Travelling while young?

Ok, I'm going to start this off with a question : Is it better to travel while you are young?

 

No matter how I try to spin this, as with most decisions in life, there are positives and negatives. But, due to personal preference, I am firmly in favour of making that easy decision to take the leap, getting out of your comfort zone and explore the world and all its cultures, places and people.

There are so many different ways to go about it, too much for me to explain in this post (watch this space) but if you are granted the opportunity to live overseas, do it. 

 

Rather regret the things you've done than the things you didn't because you were scared of what MIGHT happen.

Lack of Motivation

What is it that motivates us?



What does it take to get us to follow something through to the end?

Whether your motive behind completing a task, making a decision or even doing nothing is financial, or something deeper, we all require some form of motivation for us to develop ourselves as individuals.

Next time you want to get that book read, assignment completed or even just focus long enough to know what you want from life, think about your decision, decide what you want, and split up your plan to get there into smaller more manageable tasks. This may not be enough though. It takes a little something extra to really achieve all that you want from life.

Half or full Brain.

Thoughts is what connect our minds but apparently not the opposite sexes. Scientist have

proven that woman uses the hole brain for any emotion action and men only uses half as much. This might not come as a surprise to you, since female do tend to over react according to men, wile men brush the situation of their shoulders.

The reason why men only uses half the brain for emotion is simple, so they can react calmingly in a dangerous situation for his family sake. Now my question is, why does the woman then uses twice as much? Is this just a obedience of opposite sex or does this actually give the men a reason to use the half of his brain to a response towards the female emotion.

8 glasses of water good or bad?

8 glasses of water good or bad?

Recently my colleagues and i decided to take on a challenge of drinking 8 glasses of water(approximately 2.4litres) per day. This all started by a simple statement made by myself that its childs play and not difficult at all. Thursday 5th december 2013 our challenge commenced but good grief was a task set way to high. 8 hours for 8 glasses, 5 hours in to the day and i was only at 3. My body started reacting really strange to this intake of water, by the 5th glass i could feel my nasal cavities starting to close up. I was experiencing a full on sinus attack, stomach started feeling uncomfortable and bladder just could not process the intake of water quick enough. By the end of the day i completed my 8 glasses of water but felt like i had none, migrane hit me as i got home and for the rest of the night just felt completely dry.

So my question is :
"Is glasses of water a good or a bad thing?"
"Was my body just not use to this massive intake of water and start act up?"

Social Networking

As time has passed, people have developed new ways in which they can interact with one another. The mediums for doing so have changed drastically over the last 2 centuries. From writing letters, to sending emails, to finally being able to use your smartphone as a permanent connection, technology has advanced so quickly, that it begs the question, what next?

With these changes in technology, comes the companies willing to take the initiative in developing the "next big thing". Microsoft, Apple, Google are among the names who have made massive profits from simple ideas that seemed so unbelievable just years before they became the norm.

My view is that we've pretty much hit the roof of the current generation of devices / applications and connections with which we communicate with other people. The current crop of innovative designers, programmers, etc are wearing thin. We need something new, something fresh, and more importantly, something to connect us in ways like never before.

So, what do you think will be the next big step?

Philosophical thought for the day

If a fly had no wings, would it be known as a walk?

DRB is back with a vengeance!

Daily random blogs is back and up and running! 2 new authors have joined so stay tuned for some good future posts :)

Facebook Status

Have you ever asked yourself why people post status updates? I mean if you wanted to know how people are doing surely you would've asked?

KFC

Why is it that whenever you go for fast food you always realise that the longest line is at KFC? What makes this place sooo popular? Apparently its not even chicken anymore. The worst part about it is that when you break open a piece of chicken you suddenly feel like you've found an oil well.....except its not the oil you were looking for. Im sure their recipe involves drowning the "chicken" in oil and then letting it soak in the oil for a few days. 1 Drumstick = 2 glasses of oil. The secret recipe of 11 herbs and spices surely involves at least 10 different oils. The reason its finger licking good is because you have to lick your fingers to stop the oil getting on your clothes. The colonel himself probably died from oil poisoning.

Yet the people feast...

Weekends

Why is it that we must work 5 days a week and can only rest 2 days? I mean those 5 days take forever to pass and when the weekend comes it disappears before you know it. What happened to finding the balance between work and play? On my scale 71.4% work outweighs 28.6% play every time. Im not sure what kind of scale the world uses. What's worse is that weekends are shorter than normal days. A Saturday is significantly shorter than a Monday, I feel cheated.

Making money online - My thoughts

Have you ever searched make money or something similar on google? You get about a billion results of people claiming to give you the best deals in the world like "invest $10 and earn $94023" and "buy this product now for $50 and make millions in profits" Now my mind tells me that there has to be a catch somewhere. Things like Google Adsense and Clickbank make a bit of sense but seriously, if we could make millions by investing $10 per person then i think we would've alleviated world poverty already. I mean the return is too massive to be true. If its such a good investment, why hasn't Donald Trump invested yet? I think there has got to be a scam or catch involved somewhere... and how much can you really make from these deals? If somethings costs u little, maby its worth a little....

Question for the day

Why is it that the moment you have to study or work, you get tired and your eyes start to hurt?

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly : 7 Pounds

The Good :

This movie has one of the best and most original storylines ever. It kept me guessing and trying to figure out what was going on right up until 15 min before the end and it never seems boring at any point. It never gives away the finish and has a better twist than the 6th sense. Will Smith is once again the perfect actor for this role bettering his stunning performance in Pursuit of Happiness. Will leave you with a tear in your eye. A must see.

The Bad :

Some people wont like the waiting for the story to pick up. Takes quite a while to get to a certain point

The Ugly :

The ending will keep you thinking for another hour.

Click for the 7 Pounds Theatrical trailer

Yes the trailer seems a bit boring but don't let it fool you. This is a very good movie.

Thought for the day

If its possible to get athletes foot, why cant we get athletes hand aswell?

Why are people so interested in celebs?

The one thing I cant understand is why in the world are we so interested in the lives of celebs? Angelina cant even give birth when the whole world wants to be in the delivery theatre getting a piece of the action... what action? Why do people want to put their noses where it doesn't belong? I wouldn't appreciate it if people were snooping around trying to get info on my life and im sure you wouldnt either. Its just not fair. Just because you are in the movie or some other industry doesn't mean your not entitled to your privacy. Everyone deserves a little privacy now and then.

Paparazzi are the worst. They walk around trying to get pics of celebs doing things that everyone else does but now its more glamourous because its a celeb. How does that make sense? Were not even so interested in the lives of our families. We go out of our way to find out the latest scandals and news of the celebs through gossips and tabloids but we're not even as interested in the lives of our families and friends. The news is especially juicy when it includes misfortune. Really now. Why cant we all just take interest in our own lives and leave those poor people alone?

Making Money online

For ordinary people money doesnt come easily and surely not in abundance.So for extra income some people resort to other means like the internet. Browsing google with anything close or similar to "making money online" brings up millions of pages claiming to offer you money online for little to no effort.Some are free and some require a small deposit. Schemes run from advertising to surveys to pyramid schemes and even to automated cash programs.

All of these sound good but in reality whos going to give you money for free? All of these require some work to be done. Whether you are writing articles,structuring things or taking time to give your opinion. Many websites do not tell you that your earnings are entirely up to your own effort. Nothing in life is free...especially money

So you can make a few bucks online...it is possible but how much depends on how much effort your willing to put in. The internet is open to everyone and this is a chance for anyone to make a few bucks or even become really succesful. Do not just read about the people who have done it..Try it for yourself and it just might work....

Stupid joke of the day

There's 2 muffins in an oven.

The first one says "My goodness it's hot in here!" And the other muffin replies "Oh my word!, a talking muffin!"

Stupid joke of the day

One day three guys were driving in the middle of nowhere when their car broke down.

They got out and looked around at their surroundings. Finally, the first guy says, "I'm gonna go look for some food." The other two guys say, "Why?". "So we can eat of course." says the first guy.
Once the first guy comes back the second guy says, "I'm going to go get some water". "Why" asked the other two. "So we can drink it if we get thirsty of course".

Once the second guy gets back the third guy goes and tears off the car door. "Whats that for?" asked the other two. " In case we get hot we can roll down the window."
