I ponder and I wonder, is this a self driven motivation or is it just to prove that I control my own fate. My destiny drives me or do I always cajole destiny to change its path to a direction I point at.
The devil's advocate tells me lady luck is kind. I turn back and give him a devilish smile and I tell him, " a women can never do this to a women, I flirt with their men you see".
Zues is my companion when spring falls and Poseidon offers me his cloak when it mizzles.
My Locus of Control is governed by me.

Emotions that drive you
How amazing can be emotions that drive to the edge, they can make the world suddenly shirk for you and expand it beyond the horizon at the same time.
To cry and smile with joy at the same when someone close to come back to you or your long awaited dream is fulfilled.
Life has many unanswered questions. Why is it that the person that you love the most is able to hurt you the most and the smiles back and gives you the most cozy hug, makes you feel better and brings back the smile on your face. The human mind is the most complex mechanism that has been able to solve the unsolvable problems in the universe, discovered galaxies and yet, it has not been able find the answer to this secret.

PERSONAL FINANCE
"Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning."
This is perfectly said for the Personal Finance.
One of the Wisest Investments You'll Ever Make
If you think this is about stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, jewels, etc., you're wrong! All of these can be good investments, but your children are the wisest investment you'll ever make. Teaching your children to be well-rounded individuals will help them out in the long run to fit into and contribute to society. As they contribute in society this in turn helps out everyone, including you as a parent.Giving your children the right skills and knowledge can be one of the most rewarding and wisest choices you'll every make. Parents can work with their children at a young age helping them develop skills that will last a lifetime. These skills cannot be learned overnight. As parents you must let your children see you applying the skills you are trying to teach them.There are a number of areas in which parents can help their children develop. Some of these areas would include: a good work ethic, ability to work and interact with others in many settings, good ethics and respect for the laws of the land, good understanding of financial matters and learning at a young age to work toward financial independence.A good work ethic is a skill that is developed over time. As an employer or business owner, you appreciate the efforts that are extended in your work or business. As an employee you should feel satisfaction in working hard and accomplishing whatever task you may be working on and in being honest with your employer. Employees that work hard will get noticed by their employer and treated accordingly.Teach your children at a young age to work hard and do their chores. Young children should be given chores or small jobs to do. By doing this at a young age your children will learn responsibility and learn not to quit when the going gets rough. Having a good work ethic will help determine what kind of earning power your children will have as adults. If your children can be taught these skills while they are young they are more likely to be financially secure in years to come.Children that have been taught the skills of getting along with others in different social settings will have an advantage when they become adults. The advantage will come into play when they interact with other people in business, social, and financial settings. For example: In the business world you run into all kinds of people and you need to know how to act in order to be successful. These skills can be taught to young children by letting them interact with children similar in age and, as the children get older, be involved in activities with other children.By doing this the children learn good social skills and witness different attitudes and types of people. The more your children have chances to interact with other children during their growing up years, the better their social skills are and the better they are at dealing with other people. During this time that your children interact with others you will want to visit with them to see if they have issues concerning the way other children act or behave. When you talk with your children you will help them understand the correct way to handle different situations that come up.Helping your children to develop good ethics for country and laws of the land is very important. Good examples from parents are one of the main keys in helping your children develop these skills. If your children see you obeying the laws of the land, including paying your taxes, they will see that this important. Talk to your children about the laws of the land. Tell them that you may not always agree with all the laws, but nonetheless they are the laws and must be followed. Let them know that as citizens there is a process that can be followed to change the laws when we don't agree with them.Discuss with your children why we pay taxes and what tax dollars are used for. As your children understand that tax money is what supports the government and a lot of the programs we have in society, they will begin to understand the importance of paying taxes. It would also be good to discuss with your children areas in government where the money is not spent wisely. Let them know that the government is not fiscally responsible all the time. There are areas for improvement. Discuss with your children ways you or they can get involved in government of local issues. Volunteering time for community activities will help your children gain the spirit of community service. As your children serve in the community they are more likely to become better citizens and obey the laws of the land.Financial independence is a goal we all should be working for. It is very important that you teach your children ways to become financially independent. They are most likely to learn these skills from you as the parents. While your children are young make them aware of what you are doing in your investments and long term financial planning. When your children get older let them get involved in your financial planning and help them to do some of their own investing. If you can start setting aside some money for your children shortly after they are born, they will then have some money to start investing when they get old enough to learn and take part. You as the parents have the greatest opportunity to influence your children to become well-rounded individuals. If you are willing to invest in your children's future, they can develop a good work ethic, build good social skills, become outstanding citizens in their local communities and become financially independent. The investment is definitely worth it, because one day your children may be the leaders of the future

ISLAMOPHOBIA
The Quran states that ‘no man has the right to take the life of another’, killing innocent people in the name of jihad is misinterpretation of Islam and according to the Quran considered a sin.
It is true that one may hate a certain community or person but to constantly create an atmosphere of hatred may destroy innocent lives along with the guilty. The prime minister of Britain, Mr. Tony Blair maintains that an extreme and perverse form of Islam,
And not the support for the American invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq is to blame for the terrorism that has now shown its bloody face in London. He has completely ignored the fact that while London was planning and funding terrorism in West Asia, the individuals involved were not considered a domestic threat and therefore basically ignored. As a result it is reaping the harvest of the seeds once sown and Islam and its followers are being blamed all around the world, even in India; a religion sensitive country which is supposed to be secular as postulated by its constitution. India itself is suffering from five decades of terrorism in the hands of Pakistan.
There is no doubt that the form of Islam resulting is suicide bombers is twisted and perverse. We are sitting on a simmering pot for some time and the sharp divisions of understanding between generations of Muslim community have created dissatisfied youths whose issues need to be addressed but terrorism is not the way to make one self be heard. It may be impossible to persuade the Osama Bin Laden devotees that their form of Islam is not Islam but some sort of theory to justify their actions. The outlook professed by them is resulting in development of despise and hatred for all Muslims. It is said that history repeats, if this is true then what once happened to the Jews may happen to the Muslims too.
Religion is a very sensitive issue and to comment critically on it is all the more dangerous in a society where extremism has taken shelter in religion but the present day situation makes it necessary that people are served with that are an eye opener.
Every religion condemns violence, and violence in the name of religion is preposterous.
According to the Book of Mathew, Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, said that we must also love our enemies but at least one of our precepts of Christianity, to love thy neighbor
Seem so far to have prevailed over the fear and anger created by terrorists attacks all over the world.
There is an existing problem of the propagation of extremism amongst young Muslim but this does not mean that every Muslim living is a suicide bomber. People have now started to live with the phenomenon of the suicide bomber next door. Today anyone who has dark skin, dark hair and brown eyes is a potential suspect because Asia is slowly starting to be considered as a breeding ground of terrorists but we must not forget that London was during the Nineties, increasingly a base for the promoting, funding and planning of terrorism in West Asia and else where.
The United States of America was also involved in rearing the extremists like Laden in Afghanistan. Now the climate of mass killing promoted by the Al Qaida Network is sort of a scientific experiment that proved fatal and back fired. It seems that people have forgotten that no religion teaches violence. For a few hand full of so called ‘Jihadis’, Islam should not be blamed.
