Are you responsible for the ‘Ripple effect’ ??
Ripples can have positive or Negative effects on our lives.
Negative aspect of Ripples
“ If you try to stop the Ripples
You will create more ripples
Think before you throw the stone ” Sheila Burke
Here the author talks of negative effects happening in the society. So think many times before you indulge in actions.
Examples.
Rumors will have ripple effects, so do not spread the rumours and remember , lynchings have happened.
Shooting from the mouth even before knowing the facts..
Positive aspects of the ripples
“ You can create Positive Ripples in the world.
Every time you offer a kind word,Loving action
Empowering insight or Smile
Because,who ever receives it
Passes it on to someone,
Who then passes it on
Who the passes it on,
Who then passes it on,
Who then passes it on ”
Who then passes it on….. Unknown
Your behavior influences others through a ripple effect. A ripple effect works because everyone influences everyone else. Powerful people are powerful influences.‘John Heider’
Blog this way…..not that way !!
What is the philosophy behind blogging ?
Blogging is a more flexible medium.
Here the you can express the emotions,share the life’s experience with blogging community.
You can prepare the article leisurely,develop common interest with other bloggers, be more inspirational and encouraging ,bringing happiness and smile in everyone involved.
How to blog ?
This is million dollar question.
You are enthusiastic.You wish to be heard.You realized that blogging is the easiest way to reach millions.
Then you are stuck.you are not sure of the topic,and most of the topics are already discussed, dissected and deciphered. Even if you decide to write a post you are not sure how much inspirational,it is going to be and you can not afford to be amateurish.
you want more likes,more comments and unlimited number of follows.
Your wish is to achieve these impossible tasks in the shortest time possible.But then how ?
That is where you can utilize the principle of Beg,Barrow & Steal.
Go through as many blog articles as possible,find out the various material available in tune with your interests,amalgamate the thought processes. Finally Come out successfully with your own ideas.
OMG! Is that the way you advice a budding bloggers ?
Come on, don’t be mean.I never recommended plagiarism.Have patience and go through the Wise men’s quotes at the end.
Benefits of Beg-Barrow-Steal:
1. It can be innovative ,by mixing ideas.
2. Recycling the available knowledge pool can give you more creativity.
3. Creative Commons license allows you to use its contents and you can come out with amazing products
Remember Never ,never indulge in Plagiarism
Don’t forget to give credit to the authors,from whom you gained confidence and the required knowledge.
Now coming to the Wise Men’s wise counsel
If you steal from one author it’s plagiarism.If you steal from many it is research. ‘Wilson Mizner
Good writers borrow from other writers.Great writers steal from them outright. ‘ Aaron Sorkin’
Good artists copy,great artists steal. ‘Plano Picasso’
If you have reached this point, I am thankful and appreciative of your patience.

Before you plug in a multiple socket, know how much power an outlet can pocket.!!!
Many people boast about their ability in Multitasking and even telling that, this is their single biggest achievement in their lives.
What is multitasking?
Well, initially it started as an ability of computer to do assigned jobs simultaneously,thus saving lot of time.
However the idea slowly creeped into the Human brains.
Also we are all aware that human brain thinks very high of itself all the time !!! Here is the example quoted humorously.
With age comes skills, it’s called multitasking. I can laugh,cough,sneeze & pee, all at the same time.
Joke apart,let me give you, some day to day examples.
- Talking over phone while cooking ( as Debra does in Everybody loves Raymond TV serials)
- Driving the vehicle during a phone conversation.
- Getting down the stairs,while talking over the phone.
- Sending e-mails during a servious discussion.
- Answering a phone call while attending a customer.I can go on and on.
“To do two things at a time is to do neither” – Pubillous Syrus in I st century BC
Draining the brain reserves for nothing.
If you Carefully look In the above photo,you can notice the gentleman is doing multiple things at the same time.
1. Enjoying the songs through headphone.
2. Something kept in his mouth,I am not sure may be a red candy or a plastic card.
3. And he is also checking the currency notes in the purse.
“The irony of multitasking is that it’s exhausting: when you’re doing two or three things simultaneously, you use more energy than the sum of energy required to do each task independently. You’re also cheating yourself because your’re not doing anything excellently. You’re compromising your virtuosity. In the words of T. S. Elliot, you’re ‘distracted from distractions by distractions”.Twyla Tharp
The truth of multitasking well said by Heidi Klum
“I’m quite good at multitasking, but I have to do things immediately”
finally….. Remember Multitasking is injurious to the brain-scientifically proved.
Thank you so much for your patience and taking your time to reach this point.
