[ Steve Jobs Said Your Overall Happiness in Life Really Comes Down to Asking 4 Simple Questions: ]

The co-founder of Apple delivered these words to a newly minted class of Stanford University graduates in 2005. Not long before the commencement, Jobs had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and was given between three and six months to live.

Facing his own mortality had impressed upon him the importance of living the best possible life, and it was a message he passed on to the new graduates, and to the rest of the world watching.

3 questions you should be asking

Jobs's message gave us plenty of things to chew on about what truly matters in our own lives. And to this day, whenever I watch that commencement speech, it forces me to look in the mirror and ask myself some really powerful, Jobs-inspired questions that, I hope, you will ask yourself.

In the face of his looming death, something powerful shifted inside Jobs. He began to live each day as if it was his last--because it may have been. Thinking about the limited amount of time you and I have left on this earth isn't meant to be a downer. On the contrary, it empowers us to use that precious time in the most meaningful way possible.

Jobs called facing his death "the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life." Almost everything, he said -- our fears, failures, and our pride -- "fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important."

  2. "If today were the last day of my life, 
would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

This is a question that Jobs said he asked himself 
every day -- while literally standing in front of his 
mirror -- after being diagnosed with his terminal illness. 

Jobs said, "Whenever the answer has been no for too many 
days in a row, I know I need to change something." If I asked 
myself that same question every day during this stage of my life 
and career, the answer would be a resounding "yes!" I say this 
because I'm doing what I have passionately been called to do and 
I'm living out my purpose.

I urge you to do the same. Be willing to confront yourself and 
ask this same question when you start your day. Pay attention to 
what's coming up for you as you check in with your feelings. 
If you're being true to yourself, it can be frightening to admit 
you're not living the life you want, but it's the only way to pivot 
toward the pursuit of something new--something that may be your true calling.

3. Am I doing what I love?

As Jobs explains, living someone else's life is wasting your own. 
Instead, he urges you to find the role you were meant to fill.

   You've got to find what you love. ... Your work is going to fill a 
   large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is 
   to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great 
   work is to love what you do.

Doing what we love gives us purpose, which fuels our drive to get up 
in the morning and, in the words of Warren Buffett, "tap dance to work." 
Research published in Harvard Business Review concluded that to be 
fully engaged and happy, people need to feel as if their work matters 
and that their contributions help to achieve something important.

When people find purpose in their work, and they love 
what they do, it will not only improve that person's happiness, 
it will boost their productivity. To end on a hopeful note, 
if you don't know what it is you love to do, then.

I urge your first step to be finding out what it is you should be doing. Don't just take my word for it; it's what Steve Jobs would want you to do as well

[ 12 - Allopathy v/s Allah ]

Very often my son used to get fever for no reason.We had a doctor by name;
Dr.Bala Krishna.
the appropriate name meaning child Krishna.
He would prescribe some medicine and he would be fine.
I kept thinking,how is this happening for a healthy child ?.
One thought led to another and I found out that he was getting fever only after we returned seeing a film.
What has that got to do with a baby getting fever ?.
I remembered my mother tieing a silver 'Thali" [a one inch long and 3/8 dia tube] aroung my neck,and taking me to a Masjid [ a place of prayer by muslims] and a bearded man with a green turban tied on his head fanning me with peacock feather hand made long fan on my face.
The next time he had fever I took him to a Masjid which stood in the middle of a road in Oppanagar Street in Coimbatore and there was a bearded man with a green turban sitting with peacock feather hand made long fan and besides him was a small smouldering fire over which 'Sambrani' SAMBRANI (Meditation)
Also known as Jhuna, is one of the oldest incense. It is a balanced resinaceous mixture of several elements derived from tropical wood, barks, roots, and resins. It induces serenity, removing negative thoughts, calming the nervous system and fostering a quiet mental state. It is well used in Indian temples in worship.
a powder which gives fumues usedboth by hindu's and muslim places of worship [if you go to ISKON temple you can see and smell them] the Moula that is the presist would utter some arabic words and fan my son on his face hit his head lightly for 3 times give few fried gram dal to eat.He would eat it and befour we reached our home the fever would have gone.I repeated it again when he had once again the fever it had the same effect. This time I asked him (Moula) what was the reason for him to get the fever.he told me that he sees a black cat with it's mouth open withsharp jaws screeming at him and that scars him,resulting in fever.
The Moula's magic was fine but where does he go in dark to see a black Cat ?.
I found out that it was a streatch of road on our way home where the road was pitch dark as there were no street lights.
When ever we travelled on that road I closed his eyes in my hand and kept taking some thing and would take of my hands when we reached good lighted road.This way the fever never came.
I visited this Masjid ten years back in 1998 and found the Masjid as it was in 1969.Everything had changed with big buildings but this Masjid stood undisturbed.I enquired with my friend as to why this was not shifted since it stood in the middle of the road,he laughed and said that they did try but the workers who came to shift disturbed it's structure with few strokes from a crowbar and fell ill and died the next day.
No one dares to shift or try now he said.The structure is there forever.
You can see it even today.
