Ma life taught to me so far...!!

1. Your TIME is precious don't waste it, once it will pass you will regret it. It's not elastic so use it wisely.
2. You are not a slave of your company, find some time for your parents. Because they are getting older day by day. So spend quality of time with them , do not rush for making millions n billions by ignoring your parents.
3. World is unkind place , no one is going to help you in your difficult time, Yea you heard right, so Kill your expectations.
4. Person who buttering his/her boss every time at work place will get more appraisal or promotion than a person who does hard work. No value for hard work in corporate world. Because some morons are on top level.
5. Don't tell your problem to anyone , no one is gonna solve it.
6. Don't discuss your personal life at workplace. By doing this you will embarrass yourself.
7. In love n relationship nowadays true feelings are very rare. Your BF/GF is not going to become your Husband/Wife. ( I am talking about majority) They will show their true colour . So don't take anything for granted.

What stops people from having the life they want?

Comfort.

            In a world of Amazon, McDonalds, Netflix, Uber and Tinder, nobody wants to do things the hard way.

              Nobody’s willing to give up comfort now for greatness later. Everything in life has to be cheap, fast and easy.

         Cheap, fast, easy.

Nothing worth having comes easy.

Nothing worth having comes fast.

Nothing worth having comes cheap.

Make your brain sharper, smarter,lightning faster

        Have you ever tried to remember important information, only to find your mind is totally blank? No matter what, it seems like you just can’t find a way to remember a way to just....remember!

       Well, you are not alone. Millions of people, both young and old, struggle to find ways to keep the brain healthy and memory sharp and strategies to remember important information. Fortunately, there are many ways to can help keep your brain health and sharp.

Keep your brain functioning sharp and lightening fast by managing your blood sugar levels and reducing inflammation in your body.

Remember to Eat Your Brain Food

   We tend to focus on eating healthy as a way to maintain our physical health, but we rarely think to eat foods that support brain health. We know now that foods that damage your brain also damage your heart.

   The foods you eat - especially foods that are rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids - are essential in supporting your memory, mental alertness, and overall brain health. These brain healthy foods include:

• Blueberries
• Nuts
• Salmon
• Avocados
• Coffee

Make sure your thyroid is in also in good health - do this by eating the top foods for thyroid health

Why Does Memory Fade?

According to researchers at John Hopkins University, memory and mental sharpness tends to fade as we age. Decreasing mental aptitude is a result of degrading pathways to the hippocampus, the area of the brain where memory occurs. Interestingly, the increasing difficulty of storing new information and memories also explains why older people tend to focus on the “good old days”. In fact, as the informational pathway becomes more difficult to access, people tend to rely on the memories already stored - not on storing new memories.

While most people blame a degrading memory on age or stress, there is no reason you have to think it is normal or even accept it. Fortunately, research shows that specific mental exercises, foods, and memory devices that are very effective at keeping the “hippocampus highway” wide open and your brain sharp and alert.

Work Out Your Brain’s Muscle

Regardless of age, you are able to train your brain to continuously generate new cells and new neuropathological connections. Like any muscle in the body, the brain needs regular exercise and challenge to continue growing and functioning at a high level.

Scientists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that maintaining mental sharpness requires participating in frequent and challenging tasks that target areas of the brain rarely used.

For example, learning a new language, taking an adult education class, playing a musical instrument, or completing a crossword puzzle all stimulate the creation of new neurological pathways that increase mental capacity and maintain mental function and cognitive function.

Keep Your Brain Sharp With The Five Ws

Keeping your brain healthy is important, but sometimes you just need a way to remember important information. In other words, when important information requires storing in your memory, attach the info to specific questions that you can answer; you can easily achieve this by asking yourself the following questions:

• Who did that?
• What happened?
• When did it take place?
• Where did it take place?
• Why did that happen?

The 5 w’s works by providing your brain with “anchors” - or specific words (who, what, when, where, and why) to attach specific information to. While using this tip will require some initial practice - once mastered, your brain will create specific neural paths that use the 5 Ws to quickly and accurately access the important information you decide to attach to them.

So, keep your brain strong and healthy by eating foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, engaging in regular physical and mental exercise, and by unleashing your inner detective by asking who, what, when, where, and why.

Some good habits for students to practice before going to sleep

The biggest benefits to creating good habits before going to sleep are:

• You get your body and mind used to a routine so you know exactly what you need to do
• You create more decompression time to separate your busy day from the rest you need at night
• You ensure that you get plenty or rest instead of staying up late, which may be tempting especially when you’r studying for exams

These 10 small habits are easy to practice before you go to sleep:

• Set a bedtime alarm on your phone each evening to go off 30 minutes before you need to sleep. The benefit? It will be a signal to you that you need to finish up any activities you're working on: reading, writing notes, doing exercises, working on a class project. Don’t just create this habit for every working day; extend it to weekends so that it has a better chance to stick.
• Reconsider when and what you eat for dinner. If you have a habit of waiting until late at night to have the biggest meal of the day, you can easily have disrupted sleep. Not only will you have to deal with a busy mind, but you may also feel sluggish due to eating heavier foods or eating a lot more than your body needs at this time of day. Avoid fried food and caffeine (often hidden in desserts and sugary drinks), and instead go with a lighter dinner with a big salad and some protein such as grilled fish or chicken. Schedule your dinner at least a few hours before your bedtime.
• Take a short walk after dinner. It can be just 20-30 minutes. Why?Being outside is good for your digestion, you inhale fresh air, and you give your busy mind some time to pause from all the studying you've completed during your day. A walk also sends signals to the body that it’s time to unwind and relax.
• Get away from electronics in the hour before bedtime. This applies to your computer and TV. Looking at a screen keeps you alert and can’t really help you relax. What can you do instead? You can listen to a podcast on a topic you find interesting, or queue up some relaxing music and listen with your eyes closed as you’re sitting on the couch, or read a book to stimulate your imagination. Having a conversation with a roommate or family member can also help if you’re both relaxed and getting ready to sleep.
• Write in your productivity planner before going to bed. Write a list of items that are top priority for the next day (which chapters will you cover? will you need to go to the library to do research?), mark them in the order of importance, and note down how long you think you'll work on each activity. The benefit? This technique is useful because you train your mind to focus a few steps ahead so you don’t worry about forgetting something important, which in turn might keep you awake at night.
• Have a cup of herbal tea (without caffeine), some warm milk with honey, or amagnesium supplement (either tablet or powder form) around the time your alarm goes off. Why? These warm drinks can help you feel more sleepy.
• Make your room sleep-friendly. Sleep in a well ventilated room, keep your window open at least a little, raise the blinds or move the curtains aside to let daylight in, and don't place anything on your eyes so that your body can react to the natural morning light when it’s time to wake up. To prevent any noise from waking you up, invest in a good pair of soft silicone ear plugs like these so you can sleep through the night.
• Take a deep breath of lavender. Try lavender oil! What’s the benefit? It is often used to calm the senses and can help us relax before going to sleep. Keep a bottle on your night stand, and before you close your eyes, put 3–5 drops into the palm of your hand, then rub your palms together to release the essence of the oil. Inhale deeply a few times, then run your fingers over your temples, forehead, around your nose, and smooth them over your pillow for an additional soothing effect.
• Fall asleep to the soothing sounds of nature. Listen to a podcast called Atmosphonic. It’s a collection of hour-long audio recordings of different sounds of nature (from ocean waves to rainfall) to help you relax and fall asleep with more ease.
• End the day on a positive note. Before you turn out the lights and close your eyes, ask yourself, “What went well today?” Maybe you finished a big chapter in your textbook, or spent an hour with a good friend, or made it to school on time, or you had a pleasant exchange with someone on the street. Focus on the positive moments and give yourself a minute to feel grateful for experiencing one thing, no matter how small, that made today a good day.

                   The best self-improving life habits 

1. Keep water bowls: Some birds, like a sparrow, don’t migrate in search of water and die due to dehydration. Place water pots in your balcony, compound walls, or terrace to quench the thirst of birds.
2. Respect customer care spokespersons: Customer care representatives go through a number of hate calls in a single day. End your call by saying ‘Have a nice day.’ A single line will bring a big smile on their face.
3. Meditate Regularly: Stop giving excuses. Start with 1 minute of daily practice. When you start seeing positive results, you’ll automatically increase the timing.
4. Laugh loud as you can: If you don’t like doing this exercise alone, join a laughing group. Laughter boosts the immune system by relieving physical tension and stress.
5. Don’t waste your food: Before wasting your food, think about those people who can’t even get a meal for one time.
6. Sleep with a dominant thought: Tap the power of the subconscious mind by repeating your main goal of life. Sleep with this big idea in your mind.
7. Eat mindfully: Chew properly to have a proper digestion. Don’t eat fast. Enjoy the flavor of the food.
8. Visualize: When everything looks dark and dull in reality, sketch a positive scenario. Visualize your end goals. It’ll give you an instant relief.
9. Have a big heart: In sharing, giver receives more than the receiver because some things in life can’t be measured in physical terms only.
10. Be open to learn from anyone: Set your ego aside while learning. Your subordinate, kids and any other person whom you think are a waste of time can teach you valuable lessons of life.
11. Drink water with an empty stomach: Have 1-4 glasses of water in the before having anything in the morning. It cleanse your stomach.
12. Listen more. Speak less: Do you know why we have two ears to listen and one mouth to speak? To absorb more and talk less. Don’t interrupt. Allow others to speak and then present your viewpoint.
13. Think before you speak: You can’t get your words back. Pause and ponder before saying ill words about someone or sending a nasty mail. Your outburst can become a source of lifetime misery.
14. Count backward when you are angry: Start counting from ten to one when you are about to explode.
15. Be grateful for everything you have: We take things for granted because we have everything in front of us. Ask those who can’t even fulfill their basic needs.
16. Don’t watch news channel before sleeping: To have a sound sleep, disconnect yourself from the news world.
17. Start small: Move ahead in life with small steps. Track your progress on a daily basis. It doesn’t matter at what rate you are growing, what matters more is your persistent efforts.
18. Accept your mistake: You won’t become small by accepting your fault. Don’t just accept it. Act on it to not repeat the same mistake in future.
19. Make daily goals: Start with the end goals for the day in mind. Make daily targets help yourself not to deviate from the track.
20. Strategize your next day plans in advance: Plan your next day before going to sleep. Analyze the output of your daily goals and work out your next day plans accordingly.
21. Say ‘thank you’ to strangers who help you: If someone is taking out time to help you, don’t act mean. When someone gives the direction for the lost route, for example, thank the person with a big smile on your face.
22. Read a book before sleeping: Instead of watching TV shows, take out 30 minutes after your last meal. Books open up your mind because you get insights from the great people.
23. Live in the present: What has happened has happened. What will happen will happen. Shape your past and future by living your present to the fullest.
24. Don’t offer money to beggars: Sadly, especially in India, we hear the news when police bursts begging rackets and rescues innocent children. The mafias, racket handlers, takes the money. Instead of offering money, provide food to beggars.
25. Be the first to start the conversation: You won’t become small when you initiate the conversation.
26. Have the courage to say ‘No’: Raise your voice when your ideas don’t align with others. You are not a puppet. Have your opinion.
27. Wake up early: Make the most of your morning time. As the day progresses, energy depletes in making decisions, meeting different people, and battling traffic.
28. Bow to the rising sun: Cherish the beauty of the rising sun. Being a nature lover, I bow down in front of the sun because it offers sunlight without expecting nothing in return.
29. Jog: Apart from strengthening muscles, jogging boost your mood and reduce stress. Increase the intensity by keeping a check on your resistance levels.
30. Interact with like-minded individuals: Fuel your passion by spending time with people of your taste. Stay away from those who hampers your growth.
31. Do things without any expectation: Help elderly woman to cross the road. Assist a visually challenged person in reaching the destination. If you are sharing a cab, tell the stranger that you’ll pay for the ride.
32. Don’t drink water between meals: If you want to have water, have it at least half an hour before and after the meal.
33. Make your bed: After waking up, arrange the covers to make your bed neat and clean. It helps in making your more organized for the whole day. It may sound simple daily routine, but give it a try.
34. Wash your mouth after completing the meal: Don’t be lazy. It prevents bacteria from attacking the tooth enamel.
35. Focus on your breathing for a proper sleep: Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing pattern.
36. Don’t come to conclusion instantly: Never judge the person’s characteristics on the first look. A person, who looks cunning, may turn out a friendly guy or an individual who looks friendly, may plot against you.
37. Don’t find faults in others: When you point a finger at others, three fingers point towards you. Instead of finding fault in others, mind your own business.
38. Give some space between meals and sleep: Sleeping immediately after a meal makes it difficult to digest the food. Heartburn, a burning sensation that crops up from stomach to chest and even up to your throat, disturbs your sleep.
39. Emote your feelings: Say ‘I love you’ to your loved ones and comfort them with a warm hug.
40. Talk with your servants respectfully: The way the person interacts with their workers reflect their personality. Respect them because no one is doing a favor on anyone.

Three habits that highly productive people have on a daily basis

Here are 3 SIMPLE AND POWERFUL PRODUCTIVITY HACKS that highly productive people use daily:

These 3 simple and powerful productivity hacks will offer some guidance for getting more quality work done in less time.

1.  EMAILS

I am sure this is not the first place you've read it, but it bears repeating. You need to stop constantly checking your email. According to a recent article on Time.com, Americans check their phones 46 times a day, on average.  If you assume 8 hours of sleep, that's about 3 times an hour. Most people I know check their email far more often than that. It's amazing we get any work done at all!

Turning off email notifications (computer, tablet and phone) is a great place to start. When notifications are on, every visible box that floats on your screen, or ping that indicates a new inbox item, is a distraction.Researchers in England found that this small distraction (even if you do not go check your email when notified) has the effect on your brain as if you have been awake for 36 hours or as if your IQ is 10 points lower.

HACK #1:  TURN OFF EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS

2.  MULTI-TASKING

Up until recently, multi-tasking was considered an enviable skill. Science tells us that, at best, 2% of the population is actually capable of doing two activities at the same time. What we refer to as multi-tasking, is more often switch tasking where you are rapidly shifting between tasks. You believe that the switching is seamless but it can actually take as long as 20 minutes to refocus on the original task.When you switch task (think writing an email, answering the phone and then completing the email) both tasks take longer to complete, have more errors, and you experience greater stress levels.

While you don't always have the luxury of working on a single task at a time, when you have an important project that requires significant concentration, you should uni-task, focusing on only one thingBy scheduling to work on difficult tasks earlier or later in the day, you will have fewer interruptions and produce better quality work in less time.

HACK #2:  DON'T MULTI-TASK

3.  PLANNING

Before you leave work, spend the last 10 minutes of your day planning for tomorrow. Review your task list, prioritize what needs to get done, and schedule the time in your calendar to complete your most important tasks. Actually make an appointment with yourself to do your most important work. Be sure to keep in mind the parts of the day where your concentration is best and there are likely to be fewer interruptions. For many people this is first thing in the morning, shortly after they arrive at the office.  For those who operate in global work environments, your optimal work zone might be after the close of business in Europe.

Being mindful to schedule your hardest tasks for your window of peak performance will enable you to get more quality work done in less time. Sometimes, having planned your day the night before, you can arrive at work only to find that everything has changed. You must allow yourself the flexibility to adjust and accommodate tasks and projects that might be more urgent and more important than what you had originally planned.Regardless, when you have a plan in place the night before, you will certainly sleep better.

HACK #3:  MAKE A PLAN AT THE END OF EACH DAY

These 3 productivity hacks will help you gain greater control of your time, produce better quality work, and improve your overall performance.

BOTTOM LINE: Productive people have the following habits:

1. They don't check email constantly
2. They work on one thing at a time
3. They plan
