A lot of Historical events took place on 10th January like :
49 BC - Julius Caesar crosses the Rubicon, signaling the start of civil war.
1642 - King Charles I & family flee London for Oxford
1911 - 1st photo in US taken from an airplane, San Diego
1911 - Honduras signs treaty turning over customs to US (not ratified)
1912 - World's 1st flying boat's maiden flight, (Glenn Curtiss in NY)
1932 - "Mickey Mouse" & "Silly Symphony" comics syndicated
1941 - World War II: The Greek army captures Kleisoura.
1942 - Japan invades North-Celebes, Neth Indies
1944 - British troops conquer Maungdaw, Burma
1946 - 1st radar contact with Moon
1951 - 1st jet passenger trip made
1964 - Panama severs diplomatic relations with US
1966 - India & Pakistan sign peace accord
And then ...
1977 - I was born and all the other events seemed pale in comparison
So what did I do all these years ? I enjoyed ! At times it was a roller coaster ride ..at times smooth sailing , but when I look back I can say definitely that "Yes I enjoyed ! "
I also collected some gyaan on the way and today I feel so good that I have decided to share these gyaan with everyone .
1. A glass full of goodies : It doesn't really matter whether the glass is half full or half empty. Just make sure that it has something that you love in it. You are not going to worry about a glass filled with bitter juice ...are you ?
2. Don't be afraid to upgrade yourself : While it is important to be yourself and people should love you for what you are , don't be afraid to release a next improved version of yourself if you find any bugs .
3. Accept your weakness : Yes you are a superman/superwoman. But just discard your super man/woman outfit the moment it shrinks or gets ripped and go for a designer outfit . Laughing , crying , anger all these make us more human.
4. Be out in Sunshine : Try to get your daily dose of sunshine. Apart from the fact that it has got something to do with bones (vit D ???) , sunshine kills the germs in your head . It sometimes gives a completely new perspective of the situation.
5. Practice kindness : It enhances your inner beauty . My face radiates and glows when I as much as lend a pencil to my arch rival. Kindness will definitely take you further than intelligence.
6. Time heals all wounds : Bad things happen to good people also. Time is the best doctor. Cry if you must. Break a few glasses if it makes you happy . But try to take those baby steps and move away from your grief.
7. People deserve a second chance but not a third : Trust them once ...trust them twice. Its your life man ! Its important . You just can't risk it for every Tom Dick and Harry or Sandra , Preethi and Gurpreet.
8: People cannot read your mind : Do tell them what you are thinking. While you comment I am off to remind people that its my b'day and what gift would really really make me happy .
