In YOUR Pursuit of Happiness

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , , Friday, October 15, 2010 9:02 AM

It can be such a wonder how it's fate for some people to end up with what they want in life.

For some, it is wealth, for others it is reaching career goals, for some it is lifetime partnership...
For me, I sum it all up as HAPPINESS.

Is everyone entitled to the fate of achieving happiness?  The answer is yes.

I think it's a matter of effort -- and perhaps a bit of luck.  But then again, luck is simply keeping your eyes open for opportunities and grabbing them before someone else does.

So generally, lucky people are just those who look around more often than others and move quicker than others.

Happiness may not be just a glance away since it will require so much effort on your part to achieve it, but you have the edge now because you now know that you make your own fate to be happy; and happiness always starts within you.

The Best of Both Worlds

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , , , Tuesday, October 12, 2010 3:21 PM

It's lovely to see modern day skyscrapers with blooming flowers altogether...it's simply the best of both worlds.  Who would have thought that one could find a blooming garden amidst a busy metropolitan area.

A shot of Downtown Dallas from the Flower Market is one sight that is what I can call -- surreal.

Love it!

Married Couple -- Gerbil Style

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , , , Friday, October 1, 2010 12:45 AM



smile for the camera! Originally uploaded by Issy`

These two gerbils are so -- human.


Reminds me of a married couple.   And yes, the cheerful, joyous one must be the wife -- while the somewhat grouchy, I-haven't-had-enough-sleep-today is probably the mister.


The camera sure clicked at the right second. :)

Southern Right Whales in these areas haven't seen humans before and were very curious. :)


The whale is basically 14 meters long and weighs about 70 tons...


Amazing!

Finger Length Determines Intelligence -- Which One are You?

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , , Wednesday, September 29, 2010 4:12 AM

Have you always been a math wizard?  Or have you always hated math so much?


Here's a new discovery: the length of  your index and ring fingers are correlative to your mental abilities.

So basically, try to see which of your fingers are longer -- index finger or ring finger?

Findings: 
Those whose index fingers are longer than their ring fingers are good in language, arts, and talking.  While those whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are good in math and logic.

This was based on study of finger length in relation to SAT exam scores in England where a significant correlation between finger length and intelligence has been discovered.

A Brief Explanation

Hormones (testosterone and estrogen) influences the length of the fingers of the fetus in the womb.  Testosterones lengthen the ring finger, thus making the individual good in math, spatial functions, and logic.  Estrogen, on the other hand, lengthens the index finger, thus strengthening the individual's verbal and language skills.  

So it does make sense since women are significantly more talkative than men, and men are better in directions, and math than most women. 

 Now I know why math never loved me, and why I never learned to love math.  It's a closed case now.  (I used to think I was just not smart enough) :)

How about you? Which is longer, your ring finger or your index finger?

Which Can You Say More Accurately: the Color or the Words?

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , Friday, September 24, 2010 3:17 AM

Which is easier for you?


Saying the colors and getting it accurately, or saying the words and getting it accurately?


The right side of your brain is trying to say the colors while the left side of your brain is trying to say the words.

Fascinating how the mind works.

In my case, I can see the colors first, but I can say the words more accurately.  How about you?

Failing – It’s Normal, So What???

Posted by Little Miss Scribbler , Labels: , , Saturday, September 18, 2010 3:23 AM


If you haven't failed, there's something seriously wrong with you. Now that sounds good, doesn't it? If you have failed at least once, congratulations! Welcome to the club! If you have failed, so what??? The thing that you should be concerned about is what you did after you failed.
If there's one thing man hates, it's not someone who's perfect; but it's his own failure.
You may or may not be aware of it, as much as you may or may not admit it, but failing, especially if you have tried your best, is the greatest de-motivator of all.

Failure is the ultimate ego crusher; the element that sucks out the brightness of the world.But then again,

"Nobody is Perfect" à not even fairytale princesses.

So the next time you feel bad about failing or those little failures, think about it this way:
 
You're better off laughing it off and making the best out of your day. J

Remember, everybody fails... and winners are failures who tried again, while losers are failures who never got the nerve to give it another shot.
