Ever since I was young, I have always been a deep intellectual type of person. And when I get down in life, I always find strength in songs, quotes, articles, movies, etc. Because I learned at a early age that life is tough. And if you let it, the world will knock you down and break your spirit if you let. But quitting is never a option. That’s why you have to find that inner strength to not only stay the course, but also keep getting stronger and wiser. And never give up. Believe me, it always gets better in time. And now being a grown man that is a very big spiritual person, I also love to gain and share knowledge not just for myself, but others as well. And that’s why I started this forum. So I can try to help make this world a better place to live in for all of us. Plus I also enjoy hearing other people’s perspectives on life. You always hear something that makes you look at things in a different light.

 To the memory of my parent  My Mother... Sea waves, golden sand, pilgrims’ faith, Rameswaram¹ Mosque Street, all merge into one, My Mother! You come to me like heaven’s caring arms. I remember the war days when life was challenge and toil— Miles to walk, hours before sunrise, Walking to take lessons from the saintly teacher near the temple. Again miles to the Arab teaching school, Climb sandy hills to Railway Station Road, Collect, distribute newspapers to temple city citizens, Few hours after sunrise, going to school. Evening, business time before study at night. All this pain of a young boy, My Mother you transformed into pious strength With kneeling and bowing five times For the Grace of the Almighty only, My Mother. Your strong piety is your children’s strength, You always shared your best with whoever needed the most, You always gave, and gave with faith in Him. I still remember the day when I was ten, Sleeping on your lap to the envy of my elder brothers and sisters ...

If monkeys could speak, what kind of relationship would humans have with them? They would be our slaves and they would be everywhere, in all areas of society. There is zero doubt about it. If humans are capable of enslaving other humans and reducing them to the level of “inhuman animals,” imagine what we’d do to  actual  nonhuman animals that were capable of understanding complex commands. We already use animals intelligent as slaves in a wide variety of ways, up to their limit of capability.

How do you identify a smart person in 3 minutes? For what? Let me ask you a question, Who wins in a race between a cheetah, human, horse and wolf? Quite a few will hazard a guess that it is cheetah as since childhood we have been told this ‘Cheetah is the fastest animal’ fact. However, Cheetah wins only if it is a short distance sprint like 100 m race.  Cheetah has poor endurance and limited stamina. It is not built for long distance races or marathons. And coming to the long distance race, If the temperature is low,  wolf wins, followed by horse. And if the temperature is high,  human wins, followed by horse [1] . Just like that answer, Smartness derives its ultimate value from where you want to use it. You want to find that smartest person to send him to a quiz show, or put him on a short-term project with high-end results, or want him to solve a world’s problem or just do what you say on time? The person who is best-fit for one may not get you an equally amazing result...

 What are some basic truths about human psychology? People with creative minds tend to have a harder time falling asleep at night, they prefer to stay up later. We forget 90% of our dreams within the first 10 minutes of waking up. A person who becomes angry easily, often over silly things subconsciously desires to be loved. Listen carefully to how a person speaks about others to you. This is exactly how they speak about you to others. People who easily get distracted are more creative and tend to have more IQ. Nearly 40% of men don't feel confident while meeting women for the first time. When you fall asleep while over thinking, the mind remains active as if you were awake which is why you tend to wake up tired. People with low self-esteem tend to persecute, bully or humiliate others. The person who brings out the best in you and makes you strong, is actually your weakness. If a person cannot cry, it means he/she is too weak. You are more likely to be easily attracted to someone yo...
