Limitation is only in your mind

The Following is a small interesting transcript taken from one of Kingsley's books.

A 10-year-old boy decided to study Judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began
lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move.

"Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?"

"This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training.


Several months later, the sensei took the boy to his first tournament.

Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his
opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more
experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched.

Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out.

He was about to stop the match when the sensei intervened.

"No," the sensei insisted, "Let him continue." Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard.


Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament.

He was the champion. On the way home, the boy and sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. "Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?" "You won for two reasons," the sensei answered. "First, you've almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that


move is for your opponent to grab your left arm." The boy's biggest weakness had become his biggest strength.

"Sometimes we feel that we have certain weaknesses and we blame others, the circumstances and our self for it but we never know that our weakness can become our strength one day. Each of us is special and important, so never think you have any weakness, never think of pride or pain, just live your life to its fullest and extract the
best out of it!"

"You have powers you never dreamed of. You can do things you never thought you could do. There are no limitations in what you can do
except the limitations of your own mind."

This short story once again depicts that man kind's most aggressive limitations comes in his/her mind and he/she needs to overcome that to reach the summit in his/her life..

The Ostrich

I've got a very funny email from one of my friend yesterday and I'm very much obsessed to share this with all you folks..!
hop on to read and enjoy..!!

A man walks into a restaurant with a full-grown ostrich behind him.

The waitress asks them for their orders. The man says, 'A hamburger,

fries and a coke,' and turns to the ostrich, 'What's yours?' 'I'll have the

same,' says the ostrich.

A short time later the waitress returns with the order ' That will be $9.40 please,' and the man reaches into his pocket and pulls out the exact change for payment. The next day, the man and the ostrich come again and the man says, 'A hamburger, fries and a coke.' The ostrich says, 'I'll have the same.'

Again the man reaches into his pocket and pays with exact change. This becomes routine until the two enter again. 'The usual?' asks the waitress.

'No, this is Friday night, so I will have a steak, baked potato and a salad,' says the man. 'Same,' says the ostrich.

Shortly the waitress brings the order and says, 'That will be $32.62.' Once again the man pulls the exact change out of his pocket and places it on the table.

The waitress cannot hold back her curiosity any longer. 'Excuse me, sir. How do you manage to always come up with the exact change in your pocket every time?' 'Well,' says the man, 'several years ago I was cleaning the attic and found an old lamp. When I rubbed it, a Genie appeared and offered me two wishes. My first wish was that if I ever had to pay for anything, I would just put my hand in my pocket and the right amount of money would always be there.'

'That's brilliant!' says the waitress. 'Most people would ask for a million dollars or something, but you'll always be as rich as you want for as long as you live!'

'That's right. Whether it's a gallon of milk or a Rolls Royce, the exact money is always there,' says the man.

The waitress asks, 'What's with the ostrich?' The man sighs, pauses and answers, 'My second wish was for a tall chick with a big butt and long legs who agrees with everything I say.'

Got a smile on your cheek..!? share your comments..!!

Embarassing moments

There was a World wide survey of "Most Embarrassing Moment in human life"

the finale had the following three incidents....

Third Place

"It was the day before my eighteenth birthday. I was living at home, but my parents had gone out for the evening, so I invited my girlfriend over for a romantic night alone. As we lay in bed after making love, we heard the telephone ringing downstairs. I suggested to my girlfriend that I give her a piggy-back ride to the phone. Since we didn't want to miss the call, we didn't have time to get dressed. When we got to the bottom of the stairs, the lights suddenly came on and a whole crowd of people yelled "SURPRISE!".


My entire family, aunts, uncles, grandparents, cousins and all of my friends were standing there ! My girlfriend and I were frozen to the spot in a state of shock and embarrassment for what seemed like an eternity.

Since then, no-one in my family has planned a surprise party again

Second Place

"While in line at the bank one afternoon, my kid decided to release some pent-up energy and started to run amuck. I was finally able to grab hold of her after receiving looks of disgust and annoyance from other patrons. I told her that if she didn't start behaving herself right now, she would be punished. To my horror, she looked me in the eye and said in a voice just as threatening, "If you don't let me go right now, I will tell Grandma that I saw you kissing Daddy's pee-pee(dick) last night!".

The silence was deafening after this enlightening exchange. Even the tellers stopped what they were doing! I mustered the last of my dignity and walked out of the bank with my daughter in tow. The last thing that I heard as the door closed behind me were the screams of laughter.

And the Winner is...

This one actually happened at Harvard University in October last year.

In a biology class, the professor was discussing the high glucose levels found in semen. A young female (freshman), raised her hand and asked, "If I understand what you are saying, there is a lot of glucose in male semen, as in sugar?" "That's correct." responded the professor, going on to add much statistical data. Raising her hand again, the sweet young thing asked, "Then why doesn't it taste sweet?".

After a stunned silence, the whole class burst out laughing, the poor girl turned bright red and as she realized exactly what she had inadvertently said(or rather implied), she picked up her books without a word and walked out of the class, and never returned.

However , as she was going out of the door, the professor's reply was a classic. Totally straight- faced, he answered her question, "It doesn't taste sweet because the taste-buds for sweetness are on the tip of your tongue and not in the back of your throat!


Have you ever experienced such incidents in your life..If so then take your time to share it ..for fun

What is the next BIG THING in Technology!!

Hi all ,

What is the next big revolutionary thing going to happen ?

what is the next big thing which can change the way we lead our lives today ?

I dont know yet !!

If you look closely at the way things happened and changed in the past which had a huge change in our lives are Radio , Television sets , computers and Internet. I dont know much of the techical stuff , but I would like discuss about the way it changed the way we want to be entertained , the way we learn what is going on around the world , the way we can seek new ways of employment and the way we earn money.

Radio :

I dont know what people felt like when Radio was first invented and how people were happy to listen when Radio broadcasting was growing popular day by day .But what I can say is it changed our lives in a way we could listen to the News on the same day instead of waiting for the Newspapers , which plays an important role in an individual's growth intelllectually . Radio showed us that there are many avenues yet to be explored for the betterment of mankind.When I was a kid My Mom used to listen to Radio while she was working in the kitchen , at that time I thought Radio a piece of crap because days Radio broadcasting was done in Analog I guess , which sucks of BAD Quality.But anyways Thanks Radio !! , it helped a lot in me growing as an individual . The question I think that would have arised in many minds is that can we see while people talk ? , The answer is Yes !! Televison.

Television :

I cant explain How Happy I was when we first bought our Televison , Joys unexplainable.I think this is the first best thing happened in the last century .The good thing about television is you can make sure if the guy who is talking about is true or not ..you know on a Radio people can talk anything because we can see it .So Television sets made people think twice before they talk about stuff .But I know people can bluff on anything nowadays but they will be caught some time or later even nowadays.As in Radio many of the TV Broadcasting companies are still working on Analog transmission , but in USA I heard that starting from some time in Next Year all the broadcasts are going to be in Digital.Television is great spoiler nowdays but gives you a chance to grow as an individual and learn about stuff if you use it wisely .

Computers :

Computers are the Big thing happened when you consider the economy , jobs and how easier it made our lives.As far India is concerned it created a lot of jobs which in turn helped many Indian middle class families to lead a comfortable life.I think you can do almost everything with the help of computers if you have the right set of skills and equipment available , But I would like to see computers create life , I suppose this is possible too nowadays as scientists have decoded the human genome ,now computers can even help in creating a life with no abnormal births .Wow !! thats not an easy thing to do but seems like anything is possible with the help of computers!!

Internet :

I know that it would be good to talk about Telephones before talking about Internet , I will skip Telephones for now .This the next big thing happened after computers , Internet nowadays plays an important in day to day life , I dont think I have to talk much about Internet as everyone hae their own views on it.

SO what is the next big thing that is going to happen ?Have you ever thought of it ?Robots , you think ? yes and no ..Iam hearing about Robots from a long time but i didnot see any considerable growth on it yet , but there is a chance and possiblity that they might be the next big thing ..

I feel Artificial Intelligence has a fair chance and need of the next big thing .There are reasons why I think , Humans are getting lazy everyday and humans depend on others for what evey reason , humans need some one with them all the time be it to talk , be it to go out , be it to anything for most of the stuff humans need some sort of help from some others .So I feel that AI is can help us in most of the things talk , guide , help .

Let me know your views on it .Iam ready to discuss on this and thanks for checking my long post.

Intro

Alo dear reader!

Welcome to my new blog.
The subject matter of this blog shall be everything related to technology in today's world.

In our time, Science and Technology can't be seen from a high-level simplistic vision and let remain isolated from other important factors, like its social impact and other implications, which drastically influence fundamental concepts like human evolution and seemingly uncontrollable events, like life and death.

Being born, brought up and spoilt in such a technology oriented environment, I can't resist the temptation to contribute something tangible and worthy to its folksonomy!

So here I am, attempting to start a more focussed and mature blog that would be atleast reasonably good to read. My prose at best can be described as incoherent and lacking transparency. But I hope that continued practice will make it more polished and critically acclaimed :-).

Thanks for taking time out to read this boring first post. Would definitely post something better next time.
