Are you stressed? "No! I'm not!!" If your reply comes with the exclamation marks, you are.  Are you drunk? No, I am not and this is often the expression of people who are drunk. Caution!  I wrote a previous article on stress and I attached the link for your easy reference.  http://gforce-guru.blogspot.com/2010/10/stress.html Do you feel like you have to do everything now? I mean NOW!!  Stress is a strange thing. Everyone needs some in order to improve, compete and achieve. Yet too much of it drives people's system out of order, make people sick, become irrational and spells trouble. Very often, you are too busy and so into it that you won't even know. For many of us the common retort is: "I have no choice".  Yet life is all about choices and one of life's great gifts is choice. Our hectic personal and professional life is I am afraid of our own choosing. Therefore, that particular fixed pattern of stress became...

A race car when spelled backwards is still a race car. Desserts spelled backwards is stress. Sometimes, a bit of stress is necessary to give us a little nudge, a push to excel, to achieve, to reach higher. However, nobody could tell us when it is suitable to allow stress from which age or to stop by when. Or how much stress is acceptable on a daily or weekly basis. I think in society today, we have many walking zombies. Some how some one may just go berserk anytime anywhere. If nobody kills anyone, then there could be implosions. State Of Mind We are constantly in a certain state of mind. When we are negative, we become pessimistic, moody, angry. Few people feel or acknowledge that they can control it and even fewer know that they can change it. If you can master altering your state of mind like a on/off switch, you are a master of you own destiny. Recently, I was at the car park when the parents of a young boy were having their hands full getting him into the car and he was i...

( Since my last publication till now, a total of 45 countries have visited. I welcome the latest friends and readers from Belgium, Israel, Italy, Slovenia and the Ukraine.) Next time you walk past a big tree take a look at its roots. Very often we see a small tree but down below the surface the roots can go a long way spreading deep and extensively throughout the ground and when you see a big tree you can imagine how much deeper and more extensive its reach. The roots can be so strong that sometimes it cracks up cemented ground and makes man-made path uneven. Much like an iceberg. What we often see is only the tip of the iceberg. Just like our teeth, when you go to the dentist in the old days, the place looked hard and cold. Throw in the stern look of the dentist and drilling sound, it was small wonder that most people fear the visit to the dentist. Even adults cringed. Besides, in the absence of high tech x-ray machines, they could only try their luck if i...

I was asked: "Do men look for other partners when their wife reached menopause". I have to ponder over it. Is this a sex question? A marriage question? A question of commitment or morals? Or simply just a trick question? I think more appropriately the question relates to "why do men stray?" Is it out of ignorance? Sometimes out of a question, bigger questions are begging. I also should not generalise and be more correct by saying "why do people cheat?" so that there is no gender-biased. Some people don't even have to wait till menopause. Such questions may be prompted when we see the things around us. Haven't you heard that "Women are from Venus and Men from Mars"? Men are physical while women are emotional. When men were boys they were mostly shy in fact they seem more inhibited than girls. So what became of them when they grew up? Most people know what they can or cannot do and because we have a built-in conscience, we too kno...
