God : Problems are Purposeful Roadblocks
Me: Frankly in the midst of so many problems, we don't know where we are heading..
God : If you look outside you will not know where you are heading.Look inside. Looking outside, you dream. Looking inside, you awaken. Eyes provide sight. Heart provides insight.
Me: Sometimes not succeeding fast seems to hurt more than moving in the right direction. What should I do?
God : Success is a measure as decided by others. Satisfaction is a measure as decided by you. Knowing the road ahead is more satisfying than knowing you rode ahead. You work with the compass. Let others work with the clock.
Me: In tough times, how do you stay motivated?
God : Always look at how far you have come rather than how far you have to go. Always count your blessing, not what you are missing.
Me: What surprises you about people?
God : when they suffer they ask, "why me?" When they prosper, they never ask "Why me" Everyone wishes to have truth on their side, but few want to be on the side of the truth.
Me: Sometimes I ask, who am I, why am I here. I cant get the answer.
God : Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create it. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.
Me: How can I get the best out of life?
God : Face your past without regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Me: One last question. Sometimes I feel my prayers are not answered.
God : There are no unanswered prayers. At times the answer is NO.
Me: Thank you for this wonderful chat.
God : Well. Keep the faith and drop the fear . Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs. Life is a mystery to solve not a problem to resolve. Trust me. Life is wonderful if you know how to live. "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the moments that took our breath away!

God : Hello. Did you call me?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this ?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.
Me: I do pray. Just makes me feel good. I am actually busy now. I am in the midst of something.
God : What are you busy at? Ants are busy too.
Me: Don't know. But I cant find free time. Life has become hectic. It's rush hour all the time.
God : Sure. Activity gets you busy. But productivity gets you results. Activity consumes time. Productivity frees it.
Me: I understand. But I still can't figure out. By the way, I was not expecting YOU to buzz me on instant messaging chat.
God : Well I wanted to resolve your! Fight for time, by giving you some clarity. In this net era, I wanted to reach you through the medium you are comfortable with.
Me: Tell me, why has life become complicated now?
God : Stop analyzing life. Just live it. Analysis is what makes it complicated.
Me: why are we then constantly unhappy?
God : Your today is the tomorrow that you worried about yesterday.You are worrying because you are analyzing. Worrying has become your habit. That's why you are not happy.
Me: But how can we not worry when there is so much uncertainty?
God : Uncertainty is inevitable, but worrying is optional.
Me: But then, there is so much pain due to uncertainty. .
God : Pain is inevitable able, but suffering is optional.
Me: If suffering is optional, why do good people always suffer?
God : Diamond cannot be polished without friction. Gold cannot be purified without fire. Good people go through trials, but don't suffer. With that experience their life become better not bitter.
Me: You mean to say such experience is useful?
God : Yes. In every terms, Experience is a hard teacher . She gives the test first and the lessons afterwards.
Me: But still, why should we go through such tests? Why cant we be free from problems?
Me: Called you? No.. Who is this ?
God : This is GOD. I heard your prayers. So I thought I will chat.

save the shark
Currently sharks are being finned and fished to near extinction, with more than 100 million sharks killed globally each year. But as one of the oldest species on earth (over 400 million years old), the disappearance of sharks is having a profound effect on our oceans. Sharks are crucial to maintaining the balance of healthy oceans. So what can you do? By adopting a shark, you can be directly involved in shark research and conservation.
AdoptAShark researchers place satellite and acoustic tags on sharks throughout the year, recording the location and time spent at each site, allowing us to map the sharks’ movements over time. This information can be used to improve shark management decisions, such as the selection of marine reserves or the protection of sharks in important aggregation areas. Tagging sharks is one of the most important first steps in conserving and protecting these awesome creatures.
Although fascinating and beautiful creatures, not much is known about the basic biology, movement patterns and migration of these highly vulnerable species. AdoptAShark’s science teams are tagging sharks to provide essential information about the movements, feeding and reproductive behavior to help save and protect them.
Each shark adoption package includes a personalized certificate of adoption, pictures of and information about your shark, stickers, a t-shirt and lots of fun and educational info about marine conservation. You will also receive up-to-date shark conservation news and be able to follow the movement of your adopted shark online.

Learn spelling
Some of you are wondering if it's enough to just teach children to read. You may think that if you teach reading, spelling will just naturally follow. But will it?
Good question. When you were in school, which did you find easier-multiple choice questions or essay questions?
The multiple choice questions, right? As long as you had general knowledge of the subject, you could usually recognize the right answer.
Reading is like the multiple choice question because it requires recognition of the letter patterns. Take the word pine, for example. The student recognizes that p says /p/, i-consonant-e says /ī/, and n says /n/.
Essay questions, on the other hand, required you to recall the information.
Spelling is like the essay question because it requires recall of the proper letter combinations, spelling rules, and letter patterns. If a student wants to spell the word town, he needs to decide how to spell the sound /ow/. Is it spelled ou as in cloud? Or is it ow as in cow?
If you want kids to be good spellers, you gotta teach them! Though reading and spelling are related, they are different enough that spelling must be taught directly.

GREEN HOUSE
It's time to bring them inside. Not only will they beautify the house, they bring luck too.
The colour green is positively attributed to spreading freshness, serenity and bringing in harmony. We can bring all this positivity inside our home through plants like bonsais, cacti, terrariums and some of the regular medium-sized garden plants.
Space crunch Besides adding beauty, plants also make a room look spacious. a gardening enthusiast, says, "I have plants on the dining table, in the bathroom, at the entrance to welcome guests and on window ledges.
So I wake up to freshness every morning.
"Terrariums can be maintained easily and are cleaner because they are bottled. Chlorophytum and alocasia are suitable plants for interiors.
" Plants also have scientific benefits like freshening the air, thereby increasing productivity and enhancing homes and the work place. "Changing the position of plants helps in giving the interior a new look and filling up empty spaces.
"Bonsais are a way to bring big plants like peepal, mango and neem inside homes," she says.
Experimenting with the pots and plants, her hobby benefits her entire family. Sandeep Maru feels that plants break the monotony of the colour scheme of a room or office.
"With a variety of coloured interior plants like Begoniacece, one has the option to choose the colours," he says. Plant pick Chlorophytum or spider plant: This one has a number of platelets hanging from a stem, making it look like the legs of a spider.
Alocasia: An evergreen plant, it spreads its stems and leaves around the pot. A good filler for the corner.
Jasmine: This one fills the room with its fragrance and keeps the atmosphere pleasant. Moneyplant: It's the most common home plants as it can be grown in water or mud.
It is thought to bring financial luck.

An enzyme responsible for cancer
London, Mar 8 (ANI): Institute of Cancer Research scientists claim that they have found an enzyme which is responsible for cancer spread.
Cancer Cell journal reported that boffins have discovered a way to stop cancer spreading to other parts of the body after finding enzyme called LOX.
According to researchers, LOX is crucial in promoting metastasis.
Cancer metastasis, where the cancer spreads from its original location, is known to be responsible for 90percent of cancer-related deaths.
To reach the conclusion, researchers studied breast cancer in mice - but are confident that their findings will apply to humans with other cancer types too.
LOX (lysyl oxidase) works by sending out signals to prepare a new area of the body for the cancer to set up a camp. Without this preparation process the new environment would be too hostile for the cancer to grow.
Lead researcher Dr Janine Erler explained the discovery as "the crucial missing piece in the jigsaw that scientists have been searching for."
She said it was the first time one key enzyme has been identified as responsible for effectively allowing the cancer to spread.
"If we can interrupt the body's ability to prepare new locations for the cancer to spread to, we can effectively prevent cancer metastasis. Cancer metastasis is very difficult to treat and this new discovery provides real hope that we can develop a drug which will fight the spreading of cancer," The BBC quoted her, as saying. (ANI)
