Interesting Facts

There are so many interesting facts in this world (#world of facts). But those that appear to be interesting for me might not be interesting to others.That's what the beauty of this world. A world with people of different culture, different opinions, different tastes, different preferences, different interests..... But irrespective of all these differences, life is obviously the most super excited gift that anyone have ever received... We are  #TheHumans #GoToPeaksInEnjoyment #NoLimitsExistUntilUThinkSo and finally #BeUrSelf :) ;)    

Words for Life

Came across this beautiful story while browsing. Couldn't stop sharing...


A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river next morning. They met. Socrates asked the young man to walk with him towards the river. When the water got up to their neck, Socrates took the young man by surprise and ducked him into the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates was strong and kept him there until the boy started turning blue. Socrates pulled his head out of the water and the first thing the young man did was to gasp and take a deep breathe of air. Socrates asked, 'What did you want the most when you were there?'.The boy replied "Air." Socrates said, "This is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted the air, then you will get it". There is no other secret.

A burning desire is the starting point of all accomplishment.

Just like a small  fire cannot give much heat, a weak desire cannot produce great results...

Quilling Earrings

Hello everyone.... Here I am back with an amazing article.This is something that I have made and couldn't stop sharing.Have a look at it.

Aren't they pretty ? I was very pleased when I had finished.I never expected it to come out this well.Wondering how to make this.Here I've written an article on it.Click here to read it.Signing off for the day.Adios!!!

Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.
                                                                                          -Steve Jobs

Your time is Limited,so don't waste it living someone else's life

Here is an amazing speech by Steve Jobs at stanford which is so inspiring and eye opening for each and every graduate.

Here are some amazing words that I liked from it:

• It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it.Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick.Don't loose faith.I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.You have got to find what you love.And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers.Your work is going to fill a large part of your life and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.If you haven't found it yet,keep looking.Don't settle.

• When I was 17,I read a quote that  went something like:"If you live each day as if it was your last,someday you'll most certainly be right."It made an impression on me,and since then,for the past 33 years,I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself:"If today were the last day of my life,would I want to do what I am about to do today?"And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row,I know I need to change something.

• Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life.Because almost everything-all external expectations,all pride,all fear of embarrassment or failure-these things just fall away in the face of death,leaving only what is truly important.Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you something to lose.You are already naked.There is no reason not to follow your heart.

• No one wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.And yet death id the destination we all share.No one has ever escaped it.And that is as it should be,because Death is very likely the single best invention of life.It is Life's change agent.It clears out the old to make way for the new.Right now the new is you,but someday not too long from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic,but it is quite true.

• Your time is limited,so don't waste it living someone else's life.Don't be trapped by dogma-which is living with the results of other people's thinking.Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice.And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.They somehow already know what you truly want to become.Everything else is secondary.

Sometimes belief in something strongly results in some amazing things which you can't believe.... :)

Today I have read a beautiful article by one of my favorite blog writers(Preeti shenoy).click here to read it.

Here are some great words from it:

Thoughts are powerful.Conveying them through words is more powerful.And once something enters you ,you internalise it,it shapes you in some way.               Make your choices well as You are loved and You are precious.

Conjunctions

CONJUNCTIONS are words that link other words in a sentence and shows their relationship.Conjunctions can be categorized into four types:Coordinating,correlative,adverbial and subordinating conjunctions.

Some of the commonly used correlative conjunctions are:

• not only....... but also

Some of the examples of prepositional phrases are

Adverbs

ADVERBS modify and describe adjective,verb and other adverbs.

Some of the adverbs which do not end with -ly are :

• quite

• well

• so

• soon

• always

• often

(1).ACTION VERBS demonstrates an action.And this type of nouns are majorly used.

• The girl sang loudly. 

• Sir shouted at him.

(2).LINKING OR STATE OF BEING VERBS tells the condition of someone or something.
