In a country, Peace is a term that most commonly refers to an absence of aggression, violence or hostility. Peace isn’t the absence of violence but rather the presence of justice. In a society, peace happens when different desires are in one agreement. Peace is based on many things, culture, education, family values, experience, & history (to name a few) but the basis is the same-to co-exist without war, killing, & overpowering a fellow being.
However, in today’s world, peace and harmony face various threats. Terrorism, regional imbalance, economic disparity, and social inequality are some of the factors which threaten peace today. We all are so engrossed in our busy lifestyles and yet want our lives to be peaceful. We expect that peace to be omnipresent but what we need to realize is the fact that if we want peace- we have to live peacefully, love everyone, forgive, forget, etc.
It’s not enough to stand around asking if world peace will ever happen because that won’t do anything. Actions speak louder than any words. If everyone starts living the peaceful, loving way, things will change. But someone has to start and lead by example. Mahatma Gandhi once said "You must be the change you wish to see in the world.”We can’t rely on anyone else to do this. We have to do these ourselves.
Acceptance, compassion, and tolerance are the foundation of peace.
Mahatma Gandhi showed that peace ends suffering and oppression, not by warring against an enemy but by bearing witness to wrongs and allowing sympathy and common humanity to do their patient work. Nelson Mandela and Mother Teresa lived different aspects of peace, which was proven to be a viable way to achieve great things.
MOTHER TERESA
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
-Mother teresa
Born Agnex Gonxha Bojaxhiu, Mother Teresa was a Catholic nun who founded Calcutta's Missionaries of Charity ministry in Calcutta, India. For nearly 50 years, Mother Teresa fed and served needy orphans, AIDS patients, lepers, tuberculosis victims, homeless families and indigent people through this outreach.
In 1979, Mother Teresa received the Nobel Peace Prize. The following year, she was honored with India's Bharat Ratna for humanitarianism. In 1985, 40th U.S. President Ronald Reagan and American First Lady Nancy Reagan presented Mother Teresa with the Medal of Freedom .Mother Teresa was beatified (sainted) posthumously by Pope John Paul II and renamed Blessed Teresa of Calcutta.
During her lifetime, although she never sought the proverbial spotlight, the diminutive and humble Mother Teresa was often quoted for her words of faith and simple wisdom.Although I am not Catholic, as a Christian I have found inspiration and conviction in many of the sayings of Mother Teresa. Here are my personal top 30 favorite Mother Teresa quotes (listed in no particular order).
My Top 10 Favorite Quotes from Mother Teresa
"A life not lived for others is not a life."
"Each one of them is Jesus in disguise."
"God doesn't require us to succeed; He only requires that you try."
"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples."
"I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will not ask, 'How many good things have you done in your life?' rather he will ask, 'How much love did you put into what you did?'"
"I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot; together we can do great things."
"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much."
"If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
"If we pray, we will believe; If we believe, we will love; If we love, we will serve."
"If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are."
MY FUTURE....
General Interview Tips
 Majority of the interviewees go to an interview without much preparation. These ten interview tips will help you go through an interview with a breeze! Plan Ahead Be Prepared! Do a little homework prior to the interview. Browse through the employers' website and learn something about the company before you attend your interview. Research the company and the position if possible, as well as the people you will meet with at the interview. Review your work experiences. Be ready to support past career accomplishments with specific information targeted towards the companies' needs. Prepare your facts and get them right! Role Play Once you have finished your research, begin role playing (rehearsing). Be prepared for questions that are frequently asked by employers such as "Tell me about yourself" or "Why should we hire you?" Write down answers if it helps to make your presentation more concise. Try to keep your answers to the information your new employer will want to know. It is good to get the advice from those who are more experienced or better still, from the HR people to get a clear picture on what the recruiters are looking for. First Impression Counts! You never get a second chance to make a first impression! Dress professionally and appropriately (according to the job you are applying for). Flip-flop sandals and singlet are definitely out. Be On Time! If possible, try getting to the venue before the actual interview day to see how long it will take. Public transport may be unreliable, you may have been stuck in heavy traffic, but however reasonable your excuses are, they won't change the fact that your chances are reduced if you are late. Remember that first impression counts! Worse comes to worst, if you are going to be late, ring your interviewer(s) and let them know. It is a matter of courtesy. Be Positive! Don't criticise past employers, particularly within the industry. Focus on positive achievements and views. In particular, avoid negative comments about past employers,. And don't talk too much! You may be shooting yourself in your foot (literally) when you disclose too much of information that you do not wish to be known in the first place. Encourage Encourage the interviewer to share information about his or her company. Demonstrate your interest. Eye Contact Maintain eye contact with your interviewer. Show that you want the job with interest. Adapt and relate Listen and adapt. Be sensitive to the style of the interviewer. Try to relate your answers to the interviewer and his or her company. Focus on achievements relevant to the position. Talk about specific achievements! Interviewers like to know how you felt about a particular success. Some will ask for specific examples of things you've done that you're particularly proud of; how you solved problems; how you learned - and improved - from difficult situations. Be honest! There really is no point lying about your background and/or skills. If you get caught, or even manage to get away with it by getting employed and then get found out, you can be sure you won't be around for long! Job interviews are about matching needs - if there isn't a good match, then chances are that the job won't work out. And finally, don't give up! The fact is that you will not be offered every job you applied for, however perfect you think you may be for it. Feedback from interviews where you have been turned down can be invaluable for improving future results. Ask politely if they can give you any feedback. Always remember that there is a job out there for you somewhere. |

Don't Believe Beauty Labels

Use Oil On Your Skin.. Even If It's Already Oily
This probably sounds crazy, but using an oil-based product to remove makeup or excess dirt from your skin can actually improve your epidermis' condition. Why? Over-cleaning stimulates the sebum glands, which causes skin to over-produce oil. Using oil-based products will have the opposite effect.

You Can Use Exfoliator Daily
Exfoliation is an important and easy way to buff away the dead skin cells that cover up your skin's natural glow. Use a light exfoliator, like the Daily Microfoliant from Dermalogica, to freshen your face daily.

Clean Your Makeup Tools
Whether you use a razor, a Q-tip or a powder brush, make sure to clean your beauty tools. After even a couple uses, they become breeding grounds for bacteria, which can cause breakouts, eczema and many other skin conditions.

Change It Up
Our skin craves different things depending on the time of year. So change up your beauty routine based on the seasons. In the winter, add more moisturizing creams to your daily beauty list. In summer, ensure you're using lots of SPF.

Apply Bronzer Evenly
Before applying bronzer or self-tanning lotion, mix a drop or two of the solution with moisture cream. Blend using your finger or a Q-tip then apply to skin as you would regular moisturizer. This will ensure the cream blends in -- and covers skin -- evenly.

Find Your Shade
When choosing a foundation, test a product on the skin near your jawline. And be sure to do it in natural light. This will ensure the foundation tone you choose for your face isn't too different from the natural shade of your neck.

Stop Taking Supplements
It's true the healthier you are, the healthier your skin and hair will be. But popping supplements without discussing them with your doctor can do more harm than good. Why? Because mixing certain vitamins and minerals can have the opposite effect of what you're hoping. Talk to your doc before popping any pills.

Using Eyeshadow Primer
Primer is a great tool that will help you lock your makeup look in place. But adding too much of it on areas of your face where you won't actually apply colour will actually detract from the look you're going for (mostly because primers are brighter in tone than most makeup shades).

Treat Ingrown Hairs
Apply a product containing azulene or witch hazel to help reduce the swelling and redness that's associated with ingrown hairs. From there, coax the ingrown hair from its location with a pair of tweezers (don't pull it out, though -- this will only make the ingrown hair regrow in in the same way later).

BEST ENTREPRENEUR - RATAN TATA
Entrepreneur is defined as an individual who,
rather than working as an employee, runs a small business and assumes all the
risk and reward of a given business venture, idea, or good or service offered
for sale. The entrepreneur is commonly seen as a business leader and innovator
of new ideas and business processes. (Investopedia, n.d.)
Entrepreneurs play a key role in any economy. These are the people who have the skills and initiative necessary to take good new ideas to market and make the right decisions to make the idea profitable. The reward for the risks taken is the potential economic profits the entrepreneur could earn.
Here i would like to discuss about best Indian entrepreneur, Ratan Naval Tata. Ratan Tata holds the Chairman of Tata Sons, the holding company of the Tata Group since 1991 until 2012. Ratan Naval Tata is also the Chairman of the major Tata companies such as Tata Steel, Tata Motors, Tata Power, Tata Consultancy Services, Tata Tea, Tata Chemicals, Indian Hotels and Tata Teleservices. He has taken Tata Group to new heights and under his leadership Group's revenues have grown manifold.
Ratan
Tata was born on December 28, 1937, in Bombay. He received a Bachelor of Science
degree in architecture from Cornell University in 1962.
Ratan
Tata was honored with Padma Bhushan, one of the highest civilian awards in
2000. He was also conferred an honorary doctorate in business administration by
Ohio State University, an honorary doctorate in technology by the Asian
Institute of Technology, Bangkok, and an honorary doctorate in science by the
University of Warwick.
Ratan Tata is a good role model as serial innovators. Ratan Tata received a lifetime achievement award for innovation from The Rockefeller Foundation. Tata, chairman of the Tata Group, built his family's company into a massive, global business ranging from consultancy services to well-known automotive brands stretching across 80 countries. India’s Tata Group is perhaps the most successful of its mega. It built the nation’s first steel mill, the first power plant, and the first airline.

India’s Tata Group is perhaps the most successful of its mega. It built the nation’s first steel mill, the first power plant, and the first airline.
In 1991, Ratan Tata decided that for his company to thrive and survive in economy he had to make innovation priority- and build it into the DNA of the TATA group so that every employee thinks and acts like an innovator.
Today
those 15 companies have produced such innovative products as the $2,000 Tata
Nano car, and includes firms such as Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), the
Mumbai-based IT services and outsourcing power, which earned almost $6 billion
in revenues in 2008. (Scanlon, 2009)
Followed
by Nano car, Tata Group in 2009 announced the launch of probably the world's
cheapest water purifier, as part of the conglomerate's efforts to stem growing
water-related diseases. Called Swach, the purifier, developed jointly by Tata
group companies Tata Chemicals, TCS and Titan, will have two variants with
retail prices of Rs 749 and Rs 999 respectively. (Bureau, 2009)
Ratan Tata’s new invention “Tata Megapixel”, is going to launch in 2015 which will give huge mileage of 100kmpl. After the success of nano and nano special, Ratan Tata decided to produce the car of 100kmpl for the Indian people as petrol costs are increasing day by day. With the Tata Megapixel invention, the middle class and everyone can ride their own car with great comfort and mileage. Tata megapixel is expected to be launched in 2015. His continuous invention is believed to be able to change and improve the quality of middle and lower class lifestyle in India.
Ratan
Tata is a risk taker in operating successful businesses. Ratan Tata started to take
risk during year of 1971 when he got his first independent assignment, which is
to be director of National Radio and Electronics (Nelco). When Ratan Tata takes
this position, Nelco was in dire straits and Nelco was faced problem of losses
40% and barely 2% share of the consumer electronics market. Nelco was quickly
near collapse again. Second assignment, Ratan Tata asks to solve the sick of
Empress Mills. He tries to do but refused the Rs 5 million investments required
to make the textile until competitive. During 1986, Empress Mills become
floundered and was closed. Ratan Tata faced times of failure, but he still
doesn’t give up. He tracks the record of experience in Nelco and Empress Mills,
then to improve and no repeated mistakes. But, because of Nelco’s losses were
being blamed on him when he join the Tata Sons meeting.
In 2004, Ratan Tata made an interesting statement that is “I am not averse to risk, but I am not a gamble.” From that we know that he is a risk taker. For Ratan Tata in the Indicia, he had a fear that may work out and before that never design a car. But now India going into a new world and done it. He is a more risk-taking than being aggressive. For he is a person that given to taking measures risks that being aggressive. For example, Ratan Tata has gone into West Bengal, a state where no one people want to adventured. But, he has done it by Rs 1-lakh car project in Singur despite criticism from various groups. He brings industry to a region that had been left behind. Reputation as a business leader and risk taker Ratan Tata eventually did. He also protects the unique Tata Culture. From patriarchal concern to an institutional enterprise, he makes the evolution to be steady. He totally is a greater risk taker entrepreneur in business world.
Under Ratan Tata, the group had grown from around $10 billion in revenues in 1991 to about $83 billion by 2011, with iconic acquisitions like Tetley, Corus and Jaguar Land Rover under its belt. When Ratan Tata took charge of the Tata Group from the legendary JRD Tata in 1991, critics did not give him much of a chance. Tata had major challenges to contend with. The holdings of the Tatas in various group companies were rather low, the economy was liberalizing rapidly and new players from overseas were knocking on the doors. JRD was getting on in years and many key group companies were being run by chief executives who were heavyweights in their own right and were used to functioning almost independently. The task before Ratan Tata, to put it mildly, was daunting.
By own motivation and with the desire want to make the Tata group as a successful organization, Ratan Tata came in with a modern mind-set and had to confront a set of tough situations. Having tackled the initial challenges in the first 10 years (1991-2001), Tata spent the second phase (2001-2011) in doing what heads of institutions would be expected to do. He concentrated on nurturing the principles and purpose of the institution, its processes and its people. He put in place the Tata Business Excellence Model (TBEM) across the group, covering seven core aspects of business operations: leadership; strategic planning; customer focus; measurement, analysis and knowledge management; workforce focus; process management and outcomes of financial and non-financial parameters; and business results. He also got in senior people from other companies for an ‘outside-in’ perspective on the businesses.
From here, we can conclude that Ratan Tata have a high self-motivation to make the company successful and growth well and also become competitive among others in the automobile industry. He not only have high self-motivation, but also have clear objectives on where to go and what to achieve. In addition, Ratan Tata also considers the company’s future achievement and makes the vision clear and encourages the employees to be more self-motivated person by asking them to take a talk or training in self-motivation techniques. Furthermore, he also guide the employees to think broadly and positively and visualize themselves in successful projects or assignments.

Bird Flu
Avian Influenza Flu or Bird Flu is a
viral infection that is caused by the bird flu virus also known as the
H5N1 virus.Scientists believe that all flu viruses are
derived from wild birds. The wild birds
carry the viruses inside their intestines. The
virus is contracted through contact with saliva, nasal secretions and feces of
the wild birds.The
virus is also transmitted through contact with contaminated surfaces or
materials.Once
infected, domestic birds either exhibit the “low pathogenic” form which is a
milder form of the flu which sometimes goes undetected causing only mild
symptoms or the “high pathogenic” form which rapidly spreads through flocks
causing death.
The
avian bird flu virus is very contagious among the wild birds but is generally
not lethal. However, once it infects domestic birds like
chickens, ducks and turkeys it is lethal.The Avian influenza virus is an Influenza
Type A (virus similar to the human flu virus) found mainly in birds but this particular subtype (H5N1) of virus has
recently been infecting the human population.
However the risk for human infection is currently low.
The bird flu virus is transmitted through
birds and humans.Let’s go through the symptoms found in birds and humans. These flu viruses occur naturally among birds.
Wild birds worldwide carry the viruses in their intestines, but usually do not
get sick from them.The symptoms for those birds with a mild case
include ruffled feathers and a decrease in egg production. In a severe case, however, birds will
generally die within 48 hours as the virus systematically shuts down various
organs within the bird's body.In order to become infected with bird flu, a
bird must come into contact with the excretions from a contaminated bird. This
can include direct contact as well as contact with materials or other items
that came in contact with the excretions.
Symptoms of avian flu infection in humans
depend on the strain of virus.Once a person is infected by the H5N1 virus it
takes two to eight days before the disease symptoms are observed.The first symptoms the infected individual
feels are the typical flu like symptoms; high temperatures above 38C, diarrhea,
pain in the abdomen, and nose and gum bleeding.The common symptom seen in most of infected
individuals is respiratory distress.This is perceived as difficulty breathing and a crackling sound in the
chest when the infected individual inhales.The kidney and heart also start to fail in
some individuals and lastly leading to death.
Different
types of avian flu virus may cause different symptoms. A person exhibiting bird
flu symptoms must undergo testing in order to confirm that the illness is the
result of a bird flu virus.In general, treatment with the antiviral
medication oseltamivir (Tamiflu) or zanamivir (Relenza) may make the disease
less severe if start taking the medicine within 48 hours after symptoms start. Oseltamivir may also be prescribed for persons
who live in the same house as those diagnosed with avian flu.The virus that causes human avian flu appears
to be resistant to the antiviral medicines amantadine and rimantadine.
Therefore these medications should not be used if an H5N1 outbreak occurs.People with severe infection may need to be
placed on a breathing machine. Experts recommend that persons diagnosed with
avian flu be put in isolation.
The best
way to get rid of bird flu is to prevent the virus. In case
we have to travel to the region where bird flu has spread than we should follow
some medical recommendations.
- Domesticated birds should be avoided
In case
have to be in rural areas then try level
best to avoid coming in contact with the domestic animals and farm houses.
- Open air markets must be avoided
Must
have an urge for visiting and enjoying the local aroma but should avoid such
places as the risk factor of getting infected is very high.
- Wash hands
A consistent habit of washing hands is very
helpful. It helps in keeping infections at an arm’s length. Hand sanitizers
that have at least 60 per cent alcohol are best for using abroad as they do not
ask for water and offer no dangers to children.
- Steer clear of raw eggs
Bird droppings often contaminate eggs should
avoid all those foods that contain raw or uncooked eggs like mayonnaise, ice
cream, and hollandaise sauce.
- Cooking thoroughly
World
Health Organization (WHO) considers that cooked food is not harmful for human beings and offer no risks of bird flu. Should not stop cooking before the
internal temperature of meet reaches 165 F or 74 C.
As for the conclusion, we feel that all of us should be mentally prepared for a global pandemic of the influenza to occur. According to experts of the influenza virus, as a global pandemic of the influenza virus has not occurred in this century, there is a high possibility for one to occur within the next couple of years and a global pandemic is bound to occur – it is just a matter of time for the influenza to develop a new strain.Although human infection of the avian influenza virus is often associated with people who have close contact with poultry, the deadly avian influenza virus is constantly growing and developing over the course of time by antigenic drift and antigenic shift. We have yet to fully understand the influenza virus and its impact in humans. However, for the rest of us, we should be constantly on the look out and on our guards to be regularly updated about the current situation of the influenza virus so that we will not be panicking our lives in times of danger.

Should Euthanasia Be Legalized In Malaysia?
 |
Firstly, i bet
all of you are wondering what on earth is euthanasia. Euthanasia
is a term still new to many of us. Well
for
those of you who don't know euthanasia is defined as ‘GOOD
DEATH’ in Greek. It means self
imposed death in a relatively painless and
merciful way.
Now
as
you all know euthanasia as been legalized in several
parts of the world such as Oregon, US and in the Netherlands.Euthanasia
is
categorized in different ways, which include voluntary, non-voluntary, or
involuntary and active or passive.Euthanasia
is
usually used to refer to active euthanasia, and in this sense, euthanasia is
usually considered to be criminal homicide, but voluntary, passive euthanasia
is widely non-criminal.
Everyone
has the right to choose how they want to live and die.First
of all, deciding if you want to be alive or not is a personal decision. Neither
the doctors nor the government has the power to decide if you should live or
not.Since
it is not their life and they are not in your situation, they cannot make that
kind of decision for you. It might sound like suicide, but again, that is our
problem, not theirs.They
give us the liberty to decide our job, our family, our religion, and even our
sex preference. Why should they not give us the right to decide if we want to
live or not?
That
should be the first right before all the ones I have mentioned. It is not
logical that we can choose in all those other decisions if we cannot first
choose to live or die.It
has been argued that for people on life support systems and people with long
standing diseases causing much pain and distress, euthanasia is a better
choice.It
helps in relieving them from pain and misery. In cases like terminal cancers
when the patient is in much pain and
when people associated with them also are put through a lot of pain and misery,
it is much more practical and humane to grant the person his/her wish to end
his/her own life in a relatively painless and merciful way.
Chantal
Sebire, a
former school teacher, suffered from Esthesioneuroblastoma, a
rare, painful
and disfiguring facial tumor disorder. Reportedly, her extensive
facial tumors took her sight, as well as her senses of smell and taste.According to Sebire, she endured hours-long attacks of
excruciating pain.Chantal
Sebire request
for
legal euthanasia was rejected by the high court of Dyon,
France. Sebire was
found dead on March 20, 2008,two days after the court made its ruling.
Everyone
has the right to choose how they want to live and die. Their decisions lie with
them and people hold their own key to life.No
one else can decide for you how you live, therefore choices are also made by
one, and hence, if one wants to go for euthanasia, it should be granted. He
definitely has reasons why he wants to leave the world.
Next,
comes the economic factor. Many times we do not have enough money to pay for
the needed medical care not knowing if the patient is going to get any better.In
a way, we are just spending time and money on a situation that won’t get
better. Imagine, they are in great suffer and we are paying to make it longer.
So if the patient wants euthanasia, why not do it if we cannot end the huge
amount of money wasted on a treatment that won’t help, but worsen it instead.For
those who are terminally ill, they do not want to be an emotional and financial
burden to their relatives, therefore without their existence; they would be
lightening their family’s burdens.Initially
it may be unfair to their families but in the long run, their decision to give
up on life would help their families greatly.Their
families would then not be burdened by the hefty medical bills and the
emotional strain of care giving.Due
to financial short comings, some patient cannot afford to pay those expensive
hospital bills and thus, view mercy-killing as their last resort. Why pay for
medical care when you know your condition is not going to get better anyway?
The
basic reason why euthanasia should be practiced is because it stops the person
from having a bad quality of life.Having
a patient suffering is not giving him a better quality of life.When
doctors reach this point, then they should be allowed to grant the patient
whatever he wants since he or she cannot offer something better.Even
if they could offer the patient any kind of treatment or options, it is the
patient who should decide how he wants to live his life.We
pay the doctor so he can do the best he can. Helping us in having a better
quality of life is about giving the patient what’s best for him as long as he
wants it.The
kind of quality of life is defined by the patient, not the doctor or government.
Consequently,
when the patient feels he is not getting the quality of life he wants, the
least a doctor can do is grant him what he wants. If the patient’s decision is
to die, so be it.Euthanasia
is perceived by other people as the answer to their want of a quality life.
Spending the rest of your life on a hospital bed, unable to walk, and unable to
do the things you normally do, doesn’t define a good quality of life. After
all, it is the patient who got to decide how he or she wants to live his life.Euthanasia
or physician-assisted suicide is the best thing a doctor can offer to a dying
patient since he or she cannot offer a patient something that’ll make his
condition better.
How
can say that your life is not worth living anymore? No one but you can decide
on this matter. Life and death is a personal decision.Your family, friends, the doctors, and even the government can’t help you
decide. Death is a final decision, a final destination.Euthanasia is necessary to be legalized. Think about it, euthanasia is about
giving people the right to choose how they want to live and die, saves money in
medical bills, and it also stops the person from having a bad quality of life.
If
I were diagnosed with a terminal illness, incurable disease, or faced an
accident that requires me to stay in a hospital bed for the rest of my life, or
only a machine can keep me alive, I would definitely turn to euthanasia.
What’s
the sense of living my life anyway? Why not end the suffering, if I have the
power? Why would I prefer to be a burden to my family? If I’m not living the
quality of life I want, the best thing the doctor can do me is to grant my
final wish of dying with dignity.
