Really interesting thing
Why  a  wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger?
Pls follow the below step, really god made this miracle( this is from a Chinese excerpt)

Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back
Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips
Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 fingers but only 1 pair can’t split

Try to open your thumb, the thumbs represent parents, it can be open cause all humans do go thru sickness and die.
Which is why our parents will leave us one day
Pls close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the fingers represent brothers and sisters,
they do have their own families which is why they will leave us too
Now close up your second finger, open up your little fingers, this represents your children.
Sooner or later they too will leave us for they have their own living to live
Nevertheless, close up your little finer, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding rings on,
you will be surprised to find that it cannot be open at all.  B
ecause it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attached to each other!!!!!

Real love will stick together forever and ever

Thumb represent parents
Second finger represents brothers & sisters
Centre finger represents own self
Fourth finger represents your partner
Last finger represents your children

cheers,

Bobby

One of the most important components of public speaking is the sound of your voice. It influences the impact of your message, and might even make or break the success of your speech. Fortunately, for many people, good voice quality can be learned.

Instructions :

1. Breathe from your diaphragm – Practice long and controlled exhales. When you speak, use breath to punctuate your point. For example, take a breath at the end of each phrase whether you need to or not. Use that opportunity to pause and let the listeners absorb what you say.
    
2. Use pitch – Lower pitches generally are more soothing to hear. However, modulating your pitch for emphasis will keep your listeners engaged. Develop your pitch by practicing humming.
    
3.  Moderate your volume – Find out if you speak too loudly or too softly. When you begin speaking, ask your audience how your volume is (each situation is different). Try to stay at the appropriate volume throughout your speech.
    
4. Moderate your pace – This one is also closely related to breath. If you speak too quickly, people can’t keep up. If you speak too slowly, people will lose interest. Record your speech to determine if you need to change your pace. Get feedback from others.
    
5. Articulate – Try exaggerating your lip movement to reduce mumbling. Practice articulating tongue twisters and extending and exaggerating vowel sounds. Become an expert at articulating tongue twisters as quickly and crisply as possible. Focus on the ones you find difficult.
    
6. Practice your speech in advance and determine where you want to pause for a breath. For more emphasis, pause for more than one breath. Mark your breathing points in your notes.
    
7. Loosen up before you begin. Look side to side. Roll your head in half-circles and roll your shoulders back. Shift your rib cage from side to side. Yawn. Stretch. Touch your toes while completely relaxing your upper body, then slowly stand up, one vertebra at a time, raising your head last. Repeat as needed.
    
8. Posture – Stand up straight and tall to allow full lung capacity and airflow.
    
9. Record your voice repeatedly using different ways of speaking. Determine which one is most pleasing.
    
10. Practice breath control – Take a deep breath, and while you exhale, count to 10 (or recite the months or days of the week). Try gradually increasing your volume as you count, using your abdominal muscles—not your throat—for volume. Don’t let your larynx tense up.

 A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride. 

 I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up. 

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. 

 Well! I looked around for a “Candid Camera!” Wouldn’t you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”

 “You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. 

 I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and… Wham! I became a cab driver.

  One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by on ‘average’”

 Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America’s loss is the traveling folk’s friend!

 Lessons:

 * Go an Extra Mile when providing  any Service to others.

* The is no good or bad job. You can make any job good.

 * Good service always brings good return.

 man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

 He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

 ’Dear Lord:

 I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.

 Amen!’

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

 He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast, Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,Went grocery shopping,

 Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog. Then, it was already 1P.M.

 And he hurried to make the beds, Do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

 Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

 At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed.

 At 9 P.M . He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -

 ’Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking.

 I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back. Amen!’

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:

 ’My son, I feel you have learned your lesson and I will be happy to change things back to the way they were. You’ll just have to wait nine months, though. You got pregnant last night.’

  EVER WONDER where we are headed…

  Why the sun lightens our hair,

  Why “abbreviated” is such a long word?

  Why Doctors call what they do “practice”?

  Why you have to click on “Start”

  to stop Windows 98?

  Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid

  is made with real lemons?

  Why the man who invests all your money is called a “Broker”?

  Why there isn’t mouse flavored cat food?

  Who tastes dog food when it has a

  Why Noah didn’t swat those two mosquitoes?

  Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

  Why they don’t make the whole plane out of the material used for the

  AND…

  In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of

  On a Myer hairdryer:

  (Darn, and that’s the only time I have to work on my hair).

   On a bag of Chips:

  You could be a winner!  No purchase necessary.  Details inside.

  (The shoplifter special?)

  On a bar of Palmolive soap:

  “Directions:  Use like regular soap”.

  (And that would be how???)

  On some frozen dinners:

  “Serving suggestion:  Defrost”.

  (But, it’s just a suggestion).

  On Nanna’s Tiramisu dessert

  “Do not iron clothes on body”.

>  (But wouldn’t this save me more time?)

  On Boot’s Children Cough Medicine:

  “Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication”.

  (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we

  could just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)

  On Nytol Sleep Aid:

  “Warning: May cause drowsiness”.

  (And…I’m taking this because???)

  On most brands of Christmas lights:

  “For indoor or outdoor use only”.

  (As opposed to…what?)

  On a Japanese food processor:

  “Not to be used for the other use”.

  (Now, somebody out there, help me on this.  I’m a bit curious.)

  On Nobby’s peanuts:

 “Warning: contains nuts”.

  (Talk about a news flash!)

  On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

  “Instructions:  Open packet, eat nuts”.

  (Step 3: maybe, uh…fly Delta?)

  I don’t blame the company; I blame the parents for this one:

  On a child’s superman costume:

  “Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly”.

What’s Holding You Back?????

Everyone wants the good things in life.

Everyone wants to be a successful person.

Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire?

Who doesn’t want to have a big house, car, wonderful holidays?

With the exception of a few saintly people in this world,

I believe most would somehow dream about it sometimes in their lives?

But what’s holding people to go out to achieve what they have been dreaming for?

I’m sure many of you will be able to come out with a lot of reasons and causes.

But the fact remains – WHAT prevents people from going for what they want?

People will come up with reasons like:- “I don’t have money”, “I don’t know people”,

“I came from a poor family”, “This country is different”, “The economy is not good”,

“I don’t have the qualifications”, “I don’t have the ability”, “I’m a girl”, “I’m too young”, “I’m too old” and many more.

The interesting things are that people have achieved their dreams even when they don’t have money,

when economy is bad, when they have no qualification.

In fact they have achieved their dreams in worst kinds of conditions than those listed above.

And now, an inspiring note : “If someone somewhere can achieve it, so can you!”

So we come back again, what’s holding you back?

Nobody, not the environment, not your family, not your background,

not even your girlfriend or boyfriend – It’s YOU, yourself!

What’s within yourself that holds you back??

Self-doubt – You are not sure of yourself – you have no confidence in yourself,

you actually don’t believe in yourself and your own ability.

This is indeed an irony because we are the greatest miracle that was ever “created” and

yet we doubt ourselves. And most of us tend to hide in our dark side.

This is very well stated by Nelson Mandala,-”Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?” Somehow people seem to be brought up that to expose our “talents” is not being “humble”.

I strongly believe that not to exploit our talents make us live a life of hypocrisy and unhappiness.

Only through exercising our potentials are we accomplishing the reasons why we are on this planet.

Do not be like the millions of people who live, walk and died in this life with the music inside them left unsung.

So, free yourself from the fear of failure, don’t bother what people say, move on regardless of all rejections.

If some people reject you or your ideas, which they have the right to, so WHAT! You too have your right to stick to your ideas.

So move on to the next person. Just do what you have planned and you will be surprised by what you can achieved.

After all, how do you or other people know you can’t do it until you have tried ?

May your power be released.

If after you read this message above, you feel like running out to make a huge change to the world.

If after you read this message above, you feel like doing something DIFFERENT to your life right now.

If after you read this message above, you feel like you are stuck in the middle of your life. Not knowing what’s next.

If after you read this message….. if you ever felt something ….. some DESIRE to do something!

To make a change to your life. No one moved your cheese. You just did – yourself!

ALWAYS REMEMBER:

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

but by the moments that take our breath away.

Exercise

:

The Real Wonder Drug

A review and reminder

Exercise is good for the mind and for the body.

It sharpens the mind and boosts mood.

It provides energy and a sense of mastery.

It improves the quality of your sleep so you wake up

Feeling better rested.

It keeps the heart and blood vessels in working order.

It protects against such common conditions as diabetes.

It is invaluable in weight control.

Now comes more good news:

Intense exercise may curb your sweet tooth.

Animal studies show that exercise decreases preference for sweetness.

Scientists aren’t sure why exercise has this effect.

It may be that intense activity revs up endorphins

And related substances in your brain,

And that powerfully positive blast of pleasure

Might decrease the need for satisfying food.

The danger for athletes is that such an effect

Might keep them from consuming enough

Food to replace calories lost in exertion.

But most of us have no such problem.

And there’s more good news…

Long-term exercise

Improves your immune system with 30 minutes of exercise a day.

Three times a week, adults strengthened not only their muscles

But the immune system’s first line of defense against viral infection.

Blood tests showed them to have more active natural killer cells.

They had no such boost in immune function

If they exercised for only three months.

It took 11 months of working out to impact the immune system.

The results were especially important because the exercisers

Were older adults. The researchers say the study demonstrates

How a little exercise can help people maintain their health

And independence with advancing age.

And that leads directly to other new findings.

For example, working out is great,

But when you stop doing it,

You lose the benefits.

As the saying goes, use it or lose it.

When you stop exercising, you lose not only the physical benefits,

But the psychological benefits as well.

In this case, researchers looked at adults with lung disease

And found that after just 10 weeks of exercising —

Doing aerobic workouts,

Strength training and

Stretching three times a week

– there were significant gains mentally and physically.

Exercisers boosted high-level cognitive abilities and were

Better able to maintain train of thought.

They also showed fewer signs of depression and anxiety.

If they kept on exercising, they maintained the benefits,

But there were no subsequent gains in mental or physical function

Even if they kept up the good work for a year.

There comes a point where the gains max out.

However, those who stopped exercising returned

To their original, pre-study level of functioning.

They lost all they had gained.

No matter what, you just have to keep up the physical activity

To get the benefits.

And don’t expect a single bout of exercise to do much good,

At least for your sleep.

If exercise isn’t habitual, a single period of exertion

– whether it’s aerobic exercise or resistance-type exercise

– can actually disrupt your sleep.

If losing weight is one of the benefits you seek,

Then studies show your exercise has to consist of

Aerobic and calorie-burning activities,

Such as

Walking,

Jogging,

Swimming or

Bicycle riding.

Weight training offers many benefits —

Like building muscle and strength,

Boosting immunity,

Reducing the risk of low-back injury —

But by itself it won’t burn enough calories to promote much weight loss.

So get into the habit

.

Choose an activity that you like and

One you can keep on doing.

And just keep going at a nice steady pace.

cheers,
Bobby Wan

The Power of Words

How many times have we set goals, visualized our desired outcome, created and repeated positive affirmations, and yet still not achieved what we had hoped? There are numerous potential causes for this. Sometimes its simply a matter of WORDS.

Every sound we utter sends out an energy wave that aids in creating our world. With every sentence we speak we are improving or destroying our health, relationships, finances, etc.

The most powerful example I’ve ever heard was a story told to me directly by the woman who had the experience. This woman had developed an incurable disease of the eyes. She was quickly going blind. Her physicians said there was NOTHING they could do. Being very determined and not liking what she heard, she turned to alternative therapies for a possible cure – something she never would have done had she not been in this desperate situation. A friend recommended she see someone that did crystal healing. She thought that sounded ridiculous but decided to give it a try. During her appointment, the crystal healing therapist asked her to describe herself, her life, etc. and she let her talk for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, the therapist stopped her and said “Did you know that in the last 10 minutes you said the words ‘I hate to see’ 15 times?” The woman was shocked. She used the words “I hate to see” before many things. “I hate to see the way the world is going.” “I hate to see how they  are treating the children in schools.” On and on she made reference to “I hate to see” this or that. This was literally an eye opening experience. She switched her words and now years later has perfect vision.

HOW MANY WORDS DO WE USE THAT DESTROY OUR DESIRES?

NEVER NEVER NEVER say “I’m Sorry.” Two of the most powerful words in the English language are the words I AM. These words tell every part of you – your personality, your subconscious, your ego, your spirit – who you are. They define WHO YOU ARE. Be very careful what you place behind those words. When you say “I’m sorry,” you are saying that WHO YOU ARE is a sorry individual. Replace the words “I’m sorry” with “I apologize.” Anyone who eliminates the words “I’m sorry” from their vocabulary will increase their self esteem almost immediately! The same goes for “I’m sick.” “I’m tired.” “I’m stupid.” – you get the idea. Replace those with “I feel ___” and eliminate the stupid comment altogether.

SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH GOAL ACHIEVEMENT?

Another very important aspect of conscious language is the LAW OF FOCUS. What ever we place our attention on is what we create. It’s important to focus on the positive thing we desire rather than the negative thing we want to avoid. For example, never focus on NOT AGING. Focusing on not aging ensures that you will age and quickly. Instead focus on being healthy, vibrant, and youthful.

An interesting and often overlooked part of all this is the need to avoid words that are negating a negative. What the heck do I mean by that? A word like LIMITLESS is actually drawing the subconscious mind to focus on LIMITS. This is NOT what we want. So saying something like LIMITLESS ABUNDANCE is placing limits on the abundance.

An example from my own life is the word EFFORTLESS. In the past when I made affirmations, I would typically end them with the words “easy, effortless, and fun.” An example might be “Having a wonderful relationship is easy, effortless, and fun.” This was actually drawing EFFORT into my life. Since I have eliminated that word and now only use “easy and fun” EVERYTHING has shifted. We sold our house in 2 weeks because it was “easy and fun.” – and there was no EFFORT involved. Doug’s immigration process to the U.S. was taken care of in less than 2 months. There are many, many other examples of how this has made things move very quickly and easily for us.

Review your own affirmations and the words you say out loud or just to yourself and see how POSITIVE you are actually being. It does make a difference!

cheers,

Bobby Wan
