Multi tasker proves to be easily distracted
The next time someone brags about what a great multi-tasker they are, you may
want to let them know they are paying a big mental price.
People who regularly consume multiple forms of media simultaneously-listening to
an iPod, sending instant messages, checking e-mails and watching an online video-
consistently perform worse than those who prefer to complete one task at a time;
according to a recherch.A team from Stanford University put 100 students through
a serious of three tests. They found the heavy media multi-taskers were not able to
pay attention, control their memory or switch from one job to another as
successfully as the low multi-tasking group.
So there we have it: an excuse to do less and accomplish more.

Being positive can change ur world!!!
A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet.
He held up a sign which said: "I am blind, please help."
There were only a few coins in the hat.
A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and
dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it
around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that
everyone who walked by would see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money
to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign
came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps

and asked, "Were you the one who changed my sign this morning?
What did you write?"
The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way."
What he had written was: "Today is a beautiful day and I cannot see it."
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign
simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were
so lucky that they were not blind. Should we be surprised that the
second sign was more effective?
Moral of the Story: Be thankful for what you have. Be creative.
Be innovative. Think differently and positively.
Invite others towards good with wisdom. Live life with no excuse
and love with no regrets. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry,
show life that you have 1000 reasons to smile. Face your past without
regret. Handle your present with confidence. Prepare for the future without fear.
Keep the faith and drop the fear.
The most beautiful thing is to see a person smiling…
And even more beautiful, knowing that you are the reason behind it!!!
