Be True To Yourself

Be True To Yourself

Never compromise your values and beliefs,
even it if means risking ridicule and rejection.

Be true to yourself. Live your own life.
And don't allow others to decide what is best for you.

If you do, you will be unhappy,
because, you're untrue to yourself.

fly

Flying high in the blue sky
Flying high just you and I
Let us fly with love

Oh my loved one

All the time
when I think of you
my thoughts are always
warm and true
Every time
when you pass my way
I feel that
you are here to stay
If I must say dont go
that you stay for more

For day by day
my love will
grow and grow and grow

You belong to me
Oh my loved one
You are in my heart
all day long

dreams

you are in my dreams
All day all Night
In my heart I feel only you

liberty

 I wrote about liberty in

social occasions--the problem of having to fake and lie in order to be polite, and does this perpetual game of faking in social situations lead to the

"destruction of the moral fiber of society."

faker

People often think I'm a faker, but I'm usually honest, in a certain way--in such a way that often nobody believes me!

Life

Life is not a rehearsal... Each day is a real show... No repetition, No rewinding... So, give the best performance in all your roles

Clear thinking and clear presentation

 Clear thinking and clear presentation were fundamental prerequisites for his attention. It could be perilous even to approach him when unprepared, and he did not forget the fools or pretenders

why we r studying science ?

The view is that science, good science, is at it's heart simply the satiation of our own curiosity. It is not a means to an end, we are
not trying to learn about the universe because we are trying to build faster computers or a better toaster. We are studying science because we want to know how the universe arranges itself, and appreciate its beauty.

Richard Feynman

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world, but when you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird... So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing -- that's what counts. I learned very early the difference between knowing the name of something and knowing something.

Siege of Syracuse





During the Siege of Syracuse (c. 214–212 BC), Archimedes destroyed enemy ships with fire. Centuries later, Anthemius of Tralles mentions burning-glasses as Archimedes' weapon.] The device, sometimes called the "Archimedes heat ray", was used to focus sunlight onto approaching ships, causing them to catch fire.

This purported weapon has been the subject of ongoing debate about its credibility since the Renaissance. René Descartes rejected it as false, while modern researchers have attempted to recreate the effect using only the means that would have been available to Archimedes.[26] It has been suggested that a large array of highly polished bronze or copper shields acting as mirrors could have been employed to focus sunlight onto a ship. This would have used the principle of the parabolic reflector in a manner similar to a solar furnace.

A test of the Archimedes heat ray was carried out in 1973 by the Greek scientist Ioannis Sakkas. The experiment took place at the Skaramagas naval base outside Athens. On this occasion 70 mirrors were used, each with a copper coating and a size of around five by three feet (1.5 by 1 m). The mirrors were pointed at a plywood mock-up of a Roman warship at a distance of around 160 feet (50 m). When the mirrors were focused accurately, the ship burst into flames within a few seconds. The plywood ship had a coating of tar paint, which may have aided combustion.
 
 In October 2005 a group of students from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology carried out an experiment with 127 one-foot (30 cm) square mirror tiles, focused on a mock-up wooden ship at a range of around 100 feet (30 m). Flames broke out on a patch of the ship, but only after the sky had been cloudless and the ship had remained stationary for around ten minutes. It was concluded that the device was a feasible weapon under these conditions.

archimedes

archimedes tells of how he invented a method for determining the volume of an object with an irregular shape. According to Vitruvius, a new crown in the shape of a laurel wreath had been made for King Hiero II, and Archimedes was asked to determine whether it was of solid gold, or whether silver had been added by a dishonest goldsmith.[13] Archimedes had to solve the problem without damaging the crown, so he could not melt it down into a regularly shaped body in order to calculate its density. While taking a bath, he noticed that the level of the water in the tub rose as he got in, and realized that this effect could be used to determine the volume of the crown. For practical purposes water is incompressible,[14] so the submerged crown would displace an amount of water equal to its own volume. By dividing the weight of the crown by the volume of water displaced, the density of the crown could be obtained. This density would be lower than that of gold if cheaper and less dense metals had been added. Archimedes then took to the streets naked, so excited by his discovery that he had forgotten to dress, crying "Eureka!" (Greek: "εὕρηκα!," meaning "I have found it!")[15]

Stress Management

 

Stress Management

A lecturer was giving a lecture to his student on stress management.

He raises a glass of water and asks the audience
"How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
"It depends on how long you hold it."
"If I hold it for a minute, it is Ok."
"If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm."
"If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance."
"It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes"

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier.

"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again."

We have to put down the burden periodically, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on. When you return home from work, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it into your home. You can pick it up tomorrow. So Rest and Relax.
