Kris My Dear You have to make sure Father has not to take Everything Like TV full time and Tablet  also not to take You for all the Time You have to be with Niklas and Hannah  and have to go to Work You have to make  Father understand the Limits and  His Boundaries It is very important for the Whole Family Niklas needs more Time than Father  Father My Dear Friend will understand Teens is that stage of Life when Life seems to be with full of Promises with all it's colors and with all the enjoyments When the whole World looks like a Playground and Emotions are bursting out so the energy enough to conquer the Whole World Not Their fault it is the age We also passed the same stage in our Life  We  also were taking this World in same perspective All colors all Beauty and No problems We had Dreams but difficult to channelize We were watching everything on a Big Screen but experiencing difficulty i...

Make Them Listen

Image
To My Dear Friends Parents & Teachers Kris My Dear Friend was saying that He gave 2 Hours lecture to Niklas which was not of any use as Niklas didn't listen Kris has to Yell to make Him listen still not worked out I was not surprised at all by all this This is a very common story of Everybody Home same thing between  Parents and Kids I have read a Book titled   " Listening " it was about 30 Years back but I still remember  Author emphasized Listening as a very important Skill and also that First Job depends 80 % on Listening I agree but how not any emphasis on the Art of how to make anybody to Listen  There is so much focus on the Art of Speech -- Speakers Forum and Courses about how to be a Good Speaker Nothing on how to make Someone to Listen I think the Word " Lecture "  is very repulsive Where the other Party is taken as a Hostage with no option just sitting there with Eyes open Ears...

Brain Versus Mind

Image
My Dear Retiree Friends were asking material for their subcommittees on Nutrition and Healthy Living I have written many of My Blogs on this Topic I believe that Mind -- Body --- Nutrition and Healthy Living all are in the same alignment  If We disturb the equilibrium of anyone of these Everything will be messed up  But here just keep one thing in Mind that Our Mind always takes the lead to set the direction  Mind is directed by our Thinking by Our Thoughts in our Brain Brain is the Store House our Storage I am thinking that Brain and Mind are two different  Brain releases filters out our Thoughts and gives to Mind to handle that Moment Mind is an obedient servant of our Brain like a Robot starts action takes our Body in the action Mode This action affects our Health that is Walking around -- Exercise -- Working doing certain things to get busy It also affects our Nutrition as Our Mind sets th...
