DON'T CRITICIZE OTHERS ,THEY MAY BE RIGHT. By jyotikakkar(who lives for today).

While discussing a subject, everybody seems to give his/her own opinion and does not agree with another person's opinion. Then why we discuss? If we are not ready to give a thought to another opinion we should go ahead with our own thinking. and should not criticize others.

Discussions are important only when we are prepared to accept that we can also be wrong.

Reasons to upset us are always there. It is up to us how we handle the situation. If we can ignore them then fine but if we want to clarify or start putting forth only our point, remember it is of no use. Nobody is ready to accept that he/she can be wrong. So we should live in our own way but don't let others down. They may also be right.

take care of your bones(A column fr an english daily)

strong skeletal frame is vital not only to provide structure to the body but also protect the internal organs and anchor the muscles.

Apart from this, a healthy set of bones is crucial for good posture, balance and strength. Now the two key nutrients responsible for developing healthy strong bones are calcium and phosphorus. Smaller amounts of other nutrients like vitamins, proteins and minerals are also important for healthy bones.

The process of developing healthy bones begins at birth. However, it is important that a healthy, bone-friendly diet programme is maintained all throughout the life. This becomes particularly important after about 30 years of age.

You of course have the option of going for calcium supplements (but do consult a doctor before you do that), you can also try some calcium-rich foods to make up for the deficiency of calcium and keeping the bones healthy. Below, we discuss five super foods which can help you boost your bone density at any age:

Milk

Without a shadow of doubt, milk is the best (and readily available) source of calcium required for proper bone growth. According to the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), low fat or fat-free milk is the best choice as it has high calcium content without the added fat and this facilitates easy absorption of calcium by the body. And it's not just calcium. Milk is also rich in nutrients like potassium, magnesium, riboflavin, phosphorus and Vitamins D, A and B12, all of which are important for healthy bones.

Orange Juice

Oranges are packed with essential nutrients like vitamins, minerals and calcium. They are a must-have for healthy bone growth. They can be especially used by individuals who have intolerance to lactose and cannot obtain their daily calcium requirements from dairy products. So next time you help yourself with a serving of fruits, make sure you have enough oranges in that.

Dairy Products

Many experts have designated dairy products like cheese and yogurt as preferred source of calcium due to their high calcium levels. In case you are lactose intolerant, you can also opt for other dairy products that are either lactose-free or have low levels of lactose. Yogurt is contains a chemical called lactoferrin which an iron-binding protein which promotes the growth and activity of osteoblasts (the cells that build bones).

Nuts and Seeds

Besides being rich in calcium, nuts like walnuts, flaxseeds, almonds, pistachios etc are also very good sources of minerals and omega 3 fatty acids. Peanuts and calcium contain potassium which prevents loss of calcium in urine.

Greens

Dark green leafy veggies like brocolli and spinach are great sources of calcium and vitamin D and it's the latter which helps in absorption of Calcium and Phosphorus, thereby ensuring growth of healthy bones and teeth. Collards and turnip greens can also be helpful in providing you with your daily dose of calcium. The alkaline effect of eating a diet rich in these vegetables will help you to strengthen your bones and promote bone growth by preventing calcium loss. Besides, plant sterols (steroid hormones) are converted to a hormone called calciferol and that aids calcium absorption. (MensXP.com)

Think proactive act proactive

Doon youth club conducts classes to make us realize about our behaviour.

What I understood am sharing here.

We respond to any situation or matter of dispute in two ways. Sometimes it is proactive response and sometimes it is reactive.

First lets know what is reactive and what is proactive.

1-Reactive response-negative feelings,lose-lose situation ,weak, looser and so on.

2-Proactive response- positive feelings, powerful,win-win situation,empowered,winner and so on.

Your best proactive advisor-“self only”

You cannot hold on to any relationship without being proactive.

Prepares one to be assertive NOT aggressive while interacting with others.

It is a life changing concept.

Enables one to say “NO”, essential aspect of assertive response.

Transform knowledge to skill through practice.

It expands your circle of influence .This is the most rewarding experience.

Proactive response means one is prepared to deal with negatives.

Now it is the time for you to choose between the two ways. One which has positive consequences and other which has negative- short & long term.

Remember you will never fight with a pig.If you do you will get dirty and the pig enjoys it.

THIS IS ME!

MY WEAKNESSES MAKE ME INFERIOR SO I LEAVE THEM BEHIND AND MOVE FORWARD WITH MY STRENGTH.
