A Healthy Balance Between Work and Home.

Work is very important, work is the basis of who you are, work deserves all your time and dedication and all your efforts. It is these very sentences and words which nowadays control the mind of mankind so much that they forget that there is this other very important thing called a home which contains their loved ones which they need to pay attention to as well.

The home is where the heart is. This is a very famous saying, but hardly followed by anyone nowadays. Work is important, work bring you money and money results in you enjoying life, but what life will you enjoy alone? Will you not need your beautiful family and loved ones along with you to enjoy? Of course you will.

A healthy balance between work and home is something which is immensely important. Let’s just face the fact that whether it is our home or whether it be work neither can be avoided, both hold equal amounts of importance in our lives and play important roles. They are literally the two sides of the same coin. Work gives one identity and financial security and family provides one with love and emotional security.

But nowadays family time is something which is being overtly sacrificed for work time. People have made work their first priority, the pressure and tension of being the best employee is making them a bad family man/woman. Their kids miss them, their better halves miss them, their mental sanity misses them too, but these days work is said to be everything. When at the end of the day a person is coming back home he knows that he will be going back home to his family, and for some reason the returning home comes to be considered and family time and thus no extra effort is put to spend some real time with family.

Effects of such a life on human beings:

One cannot always concentrate on work, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” another famous English idiom which people seem to have forgotten as the days have passed.
A good working life may lead to a very luxurious life no doubt but then who will you share that luxurious life with if you do not pay heed to your family?
Too much work is also the reason for the loss of peace of mind, which in turn our family gives back to us, but if you avoid your family life your home then that is the one thing you will have to live without as well.
It is very important that you do not bring your work or your frustration from work home, family time should be only for family and work should not interfere or mess it up.

People do not understand the worth of something until it gets taken away from them. It is when we lose everything we have we be aware why it’s important to balance our life and work.

Is the presence of microplastics in the water ultimately a macro problem for mankind?

Is the presence of microplastics in the water ultimately a macro problem for mankind?

Let’s start by knowing what exactly we are dealing with here, microplastics. Microplastics are small plastic particles in the environment that are generally between the size of 1-5mm, so it is sort of a given that they cannot be seen via the naked eye.

They come from a variety of sources like cosmetic, clothing, coastal tourism industry, shipping industry etc. There are basically two kinds of microplastics, Primary and Secondary. Primary microplastics are the ones that come from the result of human use of certain material and secondary microplastics are the ones that come from the breakdown of bigger plastics like polythene bags.

Even though microplastics do not sound like much of a problem they generally become a problem when these tiny, invisible to the naked eye, particles seep in to the water bodies, and not just the local pools and ponds but oceans and seas and exist in the aquatic and marine eco systems.

As we all know by now, the plastics take their own sweet time to break down, the reason why they are so much more harmful than any other element is because the rate at which they break down is much slower than the others, so imagine if there were plastic particles inside of us, it would be really hard to determine when exactly they would actually break down and naturally pass through the digestive system.

Reasons why microplastics are harmful:

The fact that they take days and weeks to break down are undoubtedly one of the reasons, as because these microplastics which have already seeped into the marine ecosystems have probably been incorporated into many organisms’ bodies through the various ways of ingestion and respiration. But this swallowed plastic takes 14 days to pass their system and thus within those 14 days if that organism is eaten by a bigger predator then the plastic automatically gets transferred to the body of that bigger predator which might not be such a good thing.

Seeing the above point it is pretty obvious to where that point was leading, from small organisms to big predators from big predators to bigger fishes and finally from fishes to a species of mammals we all know very well, yes, humans

Fish is the primary source of protein almost everywhere around the world, for animals and humans alike thus one fifth of the fish eating human population have been found with microplastics in their digestive tracts.

Microplastics do more than just exist in the bodies of human beings, they have the ability to do some serious physical blockage or damage of feeding appendages or digestive tract and can also cause indigestion which will ultimately lead to problems in the digestive system.

Fashion Tips for Chubby Women

December 18, 2015

Fashion is for all, it is not only for those who walk the ramp, not for those who are rich and definitely not only for the skinny people. Fashion is something that should be and mostly is enjoyed by all, but there are these certain groups of women who find it a little troublesome to take their beautiful selves down the street and own it. And these are the women who the world calls chubby or fat.

They are mostly scared of their body image and afraid of the fact that all clothes do not look good on them, so why not jot down a few fashion tips which these women can follow:

Basic fashion tips for chubby women:

Colour and cuts of the clothes: Colour and cuts of the clothes you wear are more important than you think. Dark colours will make you look slimmer than light colours, and horizontal stripes have a habit of enhancing what is not needed to be enhanced. So, go for vertical or diagonal stripes. Ruffles to be put only where you want everyone’s attention to be and clot a lot of fabric in the area you want to look small.
For example dresses with ruffles below the waist line will give you a princess like look and also take the focus off your belly to your feet.
Wearing fitted undergarments: This is one fashion tip which is not taken up seriously by many. What’s on the inside really matters ladies, so it does not matter if you are wearing a very pretty and beautifully fitted dress on the outside if you wear flimsy and unfitted underwear you will end up feeling uncomfortable for the most part.
Find textures that flatter your bottom half: Tailored skirts and pants, avoid pencil skirts and flared pants and any other shapeless garment. This tip is basically for the people with pear shaped body shape, they usually have a heavier lower half and thus it is important that their lower half does not sag in any way.Fitted and dark coloured bottoms are a better choice for pear shaped individuals.
Dress to flatter your upper half: For women who have an apple shaped body shape it is very important to flatter their upper bodies as well. If you are wearing skinny bottoms wear something loose on top (this fashion tip can be taken up by one and all actually) wearing both things tight will only make you look more bloated up and uncomfortable.
Accessorize well: Chunky jewellery and large hand bags, make them your best friends, because a large handbag makes you look smaller as they do not look small and weird beside you. Boots are also a plus they make your calves look slimmer.

But at the end of the day what is important is to be confident in yourself and in your body. Everything else is just there to add to that beautiful confidence of yours.

Face the Problem

No one in this world born without problems. Humans at every stage has problems, challenges, goals. We need to face the problem rather than going away from it. If you run away with it follows you when you start moving towards it, you gain confidence to solve it. When you consider a problem as a expense you try to avoid it, accept it as a challenge, deal with it, struggle with it, live with it, at the end it treats you with success and Joy.

Problems has the power to bring down you confidence, force you to bend before it. Don’t expect an easy win rather than struggle to win it. A life with problems and challenges is a gift. Don’t expect a road to be clear and easy rather expect a rough and tough road so that when you reach the end of the road you have experience which brings courage, confidence in turn leads to success.

Eagles teach the best lesson in our lives. They throw their children from high cliff. Children think that mother eagle is too harsh on them but in turn they learn to fly, fly high. Dare to accept a problem. A true person always accepts challenges.

Success is not defined by what you accomplish but the failure you have faced, the struggle you have felt and the undetermined strength in you to faces all odds to keep the fight on. Success introduces you to the world but failure introduces world to you. When it comes easy it’s not success. Greater success in life never come easy.

Do not be fooled by someone’s success. Behind the glory there is always a long road that contains records undetermined effort and sacrifice. Sweat and exhaustion. There’s no shortcut to a success. If you are fascinated by the convenience provided by your success then you can forget the necessity to strive for it. There was no price discount for a success. There is a great price to pay to achieve this success.

Start with small things. Grow, learn, perform but do not stop.
Only hardwork cannot bring you success but a blend mixture strength, sharpness, thought process, sacrifice, patience and tenderness. If you break the bow and arrow efflux has been leveled, it could still shoot. Aim with your entire heart. All the action you like a boomerang that will come back to you. When you throw it well, he’ll be back in your catch
Success is not always built on their own efforts. Tucked behind all the achievements of sacrifice others

Personality of the week: Steve Jobs

There are people who go with the flow of life but there are other people who tend to move against the flow and define history. One among those is Steve Jobs. He is the co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc. He is also the CEO and the largest stake holder of Pixar Animation Studios. Let’s look some interesting things of Job’s life.

Steve’s biological fathers name is Abdulfattah Jandali. He has a restaurant and a casino owner in Reno, Nevada.
His biological mother was Joanne Schieble. She was an American. His father, however, objected to the marriage so Steve was put up for adoption. His adoptive parents were Clara and Paul Jobs.
Steve actually later described this as the most important things in his life and believed that unless someone understood his counter cultural roots they wouldn’t understand his way of thinking.
In 1974 Steve traveled to India with his roommate to visit Neem Karoli Baba, a Hindu guru. Upon arrival though, they discovered that the guru had passed away earlier that year. Steve ended up traveling the country for seven months, after that he returned to US with a shaved head and traditional Indian clothes.
While his journey through the India he was influenced heavily by the religion even to the point of having his marriage presided over by Kobun Chino, a Buddhist monk.
Steve married to Laurene in Yosemite national park. She was an MBA graduate of Stanford and was appointed by President Barack Obama to be a member of the White House Council for Community Solutions due to her active involvement in the non-profit community.
Steve never actually made his views on charity clear and it is certainly indisputable that he made an impact on the world.
Steve didn’t give to charity so he must have hoarded it all. Not Steve. Since 1998 he has received 1 dollar every year from Apple.
According to a friend from Reed College Steve had a brief fling with the folk singer back in his hippie prime. Unfortunately though, she left him for his favorite musician Bob Dylan. He had good taste in music
It seems almost unthinkable but before Steve Jobs was conquering the world with his iPods he was out on the street telling people iBroke. Luckily for him he had some good friends so after dropping out of college they let him do some couch surfing.
When Steve was a kid he would attend local lectures put on by Hewlett-Packard. After one of the lectures he approached William Hewlett because he needed some computer parts for a project. Evidently Will was so impressed by Steve he gave him the parts and then offered him an internship on the spot.
Animation in Hollywood seemed to be a dying art until Steve came along and acquired The Graphics Group from Lucas Films for $10 million and turned it into the Pixar.
As a result of Steve’s partnership with Disney, Steve he lit the spark that led to movies like Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and WALL-E. For almost 15 years he dominated the animation industry but Toy Story was a more personal endeavor as he was Executive Producer.
After working on the famous Atari game Breakout they unofficially agreed to split their cut in half. Steve, being a cunning businessman, had other plans. Although Apple gave Steve $5,000 for their work he told Wozniak that he had only received $700. Wozniak later found out about it and said he would have given him the money had Steve told him that he needed it.
Steve wasn’t the only famous one in his family. His sister, a writer, is fairly popular as well. They didn’t meet each other until 1985. After their initial meeting they became really close friends and according to Mona talked at least once every other day
Prior to marrying Laurene, Steve had a child with Chris-Anne Brennan named Lisa. This was right around the time that Apple was taking off so he ended up denying paternity. Eventually, though, he changed his mind and at the end of the day he paid Lisa’s way to Harvard. The ultimate make-up present.
The New York Times recently revealed that Steve has 313 patents to his name. To give you some perspective, out of his peers Bill Gates holds about 9 and the Google boys have roughly a dozen between them.
He was the largest individual shareholder in Disney with 7% stake in the company after Pixar was bought out. He also held a spot on the Board of Directors. The next largest shareholder is its former CEO Michael Eisner coming in at 1.7%.
Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak started Apple in his garage shortly after Wozniak came out with the Apple 1 computer. From those humble beginnings Apple has grown into one of the largest companies in the world with $350 million in market value.

Keep your motivations soaring in a turbulent workplace

The workplace of an individual may not always be quite an entertaining venture.One constantlygets entrapped by the depressing atmosphere and hate going to work. The depression effects may be sometimes such deadening that one looks for outlets of addiction in order to earn a sigh of relief. It is only through the maintenance of a strong motivation which can empower the individual to sail through the difficult waters and stand out to be an efficient figure.

It may sound to be a hyperbolic notion or a superficial opinion to advise the integrated nature of motivation in a troubling atmosphere. There may be innumerable issues gradually eating into the psychological framework, slowly and skilfully eroding the motivated spirits of an individual. It is evident when one approach his/her work, the individual is saturated with energy and dedication. However it is the constant pressure and associated peripheral factors that deter this stability and slowly robs the person of the former motivating seeds.

Common results of destabilizing motivation

Motivation is the mantra of success. Indeed it is the pivot around which our better-being revolves. The falling contours of motivation may result in serious outputs
One can get easily deviated from the spirits with which he formerly made an approach to work. This may consequently bring down the curves of his performance growth as an employee.
Due to unsatisfied work outputs resulting in de motivation, the individual may forward his steps into the zones of unethical means like forgery, cheating, peer-rivalry etc.
Loss of motivation gradually paves the way for entry of addiction to alcohol; drugs smoking that further deteriorate the smooth operation of life.

The common tips for not losing your motivation

Don’t get swayed by the ambience – apparently, it may turn out to be an impossible propositionnot to be affected by the workplace scenario, however this is one of the best remedies for dying motivational spirits. There should be a fine line of detachment between the work life and the individual. Once he allows his work atmosphere to creep into his personal space, he will surely fall a successful prey to loss of motivation. Professional and personal gaps should be distinct and mandatory for a healthy lifestyle.
Meditation – a common and proved medium of keeping the motivation integrated is meditation. In fact meditation leads to motivation. It leads to increased degrees of concentration that result in refined and powerful motivation. A quick meditation spanning 10-15 minutes after tiresome work, can make the individual appreciate the spirits of life again.
Devoting individual time – each and every individual needs to devote to him exclusive time to oneself. He may engage any sort of rejuvenating activities that will filter the negativity of his system and replace it with potential motivation.
