I really wonder what schools teach these days. Talk to high school graduates and they have so little knowledge of the past now. I know even when I was in school, only bits of history was taught. And grade after grade the same bits. I started out in a one room school. The teacher tried to teach everything she could because she knew some kids would never go beyond 8th grade, particularly farm boys and girls.
I then went to a 4 room which combined the 4 last one rooms. Again they pushed everything they could because that was how they had been programmed to teach.
High school was boring due to knew it from grade school. Plus I had our library at home and parents taught me too. No book was off limits. Learned to be a prolific reader.
This plague is just one of many that humans went through since civilization began. Many plagues occur in countries that lack basic sanitary living conditions in super dense areas. Problem is now with air travel, too much interaction occurs with those countries. Fly to a foreign country and home before you know you are sick.
People today are too complacent. Go to a buffet. How many wash hands before eating? Then those who do use the same serving utensils everyone who didn't paws. Sit down and eat. I have hand sanitizer I use once at table. I open doors by the most awkward place I can, not the common one. Wear gloves in stores all winter. I view everything as contaminated, even aisles someone just breathed in. So I am well prepared for this new plague.
There is a saying that he who does not learn the history of the past is doomed to repeat it. Most of what occurs in the present has teachings in the past. Parents need to get kids to enjoying history. Then they will know we have been there before. And how to deal with things. Like mom used to say..there is nothing new under the sun. And people need to get over the attitude of not me.

Every human being in the world is born through the same process, but every person's abilities and qualities are different. The seeds of both goodness and badness are present in every human being. The seed which gets a favorable environment will germinate, and if it gets your support, it will one day take the form of a big tree.
Well, there are no bad things in us, whatever is there, that all are useful. As long as things are under our control, that are all good and useful, when that are out of control and dominate us, it become bad and harmful.

Inspiration for Taking charge of my life and age gracefully was given to me by a female blogger. She wrote :

“Instead of trying to find ways to cope with feeling old and alone, you have to figure out how to be happy where you are with what you have and create something new in your life - Whatever Your Circumstances. That is something everyone can do. It doesn’t take money, a life partner, or even health. If you’re unhappy with your life, try little steps to make it better. Life is hard for everyone, but we can’t allow ourselves to focus on the bad. You have to turn your thoughts to something positive. And there is always something positive. Start a ritual with a cup of coffee or tea or juice,” she says. “Clean yourself up, put on some music or your favorite morning show, pour your coffee, sit down and write down five good things about your life. Remember to include: clean water on demand, a roof over your head, living in a free country, and no wars or bombs outside your window. ”She thinks the best thing for folks who feel old and alone is to choose to focus on the good things in their life for five minutes. “Try it every morning for a week,” she says.

All above brought me to the point where I've decided to do something "nice" everyday, something small. I will also take note of 3 different things everyday that I can be grateful for in my life.

As we grow in strength in our spiritual life, we give up the habit of worrying. It serves no purpose other than to make us feel tense and miserable. When I stop fretting about things that are beyond my control and focus instead on generating optimistic and kind thoughts, my life can begin to flow in ever more positive directions. Such a light and easy approach to life enables me to take everything in my stride.

Seeing that there are so many experts in all fields on the blogs , Im hoping for someone to solve a small problem for me.

The underwater helicopter has 2 urinals in the cockpit and the left one has sprung a leak at around 31 fathoms. I actually had Bill Gates' personal trainer , come down to 20 fathoms and see for herself what chaos it causes, but unfortunately she could not take the pressure and advised me - on Bill's recommendation - to ask for help/advice on Cs.

I want to thank all experts in advance as this is a terrible situation to be held captive in.


It's a great Sunday.

if you stick to this thought, you will never get sick.

The Secret Of Life

The destination determines the path and the path determines the destination.
The destination finds its own way and the path finds its own destination.
It is necessary to have a goal in life and it is also necessary to do good deeds in life.
If you are not getting the aim of life, then keep doing good deeds, the aim will be found automatically.
If you have a goal but can't find the right way to reach the goal, then keep doing good deeds and hold on to your goal firmly, the way will be found automatically.

If you hold on to one thing firmly, sooner or later the other will find by itself.

The strong desire to reach the destination, will find its own right path. (Where there is a will there is a way)
If you want something whole heartedly, then the entire universe tries to make you meet it. ( it is a movie dialogue)
Now whether it is the desire to reach the destination or the desire to find the way.

When terrible things occur in your life, it can be all too easy to focus on the negative and allow yourself to spiral into depression.

Joshua Ferguson of Tennessee understands these dark moments better than most. As a veteran of the United States Army, Joshua suffered a devastating setback when he lost his leg in an explosion caused by an improvised explosive device. Now that he’s retired and back home with his family he focuses on gratitude to help him overcome his new disability.


“There’s silver linings to anything, you can find something, and even if you can’t, somebody’s had it worse! So stop complaining,” said Joshua, who recently adopted a dog with whom he has a lot in common.


Back in June, a hiker stumbled upon a little dog in a wooded area at Johnson Creek near Burns, Tennessee. The pup was in bad shape, and one of his legs was mangled beyond repair. The hiker brought the dog to the Humane Society of Dickson County where they did their best to save his life. Veterinarians believe that the dog, who they called Scooter, had gotten his leg stuck and was forced to gnaw it off in order to find food.

After Scooter’s leg was surgically amputated the shelter began hunting for the perfect family for the special needs pup. As soon as Joshua spotted him on the local rescue’s website, he knew they were kindred spirits. Joshua volunteered to foster Scooter and the pair soon bonded.

“He makes it easier for me to remember, ‘hey it’s still a beautiful day,’” Joshua explained. “You realize really just how tremendous a journey life is.”

Rest of story:

There are people who masquerade as healers and profess to have the ability to change a person's life for the better, as long as they follow their instructions. This is just another method of exerting control over vulnerable individuals, and establishing a regime of power to satisfy the purveyors need to dominate. These power seekers can be found acting independently or in religious cults. Don't be fooled by their willingness to help, or stories of successful outcomes. It is all a confidence trick. Your mind belongs to you. Don't let anyone try to interfere with it. Most problems can be solved by taking the time to reflect on issues and deciding the correct course of action. You will then have the satisfaction of resolving matters yourself.
