GARBAGE-DUMP THINKING

-
In a large southern city there is a magnificent
new shopping center which stands on the former city garbage
dump. For over a century no one saw this location as anything but
the "garbage dump." About twenty-five years ago, however,
some progressive-minded citizens started "seeing" that location
as a beautiful new shopping center. Immediately they stopped
dumping garbage and started hauling good, clean fill dirt and
dumping it over the century-old garbage. They did this until a
solid foundation was prepared. It was on this foundation that they
built a magnificent new shopping center. But really this
shopping center is built on garbage, isn't it?

I tell this story because the chances are that over a period of
time, people have been dumping "garbage" into your mind. What
you must understand, however, is it doesn't really matter if
garbage has been dumped into your mind in the past. In fact, it
doesn't even matter if others, through either malice or ignorance
have built low ceilings over you. You can overcome all of that
"garbage," so I'm going to say to you, "Happy Birthday," because
today is the first day of the rest of your life. The past is over and
the fact you have read this far indicates you are now in the process
of building a foundation for a greater future.

Warning! "Garbage" has probably been dumped into your mind for a long time. Realistically we should understand that a
person suffering from malnutrition cannot be restored to
complete physical health by eating one well balanced meal,
regardless of how big or good it might be. So please understand
that for the moment all we can do is cover that "garbage" with a
thin veneer of positive thinking and right mental attitude. The
chances are good that periodically some of that "garbage" will
pop through the veneer and you will suffer again from "stinkin'
thinkin'." However, keep moving because every in every move you
absorb will bury that "garbage" deeper and deeper, until you will
eventually bury the old garbage. However, since we live in a
negative society, we will always have the problem of fresh
garbage being dumped into our minds on a daily basis. A friend,
an acquaintance, or an overheard conversation can drop a couple
of fast loads of garbage into our minds. We switch on the radio or
the television and boom-boom, somebody else dumps fresh
garbage into our minds. Now we have the problem of stinkin'
thinkin' again, so what do we do now, Coach? Keep reading, the
answer is spelled out in minute detail in another Segment. I'll
guarantee it.

Kill the Pressure not Yourself

Hi Guys  !! Hope you all are doing well in your lives. This blog is mainly for the students and the youth which is said to be the backbone of development in today's era. Have you ever heard of a soldier shooting himself in the war due to the fear of the enemy  ? Have to ever seen a runner quit a race in the middle because he is exhausted  ? if not then why do people kill themselves when they can't handle the pressure , especially the students. Now a days the suicide rate is increasing all over the globe and students are the major chunk of those committing suicide and behind the majority of these suicides is the pressure of study . the other being not getting job , not getting the life of your parent's expectations etc.. guys "life is that Warfield where you win only by the weapon of determination and self confidence" , these two are the only way to win this war called life and once you win the world is yours .

The Worth of Words in a Sentence ??

Hey friends back after a really long time. Hope everyone's doing fine in their lives !! Let's start with a question "Have you ever observed that you realise the true worth of someone or something when they have gone from your life ??"                                               I guess it would have happened with many of you be it small pencil box in childhood or someone really close to you when you grow up, sometimes you really don't care for things you already have but you realise their worth when they are no more with you . Ok let's take an example , you don't actually understand the importance of the individual words forming a complete sentence . It's when any word is removed from the sentence and the sentence becomes meaningless then we understand the worth of that word . Now consider " life " as a " sentence " and the " people and things " as " wo...

How To Study Once and Remember Things Without Going Over Them Twice?

You have read your notes again. Then you read them again. Then you read them a third time. Then you take the test and you are surprised to see how much you have missed despite reading it all three times! One problem is to waste a lot of study time: you can not learn things the first time. Go over and over on the same information, like putting a band-aid on a sieve. This can reduce the amount of water that passes, but that does not solve the fundamental problem: you have too many holes. The key to reducing study time is simple: learn things the first time you see them, instead of dozens of repetitions. All this is easier said than done. I’m sure if your mind was devoid of holes, you could easily capture any information that would slip into it. The real question is how can you do that? I do not think it’s a genius or a chance, but the way you study. First step: find the holes If you want to repair a leaking brain, you need to determine where the holes are. Identify ...
