Morning - new sunshine, new hope, and everything new!

Goodbyes are always hard. But one exception is there, bidding goodbye to a day is not only inescapable but very easy and most of the time it is our much awaited choice.

Tips for Healthy Sleep

·          Make your own sleep time-table – Do not follow the sleep time-table as said by others such as go to bed at 10.00 pm and take a nap of at least 8 hours. You should make your own routine to relax your body and brain. Even five hours of healthy sleep can serve the purpose well. You can decide your bed time as per your work routine. ·          Dinner should be light – You should have light dinner. Heavy food can disturb your while sleeping.  ·          Have dinner at least an hour before the bed-time – Eating close to the bed time keeps sleep away as the body is actively involved in metabolizing the food consumed.

Mistakes Do Happen

Yes, mistakes can happen even if you try every attempt to avoid them. Mistakes happen not knowingly. You came to know only when everything went wrong. They are like unwanted guests, who irritate you badly till when they are at your place. But it is not so that you will suffer the consequence throughout your life just due to few mistakes. You can correct them once you realize. Guests do not come to your place to stay forever. They will go later or sooner. But if you provide them the liberty to stay in your home without showing your pain, they will enjoy their stay in your place and not bother to move. So are the mistakes. If you will not try to rectify your mistakes, they will keep pinching you for long time. So, don’t get adjustable with them, weed them out as soon as possible. We are human and not God. So, it is very usual for us to commit mistakes. But repetition of mistakes is not at all good. Those who repeat mistakes are not being, they are either fool, demon, or impractical.

Intellect entails responsibility

The more intellect a person has the more he/she is responsible. When the intellect is missing, the responsibility is also not there.  Little children are not held responsible, because their intellect has not yet developed. The insane are not responsible, because they have lost the intellectual capacity. However, part of our being human is also that we make mistakes. Sometime we make mistakes without deliberation and intention. But sometime we knowingly and deliberately sin and do wrong to others. It is said, “to err is human and to forgive is divine.” Both parts of this statement are very true. As human beings we are responsible, but we do also make mistakes and we are constantly in need of forgiveness.  source - http://www.islamawareness.net/Salvation/forgiveness.html

2012

Lots of speculations are there for the year 2012. Some predicted that 2012 date marks the end of the world or a similar catastrophe . But I can foresee a good time ahead. Indeed, the developing technologies have threat to environment but our intellectual environmentalists are working hard in creating awareness to conserve the nature and make it a better place to live. Individuals have also understood the importance of pure water, fresh air, and hygiene surroundings. They are individually working to make their surrounding clean and environmentally healthy. The situation is still controllable and prevention is better than cure. So, let’s be active and save the world. Take an oath to create minimum pollution and save the resources. Your small carefulness such as switching of bulb when not in use, not to leave water tap running, save LPG while cooking, and more can do a lot.  Green World!!!
