How to think?
My Mind. My Thoughts. Thinking how to think?
Your mind is a powerful tool. It has the unmatched ability to create and / or to destroy the potential in you. The question or tactic of learning how to think, remains to be an incomplete mystery to every human being, till date. Even so, there are simple ways to get your mind at work, effectively and efficiently to produce practically expected results.
Here we are today to help facilitate you in thinking about 'how to think'!
Let us believe that everyone is uniquely designed to work in ways that are differently productive than
the other. Read on to know more about learning on how to think-
Develop thoughts.
Put your ideas together. Form a combination of what you think. Try to compose your thoughts and organise them mentally. Imagine and create a sequence of your thoughts. Get used to 'changing and adapting'. Improvisation is a boon. Construct your thoughts according to your situational need.
Jot the purpose.
Attach a tag to what ever you think - 'purpose?'. Find a purpose for each imagination. Purpose has to be built-in, to give birth to something valuable, useful and worthwhile with your thoughts. Define your purposes when you think. Ask questions. Investigate why you're thinking about what you're thinking. Avoid to begin thinking without any purpose.
Examine.
Categorise your ideas into different sections of the situation. By examining, you're being careful to locate the need of relevance. Discover the contrast. Determine the idea and the connection between ideas. There's no time for inappropriate thoughts.
Edit.
Proof-read your thoughts. Differentiate between the need and other stand-by elements. Justify your thoughts with accurate information. Be your own critic. Rate yourself with principles or values. Make judgments based on priority and time. Validate your imaginations before you convert it into actions or words.
Understand and Remember.
Simplify your ideas. Keep it as simple as you can understand it. It must make sense to you though. Get the meaning straight. Check if your understanding matches with the purpose of the act. Remember it by naming, matching, choosing and so on. Illustrate what you understand, may be with facts and examples. On a longer term, you must be able to remember and interpret your thoughts on your own.
Application.
Thoughts rot in your brains if they're left alone. Apply. Take it an extra mile to bring life into it. Practice, Plan and Participate. Process your thoughts into actions. Use and develop your capacity to think better. Progress in application. Healthy and positive growth by thinking, would be much required in the modernised society. So, gear up.
Learning Beyond Education. Seeking Life.
Learning Beyond Education. Seeking Life.
There is an age old saying in Sanskrit language, 'Vidyaya-amritam-ashnute', which means wisdom provides immortality. A holistic growth of a person calls for knowledge beyond mere books or even systematic educational structures. Learning values and principles beyond education holds the key to moral living. It is an essential portion of a learner's journey in seeking knowledge and seeking life.
In observing an individual's 'cycle of learning', there has been a moral vacuum created in the process of giving emphasis to attaining knowledge and cultivation of occupational skills.
By being advanced or developed in every sphere of human existence, one may gradually cease to give light on moral growth and contribution. The number of educational institutions may have considerably increased, whereas the quality lags behind miserably still. Although there is an increase in the number of educated people around, social evil still persists and hovers over many parts of our modern society.
How be it, there is hope still.
Moral education inculcates a sense of oneness and cooperation among people. More than learning about different subjects, ideologies and theories in schools and colleges, it is timely essential to build the respect and reverence on moral and ethical values of life in a systematic manner. The educational process with moral value is very humanizing in nature. In general, the elements of equality, freedom, human rights, social justice, and dignity of the individual would play a vital role in shaping up democratic qualities.
Living in a diverse cultural atmosphere, there is an absolute need for effective value education, to curb anti-social elements such as casteism, behavioural disorder, lack of unity, violent activities, murder, hatred, selfishness and so on. Perhaps, upliftment of the weaker and oppressed sections of the society can happen only when we raise the standards of value-based educational system in the country.
"There is a part of a child's soul that has always been unknown but which must be known. With a spirit of sacrifice and enthusiasm we must go in search like those who Travel to foreign lands and tear up mountains in their search for hidden gold. This is what the adults must do who seeks the unknown factor that lies hidden in the depths of a child's soul. This is a labor in which all must share, without distinction of nation, race, or social standing since it means the bringing forth of an indispensable element for the moral progress of mankind." - Maria Montessori
Applying right principles into every system of society like Family, Government/Law, Education, Communications/Media, Economics(includes Science, Technology, Business), Religion, Arts & Entertainment; will be highly influential enough to create an order and to establish healthy and incorruptible lifestyle in the present world and the future to come.
Knowledge must confer to an overall development of an individual and enable chiseling of spiritual, mental, emotional, intellectual and physical aspects of one's existence. A balanced life is what we can call it. Educators around the globe can imbibe universal ideals of respect, non-violence, love and forgiveness, peace and tolerance, co-existence and effective communication, and share it with the students or learners around.

Drink Coffee for a healthy heart
A
cup of coffee may keep your heart healthy by improving blood flow,
says a study.
A
study on 27 healthy adults showed for the first time that drinking a
cup of caffeinated coffee significantly improved blood flow in a
finger, which is a measure of how well the inner lining of the body's
smaller blood vessels work.
The
research was presented at the American Heart Association's Scientific
Sessions 2013.
Specifically,
participants who drank a cup of caffeinated coffee had a 30 percent
increase in blood flow over a 75-minute period compared to those who
drank decaffeinated coffee.
'This
gives us a clue about how coffee may help improve cardiovascular
health,' said Masato Tsutsui, M.D., Ph.D., lead researcher and
cardiologist and professor in the pharmacology department at the
University of the Ryukyus in Okinawa, Japan.
The
study adds to a growing body of research about coffee, the most
widely consumed beverage worldwide. Previous studies showed that
drinking coffee is linked to lower risks of dying from heart disease
and stroke, and that high doses of caffeine may improve the function
of larger arteries, reports the Science Daily.
