Power of Thoughts
Every effect or anything that happens must be caused by something, that the effect must always be come before the cause. ”Dr. LISA TURNER”
Thought generally refers to any mental or intellectual activity involving an individual's subjective consciousness. It can refer either act or process of thinking or resulting ideas or arrangements of ideas
The better thoughts, better critical and creative thinking as well as innovation ‘Sir. EDWIN GULAYI’
Thoughts are the one causes us to take actions, which these actions lead to success, but if these thoughts are poorly developed may lead to failure
People tend to use one part of brain concerning logic and reason, forgetting other side which concerns creativity and innovation rooted by great thoughts.
The more you run your thoughts may lead to
· Many solutions of problems
· Perfect brainstorming
· Do useful things you never do
· Develops your creativity and innovation
We all know that the uniqueness of a person makes a person. Uniqueness came from creativity and innovation, at same time we know creativity and innovation is a result of perfect thoughts. Therefore thoughts make you, lets make it short that Thoughts makes a man
Here I try to make some tips on areas to develop/build thoughts
- Accepting your self
- Overcoming fear
- Practice
- Generating new things and ways of doing things
- Learning
Try to run your brain to try to run your thoughts to success or failure.
Do not restrict your thoughts by
o Thought the same continuously
o Narrowing or use little time on thoughts
o Eating unhealthy diet
o Not taking rest
All secret solutions are within personal thoughts

CRITICAL THINKING AND CREATIVE THINKING
CRITICAL THINKING
• Critical
thinking is the ability to solve problems through the use of reasoning. It is
useful for many activities in everyday life including:
– Choosing
which courses to study, or college,
– Deciding
how to spend your time
– Choosing
friends, boyfriends/girlfriends, life partners, etc
– Evaluating
advertising claims,
– Fixing
a defective item,
– Creating
a budget,
– Deciding
whether or not someone can be trusted.
• For
any idea/options try to answer:
– Why
is the decision important?
– What
other options are there?
– Why
do you choose this option?
– What
are the weak points?
– What
do you like about it?
– What
do you dislike about it?
– What
will be the consequences?
– What
is the evidence?
– Which
are the facts, and which are opinions?
– What
more do you need to know?
– What
would change your mind?
– How
can I find out
CREATIVE THINKING
• Creativity
Coming up with something new
– New
Idea:
• Ways
of using the same thing
– New
or modified product or service
– A
new or modified way of doing something
• Studying
• Serving
customers
• teaching
Principles of Creative Thinking
- There is no exact solution to a problem, but there is always more than one solution to it
- Avoid false beliefs. If you believe you cant find a solution, then you will never find one.
- Don’t restrict your thoughts, a silly idea can lead you to much better one
4. Break free from
the routine at least while thinking for the solution – jog, stare, play
5. Brainstorming -
two unacceptable ideas from your friends can lead you to a third acceptable
idea.
6. Every now and
then do something that you have never done before
7. Try to have some free time every now and then
8. Mingle with creative people, try and see how creative you
are in comparison to those people.
9. Don’t be too afraid of making mistakes; rather always
take them as learning opportunities
10. Have some private space and lots of fresh air when
thinking of a solution to get the brain to its best. Spending time in open
spaces can help you become more creative- sea side, natural sights.
How to restrict your
creativity
• Do
jobs that require you to do the same exact tasks everyday reduce creativity.
Having a desk job
• Work
with strict time tables.
• Working
in closed areas, little space, no air
• Don’t
experiment by trying out new things or new ways of doing things
• Stick
with non creative people
• Unhealthy
diet (chips, oils, insufficient water, vitamins)

INVESTING
It is possible to start with nothing
Never think about being average but higher level investor
If you invest in stocks you are investing in a business, if
you buy a piece of real such as an apartment building, that building is also a
business. If you buy a bond, you are also investing in a business
To be a good investor you first need to be good at business
·
The best way to invest is for you to have your
business, buy your investments for you.
·
The worst way to invest is for you to invest to
invest as individual. Remember business is a person and you’re the second
person.
Investing means different things to different people
Most people are not investors; most people are speculators
and gamblers.
Most people have the buy, hold and pray the price goes up
mentality. Most investors live in hopes that the market stays up and live in
fear of market crashing. A true investor makes money regardless if they are
winning or losing, and they go both long and short. The average investor does
not know to do that and that’s why most are average investors who fail into the
90% that makes only 10% of the money
Preparing mind to become rich investor is simplest phase but
very important. Not only here but in most of things.
MENTALLY PREPARED
·
What you should invest in is in your own
ability, I mean financial status.
·
Can you invest with riches? The answer is NO YOU
CAN’T. Because rich get richer this mostly probably of investment
proportionally. There are barriers in investment details such as minimum amount of investing
WHY NOT POP-UP RICHENING
A person poses the 3E’s which are;
1.
Education –financial education
2.
Experience –in controlling the finance or wealth,
in short life experience
3.
Excessive
cash
You can have a Excessive cash but when you miss the
Education and Experience definitely you will lose them all. Here am talking
about being rich and maintaining wealth.
·
Thinking of who to becoming later
·
Thinking of the path
·
The choice considering
1.
Secure
2.
Comfort
3.
Rich
Most people dream of becoming rich, but it is not their
first choice. Most people become rich disturbs their comforts or makes them
feel insecure, they will forsake becoming rich. People who make security and
comfort their first and second choices look for ways to get rich quick that are
easy, risk free, and comfortable. A few people do get rich on one lucky
investment, but all too often lose it all again.
·
Investing is a plan not product or procedure
HOW CAN YOU FIND THE PLAN THAT IS A RIGHT FOR YOU
1.
Take your
time, even if it’s a week
2.
Ask yourself what you want in life
3.
Don't talk to anyone for a while, atheist you
know what you think you want.
4.
Call financial advisor , me or even online they
are there
·
Find your own plan first by taking action. Being
calling an advisor, set realistic goals, goals will change as you change….but
stick to the plan."Robert Kiyosaki"

THINK POSITIVE
Let yourself be positive. Thinking
positively would mean letting go of appearing and become serious, intellectual,
intelligent. Far from it, you discover a sense of lightness and freedom from
the yoke of criticism, which in turn you will free up your thinking prowess
like never before. Start to challenge all your negative thoughts and Replace
them with positive thoughts. Once you're feeling confident that you can spot
and challenge negative thoughts then start the positive vocabularies and enjoy
positivity life.
Positivity Life vocabularies.
1.
Plant positive thoughts into your
mind deliberately.
2.
Find the good events in life, people
and things around you, all of the time.
3.
Focus on finding more good things in
your life.
4.
Recognize challenging situations and
people as opportunities rather than as setbacks.
5.
Tell yourself that the future is
filled with possibilities and the potential for good things.
6.
Focus your realization that Negative
thinking is often an excuse to stay and be creative and let yourself fall deep
into the flow of positivity.
7.
Consider taking up meditation as a
way to center yourself and learn excellent focus. Meditate every day for 10 to
20 minutes; at a time that's convenient for you, you will increase your
awareness of self and the present and the future too.
8.
Set meaningful goals, no matter how
impossible they may seem at the moment. Keep yourself busy working on them,
throw yourself into reaching them and believe in the cause you've set for
yourself. Once you reach the first goal, you will be inspired to continue with
the remaining goals, as well as adding new ones. With each goal achieved, no
matter how small, you will gain confidence and your self-esteem will increase,
feeding more positivity in your life. And in general, have a plan for your
life––where you want to go.
9.
Stay physically fit and eat
healthily. These are important foundations for a positive outlook.
10.
Thinking with a NOTE. Understand, being
positive obviously doesn't mean that nothing bad will happen. Rather, it means
that when something bad does happen, you think of how to turn it into something
good or think of things in a positive or constructive way. Another word for
this approach is "resiliency", whereby you are able to deal with
negative events in your life in a way that allows you not to bounce back.

TANZANIA
Tanzania has been spared the internal strife that has blighted many African states.
Though it remains one of the poorest countries in the world, with many of its people living below the World Bank poverty line, it has had some success in wooing donors and investors.
Tanzania assumed its present form in 1964 after a merger between the mainland Tanganyika and the island of Zanzibar, which had become independent the previous year.
Unlike many African countries, whose potential wealth contrasted with their actual poverty, Tanzania had few exportable minerals and a primitive agricultural system. To remedy this, its first president, Julius Nyerere, issued the 1967 Arusha Declaration, which called for self-reliance through the creation of cooperative farm villages and the nationalisation of factories, plantations, banks and private companies.

At a glance
Politics: Tanzania has enjoyed stability. Multi-party politics was introduced in 1992
Economy: Annual growth rate has averaged 6.7% since 2006, one of the best in sub-Sahara Africa. Power supplies are erratic and fall short of demand. Gold earnings have been rising
International: Tanzania hosts thousands of refugees from conflict in the neighbouring Great Lakes region
Environment: Experts fear a planned highway threatens the Serengeti game park, Tanzania's biggest draw for tourism
Country profiles compiled by BBC Monitoring
But a decade later, despite financial and technical aid from the World Bank and sympathetic countries, this programme had completely failed due to inefficiency, corruption, resistance from peasants and the rise in the price of imported petroleum.
Tanzania's economic woes were compounded in 1979 and 1981 by a costly military intervention to overthrow President Idi Amin of Uganda.
After Mr Nyerere's resignation in 1985, his successor, Ali Hassan Mwinyi, attempted to raise productivity and attract foreign investment and loans by dismantling government control of the economy.
This policy continued under Benjamin Mkapa, who was elected president in 1995. The economy grew, though at the price of painful fiscal reforms.
Tourism is an important revenue earner; Tanzania's attractions include Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro,
and wildlife-rich national parks such as the Serengeti.
The political union between Zanzibar and mainland Tanzania has weathered more than four decades of change. Zanzibar has its own parliament and president.

Tragedy of Omayra Sanchez
Frank Fournier captured the tragic image of Omayra Sanchez trapped in mud and collapsed buildings. The eruption of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano in Colombia 1985 triggered a massive mudslide. It devastated towns and killed 25,000 people.
After 3 days of struggling, Omayra died due to hypothermia and gangrene. Her tragic death accentuated the failure of officials to respond quickly and save the victims of Colombia’s worst ever natural disaster. Frank Fournier took this photo shortly before Omayra died. Her agonizing death was followed live on TV by hundreds of millions of people around the world and started a major controversy. May her soul rest in peace…
Shortest man world record: It’s official! Chandra Bahadur Dangi is smallest adult of all time
Guinness World Records can today confirm that Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Nepal is the world's new Shortest Living Man, measuring 54.6cm (21.5 in).
Chandra is 5.3 cm shorter than Junrey Balawing of the Philippines, who measures 59.9cm (23.5 in) and was crowned world's shortest man on his 18th birthday last June.
The confirmed measurement also makes Chandra the shortest adult human to ever have their height verified by Guinness World Records, beating a benchmark set by Gul Mohammed, (New Delhi, India, 1957-1997) who measured 57 cm (22.5 in).
Upon the invitation of Mr Chandra, Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, flew from London to Kathmandu to perform an official measurement at the CIWEC Clinic Travel Medicine Center in Lainchaur. In accordance with Guinness World Records guidelines, Chandra was measured three times in 24 hours and his height confirmed to be 54.6 cm (21.5 in).
Chandra claims to be 72 years of age and weighs 14.5kg. He has spent his entire life in the remote Nepalese mountain village of Rhimkholi, about 250 miles west of Kathmandu. He lives there with his five brothers (all of an average height) and makes his living weaving traditional Nepalese garments. Chandra's home is so remote that it wasn't until recently that he gained attention; a forest contractor cutting timber in the village met him and informed local media.
Until now, Chandra's stature has been a burden; acutely aware of the difficulties of fitting into an average-sized world. However he is hopeful that the new title will see a change in his fortunes. "I'm very happy that I'm being recognized by Guinness World Records and that my name will be written in book. It's a big thing for my family, my village and my country. I am very happy.
Chandra's condition has never been diagnosed, as he has never received a checkup from a doctor. It is hoped however that the exposure he receives from as a result of his new record will lead to medical advice and support.
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday, said: "I'm continually amazed that this record keeps getting broken. Just when you think it's impossible for the record to get any smaller, Mr Chandra comes along and astonishes us all by being the shortest person ever measured. What I find equally remarkable is his age - if he really is 72, he is by far the oldest person to be awarded the shortest-man record in Guinness World Record's 57-year history."
Craig continued: "Our job is to measure and record what happens in the world as a document for history. Mr Chandra has probably encountered difficulties with his size but hopefully this new title will open up a whole world of opportunities."
Mr Chandra and his family plan to start a charity in his name to support him and his village. He says: "I will use this to make my country proud."

Lil Wayne
Rapper, songwriter. Born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr. on September 27, 1982, in New Orleans, Louisiana. One of today's most talented rappers, Lil Wayne has been creating rhymes since he was a child. He grew up in Hollygrove, one of New Orleans's poorest neighborhoods.
At the age of eight, Wayne started rapping. He later met brothers Bryan and Slim Williams, the founders of Cash Money Records, who were impressed enough with his skills to give him one of their business cards. Ambitious, Wayne kept calling them until they took him under their wings and let him hang around the label's offices.
Lil Wayne's first recording for Cash Money Records was True Stories (1993), performing with another skilled rapper B.G. under the name the BGs. Away from the studios, he was living dangerously. He sold crack for a time, and accidentally shot himself in the chest, according to an article in Rolling Stone. "It was my mom's gun" he told the magazine in 2008. "It was like a chopper hit me. But the bullet went straight through, and I bounced back in two weeks."
