RONALDO'S LESSON

Christiano Ronaldo's lesson!

When he received one of his awards recently, Ronaldo dedicated it to a certain Alberto Fantrau. Then said: "Yes I am a great footballer and all my success is thanks to my friend Alberto"

People looked at each other and said, "Who is this Mr. Fantrau?"

Then Ronaldo went on: "We played together in a youth team. When Sporting of Lisbon recruiters came to observe us, they told us that the striker who scored the most goals will be recruited into the sports academy.

That day we won 3-0. I scored the first goal and then Albert scored the 2nd with the head. And then the 3rd goal was the one that impressed everyone. Alberto started from the wing, then found himself face to face with the keeper, dribbled the goalkeeper and all he had to do was push the ball into the empty goal. In the meantime I was running to his side. And instead of shooting into the empty goal, Alberto decided to pass the ball to me and I scored. This is how I find myself at the Sporting Lisbon Academy. After the game I went to him, and asked him "why did you do that?" And he replied, "Because I know that you are better than I"

Curious to know more, the journalists began to investigate and were able to meet this Alberto Fantrau to ask him if the story told by Ronaldo is true, and he confirmed it, adding that his career as a footballer ended after this match as it was the only opportunity to become professional and since that time he has remained unemployed.

However, journalists, observing his luxurious house and his Mercedes parked in the garage asked Alberto "but being unemployed how could you have such a house and car and living so luxuriously? You seem rather comfortable physically " Alberto's answer: "All that? .. is Ronaldo

Moral of this story:

Let us ask ourselves the following question: How many of us have ever done something like Ronaldo and Alberto? On the contrary, many of us show the opposite of this story showing selfishness and ingratitude to their mates.

Friends! Let's help each other so that we are proud of the success of our brothers/sisters/friends/relatives.

And when we help a person succeed, the latter must never forget those who contributed to this success in his life.

And above all, we should never forget that God is watching and judging us.

BEWARE OF THE FUTURE!

In a recent interview the MD of Daimler Benz (Mercedes Benz) said their competitors are no longer other car companies but Tesla (obvious), Google, Apple, Amazon.

Software will disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years.

Uber is just a software tool, they don’t own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world.

Airbnb is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don’t own any properties.

Artificial Intelligence: Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected.

In the US, young lawyers already don’t get jobs. Because of IBM Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for more or less basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans.

So if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% less lawyers in the future, only specialists will remain.

Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, 4 times more accurate than human nurses. Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans.

Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self driving cars will appear for the public. Around 2020, the complete industry will start to be disrupted. You don’t want to own a car anymore. You will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. You will not need to park it, you only pay for the driven distance and can be productive while driving. Our kids will never get a driver’s licence and will never own a car.

It will change the cities, because we will need 90-95% less cars for that. We can transform former parking spaces into parks. 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide. We now have one accident every 60,000 miles (100,000km), with autonomous driving that will drop to one accident in 6 million miles (10 million km). That will save a million lives each year.

Most car companies will probably become bankrupt. Traditional car companies try the evolutionary approach and just build a better car, while tech companies (Tesla, Apple, and Google) will do the revolutionary approach and build a computer on wheels.

Many engineers from Volkswagen and Audi are completely terrified of Tesla.

Insurance companies will have massive trouble because without accidents, the insurance will become 100x cheaper. Their car insurance business model will disappear.

Real estate will change because if you can work while you commute, people will move further away to live in a more beautiful neighborhood.

Electric cars will become mainstream about 2020. Cities will be less noisy because all new cars will run on electricity. Electricity will become incredibly cheap and clean. Solar production has been on an exponential curve for 30 years, but you can now see the burgeoning impact.

Last year, more solar energy was installed worldwide than fossil. Energy companies are desperately trying to limit access to the grid to prevent competition from home solar installations, but that can’t last. Technology will take care of that strategy.

With cheap electricity comes cheap and abundant water. Desalination of salt water now only needs 2kWh per cubic meter (@ 0.25 cents). We don’t have scarce water in most places, we only have scarce drinking water. Imagine what will be possible if anyone can have as much clean water as he wants, for nearly no cost.

Health: The Tricorder X price will be announced this year. There are companies who will build a medical device (called the “Tricorder” from Star Trek) that works with your phone, which takes your retina scan, your blood sample and you breathe into it.

It then analyses 54 biomarkers that will identify nearly any disease. It will be cheap, so in a few years everyone on this planet will have access to world class medical analysis, nearly for free. Goodbye, medical establishment!

3D printing: The price of the cheapest 3D printer came down from $18,000 to $400 within 10 years. In the same time, it became 100 times faster. All major shoe companies have already started 3D printing shoes.

Some spare airplane parts are already 3D printed in remote airports. The space station now has a printer that eliminates the need for the large amount of spare parts they used to have in the past.

At the end of this year, new smart phones will have 3D scanning possibilities. You can then 3D scan your feet and print your perfect shoe at home.

In China, they already 3D printed and built a complete 6-storey office building. By 2027, 10% of everything that’s being produced will be 3D printed.

Business opportunities: If you think of a niche you want to go in, ask yourself: “in the future, do you think we will have that?” and if the answer is yes, how can you make that happen sooner?

If it doesn’t work with your phone, forget the idea. And any idea designed for success in the 20^th century is doomed to failure in the 21^st century.

Work: 70-80% of jobs will disappear in the next 20 years. There will be a lot of new jobs, but it is not clear if there will be enough new jobs in such a small time.

Agriculture: There will be a $100 agricultural robot in the future. Farmers in 3^rd world countries can then become managers of their field instead of working all day on their fields.

Aeroponics will need much less water. The first Petri dish produced veal, is now available and will be cheaper than cow produced veal in 2018. Right now, 30% of all agricultural surfaces are used for cows. Imagine if we don’t need that space anymore. There are several start-ups who will bring insect protein to the market shortly. It contains more protein than meat. It will be labelled as “alternative protein source” (because most people still reject the idea of eating insects).

There is an app called “moodies” which can already tell in which mood you’re in. By 2020 there will be apps that can tell by your facial expressions, if you are lying. Imagine a political debate where it’s being displayed when they’re telling the truth and when they’re not.

Bitcoin may even become the default reserve currency.... of the world!

Longevity: Right now, the average life span increases by 3 months per year. Four years ago, the life span used to be 79 years, now its 80 years. The increase itself is increasing and by 2036 there will be more than one year increase per year. So we all might live for a long time, probably way more than 100.

Education: The cheapest smart phones are already at $10 in Africa and Asia. By 2020, 70% of all humans will own a smart phone. That means, everyone has the same access to world class education.

Every child can use Khan Academy for everything a child needs to learn at school in First World countries. There have already been releases of software in Indonesia and soon there will be releases in Arabic, Swahili and Chinese this summer. I can see enormous potential if we give the English app for free, so that children in Africa and everywhere else can become fluent in English and that could happen within half a year.

This is an article on how our lives will change dramatically in 20 years by CEO of Mercedes.

BITTER LEAF BENEFITS!

HOW MUCH DO YOU KNOW ABOUT BITTER LEAF?

Bitter leaf is also known as Veronia amygdalina. In scientific parlance is an aborigine of Africa. It can be cooked, juiced or chewed raw.

Regular consumption of this vegetable helps to regulate blood cholesterol level which is a risk factor for heart attack and stroke.

Bitter leaf is rich in proteins, vitamins, and minerals. Due to the presence of nutrients especially Beta Carotene, it controls the synthesis of female sex hormones. This allows women to stay younger and healthy for a longer duration of time.

Bitter leaf has been shown to significantly lower blood sugar levels. It does not only reduce blood sugar, it also helps to repair the pancreas.

The plant has been widely used and recognized for its efficacy in preventing malaria. Drinking the juice alone is an antidote for malaria.

Consumption of the plant is helpful in increasing milk production in breast feeding mothers. It increases appetite in anorexia (loss of appetite).

It is also useful in treating sleeplessness (insomnia) and boosting immune function. It can be utilized in the management of coughs, helminthiasis (worm infestations), constipation, and as fertility inducers.

There are strong revelations that bitter leaf if incorporated in the diet can slow cancer growth and even kill cancer cells.

TONGUE EXERCISE TO IMPROVE BRAIN POWER & MEMORY

TONGUE EXERCISE TO IMPROVE BRAIN POWER & MEMORY

After the age of 50 one may experience many types of illnesses. But the one I am most worried about is Alzheimer’s.

Not only would I not be able to look after myself, but it would cause a lot of inconvenience to family members....

One day a doctor friend taught me an exercise using the tongue.

The tongue exercise is effective to reduce the onset of Alzheimer’s and is also useful to reduce/improve:

• Body weight
• Hypertension
• Blood-clot in brain
• Asthma
• Far-sightedness
• Ear buzzing
• Throat infection
• Shoulder/Neck infection
• Insomnia

The moves are very simple and easy to learn.....

Each morning, when you wash your face, in front of a mirror, do the exercise as below:

Stretch out your tongue and move it to the right then to the left for 10 times.

Since I started exercising my tongue daily, there was improvement in my Brain Retention.

My mind was clear and fresh and there were other improvements too....

• Far sightedness lesser
• No giddiness
• Improved wellness
• Better digestion
• Lesser flu/cold
• I am stronger and more agile.

Notes:

The tongue exercise helps to control and prevent Alzheimer’s......

Medical research has found that the tongue has connection with the BIG Brain. When our body becomes old and weak, the first sign to appear is that our tongue becomes stiff and often we tend to bite ourselves.

 Frequently exercising your tongue will stimulate the brain, help to reduce our thoughts from shrinking and thus achieve a healthier body.

THE DANGERS OF ASPARTAME

THE DANGERS OF ASPARTAME- 'White Sugar's Big Brother'!

I love making zobo drink by myself. For some time, I stopped using refined sugar because I know it is a killer. Someone introduced me to jolly juice or something like that. I would put like half of the sachet and it is already sweet. I knew something wasn’t quite right until I read the food label. The strange word I saw there was aspartame and since I didn’t know much about it then, I decided to research on it.

The answer I got chilled me to the bones and I asked myself why these companies would use this stuff when they know how dangerous it can be. I became wary of things that will boast of no sugar.

That brings me to another killer Zero coke. People are consuming this without looking back claiming it is healthy.

Zero coke is a KILLER! If you look at the bottle well, you will see where they wrote in tiny letters, “contains aspartame”. This is far much deadlier than sugar so why would these multibillion dollar companies put people’s lives at risk just to make more money?

You can’t feign ignorance because they will claim they wrote the info on their bottles just like cigarette companies will tell you they added a warning that smoking is dangerous to your health.

You can’t fight them because they have the money to buy lawyers, health officials, etc but you can stop yourself from using and also warn your loved ones.

I wanted to buy Orbit chewing gum from shoprite yesterday and of course it has aspartame so I held myself.

Can you imagine how many things we ingest on a daily basis that has aspartame?

It is better to be safe than sorry. DO NOT USE YOUR MONEY TO BUY WHAT CAN KILL YOU.

Aspartame is a non-calorie artificial sweetener comprised of methanol, phenylalanine and aspartic acid. It is used in diet sodas and thousands of other products worldwide. Since it appeared on the US market in the 1980s, aspartame and the possible health risks from the substance have been a topic of much debate.

Research has linked the sweetener to diabetes, fibromyalgia and certain forms of cancer.

Here are some of the dangers of excessive aspartame consumption.

CANCER

Studies have found a dangerous connection between aspartame consumption and the development of brain tumors. When aspartame breaks down, it produces a substance called DKP. As your stomach digests DKP, it produces a chemical that induces the growth of brain tumors.

DIABETES

Aspartame consumption is extremely harmful to people with diabetes. It makes it more difficult to control sugar levels and aggravate diabetes-related conditions such as retinopathy, cataracts, neuropathy and gastro-paresis. The sweetener also has been known to cause convulsions often mistaken for insulin reactions.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS

Emotional and mood disorders have been linked to aspartame. Studies suggest that people with certain emotional problems are more sensitive to aspartame. High levels of aspartame cause changes in the serotonin levels which can lead to behavioural problems, depression and other emotional disorders. In some cases, the side effects were so dangerous that doctors were forced to put an end to the studies.

HINDERS WEIGHT LOSS

Aspartame can be found in diet sodas and most other diet products. However, research indicates that the sweetener increases your hunger and can actually impede your weight loss.

Phenylalanine and aspartic acid can cause spikes in insulin levels and force your body to remove the glucose from your blood stream and store it as fat.

Aspartame also inhibits the production of serotonin and prevents your brain from signalling to your body that you are full. This can lead to food cravings and make it more difficult for you to lose weight.

Birth Defects

Aspartame is an excitotoxin or a substance that has the potential to damage or kill cells in the nervous system. The blood-brain barrier is a structure that stops harmful substances from penetrating the brain. The barrier doesn’t completely form until a child is one year old, therefore, before a child is born, its nervous system is vulnerable to any dangerous excitotoxins that the mother may consume. Too much exposure to phenylalanine or aspartic acid may cause irreversible brain damage and other serious birth defects.

Vision Problems

Methanol, one of Aspartame’s components, can damage the retinas and the optic nerves. Aspartame consumption has been connected to eye pain, blurred vision and, in some cases, blindness.

Brain Damage and Seizures

Aspartame can change the chemistry of the brain. Formaldehyde, a product of methanol, gathers in certain areas of the brain causing degenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and ALS. Aspartame consumption can also trigger seizures in both epileptics and other individuals without a history of epilepsy.

Aspartame may contain fewer calories than sugar, however, the toxic sweetener has the potential to cause serious damage to the nervous system and in the worst case scenarios can be fatal.

CAN ELECTRICITY ENTER OUR BODY THROUGH THE FLASH OF DIGITAL CAMERA?

CAN ELECTRICITY ENTER OUR BODY THROUGH THE FLASH OF DIGITAL CAMERA?

Yes 100% it can happen........

This is a true incident, which happened with a 21 years old boy studying engineering. He died in Keshwani hospital. He was admitted in the hospital in burned conditions.

The reason.......?
He went to Amrawati for study tour, while coming back, he was waiting for a train at the railway station along with his friends. Many of them were taking group photo with their mobiles with digital camera.

This boy was also there and trying to take group photo. The place where he was standing, complete group photo was not coming, so to get complete group photo he went a little back.

The place where he was standing, there was an electric wire with 40,000 volt. As soon as he pressed the button of digital camera, the electricity of 40,000 volt entered the camera through the flash and then the fingers and the whole body.

All this happened in a fraction of few seconds and 50% of his body was burnt, later on he died.

This can happen with anyone as we all are using mobile phones. Are we learned and responsible?

• Avoid using mobile phones at petrol pumps.
• Avoid using mobile phones when you’re driving.

“When mobile is on charging don’t receive call”, 1^st remove the charging pin and then receive the call.

“When mobile is on charge don’t put it on bed or wooden furniture”.

Please don’t use mobile phone/digital camera-flash at railway stations or any other place, where there is a ‘heavy electricity wire’.

Don’t use mobile phones where there is high electromagnetic wave or near electricity transformers, etc.

Don’t use mobile phone in the rain during lightning and thunder and if you must, stay far away from windows and doors.

This is for your safety......

MOST IMPORTANT ATTITUDE FOR LONGEVITY

MOST IMPORTANT ATTITUDE FOR LONGEVITY

THIS WIFE WAS ASKED IF HER HUSBAND MADE HER HAPPY, HER RESPONSE WAS UNEXPECTED

What every wife needs to read, understand and live in her marriage if she wants to build her home.

During a class at Fresno Pacific University, a speaker asked one of the spouses in the audience.

“Does your husband make you happy?”

At this moment, the husband stood up straight, showing complete confidence. He knew his wife would say yes, because she had never complained about anything during their marriage.

However, his wife answered the question with a resounding “No.” “No, my husband does not make me happy”.

The husband was baffled, but his wife continued:

“My husband never made me happy and does not make me happy. I am happy.”

“Whether I am happy or not is not dependent on him, but on me. I am the only person on whom my happiness depends.

I choose to be happy in every situation and every moment of my life, for if my happiness depended on another person, thing or circumstance on the face of the Earth, I would be in serious trouble.

Everything that exists in this life constantly changes: the human being, the riches, my body, the climate, my boss, the pleasures, the friends and my physical and mental health. I could quote an endless list.

I need to decide to be happy regardless of anything else that happens. Whether I own a lot or a little, I am happy! Whether I’m going out or staying home alone, I’m happy! Whether I am rich or poor, I am happy!

I am married but I was already happy when I was single.

I’m happy for myself.

Other things, people, moments or situations are experiences that might cause joy or sadness. When someone I love dies, I am a happy person in an inevitable moment of sadness.

I learn from past experiences and I live those that are eternal like loving, forgiving, helping, understanding, accepting and consoling.

There are people who say: Today I cannot be happy because I am sick, because I have no money, because it is very hot, because it is very cold, because someone insulted me, because someone stopped loving me, because I don’t know how to love myself, because my husband changed, because my children do not make me happy, because my friends do not make me happy, because my job is mediocre and so on.

I love my life not because my life is easier than anyone else’s, but because I have decided to be happy as an individual. I am responsible for my happiness.

When I take this obligation from my husband and anyone else, I free them from the burden of carrying me on their shoulders. It makes everyone’s life much lighter.

And that’s how I’ve had a successful marriage for so many years.”

Never give anyone else the responsibility to control your happiness. Be happy, even if it’s hot, even if you’re sick, even if you do not have money, even if someone has hurt you, even if someone does not love you and even if you do not value yourself.

THAT GOES FOR WOMEN AND MEN OF ALL AGES.

COOKING GAS; THE DANGER WE LIVE WITH

COOKING GAS; THE DANGER WE LIVE WITH

Do you know that the gas cylinder you live with in the kitchen is a time bomb, ready to explode any time? Like the vehicle tyre that has an expiry date, do you equally know that the Gas Cylinder has an expiry date?

Expired LPG Cylinders are not safe for use, so please be careful. The expiring date is coded on the side of the LPG Cylinder in alphabetical order, A, B, C, D in quarters.

A is for March 1^st Quarter

B is for June 2^nd Quarter

C is for Sept. 3^rd Quarter

D is for Dec. 4^th Quarter

GAS CYLINDERS

There are some two digit numbers that follow, e.g. D06. The digits stand for the year the validity expires, D06 stands for 4^th Quarter (December) 2006. That is the expiry date of that LPG Cylinder, so be careful to avoid domestic accidents. 

MANAGEMENT LESSONS

Two Minutes Management Course (Worth Thousand Pounds)

Lesson One:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing.

A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, “Can I also sit like you and do nothing?”

The eagle answered, “Sure, why not.”

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested. All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbit, and ate it.

Management Lesson- To be sitting doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.

Lesson Two:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. “I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,” sighed the turkey, “but I haven’t got the energy.”

“Well, why don’t you nibble on some of my droppings?” replied the bull. “They’re packed with nutrients.”

The turkey perked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enough strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.

Management Lesson- Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won’t keep you there.

Lesson Three:

A little bird was flying south for the winter. It was so cold; the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field.

While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him. As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realise how warm he was.

The dung was actually thawing him out!

He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for joy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate. Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Management Lesson-

•  Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy
•   Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.
•  And when you’re in deep shit, it’s best to keep your mouth shut!

IT PAYS TO HELP OTHERS

IT PAYS TO PAY OTHERS

In 1896, Thomas Edison, the great inventor who invented the electric bulb, was working on an idea to design a car when he heard that a young man who worked in his company had created an experimental car.

Edison met the young man at his company’s party in New York and interviewed him about the car. He was impressed!

He had the same idea as the young man but he was considering electricity as the power source while the young man used a gasoline engine to power the car. He slammed his fist down and shouted ‘young man, that’s the thing! You have it! I think you are on to something! I encourage you to continue your pursuits!

With these words of encouragement from the most highly respected inventor in the United States at that time, HENRY Ford continued his work, invented a car and became wealthy.

On December 9, 1914, Thomas Edison’s laboratory and factory got burnt. He was 67 years old and the damage was too expensive for insurance cover. Before the ashes were cold, Henry Ford handed Edison a cheque of $750,000 with a note saying that Edison could have more if he needed it!

In 1916, Henry Ford relocated his home to the building next to Edison’s home and when Edison couldn’t walk and was confined to a wheelchair by his doctors; Henry Ford also bought himself a wheelchair so that he could run wheelchair races with his friend and mentor!

Thomas Edison made Henry Ford believe on himself and got a friend for life!

Don’t ever be jealous of other people’s success. If you can’t win a race, help the person in front of you break the record!

Putting out the candle light of your neighbour in the dark will never increase the brightness of yours.

Your candle will not lose its light when it lights up another candle. Getting the job done is more important than who gets the glory!

Be inspired, speak positively into someone’s life today, and possibly save a soul.

Ben Carson.

SAFE DRIVING TIPS

SAFE-DRIVING TIPS

WHEN IT IS RAINING!!!

GOOD VISION IN A DOWNPOUR.

How to achieve good vision while driving during a heavy downpour. We are not sure why it is so effective; just try this method when it rains heavily. This method was told by a Police friend who had experienced and confirmed it.

It is useful.......even driving at night.

Most of the motorists would turn windshield wipers on ‘HIGH’ or on the ‘FASTEST SPEED’ during heavy downpour, yet the visibility in front of the wind shield is still bad.

In the event you face such a situation, just put on your ‘SUNGLASSES’ and miracles!

All of a sudden, your visibility in front of your windshield is perfectly clear, as if there is no rain.

Make sure you always have a pair of SUNGLASSES in your car. You are not only helping yourself to drive safely with good vision, but also might save your friend’s life by giving him this idea. Try it yourself and share it with your friends.....!!!

Amazingly, you’ll still see the drops on the windshield, but not the sheet of rain bounces off the road. Wearing sunglasses works to eliminate the “blindness” from passing cars. Or the “kick up” if you are following a car in the rain. They ought to teach this little tip in driver’s training. It really does work. This is a good warning.

I wonder how many people knew about this.

Another good tip:

A 36 year old female had an accident several weeks ago. It was raining, though not excessively when her car suddenly began to hydro-plane and literally flew through the air. She was not seriously injured but very stunned at the sudden occurrence!

When she explained to the Police Officer what had happened, he told her something that every driver should know – NEVER EVER ‘DRIVE’ IN THE RAIN WITH YOUR CRUISE CONTROL ON.

She however, thought she was being cautious by setting the cruise control and maintaining a safe consistent speed in the rain. But the Police Officer told her that if the cruise control is on, your car will in fact begin to hydro-plane. When the tires lose contact with the road, your car will automatically accelerate to a higher rate of speed, making you take off like an aeroplane.

She told the Officer that was exactly what had occurred.

The Officer said, this warning should be listed, on the driver’s seat sun-visor.

‘NEVER USE THE CRUISE CONTROL WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR ICY’

Along with the airbag warning, we tell our teenagers to set the cruise control and drive a safe speed but, we don’t tell them to use the cruise control only when the road is dry.

The only person the accident victim found who knew this, (besides the Officer) was a man who’d had a similar accident, totalled his car and sustained severe injuries.

NOTE:

Some vehicles (like the Toyota Sienna Limited XLE) will not allow you to set the cruise control when your windshield wipers are on.
