Knowledge / Green Children
« on: February 28, 2010, 08:23:05 AM »

In the 12th century near Suffolk, England local farmers made a remarkable discovery: a boy and a girl weeping in a field... both with green skin.

The children spoke no English and refused to eat food. They both wore oddly-colored clothing that appeared to be metallic. Eventually they began to eat beans exclusivly after going without food for several days, but only after they were shown how to open the stalks.

The boy grew weak shortly after and eventually died. The girl survived, learned to speak English, and eat other food. Her skin turned to a normal color.

When asked about her origins, the girl described a place with no sun where all the inhabitants were of green color. She claimed that she and the boy were separated from their people as they wandered in a large cavern and, upon exiting, were "struck senseless by the excessive light of the sun and the unusual temperature of the air."

As if this were not strange enough, the same thing happened again almost 700 years later in 1887 in Banjos, Spain. A boy and a girl with green skin were found abandoned near a cave. They did not speak Spanish and wore unfamiliar clothing. Their eyes were described as Oriental in appearance.

As with the first account from England, both children refused to eat at first. The boy grew weak and died, but the girl survived, learned Spanish, and explained that she and her companion came from a sunless land. The account differs from the first as the girl was reported to have claimed they had been caught up in a whirlwind and found themselves in the cave. The girl died in 1892.

The children's true origins were never discovered.  Some say that they were aliens, others say that they are members of a subsurface human culture, while others say they they were lost children whos green coloring was the result of malnourishment.  It's even been put forward that both stories are actually the retelling of one story.

In any case, it's widely accepted that the children did exist... the question is, where did they come from?

Knowledge / 5 Popular Dog Breeds
« on: February 28, 2010, 07:44:15 AM »
Labrador Retrievers

Easily the most popular dog breed of them all, Labrador Retrievers are friendly, lovable, smart and great with kids.

Golden Retrievers

Golden-Retriever

Right next to the Labrador Retrievers you’ll find the Golden Retrievers. These large dogs are extremely kind and gentle by nature and love playing with people and their toys, and they can grow up to 90 pounds.
Yorkshire Terriers

Yorkshire Terriers, also referred to as “Yorkies” for short, are the smallest and mightiest terriers of them all. These tiny pooches are highly energetic and very protective and loyal to their family. This means that they don’t always get along well with strangers and they are not afraid to speak up and let you know this!

German Shepherds

Among the most intelligent and most loyal dog breeds in the world is the German Shepherd. Because of their extreme intelligence and strength it’s no wonder they are the dog of choice among the police force. This doesn’t mean they won’t make a great pet at home. On the contrary – they make great pets as long as you have room in your home for a large, lovable dog.

Beagles

Once raised as hunting dogs, this medium sized pooch is strong for its size. Just don’t expect it to have an aggressive hunter attitude as this dog is kind and gentle and loves families

Just wondering, how many of you have known people, who haven't spoken to you for years...

and then all of a sudden they pop up, after they've been  sweet talking to you for 30 seconds, the next word

that

come out of their mouths are - "dude, i need a favor!"  :loll:


And what have you done in those instances? :pagel:

My instant reaction would be," Buzz Off, I am on my way to meet an old acquaintance, whom i have not seen for last 5 years. I need a favor from him."  :mean:

Knowledge / Mistakes are Good!!!

A reader Jen L. left this comment on one of the post of my favourite blogger…: “We need tenacity to succeed in life. I wish I wasn’t afraid to fail and laugh at myself and then pick up and do it again. Thanks for an inspiring post. I always come here whenever I feel the need to comfort myself”.

Many of us know what Jen L. is talking about. We are afraid to fail and it is so hard to be able to laugh at ourselves and then pick up and do it again. This post is for all the Jens out there who has strong feeling about failure and mistakes. The following are a list of Quote on mistakes by famous people who has a lot of experiences with this topic.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.  ~Elbert Hubbard, The Note Book, 1927

The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way. ~ Dale Carnegie


Mistakes are part of the dues one pays for a full life.
~Sophia Loren

While one person hesitates because he feels inferior; the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.
~Henry C. Link

If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not doing anything. I’m positive that a doer makes mistakes. ~ John Wooden

An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made in a very narrow field.  ~Niels Bohr

The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.  ~Edward Phelps

Making mistakes simply means you are learning faster.  ~Weston H. Agor

In the game of life it’s a good idea to have a few early losses, which relieves you of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated season.  ~Bill Vaughan

No man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes. ~ William E. Gladstone

The trouble in America is not that we are making too many mistakes, but that we are making too few. ~ Philip Knight

Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder. ~ Paul J. Meyer

All men make mistakes, but only wise men learn from their mistakes. ~ Winston Churchill
Successful men keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don’t quit. ~ Conrad Hilton

If the above Gallery of Achievers believed that it is Ok to make mistakes, would it be fair to say, “Mistakes are Good for us”?

Knowledge / Knowledge is not power, Knowledge with Action is!

An excerpt from an e-mail, from my Mentor

I came from a culture that strongly believe in education. Growing up it was all about who gets the best grade. Who did get into the advance classes… Academic achievement rank highest in my culture.During my childhood I was what they called a ‘Trouble Kid’. I didn’t score very high and I was much more interested in real life businesses than reading about it in a class room. I preferred to get my hands on real business by working at one of my parents retail shop. I started there at the age of 7 and by the time I was 11 years old, I did sales, cashier, inventory, purchasing… whatever it takes. I wheel and deal every day after school and on the weekends.

we have a family member who is close in age with me. But we are completely opposite from each other. He scored high in all of his classes and he was in advance classes all the time. I was out to work during my entire childhood and he never earned a dollar until he was out of college. In fact, his mother did everything for him, so he can spends all of his time studying. During our childhood we were compared a lot by both of our parents. Most of those conversation were about; how his test scores are so high and how I can learn to be more like him.

Interestingly when him and I both entered in to adulthood. He had a very difficult time adjusting in many of his jobs. The first ten years of his working life, he couldn’t keep a single job for more than 6 months. It is because he was always slow to take action, and always late for his deadline.

On the other hand, I myself at time wished that I did do more reading and learn back in school. And maybe I would had a easier time. None the less, I adjusted fine in the working world. I was always the first to take action and I didn’t miss deadline. What I lack in Knowledge I made up in Actions and Corrections. It is much easier to push a car that is already rolling and steer it to the right direction, than to push a parked car.

I am not disrespecting academic, what I am saying is: Knowledge is not power, Knowledge with Action is.

Applying Cologne

Wear the cologne of your choice by applying it lightly to the neck area, behind your ears, and on your wrists and elbows. Don't drench yourself. You never want to overpower people's sense of smell. You can also try a trick that some women use to apply perfume: Spray the fragrance into the air, then walk through the mist and let it settle on your hair and shoulders.
