How social media is ruining our mind-Brain science

Brains are constantly changing and adapting,according to our experiences.They donot simply sit there in our heads,but instead grow and adjust. Check the induced hormonal changes in the human body.

Studies show that social media has a profound effect on the human mind,something we should all be aware of.

• Multitasking skills 
• Social Interaction 
• Ability to focus  are some the skills getting affected.

 

Try and fail, But never fail to try

Here are two poems that caught my attention recently.

Let there be hope,
Hope in your heart,
Your determination will take you very far; 

Try and fail,
But never fail to try;
For the smile is valued most,
When you learn to cry; 

Others may see you as defeated,
But success often comes when failures are repeated;
For when you fail,
You break out of jail,
The jail of your comfort zone;
And there is no better way to find the path to success,
For the skills of success to hone; 

Try and fail,
But never fail to try;
For the smile is valued most

When you learn to cry..!

Long back a renowned poet of Hindi, National Poet Shri Maithili Sharan Gupt wrote this poem that can inspire anyone

नर हो न निराश करो मन को - you are (hu)man, don't despair

कुछ काम करो कुछ काम करो - do something, do something
जग में रह के निज नाम करो। - and make a name in this world

यह जन्म हुआ किस अर्थ अहो! - tell me why you are born [as human] ?
समझो जिसमें यह व्यर्थ न हो। - understand, so it is not wasted
कुछ तो उपयुक्त करो तन को  - make your body [self] able for something
नर हो न निराश करो मन को। - you are (hu)man, don't despair

सँभलो कि सुयोग न जाए चला - careful! lest the opportunity passes away
कब व्यर्थ हुआ सदुपाय भला! - when has proper effort been wasted?
समझो जग को न निरा सपना - don't think the world is a mere dream
पथ आप प्रशस्त करो अपना। - light up your path on your own [abilities]
अखिलेश्वर है अवलम्बन को - the divine is there for support
नर हो न निराश करो मन को।। - you are (hu)man, don't despair

जब प्राप्त तुम्हें सब तत्त्व यहाँ - when you have everything available
फिर जा सकता वह सत्त्व कहाँ! - where can the essence [of Self] go?
तुम स्वत्त्व सुधा रस पान करो - drink the nectar of self-reliance
उठ के अमरत्व विधान करो। - rise up and reach out immortality
दवरूप रहो भव कानन को - burn like wildfire in the world-forest (with your
deeds)
नर हो न निराश करो मन को।। - you are (hu)man, don't despair

निज गौरव का नित ज्ञान रहे - realize your self-esteem always
हम भी कुछ हैं यह ध्यान रहे। - 'i am also something' - keep in mind
सब जाय अभी पर मान रहे - let everything go but self-respect
मरणोत्तर गुंजित गान रहे। - let your 'song' reverberate even after death
कुछ हो न तजो निज साधन को - no matter what, don't leave your goal/path
नर हो न निराश करो मन को।। - you are (hu)man, don't despair

Print ads from Dove

Dove stresses on the point that: ‘beauty is not simply about how you look, it is about how you feel’. Technically Dove is pH neutral whereas other soaps are alkaline and hence Dove is mild on skin. From the beginning of its journey Dove was positioned as ‘not just a common soap but one with high content of moisturizing cream’. Consequently, the theme of Dove soap ads still remains ‘Dove is not a soap’ and ‘it has one quarter moisturizing cream’ and to prove the point to the consumers and get their confidence Dove used the PH strip and latest Dove ad shows the comparison of using normal soap and Dove on two sides of the skin.

Inspiration-New entrant to IIT-M

With hard effort and single-minded devotion, you can make possible what seems impossible. That is what an 18-year-old has shown in Khammam district of Andhra Pradesh. With not enough to eat, and no money even to burn the midnight oil, in a village with hardly nine hours daily power supply, the boy managed to secure 453rd rank in the IIT entrance exam. However, he has won only half the battle yet.

Branding 501 turned out to be one of the most content rich interviews I've ever done. As the lead business coach at YoungEntrepreneur.com, I was blown away by all that I learned from the authors of Brand DNA, Carol Chapman & Suzanne Tulien. I don't know that an entire college semester of marketing would have even yielded as much information as I took in on branding from these 2 branding and therefore marketing experts.

Dr.Tulsi aged 21 becomes India’s youngest Doctorate holder

It’s not very often that you attach the title ‘Dr’ to the name of a 21-year-old youngster. Meet Dr Tathagat Avatar Tulsi, who is on top of the world today after joining an exclusive club of scientists with a doctorate at the age of 21. Dr Tulsi is the youngest person in India to hold a doctorate and with this feat he has joined an eminent club of greats like Dr John Forbes Nash, an American mathematician who competed his PhD from Princeton University, US at the age of 21. His faculty at the Indian Institute of Science is truly inspired by his research on software for next generation and quantum computers. His research is not only unique because of his age, but also because his thesis was unusually short — it was completed within 33 pages. Dubbed a whizkid, and a genius, Dr Tulsi says it was a dream when he picked up his certificate at the Department of Physics at the prestigious Indian Institute of Science. But he also says that the path to success is not an easy one. In this interview with rediff.com‘s Vikash Nanjappa, the prodigy speaks about his passion, his success and what he has planned out for the future. First of all, how does it feel to be addressed as ‘Dr Tulsi’ at the age of 21? Top of the world, I must say. To be the youngest person in India to hold a doctorate at 21 is indeed a great feeling, one that words cannot describe. How tough has it been for you to achieve all this? It hasn’t been easy at all; the road has been very hard indeed. I had a passion to achieve and I realised that there were more hurdles than I had counted on. I had a very supportive family, but in due course I started to get a lot of negative publicity. This did not help my cause one bit. I strived to complete my research in three years, but it took six years thanks to all the negative publicity. However, that is in the past now and I have achieved what I wanted. Tell us something about yourself and your family. I always had the passion to study and that is exactly what I did. I finished my high school at the age of nine and my BSc at the age of 10. My MSc was completed at the age of 12 and due to this my name appeared in the Guinness Book of World Records. My father T N Prasad is an advocate and my mother Chandhal Devi is a teacher. I have two brothers. One is interested in joining the administrative services and the other wants to become a lawyer. You certainly have a unique record. However I must ask, did you feel different when you were in the IISC? I am sure all your fellow classmates were a lot older than you? Yes, of course I felt different. I was the youngest and hence I always knew that I was different when compared to the rest. The IISC campus was not accustomed to such young people and this at times created more problems for me. I really don’t wish to go into the problems as of now, since it is a thing of the past. However, I must add here that the negative publicity did affect me a great deal, especially psychologically. What about friends your own age? Did you have any and if so, what was your relationship with them like? Yes of course, I did have friends. However, I am not in touch with them. I would not say that it was normal, the relationship with my friends. I chose to study a lot and achieve my goals as I was always fascinated by studies. In fact, very recently, when I saw that my friends were studying for their examinations, I was sad because I wanted to study along with them too. Don’t you miss having had a normal childhood? Not at all. I really was not the conventional child who used to play like the others. I loved to study and I did that all through my childhood. So there isn’t really anything that I have missed out on. You have stated in the past that it was not easy to get admission to various institutions due to your young age. How did you manage that? Yes, that was tough — my age was always a deterrent. I had to rely on special permission, although I must say that none of the educational institutions granted me this. We had to battle it out in the courts to obtain special permission. Fortunately we managed to win the case and I got special permission. How does it feel to be called a whiz kid? And when did your parents realise that you were one? It feels good. But I must add that there has been a lot of hard work that has gone into this. I would like to narrate an incident from when I was three years old. My intention was to save on the battery of our calculator and hence I decided to work out all my calculations without one. This was when my parents realised that there was something different about me. Although it’s fairly obvious, could you tell us how your parents reacted to your achievement? Yes, they were thrilled and I am happy that I have made them so proud. When I ended up taking six years to complete my doctorate instead of the three years that I had in mind, they were worried. But today they are relaxed and happy that I did not let down those who stuck by my side through both the good and bad times. I am sure that the journey does not end here for you. Tell us about your future plans. I have a fellowship offer from the Institute of Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, Canada. I have a lot of plans though. I would like to set up a computer laboratory to develop software for new generation computers. I am also looking for a professorship from the Indian Institute of Technology. I want to work on my ideas after that.
