own rules! He won’t change the universal law of gravity because of my foolishness and irresponsibility. He won’t change the moral law either. If I try to break it, it will break me.
The locusts teach us the wisdom of unity. Have you ever tried to row a boat with a friend? If you don’t pull together in harmony, you’ll get nowhere fast, go in circles, or run into the bank. To keep moving forward, you don’t have to over-exert yourself, just keep pulling together. And if we don’t pull together as a family, a church, or a nation, working in harmony with the principles of life as found in God’s Word, we will end up on the rocks!
The lizards teach us the wisdom of perseverance. “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done … Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow—perhaps it all will,” As the saying goes, “Quitters never win and winners never quit
Many years ago, Norman Cousins was diagnosed as terminally ill. He was given six months to live. His chance for recovery was one in 500.
He could see the worry, depression and anger in his life contributed to, and perhaps helped cause, his disease. He wondered, If illness can be caused by negativity, can wellness be created by positivity He decided to make an experiment of himself.
Laughing was one of the most positive activities he knew. He rented all the funny movies he could find – Keaton, Chaplin, Fields, the Marx Brothers. (This was before VCRs, so he had to rent the actual films.) He read funny stories. He asked his friends to call him whenever they said, heard or did something funny.
His pain was so great he could not sleep. Laughing for 10 solid minutes, he found, relieved the pain for several hours so he could sleep. He fully recovered from his illness and lived another 20 happy, healthy and productive years. (His journey is detailed in his book, Anatomy of an Illness.) He credits visualization, the love of his family and friends, and laughing for his recovery.
Some people think laughing is a waste of time. It is a luxury, they say, a frivolity, something to indulge in only every so often. Nothing could be further from the truth. Laughing is essential to our equilibrium, to our well-being, to our aliveness. If we’re not well, laughing helps us get well; if we are well, laughing helps us stay that way.
Since Cousins’ ground-breaking subjective work, scientific studies have shown that laughter has a curative effect on the body, the mind and the emotions. So, if you like laughing, consider it sound medical advice to indulge in it as often as you can. If you don’t like laughter, then take your medicine – laugh anyway.
Use whatever makes you laugh – movies, sitcoms, Monty Python, records, books, New Yorker cartoons, jokes, friends.
Give yourself permission to laugh – long and loud and out loud – whenever anything strikes you as funny. The people around you may think you’re strange, but sooner or later they’ll join in even if they don’t know what you’re laughing about.
Some diseases may be contagious, but none is as contagious as the cure. . . laughter.
