Smoking: How to kick the habit
Smoking: How to kick the habit 
Smoking has been called a
"communicable disease"
” no one starts alone ”
and quitting could work the same way.
The new research shows that
the odds of success are even higher
if you know your fellow quitters well.
This makes intuitive sense:
quitting friends or family can presumably offer
each other motivation and support.
I suggests you
"grow your own group"
approach:
gather family members or friends
who want to give up.
NICO TINE REPLACEMENT
According to some reports,
nicotine replacement therapy
” using skin patches, chewing gum,
lozenges, nasal sprays or "inhalators"”
doubles your chances of success by reducing
the chemical need to smoke.
You usually need to use these products for 8-12 weeks
and they are available from
pharmacies or supermarkets.
PHARMACO THERAPY
 Prescription drugs
Zyban and Champix
(the newest one)
work by blocking the body's ability to absorb nicotine.
They are offered through GPs or no-smoking clinics,
along with psychological support.
Champix
is about three times more effective
than pure will power and
Zyban
twice as effective.
There can be side effects and the drugs
are not suitable for all.
Talk to your GP to know more about it.
 ALTERNATIVE THERAPIES
Many ex-smokers swear by alternative therapies,
most commonly hypnotherapy or acupuncture.
But,
"there is no definitive clinical evidence
from hard-nosed randomised controlled
trials that these work".
The same goes for most motivational books,
CDs or DVDs.
This does not mean that you
should avoid them though.
 "The key is to keep trying and trying again because,
even with the best pharmacotherapy and support,
hardly anyone quits for good first time."
 * Tobacco-related diseases
are some of the biggest killers in the world today
and are cited as one of the biggest causes
of premature death in industrialised countries.
* Indian government
is trying to deter people from smoking
with anti-smoking campaigns and Law in mass media
stressing the harmful long-term effects of smoking.
* Passive smoking, or secondhand smoking,
which affects people in the immediate vicinity of smokers,
is a major reason for the enforcement of smoking bans.
* This is a law
enforced to stop individuals smoking
in indoor public places, such as bars, pubs and restaurants.
The idea behind this is to discourage smoking
by making it more inconvenient,
and to stop harmful smoke being present in enclosed public spaces.
* Though nicotine is a highly addictive drug,
its effects on cognition are not as intense,
noticeable or debilitating as cannabis,
cocaine, amphetamines or any of the opiates.

Amazing Paradox!
Amazing Paradox!
Few centuries ago, a Law teacher came across a student who was willing to learn but as unable to pay the fees. The student struck a deal saying, "I will pay your fee the day I win my first case in the court".
Teacher agreed and proceeded with the law course. When the course was finished and teacher started pestering the student to pay up the fee, the student reminded him of the deal and pushed days. Fed up with this, the teacher decided to sue the student in the court of law and both of them decided to argue for themselves.
The teacher put forward his argument saying: "If I win this case, as per the court of law, the student has to pay me as the case is about his non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, student will still pay me because he would have won his first case. So either way I will have toget the money".
Equally brilliant student argued back saying: "If I win the case, as per the court of law, I don't have to pay anything to the teacher as the case is about my non-payment of dues. And if I lose the case, I don't have to pay him because I haven't won my first case yet. So either way, I am not going to pay the teacher anything". This is one of the greatest paradoxes ever recorded in history.

Your Daily Smile
A cat died and went to Heaven. God met her at the Pearly Gates, petted her on the head and said, "You have been a good cat for these 40 years. Anything that you want is yours for the asking."
The cat thought for a minute and replied, "All my life I have lived on a farm and slept on hard wooden floors. I would like a real fluffy pillowto sleep on.
God said, "Say no more." Instantly the cat had a huge, fluffy pillow.
A few days later, six mice were killed in an accident, and they all went to heaven together. God met them at the gates of Heaven with the same offer He made to the cat.
The mice said, "Well, all our lives we've had to run from dogs, cats and even people with brooms. If we could just have some little roller skates, we'd never have to run again."
God said, "It is done!" All the mice had beautiful little roller skates.
About a week later, God decided to check on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. God gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is everything okay? How have you been doing? Are you happy?"
The cat replied, "Oh, I've never been so happy in my life! My pillow is so fluffy, and those little meals-on-wheels you've been sending over here are delicious!"

Warm Wishes on Gandhi Jayanti...
Warm Wishes on Gandhi Jayanti..... 
Philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi in His Own Words:
I know the path. It is straight and narrow. It is like the edge of asword. I rejoice to walk on it. I weep when I slip. God"s word is: "Hewho strives never perishes." I have implicit faith in that promise.Though, therefore, from my weakness I fail a thousand times, I will notlose faith, but hope that I shall see the Light when the flesh has beenbrought under perfect subjection, as some day it must. Search for Truth :
I am but a seeker after Truth. I claim to have found a way to it. I claim to be
making a ceaseless effort to find it. But I admit that I have not yet
found it. To find Truth completely is to realize oneself and one"s
destiny, i.e., to become perfect. I am painfully conscious of my
imperfections, and therein lies all the strength I posses, because it
is a rare thing for a man to know his own limitations.
Guidance :
I claim to have no infallible guidance or inspiration. So far as my
experience goes, the claim to infallibility on the part of a human
being would be untenable, seeing that inspiration too can come only to
one who is free from the action of opposites, and it will be difficult
to judge on a given occasion whether the claim to freedom from pairs of
opposites is justified. The claim to infallibility would thus always be
a most dangerous claim to make. This, however, does not leave us
without any guidance whatsoever. The sum-total of the experience of the
world is available to us and would be for all time to come.
My Work :
I am content with the doing of the task in front of me. I do not worry
about the why and wherefore of things… Reason helps us to see that we
should not dabble in things we cannot fathom.

Develop A Clear Vision
Develop A Clear Vision By: Brian Tracy
The one quality that all leaders have in common is that they have a clear and exciting vision for the future. This is something that only the leader can do. Only the leader can think about the future and plan for the future each day.
Take the Time to Think
Excellent leaders take the time to think through and develop a clear picture of where they want the organization to be in one, three and five years. Leaders have the ability to communicate this vision in such a way that others "buy in" and eventually see the vision as belonging to them.
Motivate People to Give of Their Best
It is the vision of the future possibilities, of what can be, that arouses emotion and motivates people to give of their best. The most powerful vision is always qualitative, aimed at and described in terms of values and mission rather than quantitative, which is described in terms of money and numbers.
Money is Important
Of course, money is important, but the decision and commitment to "be the best in the business" is far more exciting.
Keep Your Cool
Another key to leadership success is for you to "keep your cool." A study at Stanford Business School examined the qualities that companies look for in promoting young managers toward senior executive positions, especially the position of Chief Executive Officer. The study concluded that the two most important qualities required for great success were, first, the ability to put together and function as part of a team. Since all work is ultimately done byteams, and the managers' output is the output of the team, the ability to select team members, set objectives, delegate responsibility and finally, get the job done, was central to success in management.
Practice is Everything
The second quality required for rapid promotion was found to be the ability to function well under pressure, and especially in a crisis. Keeping your cool in a crisis means to practice patience and self-control under difficult or disappointing circumstances.
People Are Watching
The character and quality of a leader is often demonstrated in these critical moments under fire, when everyone is watching, observing and privately taking notes. As Rudyard Kipling once said, "If you can keep your head when all around you are losing theirs and blaming it on you, then the world is yours and all that's in it".
Your job as a leader is to have a clear vision of where you want to go and then to keep your cool when things go wrong, as they surely will.
Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do immediately to put these ideas into
action:First, project forward 3-5 years and imagine your ideal future vision. What does it look like? What steps can you take immediately tobegin turning your future vision into your current reality?
Second, resolve in advance that, no matter what happens, you will remain calm and cool. You will not become upset or angry. You will take a deep breath and focus on the solution rather than on the problem.

Around the corner I have a friend,
In this great city that has no end,
Yet the days go by and weeks rush on,
And before I know it, a year is gone.
And I never see my old friends face,
For life is a swift and terrible race,
He knows I like him just as well,
As in the days when I rang his bell.
And he rang mine but we were younger then,
And now we are busy, tired men.
Tired of playing a foolish game,
Tired of trying to make a name.
'Tomorrow' I say! 'I will call on Jim
Just to show that I'm thinking of him.'
But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,
And distance between us grows and grows.
Around the corner, yet miles away,
'Here's a telegram sir,' 'Jim died today.'
And that's what we get and deserve in the end.
Around the corner, a vanished friend.
Remember to always say what you mean.
If you love someone, tell them.
Because when you decide that it is the
right time it might be too late.
Seize the day. Never have regrets.
And most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped
make you the person that you are today.
SMILE, even through your tears!!!!!
