    It is only those who have reached a stage where they only see  positive things around them will know what it is to have this power of positive thinking. I have gone through traumatic experiences only because of m […]

    • Absolutely. Being optimistic can relieve our stressful day.
      Always think positive to have a good heart, as they say.
      Though, it is impossible to be positive when all the people around you are negative thinkers.
      It is impossible sometimes to be positive when in your working place, all your co-workers treat you as their competitor.
      It is impossible to be positive when you are suffering from deadly illness or you are suffering from a great disaster.
      However, it is good to always put in mind that being positive makes everything okay.

      • It is possible. Just try and get that book by Norman Vincent Peale. You will get the guidance there. I have seen terminally ill peple having a smile on their face and so on

    • I would like to second you in this regard. I am impressed by this short but great post written by you. I would like to read it again and again as it is a great source of inspiration for me.

      You seem to be perfect in this field. You seem to have an inborn talent in this connection. Waiting anxiously for some more post on the same topic – Motivation.

      • I am glad you liked this post Thanks. If you can get that book written by Norman Vincent Peale that could help. It helped me.

    • It is more a site that was created by someone who had no knowledge whatsoever about such sites that it got messed up even before it could be well established. I could save a few posts but now it is suspended and one cannot reach it any more.

    • The Day I heard about Tinycent I was pretty certain it was a scam. Then some guy came on posting how he’d spoken to the Owner and the Owner told him… so I knew it was a scam.

      gotmatter is the continuation as the government shut down Tinycent, which is why the server is in singapore.

    bestwriter wrote a new post, A Stray is no Different From a Pedigree 7 years, 9 months ago

    A Pedigree breed is what we thought would be ideal to adopt as pets and we did move in that direction. We have had two of the pedigree pets and others a mix with a strain of pedigree in all of them. After all […]

    • Training with compassion does the trick When they know we love them they will do as we tell them

    • Well, the definition of stray and pedigree are entirely different. Pedigree has to do with a class of animal. For example, if the dog is purebred or of mix breed. A stray is an animal that has no place to call home regardless of its breed. I say this because we found a stray chihuahua once (we still have her). Just like children, all dogs have a unique personality about them. They are all different. I have three dogs and they all act differently. My pit bull is quieter and laid back, while the chihuahua likes to run around barking at everything. Their puppy (yes, the pit bull and the chihuahua mated) likes to run around and jump up and down and is the happiest puppy ever that loves to tear up furniture.

    • My first dog was a purebred miniature shetland sheep dog. She lived till the ripe old age of 16 years and never developed any diseases except for a little bit of arthritis. She was also a joy to have and to hold and to cherish. My second dog was a miniature American Eskimo, pure white with a brown nose and brown eyes. But being of the category spitz dog, she was quite the handful and needed constant training and watching. She would even jump the fence and that is what happened one day. She jumped the fence and even though I looked high and low for her, I never found her. My third dog was a mix German Shepherd and Husky. She also lived till about 17 years old.She was definitely a joy to hold, to love, to pet and cherish. I really enjoyed my walks with her especially in the winter. Being part Husky, she fared much better when it was cold. All dogs, whether purebred or stray or mixed breeds deserve a loving hand and home.

    On November 8 the Prime Minister of India announced demonetization of currency notes with a denomination of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 Reports have it that it was a dictatorial announcement – not even the Finance M […]

    • This daring move by India’s PM made the news in the USA. I was dumfounded. I thought to myself “Is this going to work?”

      So it wasn’t a good idea huh? Can’t say I’m surprised at the results. But when crime is bad and something has to be done, I can sort of understand the PM thinking “We need to do something drastic!” He must have been desparate!

    • Black money in cash is only 6% and rest is in gold, property and other instruments.And much of it is stacked in Switzerland.

      This has put the middle class and poor who mostly deal in cash at great hardship.
      What can they do with 2000 rupee notes? There are many other restrictions too

    • Not trying to tell the PM how to govern, but leaders need to think of the impact of their decisions on the masses before implementing solutions. Why should the middle class and poor always have to suffer? Life is hard enough for them without making an “everyday activity” a “criminal offense”. The thought of this just makes me angry and I’m not even the one being directly impacted. But I do empathize.

      • As they say ends do not justify means and here the means are disastrous. People are dying waiting in queues. With frauds in banks there is no currency left for the common man. But they being in the majority opposition is struggling to send the message.

    • Our politicians!! What can we say about them. And of course the rich and the corrupt always know about these things in advance. There are reportedly billions of dollars in Swiss banks that aredeposited by corrup[t third world leaders and flats, chateaus, diamonds, even castles. They will not be affected by these decisions. It is always the poor who suffer. Not a fan of Modi for many other reasons too. And you can bet there will be “incidents” that take away media’s and people’s attention away from these issues and focus on those instead.

    • You are so right. Just about 6% is in currency and this man is trying to arrest black money. Already new notes are in the hands of those who have converted their black money into white.
