    “Cast your burdens upon Me
    Those who are heavily laden, 
    Come to Me, all of you who are tired
    Of carrying heavy loads, 
    For the yoke I will give you is easy
    And My burden is light, 
    Come to Me and I will give you rest”.

    Thanks for the useful information and feedback which you are providing. What this shows is that if one does not provide the right quality of checkers then it is a loss for the site, the authors and the variety of content which can be blogged. As more variety of content helps sites generate more hits which increase its revenue and that in…[Read more]

    Hello, Cely!

    I am not familiar with Pixabay.

    Can you enlighten me on this?

    If I copy an image from them, will this be an exclusive image that I will be the only one to use it or can anybody just copy from this site?

    Agree with you. What I am telling is stop using or promoting the checkers which do not do a good job as what is there in the blog page we submit is the one which we use. So promote someone who does a good job and does not cause harm to sites or their authors. All this even after charging money. What it means is people who are not…[Read more]

    • Giving back to Society is something that has been there in societies earlier too. In West, all this is very systematic and Organized. Unfortunately in India, even some NGOs have had some dubious track records. People can misuse funds for good cause. One has to be careful.
      Sometimes, dubious actions cause formation of more distrust. It is up to the Governments as well as civil society to imbibe moral values so that such misdeeds are less, and people help the really needy in an empowering way- not help beggars by giving alms, but may be providing them avenues for education, jobs and self employment.

    I do see your point Krishna. But based on the tests taken. I think sites like copyscape can accurately find out the plagiarism. Though I do understand your point that not all the tools are accurate. To which I agree.  But some of the expensive tools like copyscape definitely are more accurate and they find out many such content through their…[Read more]

    I think listverse is the top paying site. But they require quality content. As in grammatically good and containing more than 1000 words. So that means there are very few sites out there who can pay you that much high. It has around 100$ worth of payment for each article written. So you can see that it can be really good option for anyone who…[Read more]

    Many of us have gone through the situation where we have some sort of suffering. You can find that suffering makes it a bit hard for many of us to handle the life. And this results in anxiety. So one has to always […]

    • to some limit yea you can say some of the this issue is related to joulousy and wishing to have things that others have it and feel greedy, that is one reason but not the only, work make you stressed , cowoerks make you stress, love make you strss, rude poeple at street make you stress and so on long list

    • Others have guts and others do not have better wait for the right timing than to gamble, very risky.Nice post friend, very real.

    • You are very correct about anxiety-driven desires we try to get but can’t have. In a way, persistence and determination, with positive outlook, can reverse those anxiety-triggering let-downs from within and from those around us. That’s why I stir away from whiny, complaining, fault-finding, negative people.

      Surround yourself with positive encouraging people that will help you experience the joy of achieving the goals we want to accomplish in having.

    Mahesh wrote a new post, Diamonds Are They Worth Buying 7 years, 8 months ago

    Most of the people out there in the world are chasing diamond all the time. I have seen that diamond and gold has lot of fascination. People are going to spend a lot of money to buy them. I have not seen not a […]

    • Diamond as the saying goes, is a girl’s bestfriend. Indeed, it is if a diamond is given as a gift by someone who likes you. But not when you have to buy it yourself because it is so expensive that if you are an ordinary employee, it will take you years to be able to save for a diamond.

      Though, it is said that a diamond’s price increases as years pass by. Just like antique things, their value would go up never go down. It’s actually a good investment.

    • I for one do not like gold, diamonds and the like for the purpose of personal use neither for me not my family. Even my children also seem to have the same bent of mind. I feel in today’s it is good not to wear such things and roam around be it any country in the world. It is like wearing a Mala or necklace of currency and walking on busy streets. There is always risk to like. I have heard of people whose legs, hands and ears have been chopped to get a hold of this metal which they were wearing.

      Coming to the commercial aspect of it I suggest one does trading in the bullion market. It is good to trade in units of gold which one can buy and trade as it is in a dematerialized form so there is no risk for ones life and gold and metals like them have a cycle of peaks and downs one has to know where to enter into the market and be there for the long run if one wants to profit it. Diamonds are in my opinion not to be had by all and sundry. Each one of us has a unique diamond which we are supposed to keep. As some diamonds are unlucky for some. So the wearer must be careful to know which of the stone is good for him or her. Thanks for the share.

    • There is a song that is entitled Diamond Are Forever, hehehehe, if I am only rich, I wanna buy diamond, the real one not fake one.Yes, you are right, only the wealthy can afford to buy diamond and have it shown to their friends in the high strata of society, to be famous and not to be robbed and murdered hehehe. That is money and sued mostly by robbers/ thief/ burglars.

    • Worth buying? “Worth” means a value has been attached to something. Diamonds definitely have value. They are used for more than just pretty pieces of jewelry. So my answer to the question is: “Yes! They are worth buying.” But they are not worth stealing. Ever watch the movie “Marathon Man”?

    • Most women dream of owning a diamond, who doesn’t?

      But did you know that an experiment was made way back in 1796 by Smithson Tennant, a British Chemist, that diamond is not forever?

      He experimented on proving that diamond can vanish and will just turn into a carbon dioxide?

      He burned a diamond by using a magnifying glass and the sun. When it is already burning he put the diamond in a liquid oxygen.

      The bubbles formed and the
      diamond eventually vanished into
      thin air or it just turned into carbon
      dioxide.

      So the phrase,

    • It is old fashion now even the rich care for other things than diamond such as cars, travelling, going ou parties and more things that are not for jewelary also they care for fashion and bags and beauty icons more than this, owning houses villas living here and there is more importnat than jewellary also

    • Good to hear of the improvements in your photography course since my last comment in your post. I want to tell you I have many photographer friends who are having their own page on the facebook. Many also join groups which are for budding photographers. I am a member in on such group on facebook. There are many expert photographers who are offering valuable comments which are very useful and new photographers are clarifying issues they have. No doubt I am not into photography as of now.

      I am sharing whatever I know. One more thing is that I read a article about photography by a person who takes photos only through a good quality mobile. He says he finds it convenient to use and the quality of pictures are good too. He is building a album. As going for cameras and equipment are costly he is doing this. Mobile will be there with him always. Some more photographers are using macro photography and it is a specialization which they are perfecting. Hope this information is useful and thanks for the share.

    • You have a very good hobby, soon you will be hired to demonstrate techniques how to have perfect photo shooting.
