Sleep well. A full night of sleep will help put you in a better mood. It will also give you energy to enjoy your activities.
Take a day off. If you have something planned for tomorrow that you are not looking forward to, try to cancel or postpone it. When avoiding your regular is impossible, plan ahead for a weekend or a day off by making your “tomorrow” a few days later than the next day.
Do something that you love. Spend some time with a favored activity, even if it is something that you have not done for a while.
Invite a friend or loved one to visit you. Have lunch with them, or watch a movie you both enjoy. Having a friend or loved one around can lift your spirits and make you feel good.
Eat healthy foods. Eating right will make your body feel better. That’s not to say that you can’t have your favourite foods, but make sure to incorporate fruits and veggies into your diet.
Think positively. Wake up and realize what an awesome day it is and how awesome you are!
Listen to a fast upbeat song, such as Jump or Tarzan Boy. It will put you in a good mood.
Seize the moment. Time is fleeting and there is nothing worse than a missed opportunity. Go for it!
Do something everyday that scares you! It helps you grow as a person, and makes you feel great afterwards! But don’t do something dangerous.

Nice lines by ryan adams

These very moments as they pass
It’s like you’re just dreaming of busting someone else
Hands they hold a candle to the pages
These days they go so fast
These days are ours

Follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If every second year is true
Our love is strong enough to guide the way we walk through
Hands inside of hands
Hearts inside of hearts
Like eyes closed
Side by side and through

Follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home

If everything we are is true
Our memories are attics in those houses on the hill
Our love is there above us holding everything so still
And we are always here
Yes we are always here

So follow the lights that line the streets
connecting telephones
Follow the lights from house to house
And they will lead you home
They will lead you home
Cause there was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
There was never anywhere to go
But home, home

Listen to the sound of your breath, then relax it

1. Listen to your life with your eyes closed
2. Listen to your words before you speak them
3. Listen to what you want - more of - in life
4. Listen to the sound of your breath, then relax it
5. Listen to your intuition. It’s always trying to grab your attention
6. Listen to what your body needs, right now. Put your thumbs in your ears, cover your eyes with your fingers and then listen
7. Listen thankfully to the sounds of nature
8. Listen for the wisdom in your problems
9. Listen more, talk less
10. Listen to your thoughts in slow motion. Are they bringing you closer to your dreams or taking you further away?
11. Listen to your life without the sound of technology and machines (no phone, TV, ipod etc)
12. Listen to silence
13. Listen to your favourite music
14. Listen, really listen to your children, family and friends
15. Listen to how many sounds are actually happening around you right now
16. Listen to the calming sounds of the ocean by cupping your hands over your ears and turning your awareness inwards
17. Listen to the sound of your favourite food cooking
18. Listen to your heart - What is it saying?
19. Listen to the sound of your feet when walking
20. Listen to the appreciation of your body after eating something healthy

Conciousness during the persuit of a big goal

Aiming high is good. Big goals are good. But when it comes to pursuit, small goals (that match your skill and challenge) must occupy your consciousness. Small goals have smaller sacrifices (like spending your time studying instead of watch your favorite TV show). Smaller sacrifices are within one’s skill/ability. Successful small sacrifices, gives one the confidence that the goal is achievable.

It is within one’s ability to be mindful of one’s smaller goal and be focused on putting effort towards the goal by seeing small efforts giving small results. These small results put together will one day look like the big goal that one set out to achieve.

Heaven and hell here in earth

Heaven and hell is not something that one experiences after death. It is something that is undergone or experienced here in earth. God doesn’t sit in heaven and decide if you are going to heaven or hell after you die. He sites in your conscience and delivers heaven or hell based on virtues and non-virtues that occupy your consciousness.

 

Virtues like honesty, love, forgiveness allow you to experience heaven manifesting as peace in each moment on earth. Non-virtues like cheating, egotism, anger take you into hell experienced as a heavy feeling or guilt.

ISO Sensitivity in digital cameras

ISO Sensitivity controls the amount of light that gets captured for photos taken. This is the same as the exposure rate in analog/film based cameras. In analog cameras the amount of light captured in the film is controlled by the duration of time the shutter is open for one click (exposure rate). In digital cameras, this is controlled by setting the ISO Sensitivity level of the cells that capture the incoming light upon click.

During bright light conditions, a lower ISO sensitivity is preferred and a higher sensitivity in dark conditions.

One brut way to find the cause of a regression change

Lets say we have N number of committed changes. A new defect surfaces. One brut way to find the cause of the defect is to revert the code to the point where the most dubious code change and see if the defect still arises. If it does, the most dubious code change or one of its successive commits are the culprits. If not, the most dubious code change is not the culprit.

Truth and honesty are the foundation in any relationship

All the covering up , the decet, its the lies that tear them (friends and family) apart. Truth and honesty are the foundation in any relationship otherwise what are you left with.

Its immaturity to see only the end result - the take away. Its maturity to see what went in.

In this age when it impossible to count on anyone what could be better than knowing that there is a guy who will always be there - October Road
