The best self-improving life habits
- 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.
- 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.
- Meditate Regularly: Stop giving excuses. Start with 1 minute of daily practice. When you start seeing positive results, you’ll automatically increase the timing.
- 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.
- Don’t waste your food: Before wasting your food, think about those people who can’t even get a meal for one time.
- 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.

- Count backward when you are angry: Start counting from ten to one when you are about to explode.
- 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.
- Don’t watch news channel before sleeping: To have a sound sleep, disconnect yourself from the news world.
- 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.
- 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.
- Make daily goals: Start with the end goals for the day in mind. Make daily targets help yourself not to deviate from the track.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Be the first to start the conversation: You won’t become small when you initiate the conversation.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Jog: Apart from strengthening muscles, jogging boost your mood and reduce stress. Increase the intensity by keeping a check on your resistance levels.
- Interact with like-minded individuals: Fuel your passion by spending time with people of your taste. Stay away from those who hampers your growth.
- 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.
- Don’t drink water between meals: If you want to have water, have it at least half an hour before and after the meal.

- Wash your mouth after completing the meal: Don’t be lazy. It prevents bacteria from attacking the tooth enamel.
- Focus on your breathing for a proper sleep: Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing pattern.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Emote your feelings: Say ‘I love you’ to your loved ones and comfort them with a warm hug.
- 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:
- They don't check email constantly
- They work on one thing at a time
- They plan
What are some tips for becoming successful?
Chase goals, not people. Let people go. They are nothing.
Practice daily. Whatever it is, practice and practice more. The more you practice, the more you master it.
Have patience and perseverance. These two factors will take you to great heights.
Choose what you are fascinated about. Just pursue it and block all other paths.
Be faithful to your passion.
Be positive. Have an eye of an optimist. Everything is going to be alright.
Believe yourself. Pick yourself up and move.
Rise and rise until lamb becomes lion. Never ever give up.
Keep your feet on the ground. Fly high.
Always listen to your heart. Hearts do not lie...
Compressor Vs Blower Vs Fan
Compressor:
Compressor is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a fluid, either gas or liquid by reducing its volume. The inlet diameter of the pipe will be more than the outlet diameter. This reduces the volume flow rate and thus the pressure of the fluid increases. Thermodynamically, low pressure high volume in the Inlet becomes high pressure low volume at the outlet. Compressor are mainly used for fluid flow at high pressures i.e, the inlet pressure will be low while inlet volume will be high and outlet pressure will be high while outlet volume will be low. There are many types of compressor based on the different principles of working such as
1. Rotary Compressor
2. Reciprocatory Compressor
3. Centrifugal Compressor
4. Axial Compressor
Compressors are extensively used in refrigerator, air conditioner, pipeline transport of natural gas, petrol refineries, pneumatic compressors are used in industries.
Blower:
Blower is also known as "Centrifugal Fan". This fan increases the velocity of air or gas when it is passed into the impellers. The inlet pressure will be low and the outlet pressure will be high. At constant volume flow rate, the low pressure air becomes high pressure at the outlet. This is mainly due to the rotating blades in the impeller. The kinetic energy of the blades increases the pressure of the air at the outlet. Blowers are mainly used for industry purposes and in climatic control after fan due to its high pressure than fan
Fan:
Fan is a machine used to create a fluid flow. The flow of fluid is increased with the fan. It produces high volume and low pressure than the ambient conditions. It is mainly used as cooling device in computer CPUs and other electronic gadgets apart from climatic condition control.
Main difference between Fan and Blower is blower can achieve more pressure ratio than fan. Blowers can produce more high pressured air than fan.
Difference between Compressor and Blower - Compressor produces high pressure at low volumes where as blower produces low pressure at high volumes.
