Self-Improvement Blogs (526)

The other night, I poured a cup of milk using only the light from the refrigerator. No issues.
I often wonder (envision) what it would be like to have a loss of vision, or hearing. Twenty years ago, I had a monster inner ear infection and get vertigo sometimes when there is a change in atmospheric pressure. I was able to walk through my house in Miami without bumping into walls. It's different in my condo and I'll shout profanities if I accidentally kick the corner of the bed frame. In a dark room, I become a mouse and guide myself along the furniture avoiding the bed frame.

I know a licensed massage therapist who is legally blind. He was born with normal vision but genetics gave him the same deck of cards that his mother had and she lost her vision as an adult. He studied massage while he could see. He also studied karate... just in case he needed to defend himself as a blind man!
Accepting cash only, he's got a viewer that enlarges anything placed on the scanning bed. He can see light and dark and images are blurred as though he;s looking through several layers of waxed paper. Only a tiny part in the upper corner of his eye is good enough to see the enlargement from the viewer.

I think comedian Richard Prior went to visit Stevie Wonder and found the house was dark. It was fine for Stevie, but Richard couldn't see his way around!

Attitude plays a big part of dealing with a handicap whether it was from birth or something that came about through life. I think it's normal for people to go through depression.
As a teenager, one of my neighbors lost a leg to leukemia. I remember seeing him at the public pool making the best of a summer. He didn't have time to think about depression... less than a year later he died.

I was doing my normal music YouTube surfing and (typical of YouTube) some unrelated selections appeared. I clicked one to see Nick Vujicic, a man born without arms and legs giving motivational speeches. I watched. Not all. But I bookmarked it and will come back to see more. He's got a handful of other videos.
Eye opening to say the least. A man without arms and legs overcomes mountains of obstacles and does seminars to Inspire others. He's got books, websites, DVD's



While my blog is about overcoming blindness, Nick gets through life pretty well...

Love heals all painful wounds. Whether or not we will get love from others is probably not in our hands. But we can give love to others, it is definitely in our hands. So do what is in our hands.


I wish it could happen that so much love spreads in the world that there is no place left for hatred.

Having commented on several blogs and been given the order of the boot, along with other posters, in no uncertain manner by certain O.P.s I have to call in to question people's own mentality. There seems to be a group mentality on here of late which defeats the whole object of blogging. Control freaks springs to mind to say the least.

On one particular blog about libraries I found this interesting comment.

Antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental disorder in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others. People with antisocial personality disorder tend to antagonize, manipulate or treat others harshly or with callous indifference. They show no guilt or remorse for their behavior.

Common sense springs to mind that if you continually slag off others on here by calling them bastards, commie, d*ck heads, get back in the kitchen, do some knitting, the list is endless especially from one particular poster, are you not totally guilty of the one thing that you decry in others.

Answers on a postage stamp please.

A man went to God and asked, what is the value of life? God gave him one stone and said, find out the value of this stone, but don't sell it.
The man took the stone to an orange seller and asked him what it's cost would be. orange seller saw the shiny stone and said, you can take 12 oranges and give me the stone. the man apologized and said i can't sell it.
He went ahead and found a vegetable seller. he asked him, what could be the value of this stone? seller said, take one sack of potatoes and give me the stone. the man again apologized and said he can't sell it.
Further ahead, he went into a jewellery shop and asked the value of the stone. the jeweler saw the stone under a lens and said, i will give you 50 Lakhs for this stone. when the man shook his head, the jeweler said, alright, alright, take 2 Crores and give it to me. the man explained that he can't sell the stone.
Further ahead the man saw a precious stone's shop and asked the seller the value of this stone. when the seller saw the big Ruby, he lay down a red cloth and put the Ruby on it. then he walked in circles around the Ruby and bent down and touched his head in front of the Ruby. from where did you bring this priceless Ruby from? he asked. even if i shell the whole world, and my life, i won't be able to purchase this priceless stone.

Stunned and confused, the man returned to the God and told him what had happened. now tell me what is the value of life, he asked to God.
God said, the answers you got from the orange seller, Vegitable seller, jeweler seller & Precious stone's seller explained the value of our life.

You may be the precious stone, even priceless, but people may value you based on their level of information, their belief in you, their motive behind entertaining you, their ambition and their risk taking ability. but don't worry, you will surely find someone who will discern your true value.
in the eyes of God you are very very precious. Respect yourself, you are unique. no one can replace you.

Why....
life is a paradox?
Life isn't as logical as we may think

While they may appear to be impossible, with time they are often proved right through experience. ... But the truth is, life is often illogical, paradoxical, and just downright strange. There are a lot of things in life that don't appear to make much sense on the surface.

famous saying goes “The greatest minds are always curious”, goes well on Nikola Tesla.

Like....you can’t really take anything or anyone at face-value .....
Man-made patterns are often used in design and can be abstract, such as those used in mathematics, science, and language. ... Patterns are important because they offer visual clues to an underlying order. If you can unlock a pattern, then you have the ability to alter or shape it in order to achieve some effect
WUHAN, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- The 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup's Wuhan zone started its countdown in the central Chinese city of Wuhan on Thursday. Wuhan is the 4th city to start the World Cup countdown clock following Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing.

If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe..Nikola Tesla quote.
The number 3 serves as the only number that equals the sum of all preceding numbers (0 + 1 + 2 = 3). Also, when 3 is added to itself, the smallest perfect number ensues (6). And when 3 is squared, the result is the number that completes the single-digit numbers in the decimal system, better known as the number 9....
There are patterns that naturally occur in The Universe, patterns we’ve discovered in life, galaxies, star formations, evolution, and almost all natural systems,



The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.” “Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.” “The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine...Tesla.

a state visit to Moscow, Billie Bradford, the beautiful and brilliant wife of the President of the United States, is abducted by the Soviets and replaced by Vera Vazilova, a superbly trained Russian undercover agent and actress who is the First Lady's physical double.
As brilliant as every other Irving Wallace book. A great thriller with enough twists and turns to keep you at the edge of the seat provided one believes the preposterous feat conceived by the author. Ignoring Guy Parker's amateurish detective skills and obvious deductions, the book still does its magic.
Great book! I have read ittwicethroughout ! The Second Lady is in reference to a Russian lady who is a body double of the American President's wife. A Soviet spymaster comes up with the idea to train the Russian body double and swap her with the First Lady to learn the American President's military secrets....,
