Once upon a time, there was a king in a small country who had three sons. Because he couldn't decide which one he should resign his throne to, he said to his sons, "I will resign my throne to a son who brings me the most worthy treasure." So the three sons went off in quest of it. 

The eldest son went toward the west. After he walked for a month, he found a thick vine growing toward the sky. He climbed it until he arrived at a cloud and got down to the cloud. He wandered about until he found a bi

Everyone has different kinds of experiences in their life. If it is a bad experience, you learn a good lesson from the incident, or if it is a good experience, you gain knowledge to add to your life.

All kinds of experience always make you stronger in one or the other way. Experience may teach you how mature you are and how you handle life to lead a successful path.

You want to know your capability, then face failure and fall down more than once. Then you come to know how strong and powerful you

"Science is more than a body of knowledge. It’s a way of thinking.   A way of skeptically interrogating the universe with a fine understanding of human fallibility. If, if we are not able to ask skepticle questions, to interrogate those who tell us that something is true, to be skeptical of those in authority – then we’re up for grabs for the next charlatan, political or religious, who comes ambling along." ~ Carl Sagan

Albert Einstein put it this way "The important thing is not to stop questioni

          It is human instinct to learn something good or bad as per his own interest and environment, but if you have a strong curiosity that always pushes you to learn and experience something new and different, you then rarely pay attention to Rules and Regulations or any instructions. Sometimes in learning you may go beyond the limit knowing its consequences. At the end, you just learn from experience “I’ll never do it again!” which you may learn from others’ experience without endangering y

My son is 8, and when he has a free minute, he reads: in the car on the way to school, on the bench, before football training. He even manages to get a book while we go shopping.  In this article I will tell you how I managed to nurture love of reading in my child. 

A friend's daughter started reading at the age of 3, my son at the age of 5; but he began to show interest in real books only about 6 years old. If a kid learns to read at the age of 3, this doesn’t mean that he will immediately read.

They found that those who had received a shot are less likely to show any sign of mild or severe depression.
