A few hours for future citizens

Hi Friends. You may have seen many children in your neighborhood studying in various schools. Some of those children spend most of the time in schools by attending study hours till evening. Some children go to tuitions in evening after coming from school. Despite all these hours spent, most of the students have some doubts in various subjects. A student may be afraid of a particular subject like Mathematics, Physical Science, and English etc. I am always asked doubts in different subjects by many students in my neighborhood. Some students ask that how a particular subject is to be studied so that they can get good marks. Some students say that they are unable to understand some concepts which are very crucial to understand the subject. I always clarify their doubts and encourage them to understand the concepts.

The same thing might happen in your neighborhood with you or with somebody else. So, why don’t we spare a few hours for them to make them clear about their concepts. At least, two hours a week can be given to them to make them confident. On Sunday, most of you are free. Even though you are an employee and well-settled, you may have a particular subject of own interest. Teach that subject to the students who are not clear about the subject. This helps the students to understand the subject and to mould themselves for future studies.  You are not going to cost anything for this and moreover you do get satisfaction by serving the society. Hardly, you have to spend 8 to 10 hours per month. A few students may get advantage out of these few hours.

If you have 5 to 8 students, you alone can do justice to them by spending two hours in teaching. If more students come, you can take help from your friends who are interested in this kind of activities. Whatever subject you like or the subjects asked by students can be taught. Even you can train them for other extracurricular activities you are interested in, if they have the same taste. This kind of activities fill our heart with happiness and gives self contentment. So think about this and try to serve the society in not only this way but also some other new ways. Don’t forget that we are also a part of this society.

In the Bible, the Lord God suggests an interesting recipe for making bread and to eat it while lying on one side for 390 days. 

The Lord God has commanded Ezekiel to bake the bread using human stool for fuel, then God changed it and said, “I will let you bake your bread over cow manure instead of human excrement.

Herein, we have two types of organic fuel for making bread.

Then the Lord God said: “I will tie you up with ropes so that you cannot turn from one side to the other until you have finished the days (390) of your siege.”

N.B.: if someone is lying and cannot turn from one side to the other for 390 days, he would eventually have a huge fatal bed sore.

 

Then the Lord God gives the following orders:

Eat bread during the 390 days you lie on your side
Eat bread that weighs twenty shekels of a day
Drink water by measure, sixth part of a hin, from time to time
Eat a barley cake that is made on human dung
The children of Israel shall eat their defiled (unclean) bread among the nations (Gentiles), where the Lord God will drive them.

N.B.: A hin is a unit of liquid measure used by the ancient Hebrews; it is about five and half liters.

 

Then Ezekiel said I, Ah Lord Jehovah! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No unclean meat has ever entered my mouth.” 

Then the Lord God said, “Very well, Lo, I have given you cow’s dung instead of human dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.

 

Moreover, the Lord God said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, behold, I will cut off the supply of food (bread) in Jerusalem. The people shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay.  I will do this so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished one with another, and look at one another in dismay.  And have been consumed in their iniquity and rot away because of their sin.

 

———————

 

I wonder what the wisdom of these Biblical teachings is.

Why the Lord God love recommends making bread on stool of man or even cow?

On the other hand, there is nothing like that present therein in the Entire Quran.

Also, Ezekiel is not mentioned in the Quran.

Moreover, the Quran recommends eating healthy good lawful food and forbids over-eating (verses 2:172 and 7:31).

 

The meaning of verse 2:172,

O believer! Eat of the good and healthy things, that are lawful, wherewith Allah has provided you, and give thanks to Allah for it and for what He has made lawful for you, if you really worship Allah.

 

The meaning of verse 7:31

O Children of Adam! Don your adornment at every place of worship and eat and drink what you want, but do not be excessive, prodigal or wasteful; Allah truly does not love those who are excessive, prodigal or wasteful.

 

==================================

 

The Bible,

Ezekiel 4:8-17 (English Standard Version)

 

8And behold, I will place cords upon you, so that you cannot turn from one side to the other, till you have completed the days of your siege.

9″And you, take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and emmer, and put them into a single vessel and make your bread from them. During the number of days that you lie on your side, 390 days, you shall eat it. 10And your food that you eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from day to day you shall eat it. 11And water you shall drink by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from day to day you shall drink. 12And you shall eat it as a barley cake, baking it in their sight on human dung.” 13And the LORD said, “Thus shall the people of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them.” 14Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never defiled myself. From my youth up till now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has tainted meat come into my mouth.” 15Then he said to me, “See, I assign to you cow’s dung instead of human dung, on which you may prepare your bread.” 16Moreover, he said to me, “Son of man, behold, I will break the supply of bread in Jerusalem. They shall eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and they shall drink water by measure and in dismay. 17I will do this that they may lack bread and water, and look at one another in dismay, and rot away because of their punishment.

The Quran, Yusuf Ali Translation

 

Verse 2:172,

O ye who believe! Eat of the good things that we have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah, if it is him ye worship.

 

Verse 7:31

O children of Adam! Wear your beautiful apparel at every time and place of prayer: eat and drink: but waste not by excess, for Allah loveth not the wasters.

Back to my question to the smart and interested reader:

Are the Scholars truthful when they claim that the Quran quoted from the Bible?

Good and bad situations are part of everyone’s life. We tend to notice the bad ones more, because of their negative impact on our progress. They sometimes seem to flood our lives without letting up, and we wonder if they will ever stop. We’ve all seen it at some time. Bad situations often lead to frustration, and frustration leads to failure—and failure leads to a pattern of failure.

 

None of us is immune to bad luck, or adversity. And the truth is, it’s impossible to prevent. However, we always have “opportunity” which arises from bad situations, if we are willing to learn from adversity, and deal with it properly. With wisdom and a positive attitude we can turn bad situations to our favor.

 

Turning Bad Situations Into Good Ones

Because we cannot prevent bad situations from coming into life, it is imperative that we learn how to transform them into positive situations—turn life’s lemons into lemonade. By employing the strategies of success at all times, we capitalize on good luck and transform bad luck into something we can work with. There are a few essential keys which help in transforming bad situations into good ones. Some of the most important are:

 

Never Lose Control – This is true no matter what type of situation you face. You must always maintain control over the situation (and over your thinking and actions) as much as possible, especially during bad timings. Failing in this, bad situations can devolve quickly into catastrophes. Maintaining control aids in making good decisions aimed to overcome the problems caused by bad situations.

 

Learn From Bad Situations – Bad situations have important lessons hidden within them. Intelligent people try to find out the root causes, and how they could have been avoided—valuable information for your future success. In most cases you will discover that bad situations result from wrong decisions you made in the past.

 

Positive Attitude – A positive attitude is among the most important factors that help turn a bad situation around. Those with a positive attitude don’t panic during crises. They focus their time and energy into planning and management to overcome adversity.

 

Stay Cool and Let Things Happen – During those few times in life when things happen that are truly beyond our control, and it is clear that there is nothing that we can do to reverse the resultant damage, we must remain calm and sometimes just let things take their natural course. When a flood comes and you eventually run out of sandbags to hold it at bay, there comes a time when you must evacuate, and return later to clean up and rebuild. Don’t become depressed and don’t give up. Turn your attention to other productive endeavors as you wait out the storm, then roar back to action when the coast is clear.

 

These methods of facing adversity are very helpful if employed correctly. By following these key principles you can turn their bad times into good ones and emerge as a more successful person in life.

The Sound Of Your Life

Millions of people around the world experience different types of discomforts or the other in their lives.

The discomforts may be lack of fulfillment, lack of meaning, dreariness, emptiness and lack of joy in life. This injustice, this negative cycle, needs to be halted.

A powerful line from the movie called ‘Gladiator’ – What we do in life, echos through eternity.

If we look through thousands of years of ’success writings’, they all really say the same thing. They say an abnormal focus on self leads to misery, lack of personal fulfillment and lack of meaning. They also say  the ‘way’ to happiness, joy, generational success, and riches of all kind comes through service.

Solving people’s problems, enlarging people’s lives and creating value for others are small, simple things that can be done consistently to create major results.

The fastest way to change yourself is to improve yourself and to pour value into other peoples lives. When we do things for others, the ‘universe’ has an unique way of doing things for us. What you give away, you never lose. You only get more of it. Find few minutes more each day to work on yourself. Rise early. Read on your lunch break. Find the time. Every day grow 1%.

The best way for you to sell more of your product/service is for to grow personally. Become so valuable to others, that people are thankful that you entered their lives. Create an obsession for growing, for creating a real joy for developing your gifts, talents, and abilities.

And the result you are going to experience is that of a winner’s life at a whole new level. You’re replacing negative thoughts with positive thoughts and people around you see a noticeable change in you. You are a walking, talking, blessing for thousands of people.

Be the change you so desire to see in the people you love.

Accelerate: I Create My Day

LifeStyleAgent likes this quote from Dr Joe Dispenza in the movie What the bleep do we know!?

<!– display body –>”I wake up in the morning, and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now, sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down, and get to the point, of where I’m actually intentionally creating my day. But here’s the thing.”

“When I create my day, and out of nowhere, little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net, in my brain, that I accept that that’s possible. Gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day.”

“So, if we’re consciously designing our destiny, if we’re consciously, from a spiritual standpoint, throwing in what the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life, because reality equals life. Then, I have this little pact that I have when I create my day.”

“I say, I’m taking this time to create my day, and I’m infecting the Quantum Field. Now, if it is in fact, the observer’s watching me the whole time that I’m doing this, and there is a spiritual aspect to myself. Then, show me a sign today, that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won’t expect.”

“So, I’m as surprised as the- as the- at my ability to be able to experience these things, and make it so that I have no doubt that its come from you. And so, I live my life, in a sense, all day long, thinking about being a genius, or thinking about being the glory and the power of God, or thinking about being Unconditional Love.”

“I’ll use living as a genius, for example. And as I do that, during parts of the day, I’ll have thoughts that are so amazing, that cause a chill in my physical body, that have come from nowhere. But then, I remember that that thought has an associated energy, that’s produced an effect in my physical body.”

“Now, that’s a subjective experience, but the truth is is that I don’t think that unless I was creating my day to have unlimited thought, that that thought would come.”

(Dr. Joe Dispenza in “What the Bleep Do We Know?”)

On Friday, everyone seems happy.  The weekend has almost arrived and there is a lot to look forward to.  However, Monday always comes too quickly.  Many may find themselves dreading the return to work on Monday.  It can make people feel stressed, depressed and irritable.  Mondays don’t have to be the worst day of the week.  These tips will help you enjoy any day.

If you want to have a great day every day, learn to control your thoughts.  Thoughts are very powerful and can greatly influence our moods, feelings and behaviors.  If you want to enjoy Monday, change your thoughts.  Rather than thinking, “I can’t believe I have to go back to work” try, “I can’t wait to get started on my project.”  It sounds almost too simple to work, but can be very effective.  Having a positive attitude is one of the most valuable ways to enjoy your week rather than wasting it waiting for Friday.

Another way to enjoy Monday more is to make it a special day.  If you really enjoy taking a hot bubble bath, make Monday night your special bath night.  You may also want to consider eating a special meal, visiting a favorite friend or enjoying a relaxing evening.  Whatever you choose, making Monday special will help you anticipate this often dreaded day of the week.

Another great way to make Monday feel like less of a challenge is to learn to plan ahead.  Getting back into the weekday routine can be difficult after a weekend.  Lay your clothes out the night before.  Pack lunches and tidy up the bathroom.  This will make getting ready Monday morning more enjoyable.  Starting the day off right may help the rest of the day to go a little better.

Monday is the least favorite day of the week for many.  This does not mean that it has to be a bad day.  Learn to enjoy your life each day of the week.  Good times and happy memories can be made on Monday just easily as on Saturday.

Since publishing my first book Simply…Woman! six years ago, I’ve gone from being a newly, separated single mother who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars making publishing and marketing mistakes to a world-wide leader in personal transformation and a best-selling author of three more books.

In fact, it was only by learning from my own mistakes that I was able to discover what I needed to do differently. My failures enabled me to uncover the flaws in my plan and re-work them for success. Since that time I’ve released three more  books with Hay House Publishing and worked on a hit TV show that is seen in over 15 countries. I also got re-married in a fairy-tale wedding.

I’ve developed residual income by creating an enterprise of products, services, and motivational talks, including opening my own coaching school—The SWAT Institute; which I was able to Pre-Sell nearly $250,000 in tuition before ever opening its virtual doors… And the best thing is, I did it all without an agent, manager, investor, or business mentor.

During all these years, I’ve learned how to manage, market, and convert my passion into a career that enables me to share my message to thousands of people all over the world. I’ve done live stages, teleseminars and television shows, write books and create courses all the while keeping in touch with my other passions like teaching yoga & meditation.

Today I’m sharing all these things with you because I want that for you too!

I really worked hard, tried lots of different things, learned from my mistakes and I thank my lucky starts every day that I’ve really put together something that works…over and over again!

As a thank you, especially to my fans for their continued support, I’d love to share five of my secrets on a FREE teleseminar on Monday, August 2nd, 2010!

Bp has people that are employed by them and trained in this type of clean up working to get the oil spill under control. Even those that are trained in this area are still having a hard time. Some workers have been hospitalized.

The clean up has been taking place for over eighty days now.

The oil spill itself is considered America’s worst oil spill ever. Costing over three billion dollars with money going to pay claims made by businesses that have been took over by the spill. It is predicted the amount will rise while cost of clean up efforts are increasing.

Cleaning up the oil spill is a lot harder then expected. The efforts of the individuals involved are making a difference in the Bp oil spill clean up. It is safe to say that for everyone involved including the many people who just see the devastating images of the spill that people just want it to go away. But wanting it to go away is not enough.
