The much higher cost. Happiness and personal contentment are your only worthwhile destinations.

-
Do not be influence by others, no matter who they may be, unless their advice is consistent with your inner voice and feelings, and do not be fooled into buying  into somebody's else's dream (unless it goes in line with what you are dreaming of). It is very easy to follow others, but this won't give you the sense of personal fulfilment and satisfaction you need to be happy. Sticking to your dream and being true to your feelings may at times seem like a huge price. You may go backward financially or emotionally, but not being true to your self has a much higher cost than this short term investment.

Happiness and personal contentment are your only worthwhile destinations. This and nowhere else is where you are going.

NAMBA: A VILLAGE WHERE MANNA STILL FALLS.

Namba is a small and drought-stricken village in Southern part of Angola, a Seventh Day Adventist missionary who spent nearly a lifetime in Africa established a mission in this village. This white missionary left and for some years the mission was under the care of a local director. One year the rains failed to come, the crops did not grow, and the mission stores were emptied and no money to buy food if it could have been found. The mission director had been away for some weeks on a trip visiting distant mission schools. The believers at the Missao Adventista da Namba came to the end of their resources and food supply. The director's wife called the families together and told them the situation. Then she read to the people the promises of the Lord and told them of the manna which had been sent by God to His people in the time of Moses, assuring them that God could send them food in the same way, if necessary. After prayer, a little girl, about five years of...

The nature of mindsets, part 1.The deeper reason to examine our mindsets is so we can mount a self-aware response to the great challenges of our day. We simply can’t respond to our personal and global problems in a meaningful way unless we also learn how to examine our mindsets as an integral part of how we live our lives

The nature of mindsets by Ash Buchanan A primer on how our underlying beliefs, attitudes and assumptions create our everyday lives — and our shared world Mindsets shape the lives we lead, the actions we take and the future possibilities of the world we live in. In this primer, we provide an overview of what mindsets are, why they matter and explore a range of practices you can use to be mindful about how and why you use them. What is a Mindset? “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” — Mahatma Gandhi Eight principles can be used to describe the underlying nature of mindsets. 1) Mindsets are habits of mind The word mindset was first used in the 1930’s to mean “habits of mind formed by previous experience.” In simple terms, mindsets are deeply held beliefs, attitudes and assumptions we create about who we are and h...

The complexity of English Language. This is so hilarious you need to read this.

A retired teacher of English once wrote: English is a tricky language There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple. English muffins weren’t invented in England or French fries in France.  Sweet meats are candies while sweetbreads are actually meat and non sweet.  We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes, we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig. And why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce and hammers don’t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, why isn’t the plural of booth beeth? One goose, 2 geese. So one moose, 2 meese? One index, 2 indices? Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend? If teachers taught, why don't preachers praught?.  If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?  Sometimes I think all the English speakers should be committed to ...
