Don't take this personality test.

I wasted 10 precious minutes in answering questions that are 4 pages long. At the end, they are asking for money to get the report through email.

No where in their home it is said that the personality report costs money. Well, I don't expect them to give it free of cost but they should mentioned it in their home.

Oh, the 'they' is Personality100.com

It is claimed as "PhD certified personality test. I don't understand of course what is that.
I have with personality test questionnaire from various sources. In this website, some questions are certainly unique while most of the questions are quite common.

A very simple website for newbies only.

Please read again my earlier post on Power of Gratitude and then read below.

What happens when you genuinely feel gratitude?
Laurie Brenner says, "That emotional state releases "harmonic [hormones]
chemicals" within your body coursing through your electrical
nervous system as well as your endocrine system.

It's like when you laugh out loud, Vitamin K is released throughout
your body and your cells begin to glow. People who are grateful
and happy create a state of being that brings more of the same
events, people, places, experiences and circumstances to them that
continue to make them feel good."

Thank you Mrs Brenner.

If you liked what you read so far and impressed with Laurie Brenner, then I am sure you would like to read the remaining content of her email to me. I reproduce this because, I am sure, somewhere in your mind, it will make an impact.

"When we experience thoughts of doubts or other forms of
"negativity" instead of resisting the negativity - because remember
- what you resist persists - let it pass through you. Observe it -
allow it to be the contrast that creates what you want - but don't
focus on it. See the positive the negative frames.

Remember I talked about drawing from the right side of the brain?
Allow the negativity to help you create the picture that you want
and focus on the whole picture. Too often when we first start
working with the law of attraction we get "afraid" of our negative
thoughts which in turn creates a spiraling downward which is harder
to climb out of.

Keep your heart and your eyes turned toward the sun. Go outside
and breathe the fresh air. Think about it - what is the
alternative? A dirt nap? If you can't find something to be
grateful for - be grateful for the ability to breathe in and out.
It means you're alive and you have options.

Think about the story of Victor Frankl, a Jewish man born into a
family of civil servants in Vienna in 1905.

In the Autumn of 1942 he, his wife, and his parents were deported
to the concentration camp of Theresienstadt. It is here that his
father died in 1943. Assisted by Dr. Leo Baeck and Reginga Jonas,
Frankl worked at the camp as a general medical practitioner, and
later, as a counselor to new arrivals and those with suicidal
tendencies. Then, in 1944 he was transported to Auschwitz, where
his mother died, and later to the Turkheim, a concentration camp
not far from Dachau. Meanwhile, his wife had been transferred to
the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where she died. (Quoted from
Wikipedia)

Frankl was the founder of logotherapy and Existential Analysis, the
"Third Viennese School" of psychotherapy. In his book, Man's Search For Meaning,

(first published in 1946) he chronicles his experiences
as a concentration camp inmate and describes his psychotherapeutic
method of finding meaning in all forms of existence, even the most
sordid ones, and thus a reason to continue living.

"...We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who
walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last
piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer
sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one
thing: the last of the human freedoms - to choose one's attitude in
any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way..."

Victor Emil Frankl was liberated from the concentration camp in
1945. He went on to do many things, including running the Vienna
Poliklinik of Neurologics which he did until 1971. He lived a full
life, remarried and wrote many books, dying at the age of 92 in
1997.

Of humor he writes, "Humor is another of the soul's weapons in the
fight for self-preservation. It is well known that humor more than
anything else in the human makeup, can afford an aloofness and an
ability to rise above any situation..."

If a man who lived to the age of 92 surviving the brutalities of a
WWII concentration camp - learns to not only survive but find beauty
in all people (both captor and captive), events and circumstances
where others would recoil and find only horror knows this - what
does that say of our own circumstances? How bad is it really?

Do yourself a favor - laugh. Be grateful - be ongoing. Enjoy your
life - find the little things that make you happy and make you
grateful. Write a list of your happy thoughts, read it over when
you're feeling down and you'll find yourself feeling better in no
time!

Enjoy today - enjoy the moment - this is your one place of power."

Common Aptitude Test for MBA aspirants.

Everyone who is aspiring to join MBA degree program are required to take this entrance test. And to perform in this test, private coaching centers are opened and in one such coaching institute, I enjoined my son by paying a big fee.

Like any youth, he soon lost interest and discontinued the training program. So I lost that money. I can surely say many parents sail in the same boat.

“Is there a way can I join an online mba program and get a degree from a foreign university?” asked my son. Now I understand his reason for not continuing his coaching program. He really do not have time to commute and study.

Pursuing an MBA degree online makes the most sense for the career, academic, and personal goals of many learners. Capella University provides an expansive network of academic advisers, career counselors, and learning resources to help support the success of the university's more than nearly 18,000 learners.

I requested a university guide from Capella and I hope it will inspire my son to take up that online MBA course.

The woes of a truck driver.

This happened several years ago. At that time, I just entered the Internet. I did not even have my own computer and used public Internet café.

I accidentally developed a contact online with a log distance truck driver named Michael. He was moving heavy equipments across Canada. Somehow we stuck a wonderful vibration and he went out of his way to help me in several matters online.

We lost touch with each other for some reasons. Suddenly out of nowhere, he contacted me over phone last week. He got my telephone number from the Internet.

He informed with a sad note that he no longer worked for that movers. They have closed down. The moving industry is known for such vagaries. Some moving companies will be in business one day and gone the next.

Then I suggested he approach the reputed Service Network that has tied with a fleet of Long Distance Moving Companies and they have networked with them after some filtering process. Only companies that have already earned a reputation are allowed to register with Service Network.

So, if he gets hired by Service Network, he will never be out of employment due to closures.

What is a problem?

In a beautiful way, Dr. Wayne Dyer defines the problem or what we assume as a problem.

The material world and all the pleasures that it offers are being experienced by us solely though our senses.

Are you with me so far?

Ok, once we get the taste of such pleasures like wealth, adulation, alcohol etc, we strive to please these senses with more of the same.

When we are not provided with these demands of the senses, we say we have a problem. Yet these are problems only in our mind.

Are you beginning to understand? Please read again, think it over and it will make sense.

I surrendered.

So, at last, I surrendered at the lotus of feet of God (Lord Vishnu).

To attain this state of mind, several writers helped me. I can point out Dr. Wayne Dyer, Eckhart Tolle and The Mother. I owe my fullest gratitude to all of them.

Another person who was instrumental for my surrender is Mr. Kannan, my husband's cousin. He narrated great many truths in Hindy mythology and the importance of surrender. He is a Vice President of a Pharamcaeutical firm.


So, the previous Sunday, I and my husband took Baranyasam (Prabatti) with the assistance of family religious leader Srimad Andavan.

Baranyasam means laying down all our aspirations, desires and concerns at the feet of God and dedicate the results of all our actions and deeds to the God.

Believe it friends, a deep sense of calmness has descended on both of us. A blissful peace is being experienced right now.

I chant "Namo Narayana" and immediately feel the peace and calm.

The Anaeho’omalu Bay.

This bay may not be very popular among normal vacationers but it is sought after by sheer nature lovers as it offers outstanding views. One more such place in Hawaii is Kileaua.

The Hawaii Condo that I rented out during my last visit to Hawaii offered breath taking views of Anaeho’omalu Bay. Instead of enjoying incomparable amenities in our condo such as spacious living areas, custom furnishings, and artwork, we launched the condo as a view tower.

Hours after hours, we relaxed in a comfortable sofa and just gazed at the ocean and the aquatic birds.

The only problem we faced was the food as we are strict vegetarians. We can’t make much use of the full-sized kitchen. It seems sea food is their staple.

Since Gebhart has prearranged several other requests of us, we really did not mind the food problem. After all, we stayed there only for four days, it did not matter much.

Gebhart Properties has launched a new website featuring premiere Hawaii resort and ocean front vacation homes for rent on famous places too like Big Island and Maui.

Discover your soul.

Discovering your soul-discovering oneself is man's foremost goal. Sages are doing penance mainly to discover who they are and what is their purpose of life in this earth.

Hindu religion always encourages us to look in and merge with our creator. There are several methods to discover our soul and meditation is the most the productive method.

Eckankar, teaches that life follows a natural order. This lifetime is a precious chance to reawaken to your true identity. If you have a strong desire to find a better, more direct way to God, read Is Life a Random Walk? The truth you seek may be at your fingertips.

His website offers free-books-and-information packet in several languages and includes special information for many countries. Through these books Eckankar teaches spiritual exercises to help us connect with the Light and Sound of God, for a richer, happier life.

Exactly as Krillion said.

I am one among the 90% that is mostly influenced by the sales man at the retail outlet and return home buying a different fridge that I did not originally intended to buy.

We have a pretty long summer. Though the fridge doesn’t break down, its efficiency comes down during hot days. That’s what happened to my neighbor last month.

People consider me as a person with worldly knowledge and they approach me for almost anything. Oh, I pity them but don’t let them down. I will ask for sometime, seek the assistance of Internet and face them the next day with the best suggestions.

That’s how I found out about Amana Refrigerators that has the freezer at the bottom instead of at the top.

I solved my neighbors another problem and that is, who sells that fridge in our area. With Krillion’s help, I was able to locate the nearest dealer and retained my reputation as a person of knowledge.

Oh, no, not again.

A week or two ago, I wrote an article on the nature of news item that we are forced to read, hear or view by just about every news media in the world either offline or online.

It is a pity that the online news sources too take after their offline counterparts and chugs out news that are not newsworthy and that we really don't want to know about. But is definitely assumed by the news media that we want only that and nothing but that.

Internet is a fantastic media that can be converted to be highly productive. This is the fastest media too and the cost of publishing/brodcasting/podcasting/video casting is negligible.

This is a set of 'Odd News" that is appearing in Yahoo right now:
* Wife blames shooting on burglar alarm (AP) Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:21:22 GMT
* Man gets 10 years in license shooting (AP) Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:20:57 GMT

Do you want only these news?

Amen.

Can religion merge with science?

As we incline towards God, religion and spirituality when we cross 40, our scientific past will interfere with our new thinking. Over dependence on science to a large extent has narrowed our mind.

We lose the capacity to listen to our inner voice, overwriting it with assumed intelligence.

Siva Baba's teachings are committed to the merger of science and religion for creating a new world order.

Dattatreya Siva Baba.
Datta is a scholar mystic interested in both the academic studies and experiential dimensions of spirituality

Datta is also the founder of Soul Genetics and Mind-Sound Technology. Tripura Foundation is the charitable and humanitarian division of Datta's organization.

I read a few paragraphs in his web site and he has some new things to say.

I don’t require any advice.

Why should I require any advice on my investments? I am 48, happily married and matured enough to invest in gold bars and more gold bars. Sometimes, I do buy gold in coins also but I love the sight and weight of gold bars.

I am a loyal customer of Monex, America’s gold and other precious metals authority. Many consider Monex as a leader in precious metals dealer but for me, they are the ultimate authority on bullion market.

They not only sell gold, silver and platinum but they keep educating us with what is going on the precious metals market, publish interviews with investment specialists, updating their website live with the prices of precious metals.

Through Monex Deposit Company (MDC) you can purchase silver, gold or other precious metals and coins for immediate personal delivery or arrange for convenient and safe storage at an independent bank or depository.

I am just sharing my views and experience and it is up to you to take it or leave it.

Learn home gardening.

The picture depicts bell peppers. Isn't it a fantastic sight? Beautiful.

Well, if you like the picture and want it to be real in your garden, then you may read on.
I love home gardens but only lack time to grow a proper one. We have a few flowering plants but they are all grown into trees now that don't require any more personal attention. Nature takes care of them and I enjoy the fruits or I should rather say I enjoy the flowers.

Gardening requires patience more than the knowledge. I lack both but I can appreciate gardens with any kind of plants.

I have bookmarked Earthly Garden that is going to be very useful to me and to you as well.

"EarthlyGarden.com is all about simple ideas for creating your own earthly paradise, no matter how large or small. Real stories about real gardens and people who love gardening. Organic, natural, safe gardens for nature, humans and the environment. Tips, information, links, questions-and-answers, short articles, garden book reviews, old-fashioned wisdom."

That was about the blogger Susan Mcneil in her own words. Thank you Susan.

Don't eat fish.

Why people have the hobby of growing fish in their house? It is definitely not to eat them one day but just to watch them grow.

We feed them, provide fresh water and oxygen, decorate he fish tank with plants and colored lights and do all these just to watch them happily swimming around. It is a relaxing hobby. In fact, it actually relaxes you relieving you of your stress.

The reason we hang beautiful pictures depicting natural scenes is also mainly for stress relieving. You become calm and merge with the God in them.

Yahoo featured a front page article today on this topic.


Wasn't it beautiful? Please share it with other.

The best poem.

Except that one poem by Robert Frost, I don't remember any other that I have studied in the school.

But this which I found in a Wayne Dyer's book will be etched in my memory for ever.

"Good Morning,
This is God,
I will be handling
All of your
Problems today.
I will not need
Your help, so have
A miraculous day."


This is to be hung in the wall where it is seen the first thing in the morning when you wake up.
Read it once and start your day.

If you like it, please pass it on.

Choosing the right wedding favors.

Yes, I accept, it is the most difficult task in a marriage. One may even find the most ideal life partner but deciding on the right wedding favors takes more time than selecting the life partner.

There were so many marriages that we have attended and we have accumulated more junk than wedding favors that are to be identified with each wedding and remembered.

Even after a decade or two, we should have the heart to preserve the wedding favors we have received thus far.

It is mainly the lack on interest on the marriage party to choose something unique for wedding gifts. I don’t question their willingness to give but only the indifference in selection.

May be I should print out a small brochure carrying the website name ‘Shopforweddings.com’ and circulate it free of cost as newspaper inserts.

Don't try to be spiritual.

Don't try to be spiritual, be a spirit-Dr.Wayne Dyer

He adds:
Don't be a Christian-be like a Christ
Don't be a Buddhist-be like a Buddha

Can you understand the meaning of these words?

I did and I will explain.

What is the use of calling oneself as a Buddhist if he/she doesn't behave like a Buddha? If one shows all the attributes of Lord Buddha, then he becomes a Buddha instead of a Buddhist.

By showing the face of the GOD, one becomes a GOD. The Godness in us and in everybody will will surface if we truly practise God's qualities.

When we try to be a spirit, we display all spiritual qualities and become a true spirit in the God's sense.
