SEE YOUR REACHING

The Catalina Island is twenty-one miles away from the coast of California, and many people have taken the challenge to swim across it. On July 4th 1952, Florence Chadwick stepped into the water off Catalina Island to swim across to the California coast. She started well and on course, but later fatigue set in, and the weather became cold.  She persisted, but fifteen hours later, numb and cold, she asked to be taken out of the water. After she recovered, she was told that she had been pulled out only half a mile away from the coast. She commented that she could have made it, if the fog had not affected her vision and she would have just seen the land. She promised that this would be the only time that she would ever quit. She went back to her rigorous training. And two months later she swam that same channel. The same thing happened. The fatigue set in, and the fog obscured her view, but this time she swam with faith and vision of the land in her mind. She knew that somewhere behi...

How to look good in every photo

Image
Fed up of being tagged looking terrible? Check out our tips for mastering the perfect pose and start looking your best in every shot. Look to your right A US study conducted by Wake Forest University has revealed that the left side of the face is more attractive than the right, apparently due to the fact that this side of the face shows more emotion. To capture the perfect profile picture, look slightly to the right to reveal your ‘best’ side. This can also help to give the illusion of a slimmer face for those with rounder faces. Choose your makeup carefully For the perfect photo-ready appearance, make sure you avoid light reflective or mineral foundations containing high amounts of titanium dioxide (a reflective pigment). Although these foundations are great for an everyday luminous look, the flash of a camera can quickly transform your dewy complexion to a ghostly white one as the white light reflects back from the camera. Once you have applied a suitable foundation, finis...

A Nice Article about Love (by Swami Vivekananda)

Image
I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we weresitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her handwith some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see thiswatercarefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open andallow it to remain there, it will always be there. However, if you attempt to close your fingers round it and try to posses it, it will spillthroughthe first cracks it finds. This is the greatest mistake that people do when they meet love...they try to posses it, they demand, they expect... and just like the waterspillingout of your hand, love will retrieve from you. For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there arepeople you love, allow them to be free beings. # Give and don't expect. # Advise but don't order. # Ask but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime totru...

Stanford Report, June 14, 2005 'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says This is a prepared text of the Commencement address delivered by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, on June 12, 2005. Video of the Commencement address. I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots. I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out? It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I shou...
