Are YOU causing the Recession??

The Recession is currently baad...No liquidity in the markets..here in India salaries havent been slashed as in the US and Europe..but you never know...better safe than sorry..right...so we should be saving up for that rainy day..are you thinking that?? then you are contributing to the recession as well...if your salary has been the same/or reduced by a bit..you cut down on your spending by a much significant percentage, that further is reducing the liquidity doesnt it? so if you have been wanting to buy that pair of puma shoes or if you're a little up on the heirarchy, you wanna go on that Euro trip..go ahead..plan it..you don have to cut down on al your plans..go ahead and execute some..right now our economy isnt as robust as it was due to the cascading effect of the situation in the US..but we dont want the recession to start happening domestically do we?the americans made a mistake by not saving up.we dont wanna make a mistake by doing jus the opposite..there is always the middle path..for once Paris Hilton is right(for more on this read her blog/blore times)..go ahead spend a little..help in wht ever we can to jump start the global economy

Cheers!!!!

The story of a Cigarette

This may not be true to some, but i think its largely true...since i have gone thru this i will share wht i feel about it...how does one start smoking...for me it was the peers...for most it is the same..i did not want to smoke..i just wanted to be able to take a puff and leave it out wid flourish..trying to do tat got me addicted..to fit in..along with everybody...it might hurt somebody's ego to accept tat but its true wid almost every smoker..once the smoking is started...i started associating smoking with different feelings..

"i am happy..lets celebrate and have a smoke "

"i am tensed...man i need a smoke"

"bugger i fought wid my girlfren..lets go have smoke"

etc etc etc

Wht happens is when u smoke, the tobacco makes ur brain release dopamine which is also released during sensations such as happiness,joy etc. so ppl might say that they smoke cuz it give them the feeling of happiness..NOT TRUE..

At first its cool...then u lik the buzz...but aftr sometim ur body gets adjusted to it..Damn no buzz anymore...only the first cigarette gets u the buzz..soon that doesnt happen anymore as well..then u stil cont smokin..why? cuz its the associations..

its lik some ppl write a diary not cuz they can express themseves but cuz everybody writes it...soon they jus report events rather than feelings which doesnt serve the purpose at al..

To quit you have to first stop the associations..the associations are already there..then replace them wid somethin else..

"i am happy...lets have beer/chocolate"

"i am sad..let me go pet my dog"

etc

those who wanna quit don have to fight so hard if your emotional support systems(read associations) are strong

So smokers if you do come across this post pls leave a comment regarding my theory

The SECRET

If you've read of the secret, I am sure u'l knw wht i am talkin about.. wht most of these ppl say is- you got to visualize and see it happening. I hve not consciously tried it yet but i hve noticed that whenever i am excited about somethin i do visualize it in my mind...longing for it..imagining every detail..but the more i do tat, the more likely it never happens... surprising considering i do all the visualization without planning to..whts going wrong..i've been pondering...may b i am just unlucky..but i have noticed it happen to many... may b thats why ppl say go without expectation..tho i very much agree with that as whtever u get is a bonus wid that attitude towards life...if you really want somethin..its allowed to expect it to happen/work...cuz thats faith..WHY DOES IT WORK THE OTHER WAY THEN?? my explanation to that is when u long for somethin and really excited and visualize..u are dreaming..feeling the emotions an al as reqd but ur stil longing for it..THE SECRET says that u got think it will happen..KNOW IT WILL HAPPEN...thats when the universe conspires to make it happen..if you have more insight into the descrepancy...pls comment
