- It's all about YOU
Don't say you're not important,
It simply isn't true,
The fact that you were born,
Is proof, God has a plan for you.
The path may seem unclear right now,
But one day you will see,
That all that came before,
Was truly meant to be,
God wrote the book that is Life,
That's all you need to know.
Each day that you are living,
Was written long ago.
God only writes best sellers,
So be proud of who you are,
Your character is important,
In this book, you are the 'Star'
Have a Fabulous Week!!

3. Health(Y) Tips BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS
1. No Breakfast - People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.
2. Overeating - It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.
3. Smoking - It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.
4. High Sugar consumption - Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.
5. Air Pollution - The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air
decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.
6. Sleep Deprivation - Sleep allows our brain to rest.. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping - Sleeping with the head covered, increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.
8. Working your brain during illness - Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.
9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts - Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

5. Laughter the Best medicine (Best Joke in the world – per a US University Survey…)
A couple of New Jersey hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps to the operator: “My friend is dead! What can I do?”
The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: “Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead.” There is a silence, then a shot is heard.
The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: “OK, now what?“

6) Safety

We keep reading everyday in newspapers…Well – You can brush this off…except that it came to light later that if this girl (sitting in the Pillion) had worn a helmet, she would have escaped with Minor injuries..a bright light had come to a early end..So s simple advice – Wear Helmets, whether You are driving or sitting in the pillion.

7) Thought for the Week
Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning. - Mahatma Gandhi

8) Management Fundas Difference Makers Have Courage By Zig Ziglar
When Jackie Robinson was brought to the major leagues by Brooklyn Dodgers owner Branch Rickey, he was the first African-American to play major league ball. At that point, Mr. Rickey carefully explained to him that he would have thousands of chances to lose his temper and get upset because of the overt racism that existed in the major leagues at that time. He warned him about the hate-mail and boos he would get because many of the white players and fans would be adamantly opposed to his presence in the major leagues.Jackie Robinson was an intense competitor. He was also a man of considerable pride, who gave everything his best effort. He wanted to win every game he played and his athletic skills were substantial. However, like all great athletes, he had his "off days." On one of "those" days everything was going wrong for him. He made some bad throws, booted some grounders and struck out at the plate. The boos and the catcalls got louder and louder. At a critical moment, after Jackie had booted yet another play, Pee Wee Reese, the captain of the Dodgers, walked up to Jackie and put his arm around him. The crowd grew quiet. What they had just seen was enough to silence anyone. Reese was saying, "This is my teammate. He's a fellow Dodger and I have respect and admiration as well as affection for him." Later, Jackie said that was a huge milestone in his major league career.Somebody once said, "It's never too soon to do a good turn." In that particular case it made a major difference for Jackie Robinson. He certainly felt good about it, but I'm confident Pee Wee Reese felt even better than he did. It is true that others can give you pleasure but you will never be really happy until you do something for someone else. Branch Rickey, Pee Wee Reese and Jackie Robinson were positive difference-makers. You, too, can be a positive difference-maker if you will give some "hand-ups" and not just "hand-outs." Buy that approach to life and I will SEE YOU AT THE TOP!
