List of 10 things I love to do online

1. I recently came across a site goodreads.com; this site has a vast amount of books to read. I find it great to manage sometime to read other people’s mind; and the collection of quotes in this site is just awesome.
2. I seldom browse through Blogger’s blogs of note to get a peek into people’s creativity and indulgence in various aspects of life.
3. I seldom check the top trends in twitter (for the day) and click on the term that interests me to find out all the related opinions, comments and facts about the same.
4. I have fine tuned myself for using dropbox this year; and I found it a great way to keep my data stored (and shared, when I want) in a safe way.
5. I love to spur my mind by having a peek at the slideshow of the highest rated photos on flickr for past 1 week.
6. I love to send my colleagues e-cards. I have been using 123greetings for this ad infinitum.
7. I frequently surf scribd to find out ancient medical books and literature that is hard to find in paper prints these days. There are many such sites but I have found this one to be the best.
8. I frequently subscribe to the rss list of noteworthy medical journals and sites so that I get my daily dose in the inbox.
9. I love to check for the latest surgical techniques by absorbing the videos in youtube.
10. Facebook. The love of our lives. The affair continues, though the sheen has started to fade a bit.

10 things to stop tolerating

1. People who conspire to bring you down: Try your level best to bring the best out of people; however, remember that relationships are supposed to help you, not hurt you.  Spend time with nice people who are levelheaded, driven by ethics and like minded.
2. A work environment that you don’t appreciate: A major part of your life would be spent at your workplace; choose efficiently. Don’t settle on the first or second career choice you dabble in; you’re your searching engines roaring to help you obtain the best.  If you find your work environment asphyxiating, its time to call quits.
3. The negative spaces of your mind: Be aware of the negative echoes that emanate from your mind.  Know when to put a kibosh on.  Don’t keep in company with negative thoughts for the chances of you getting adversely affected would run high.
4. A cluttered living space: Seek the arrangements and orders; the nature is full of discipline and systems.  Get rid of stuff you don’t use. Make it a habit to clean your work space before switching on the screen.
5. Being repetitive: Explore facets of life. Do things differently. Learn new skills. The more you experience, the more rewarding your life story gets.
6. Dishonesty: Honesty is an act of faith, and faith has no substitute. Cultivate above par standards.  Don’t be dishonest to any body and don’t put up with people who are. An honest failure is better than a corrupt win.
7. Stress to fit in with the herd:  You are born different. You are burdened with mammoth expectations; and you can possibly do more harm to you by adding your own expectations from yourself. Live freely. Know your uniqueness. Cultivate it. Bask in its glory.  Don’t kowtow.  Be you, because that’s the only person you can be.
8. Fear of change: Nature’s ordeals are difficult to understand; the only constant of nature is change. Life is an assemblage of various changes.  Every day is a different leaf in the book of life.  Embrace it and shine brilliantly.
9. All work and no play: Take out some time to thwart off work related worries. Have a ball. If you’re smiling, you’re doing something right. Playing means doing something that you love to get indulged in; getting relaxed is important.
10. Inadequate preparedness: Life can take unpleasant turns at times; preparedness holds the key. Don’t pass your sell-by date.

10 random acts of kindness

Donate your old shoes and clothes to the persons in need. For you these things may be a piling heap of discomfort, for them these are their paper boats in their stormy lives.

Spare yourself from developing addiction to social media. Liking a status is OK; but giving a real high-five may mean more to someone in your vicinity at that moment. Moreover, life is for real till the time we breathe, so don’t let virtual spheres go disproportionately important.

Make your kid win that video game from you. Allowing him to enjoy a triumph in OK, but let him sweat hit hard to get this status.

When a conference gets successfully completed, personally thank everyone – right from the projector supervisor to the person who had been serving you the cookies.

Don’t react to a situation without getting a good insight to it. Don’t stare at a fellow passenger just because he brushed against your car; he might be in real hardship that particular moment.

Think of the pizza delivery boys who have to toil real hard when it’s a national holiday for everyone. Tip them well.

Judge someone’s mind and act in accordance. Your spouse had been wanting since long to catch that special screening of the latest flick. Why not book the best seats right now?

Save electricity. Reduce carbon prints. Purposely shutting off an hour’s electricity supply of your home every month would be a good step to contribute to the society.

 Don’t allow someone else to clean the clutter created by you. Do it yourself.

Tell your children how much you love them. Give them the well deserved hug, tightly.

10 things to stop doing to yourself.

(1) Stop spending time with the people that are dishonest and bear double-standards. A leopard can’t change his spots; you better change your trajectory.

(2) Stop worrying way too much. Not just it would stud your face with premature wrinkles; it would also misbalance your body’s metabolism.

(3) Stop keeping yourself under self-imposed radar all the times. You have all the rights to fly freely.

(4) Stop judging everyone way too early, and too harshly. Be lenient. Allow generous benefits of doubt. People may behave bluntly as they are often too preoccupied with their problems.

(5) Stop living the alter-ego’s life. You suit best when you fit in the shoes of your own life; its OK to emulate someone you cherish, but then you have to draw the differentiating line somewhere in between.

(6) Stop harming yourself. Kick the butt. Don’t do drugs. Bravery induced by heavy drinking is a mirage. Exercise. Don’t overeat. Don’t overstress. Stay happy.

(7) Stop keeping grudges. Forgiveness can bless you with some of the most cherished relationships in the years to come. Everyone makes mistakes; its best to shoot the breeze and bury the hatchets.

(8) Stop being the Perfectionist Personified. Mistakes have their own charm; and everyone has a distinct learning curve. Sydney or the bush phenomenon is unpractical; things lie somewhere in between.

(9) Stop neglecting the beautiful moments. Stand beneath the lamp post in twilight and see the golden shoots of grass swaying insanely. Get flown in high tide as if you defy the gravity. Talk with the moon. Smell a fresh daisy flower.

(10) Stop expecting too much from others. Give the people their elbow rooms. Burdens of expectations have full potential of hijacking the pleasures from a relationship. Accept your folks in their own face values. Stop being a cynic critic.
