Ten Rules for Being Human

1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it’s yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, “life.”

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The “failed” experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately “work.”

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. “There” is no better a place than “here.” When your “there” has become a “here”, you will simply obtain another “there” that will again look better than “here.”

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life’s questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

DESIRE is the cause for ALL

Millions of desires are there in the mind and those desires are creating thought patterns.

  • You have a desire to fulfill, and if your desire is not fulfilled, you become angry. If it is fulfilled, you become greedy and egotistical.
  • Your desire has been fulfilled and somebody else’s desire has not been fulfilled, you become proud.
  • You are always afraid that you might not get what you want or that you might lose what you have, so you cling to it.
  • If someone has something you want, you become uselessly jealous.
  • If you want to enjoy good health, you should have a friend with you called cheerfulness.
By properly analyzing your emotions and the origin from which the emotions come, you can help yourself. Try to maintain cheerfulness.

Cheers

Cost cutting tips for IT people

Today most of us learn to live a luxurious life apart from our basic needs. Inflation is screaming us; high commodities and even job loss too. How we are going to deal? The only way for us now is to cut down the costs like our companies do. Here are some ways to cut down our expenses.

  • Eat at home – Avoid eating outside often
  • Purchase only what you need – Avoid purchasing everything that catches your eyes
  • Carry bottled water on travel – Buying outside is expensive
  • Buy local products – Avoid branded when you get the same thing cheaper in local
  • Compare prices and stores – compare prices in more than one store before buying in bulk
  • Pay in cash – Avoid credit cards (Its the only thing eating our whole income)
  • Check your bills – From vegetable shops and to telephone bills

So, we should beware of our little expenses too because a small leak can even sink a large ship. And finally, we should never ever depend on a single source of income.
