CREATING PERFECT RELATIONSHIPS?

2008-04-05T01:22:00.000-07:00

A good moral story.

A person visited the government matchmaker for marriage, SDU, and requested "I am looking for a spouse. Please help me to find a suitable one." The SDU officer said, "Your requirements, please." "Oh, good looking, polite, humorous , sporty, knowledgeable, good in singing and dancing. Willing to accompany me the whole day at home during my
leisure hour, if I don't go out. Telling me interesting stories when I need companion for conversation and be silent when I want to rest." The officer listened carefully and replied, "I understand you need television."

There is a saying that a perfect match can only be found between a blind wife and a deaf husband ,because the blind wife cannot see the faults of the husband and the deaf husband cannot hear the nagging of the wife. Many couples are blind and deaf at the courting stage and dream of perpetual perfect relationship. Unfortunately, when the excitement of love wears off, they wake up and discover that marriage is not a bed of roses. The nightmare begins.

How can we determine a life lived to its full potential?

2008-02-10T00:07:00.000-08:00

I have always thought that life should be meaningful. Not necessarily every moment of every day. I mean, how meaningful is it doing laundry? Nor should life always be serious. We all need extremely large doses of just having a good time!

But life has to be more than pleasure-seeking, partly because the enjoyment doesn't last. It's here for a moment, then gone.If there is no larger meaning to life...then life is without a driving force, without overall substance or explanation.

"Every human being is one—no matter who you are, how you are, where you’re from. Even in pain or happiness, you’re one. You’ve come here as one and will have to leave, as well. In the life of each human being, there is the possibility to experience supreme joy. The greatest potential is the possibility of that joy in a human being’s life. When a human being is born, it is their opportunity to experience peace and joy, to fulfill this life. Everything else they can attain and let it go. But peace is one thing the human being can attain and hold onto. It is because of the calling of our heart that we want to complete our life, to capture what has been given. We can catch onto something that will be with us throughout our entire life that will support us.

Fulfill this life.

This is your life. It’s been given to you. What you do with it is completely up to you. You can throw it away or save it. You can attain joy and fulfill your life. Every day is precious, priceless. Will tomorrow come? Nobody knows. All we can do is hope it will. Every day that is given is a blessing. We talk about miracles. What is a miracle? When the sun rises, isn’t
that a miracle? The miracle is what is going on within you. The fact that you exist is a miracle. This life that comes day after day is a miracle. And when you start seeing that, your life will be filled with joy.

So if you want that, then accept it—not with blind faith, but from anexperience. Only through experience can a human being move forward and take the next step.The story is still being written—yours and mine. It’s not finished. What the ending will be like is up to us. If we want the story to be that this person understood the supreme joy, fulfilled their life, and spent their life in joy, then that story can be written. It’s up to us." - Maharaji

Life still has its ups and downs, its disappointments, and struggles. But what gives my life meaning and makes it so satisfying is the real fulfillment I've experienced in knowing Maharaji’s message.

How confident you are?

2008-02-09T22:40:00.000-08:00

Imagine how much your life and things in your life would improve with an increased belief in yourself. An increase in your confidence and self-esteem. I'd like you to take a moment right now and imagine yourself with more confidence and a greater respect for yourself. Imagine bringing that confidence in yourself to the workplace, feeling confident in your ability to get up and give a speech, to work towards the advancement or the pay raise that you know could be yours. Imagine having the confidence to meet new people, whether it's a new client or out on the dating scene.

When you were growing up or even now as an adult, has anyone ever told you:
"You are such a loser!"
"You will never amount to anything!"
"I can't believe how stupid you are!"
"Nobody wants you here, just leave.
"You can't do that, why even try."
"You are worthless just like your (mom/dad/sibling), they never amounted to anything either!"

If you have ever been told this or anything like this, you know what it is like to be without confidence and lacking self-esteem. You have taken all of this negativity and started believing in it. You believe you aren't worthy. You aren't good enough. That you can't do it.

All confidence and self-esteem issues arise because of the thoughts and feelings you have about yourself. Nearly all of these issues stem from something that has happened in your youth when you accepted these ideas into your mind regardless of whether they were true or not.

What is confidence?

The Oxford English Dictionary defines 'confidence' as being self-assured and feeling or showing self-reliance. You have a whole range of tools - strengths, skills, abilities and strategies - available to you which will enhance your confidence. But sometimes you may not be fully aware of them.
By becoming more aware of these tools and the ways in which you can apply them in the face of life's challenges, you can build your confidence.

Chandipur Beach in Orissa

2007-12-08T20:48:00.000-08:00

I had chance to visit chandipur beach. It was an amazing trip. I had seen many beaches in south side (poombukar, Nagapattinam, Velankanni, marina beach...etc).But Chandipur is a different one. It has its unique behavior while comparing to other beaches in the world. Really it was an unbelievable experience for me.

unique about the beach is that the sea water recedes about 5 kms during low tide and advances to the shore line again during high tide, each day.This gives one the opportunity to walk into its shallow depths.This peaceful beach resort with sand dunes green with wild creepers and Casuriana trees whistling in the breeze has a special charm.

We walked arond 2km inside the beach.We went around 4.30PM,On that time the sea water recedes inside.Look at the image how far the peoples are walking into the beach.

please look at the sand color in that beach.

Chandipur is an ideal beach resort of Orissa it is situated at a distance of 200 km from Cuttack and 230 km from Bhubaneswar.
How to go there
Air :- Nearest Airport is Bhubaneshwar, 214 km.
Rail :- Neelanchal Express, Puri-Howrah trains stop at Balasore, from where Chandipur is 16 kms. and is approachable by road.
Road :- Balasore (16 kms). NH5 links the town with Bhubaneswar in the south and Calcutta in the north.

PREM RAWAT FOUNDATION

2007-11-12T08:37:00.000-08:00

Prem Rawat, known also by the honorary title Maharaji, has traveled the world for more than four decades, inspiring people to find peace within.

His message is simple and profound. Speaking at the United Nations Conference Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, he expressed, “Peace needs to be in everyone’s life. Of all the things we have tried in this world, there is one thing we have never given a chance. That one thing is peace. If we want to hope for something, maybe we could hope in our heart that peace will come in our life. The peace we are looking for is within. It is in the heart, waiting to be felt. It is not the world that needs peace; it is people. When people in the world are at peace within, the world will be at peace.”

For those who wish to make peace a reality in their life, he offers inspiration and guidance. “What I offer people is not just talk,” he says, “but a way to go inside and savor the peace that is within.”

Born in India, he started addressing audiences at the age of three and gave his first published address when he was only four. At eight, he started presenting his message of peace throughout the Indian subcontinent. At thirteen, he was invited to speak in London and Los Angeles. Since then, more than 10 million people in over 250 cities and 50 countries around the world have come to him for inspiration and guidance.

The dissemination of his message, which is made available in more than 88 countries and 70 languages, is entirely supported by voluntary contributions and the sale of related materials. He supports himself and his family through independent means.

How is it that we, as individuals, lose peace?
Each one of us has an invisible thief that follows us wherever we go. What does the thief do? He robs us. Neither doors, nor locks, nor alarms can stop him. This thief does not take money or clothes. He robs us of the most valuable assets we have. He robs us of joy, peace, contentment. He robs us of understanding. He robs us of all those things that are much more important than anything else.
When we say, “I want peace in my life, but . . . I will pursue it later,” we give permission to this invisible thief to come in. This is his signal. All he has to hear is, “Not now,” and the thief says, “Here is someone I can rob, because he is not protecting his most valuable asset. He is squandering it. He is throwing it away.” And in that moment, we are robbed of what is most important to us.

Does everyone have an innate desire to seek and experience peace?
Within everyone there is something that yearns for peace. In times of total chaos, there is a yearning for peace. When there is mistrust, there is a yearning for trust. When we are in pain, something within seeks a glimmer of hope, of relief.
A human being needs love—to love and to feel love. The question is, what is going to be the source of that love? A human being needs to trust, but what is going to be the source of that trust? What can be trusted that is trustworthy, that will provide the support that is needed in one's life? Similarly, there is no doubt that a human being needs peace. In fact, there is very little anyone can do about that. This is a thirst that is innate to all human beings. The question is, what is going to be the source of that peace?

How does one come to understand the peace you are speaking of?
Peace is not necessary in the mind; it is necessary in the heart. The mind and intellect cannot capture peace. They have a different function.
Peace, joy, and true happiness are not subjects for thought. They can only be felt. There is a feeling behind being alive. There are no explanations for it. It is the feeling that one has to get to—because that is where there is comfort, that is where there is joy, that is where there is satisfaction. It is in that feeling that we need to live our lives. Somehow, we think that we need an explanation of what peace is, but peace cannot be explained; it can only be felt.
Fulfillment needs to be felt. When we are fulfilled, something inside of us says, “Yes, I am fulfilled.” For a thirsty person, not even a thousand pictures of other people drinking water will do any good. Only drinking water will do.

Objects relationship in oops

2007-11-10T22:43:00.000-08:00

In Object Oriented concepts there are two type relations which exists in between two objects.

1. IS A Relationship
2. HAS A Relationship

Inheritance and “is a”

We can understand this better by considering the “is a” idea

A subclass object “is a” superclass object.However, some extra instance variables and methods may have been added and some other methods may have been changed
Note that “is a” is a one way operation.Subclass “is a” superclass (specific "is a" general)With modifications / additions Superclass is NOT a subclass (general not "is a" specific Missing some properties
Ex: Bird “is a” Animal
Human “is a” Animal
Fish “is a” Animal

Bird, Human and Fish are all Animals
However, an Animal is not necessarily a Bird, Human or Fish

HAS A relationship

In OOP, Has-A relationships are relationships where one object contains, or controls another object. It is contrasted with an Is-A relationship.
Objects having Has-A relationships are models for composition, or an object being contained inside of the parent object.

Examples of Has a Relationships:
A Person object has-a(n) Address Object.

A Teacher Object has-a Student Object.
A Car Object has-a Tire Object.
A Document Object has-a Keyword or Tag Object.
Generically, an Object has-a DAO or Gateway Object
In these examples, you notice that the objects are not related in a parent-child type of relationship. They (typically) cannot respond to the same type of events or messages.
Contrast this with the Is-A relationship that are models for Inheritance.

Object Oriented Programming

2007-11-10T22:35:00.000-08:00

Object-Oriented Programming consists of 3 primary ideas:
Data Abstraction and Encapsulation
Operations on the data are considered to be part of the data type
We can understand and use a data type without knowing all of its implementation details.Neither how the data is represented nor how the operations are implemented
We just need to know the interface (or method headers) – how to “communicate” with the object Compare to functional abstraction with methods.
Inheritance
Properties of a data type can be passed down to a sub-type – we can build new types from old ones.We can build class hierarchies with many levels of inheritance
Polymorphism
Operations used with a variable are based on the class of the object being accessed, not the class of the variable.Parent type and sub-type objects can be accessed in a consistent way.
Constructors
These are special instance methods that are called when an object is first created.
They are the only methods that do not have a return value (not even void).
They are typically used to initialize the instance variables of an object.
Accessors
These methods are used to access the object in some way without changing it
Usually used to get information from it.
Mutators
Used to change the object in some way
Since the instance variables are usually private, we use mutators to change the object in a specified way without needing to know the instance variables
B.setCharAt(0, ‘j’); // B == “jello there”
B.delete(5,6); // B == “jello here”
B.insert(6, “is “); // B == “jello is here”;
These methods change the contents or properties of the StringBuffer object
