Know your own mind, and you will be as wise as the sages

Know your own mind, and you will be as wise as the sages.

When you take charge of your mind, you take charge of your life. When

you understand your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and desires, you can

direct them to any end you choose. Wisdom comes from taking the time

to study yourself, to know why you are the person you are. Taking

charge of your mind is a thoughtful, reflective, solitary process.

Only you can come to understand the complex inner workings of your own

mind, and you must be willing to spend the time and effort that

gaining such insight requires.

Your Brain Doesn't Know How & It's Not Your Fault

Your Brain Doesn't Know How & It's Not Your Fault A typical human brain is functioning on low capacity. Although the idea that a normal brain only uses 10% of its capacity is a myth, it is true that most people's brains are not functioning properly. For example, studies show that the brains of many people, when confronted with a problem, will actually switch gears and start working less! Instead of switching to logic and "work mode," the brain switches to patterns of frustration and emotion. Most people have simply not learned to "turn on" these higher cognitive abilities when the time is right. Most people are unfamiliar with the states of intense concentration and laser-like focus that come so easily to the great thinkers of our time. To correct this problem, researchers endeavored to recreate the brainwave patterns of overachieving, successful individuals - the most intelligent 1% of the population. What they found is truly remarkable. By helping ...

10 basic points of good discipline for child

10 basic points of good discipline for child guidance Children are not born knowing the rules of life. They learn to be good men and women by first learning to be good boys and girls. Expect mistakes, tantrums, pouting, and crying. How you respond is an important part of how they learn. 1.Good discipline is not punishment Discipline and punishment are different. Punishment is supposed to make a person choose not to repeat bad behaviour. By using punishment, especially physical punishment, children learn how the powerful make rules and the weaker must go along with it, or else. They might learn to avoid being honest about mistakes or to divert the blame on to others (“it’s not my fault”). Because young children do not choose to misbehave, they can feel like failures if punished over and over. 2. Good discipline teachesPunishment teaches what is wrong, but does not help a child learn what is right. The goal of discipline is to teach. It teaches self-control and socially acceptable behav...

THE POWER OF PRAYER

GROCERY LIST : Louise Redden, a poorly dressed lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her charge a few groceries.She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food. John Longhouse, the grocer, scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store at once.Visualizing the family needs, she said: "Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can." John told her he could not give her credit, since she did not have a charge account at his store.Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer walked forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever she needed for her family. The grocer said in a very reluctant voice, "Do you have a grocery list?" Louise replied, "Yes sir." "O.K...
