Thought for the week!! (Presidents day special)
John F. Kennedy
Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger men.
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.
Man is still the most extraordinary computer of all.
The greater our knowledge increases the more our ignorance unfolds.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly.
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.
Abraham Lincoln
A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.
He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.
Knavery and flattery are blood relations.
No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
No man is good enough to govern another man without that other's consent.

Valentines Day Special !!
When love is not madness, it is not love.
Loving is not just looking at each other, it's looking in the same direction.
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
A man is not where he lives, but where he loves.
Love is missing someone whenever you're apart, but somehow feeling warm inside because you're close in heart.
Love is the silent saying and saying of a single name.
Love puts the fun in together, the sad in apart, and the joy in a heart.
Love is the poetry of the senses.
Love is the greatest refreshment in life.
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
If you love someone, let them go. If they return to you, it was meant to be. If they don't, their love was never yours to begin with...

Don't worry, Be happy
They can because they think they can.
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:
Try to please everybody.
Impatience never commanded success.
Present fears are less than horrible imaginings.
I never think of the future - it comes soon enough.
Enjoy the present day, as distrusting that which is to follow.
There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.
Take care of the minutes and the hours will take care of themselves.

Ways to Boost your Brain Power
- Embrace ambiguity. Learn to enjoy things like paradoxes(A statement contrary to received opinion) and optical illusions.
- Learn mind mapping(A mind map is a graphical way to represent ideas and concepts. It is a visual thinking tool that helps structuring information, helping you to better analyze, comprehend, synthesize, recall and generate new ideas).
- Block one or more senses. Eat blindfolded, wear earplugs, shower with your eyes closed.
- Find intersections between seemingly unrelated topics.
- Reverse your assumptions.
- Learn creativity techniques.
- Go beyond the first, ‘right’ answer.
- Turn pictures or the desktop wallpaper upside down.
- Drink lots of water.
- Vary activities. Get a hobby.
- Laugh!
- Go technology-less.
- Be childish!
- Learn a foreign language.
- Learn a musical instrument.
- Study how the brain works.
- Deliver more than what’s expected.
- Challenge yourself.
- Debate! Defend an argument. Try taking the opposite side, too.
- Change the media you’re working on. Use paper instead of the computer; voice recording instead of writing.
Thought for the week !
A women can forgive a man for the harm he does her... but she can never forgive him for the sacrifice he makes on her account.
In many cases, the more you try to complete, the less competitive you actually are.
Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our own life. Laughing at someone else’s can shorten it.
An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn’t take his education too seriously.
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.
You've got to be in it to win it!
Never explain never complain.
The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it.
A bad day at golf is better than a good day in the office.
Flattery is like chewing gum enjoy it but don't swallow it.
