I think everybody should get good teacher in their college or school. I am the  lucky one got a good teacher in my college. 

What you mean by a "good teacher"? Who teaches the subject very well!, Absolutely No.

A teacher is having a very different role to play in once life. It is apart from teaching subject or language. 

We had a good teacher in our college. He used to tell various other useful things in life apart from his subject. 

I would like to share one of them here.

David Allen said well;
“Your mind is for having ideas, not for holding them”
With respect to this quote, now you can read between the lines of sayings such as “prefer smart work over hard work, “be creative at work”, and so forth. I know what questions are running in your mind “How could it be possible to get done with 10-hour work within 6 hours” right?
On one side, professional experts’ advice to “work hard, and get accomplished with investing your time” so, onanother hand, your colleagues an

The most selfish are those who live for others Xuefeng (Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer) The world always sings praises for those who live for others, therefore the world is full of lies and deceit. Those who claim to live for others are selfish and hypocritical; they are “criminals”. Every thing and every life must maintain its individual character. This was the intention of the Greatest Creator when all was created. It is wrong for the peach tree to live for the grapevine instead of

Having abilities, money and unlimited possibilities is something, what each inventor needs. I have none of the above, just one cool idea but it counts too, nah? So ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you my last invention...

                                                    *********** a dream recorder **************

As we all know, we can train our brains to remember the dreams well enough but

Okay, since I’m in a very gloomy mood these days, I would like to imagine that I am an inventor and I’m so freaking genius that I can invent anything using some brain and imagination.

There are two things I want to invent that for me will be so useful and will make me so happy, that’s the essence of inventing something, to make our life easier, that’s how technology show its significance to our lives.

Item no.1: Teleportation Gadget

Cost: For free- but just promise to use this only to positive thin

He was my class fellow from 7 to 10 grades.  He was the most intelligent student in the entire school.  Always got highest marks not only in our own class but in the whole school exams.  He never got less than 100% marks in mathematics as I remember.  I was second to him, in spite of trying my utmost to at least get equal to him.  But never, I envied him very often.  Besides in studies, he was the most gentle, humble, polite, and cultured boy, and above all, we were best friends.  Sat on the sam

If I was an inventor, I would invent a magic fragrance. Astronauts would take a bottle of this fragrance into the outer space and they would inject it into our atmosphere. Of course, the fragrance wouldn't be dangerous for the atmosphere.

The magic of the fragrance is very simple.
 
It needs only one single injection and everythings changes.

The effect of the fragrance:

People speak one common language, no one knows what war is, no hunger, no thirst. But the earth will not be a land of milk and hone

Last Sunday, two Coptic churches in Egypt were attacked by terrorists killing more than 40 people who were attending the mass. Most of the victims were Christians participating for the Palm Sunday - the beginning of Lent. It’s an important event for Christians and Catholics alike. 

To all prayer warriors wherever you are, please include in your intentions and prayers those victims of terrible acts of cruelty especially terrorism around the globe particularly in Egypt and Sweden, as well as the po

If I had the chance to invent something and enough brain power for that of course, I would create a teleportation machine. I love visiting new places and meeting new people, but I hate process of traveling. So that would be a time-saving eco machine that could transfer you from A to B within a few seconds. Imagine it, the machine would give us the chance to be close to our relatives and friends no matter how far they are from us, we would be able to reach them at any moment.

There are so many peo

Live for Yourself, Never for Others
Xuefeng
(Translated by Treasure and Edited by Kaer)

The most selfish people in the world are those who claim to live for others. The most selfless people in the world are those who admit to living for themselves.

The Greatest Creator creates every life as an individual, endowed with a unique appearance and nature, free will, and a full physiological system. Each individual is given a mission that is uniquely different from all others. As individuals, each of us

There is no short cuts. If you are no 100% time to spend for a day, Evil will come and occupy in your mind. Always should have a list of things to be one and read regularly. It will help you to avoid negative thoughts 

Well, most of my EC friends know that I am a chemist and when it comes to inventions I will speak about chemistry as it is my GODESS! My students often ask me why I don't invent some magic pills for them not to learn, but to take such pills before going to bed and to wake up being as knowledgeble as their teachers. I always say they can compose them themselves if they learn at least a little. But today I'd like to speak about some other magic pills we all need to take from time to time.

This is Danny’s Writing Challenge.

“If I Were an Inventor”. 

If I could invent anything that would have been ‘love’.  But love cannot be an invention.  An invention of a thing is made which does not exist previously. But love is there since the time memorial.  Yes, love is always there, it is another thing that we have forgotten it, or have buried it in the dust and/or ashes of our meanness, our hypocrisy, our selfishness. It would, therefore, be a discovery, a reviving, an incarnation, an avatar
