Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.
As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.
The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature...
...

Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore...
At that point the frog decides to jump out...
The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature...
Very soon the frog dies.
What killed the frog?
Many of us would say the boiling water...
But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.
We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront/face.
There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action...
If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so...
We have to decide when to jump.
Let us jump while we still have the strength.
Think on It !!

Where the Sidewalk Ends

Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein

There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

Even though........

News from Fifa World Cup

Brazil's FIFA World Cup™ hopefuls began training in cool and rainy conditions Wednesday at their base camp in the hills outside Rio de Janeiro. If the squad had been hoping for balmy conditions at their Granja Comary complex in the town of Teresopolis they would have suffered a rude awakening, with the thermometer showing just 17 Celsius as they trotted onto a chilly pitch.

Under the watchful gaze of 2002 World Cup-winning coach Luiz Felipe Scolari, the 23-man squad began their session shortly after 10.00 after some indoor warm-ups - the three goalkeepers following the programme in reverse. Chelsea midfielder Oscar, coming off a hip injury, and striker Jo, likewise shaking off fitness problems as he looks to play second fiddle to main striker Fred, both joined the group from the outset for an hour-long session.

The bulk of the squad, most of whom play in Europe, had arrived on Monday. Tuesday they underwent a series of fitness tests, preparing to hit tip-top shape for their 12 June Opening Match against Croatia in Sao Paulo. Before then the team will play two friendlies - against Panama on 3 June in Goiania and Serbia three days later in the Morumbi stadium in Sao Paulo.

The Croatian game will be played in the Corinthians Arena before A Seleção meet Mexico and Cameroon to complete their Group A fixtures.

The Art of Teaching

The Art of Teaching

                                                           by Mortimer J. Adler, Ph.D.

Socrates gives us a basic insight into the nature of teaching when he compares the art of teaching to the ancient craft of the midwife. Just as the midwife assists the body to give birth to new life, so the teacher assists the mind to deliver itself of ideas, knowledge, and understanding. The essential notion here is that teaching is a humble, helping art. The teacher does not produce knowledge or stuff ideas into an empty, passive mind. It is the learner, not the teacher, who is the active producer of knowledge and ideas.

One basic aspect of teaching is not found in the other two cooperative arts that work with organic nature. Teaching always involves a relation between the mind of one person and the mind of another. The teacher is not merely a talking book, an animated phonograph record, broadcast to an unknown audience. He enters into a dialogue with his student. This dialogue goes far beyond mere "talk," for a good deal of what is taught is transmitted almost unconsciously in the personal interchange between teacher and student. We might get by with encyclopaedias, phonograph records, and TV broadcasts if it were not for this intangible element, which is present in every good teacher-student relation.

The student's response and growth is the only reward suitable for such a labor of love. Teaching, the highest of the ministerial or cooperative arts, is devoted to the good of others. It is an act of supreme generosity. St. Augustine calls it the greatest act of charity.

Interesting view of reading skills

Reading is an important part of learning English. This guide to how to improve your reading skills will help you improve reading by using skills you use in your own language. In other words, one of the best tips on improving reading is to think about how you read in your own language. Start by thinking about how you read different documents. How do you read the newspaper? How do you read novels? How do you read train schedules? and so on. Taking time to think about this will help give you clues on how to read in English - even if you don't understand every single word. Ask yourself this question: Do I read every word in your own language when I am reading a schedule, summary, or other outlining document?The answer is most definitely: No! Reading in English is like reading in your native language. This means that it is not always necessary to read and understand each and every word in English. Remember that reading skills in your native language and English are basically the same. Here is a quick overview of the four types of reading skills used in every language:Skimming - used to understand the "gist" or main idea. Scanning - used to find a particular piece of information. Extensive reading - used for pleasure and general understanding. Intensive reading - accurate reading for detailed understanding. You can use these reading skills in a number of ways to improve other areas of English learning such as pronunciation, grammar and increasing vocabulary.

and the Oscar goes to.....(by Lauren Smith).

• By Lauren Smith

Ads by PlusHD.5Ad OptionsThe Oscars nominations for 2014 were announced.
Whilst favourites Gravity and American Hustle led the way with 10 nominations each (as expected after racking up Golden Globes last weekend), there were some surprise omissions from the nominations list.
Critically acclaimed film Inside Llewyn Davis didn't receive any major nominations, whilst Mary Poppins-themed flick Saving Mrs Banks fared similarly poorly. One of the biggest shocks was Tom Hanks being snubbed for his role in Captain Phillips - the film's director Paul Greengrass also missed out on the Director nomination. Also a surprise was Emma Thompson missing out on nom for Saving Mrs Banks. Aside from the snubs, there are also some surprises - Philomena has been nominated for four awards (including Best Picture). But what's unsurprising are the nine nominations 12 Years a Slave's racked up, including included best director and picture. American Hustle also got huge amounts of nominations, including all four acting categories for its stars Christian Bale, Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence. It's Amy Adams' fifth nomination - but she'll have tough competition from Sandra Bullock for Gravity, Cate Blanchett for Blue Jasmine, Dame Judi Dench for Philomena and Meryl Streep for August: Osage County. This is Streep's 18th nomination - so no pressure, Amy! Most importantly, the Queen of last year's Oscars (J-Law, obvs) is up for Best Supporting Actress for American Hustle - so expect comedy capers if she wins.Scroll down for the full nominations list - and let us know what you think in the comments below.

HOW TO EVOLVE AND IMPROVE EVERY DAY

Among many others, the best investment is what we can do in our mind. The mental enrichment is the supreme and definitive heritage. Material goods can be stolen, but the investment that we make in our own mind no one can steal. If all our possessions  consist of material goods and we lose them,  in fact we remain without anything. However,  wisdom will always be our main patrimony, because despite  the circumstances it cannot  be taken from us and, through it, we can conquer everything else back. Knowledge is  the way which allows us to win back all over again.
Most of us, adults, certainly have been committed to be better as a person and having a healthy family life and a prosperous career. We take our work seriously always  researching our specialty, making improvements in order  to  achieve a reasonable degree of success. We could, however, have been much more successful,  since we had started  thinking like this when we were very young. If that had happened, we would have established goals,  planned  more.We would read more, research more  associated more with others, sought more information with experts, invested more in our development and, for sure , manage to deal much more efficiently with our money and our time.
