Spoon-feeding

Has modern man become a slave to machines and technology?Will machines make man incompetent in future?Read on to find out..... Every year we invent machines to do something new for us.Handwriting used to be an art ,and a pretty one.Now an increasing no.of people rely on entirely on the typewriter. Education ,except where the pupils are encouraged to make things with their own hands,is mainly spoon-feeding.Fifty years ago the editions were so bad that the student had to puzzle out difficulties for himself.Now he sits luxuriously before a crib,two commentaries and a book of lecture notes which have been slowly dictated in the class.He need not use his brains at all. Every where we find the same demand to make life easy ,safe,and fool-proof.The fine trees in our public parks are periodically mangled and reduced to the condition of clothes props by our urban and country councils ,because boughs have been known to be blown down in ahigh wind ,or even,in the case of elm-trees,to fall sudd...

Be careful about reading health books!!

Here is an anecdote of a man who read the following passage in a book : With a smooth skin, and luscious ,chewy flesh, the pig has great texture and taste.Pigs perish quickly and because of this ,these are dried to capture the delicate taste the year round.The colour and texture of pigs vary.The skin of pigs can be green,purple or almost black;while the flesh can be red,pink or amber.Pigs and nutririon go hand in hand.Pigs lower and control high blood pressure because these are packed with potassium ,a mineral that can control hypertension.Pigs also help people lose weight.A gr8 source of dietary fibre, pigs can work wonders for those want to lose weight.Pigs are good for those with diabetes.They also increase bone density as they are rich in calcium.Thus,pigs are very nutritious.It is recommended that 2 pigs be soaked in water overnight and eaten the following day. The man was greatly impressed by the glowing account of the nutritional value of pigs.Of course ,he did wonder ho...

What is wisdom?

A girl asked her mother,"What is wisdom?".Her mother showed her a jar and asked whether she would eat a cup of sugar."No",said the girl."What abt a cup of maida or eggs or a spoon of essence?".More confused, the girl replied in the negative. Then the mother said,"If all these are mixed ,you would love to eat the cake.Isn't it?And wisdom is like a cake.The ingredients are intelligence,knowledge,skill,logic and experience.Individually,all the above have their own importance but worthless unless mixed in correct proportions."

ANGER.....

What is ANGER? What are the reasons for it? Well,it is not so easy to define ANGER.But it is one of the most common feelings of humans(may be of all living things,but here i discuss about us, the humans).Friends,you must have also felt furious at some issues ,have u ever thought of it ?The reason for it? The main reason for anger is FRUSTRATION. You must note that in all areas of life,you can find people both either luckier or less fortunate than you.Instead of comparing you with your friends,compare your TODAY with YESTERDAY and think whether you are wiser ,luckier and happier now! Students who take shelter for their frustrations under anger cannot concentrate on their studies.Do you know  you could control ur anger? Ill show you u can! Follow.... PAUSE BUTTON TECHNIQUE: Before ur emotion outburst,press the pause button of ur (mental)tape recorder to consider 4 imp. things.Let us name them like, INTROSPECTION : 90% of our sorrows are not due to other's ...

The MONKEY POEM

Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree, Discussing some things that are said to be; Said one to the others,"Now listen you two, There's a rumour that certainly cannot be true- That man descended from our noble race, The very idea is a total disgrace!" "Another thing you would never see , Is a monkey build a fence round his coconut tree, Forbidding all other monkeys from taking, For then they would all become thieves in the making ! If I were to put a fence round my tree, Starvation would force them to steal from me!" "Here's another thing a monkey won't do; Go out late at night and get in a stew , Using a gun,a club or ...

What is being logical?

Being logical.What does it really mean? Its just nothing more than responding accurately and accordingly to the situation.Let me give you an example. In a small village there used to live a farmer who had a beautiful daughter.The owner of the farm had fancied her and planned to marry her.So,since the farmer had so many debts to the owner,the owner took it as a chance.He asked the farmer to give him his daughter and he wont ask for any money or else the farmer would be jailed.The girl really didn't like this and so she said she won't.But the wicked owner had a plan again and said" see girl,lets play a game of chance.Ill put a black and a white pebble into this bag and shuffle it.You will have to pick one from them and if u pick a white one,ill leave u free .If u pick nlack one ull have to marry me".The girl accepts and gets ready.But she notices the owner putting two black pebbles into the bag.She fell in dilemma about what to do. In such a situation ,what wo...
