Give your 100%

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised. That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn't sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

Moral of the story: If you don't give your hundred percent in a relationship, you'll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent.. This is applicable for any relationship like love, employer-employee relationship etc., Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully. Credit is given to Waruna fwd mail.

About me: have i ever given sb my 100% of anything? Well, i don't know. Yet i think m guilty of myself of getting mad when i think i already give my 100%, yet the receiver makes me feel that my 100% means 0%. However, it is good to give rather never. (s.times i am so mean that i really don't want to give out even 1%. It totally depends on the circumstances or the receiver. Guilty...sigh)

mind mapping

Source: Student Accountant, Aug 08

1 Magic maps
Mind maps are diagrams which help you organise your thoughts visually – portraying words, facts or things to do, helping solve problems, write essays, and store and recall pieces of information. Linking words and ideas in a loose, circular format around major themes, and then into sub-groups, is effective because the brain works by association. Experts say mind mapping makes information easier to remember and makes studying more enjoyable.
 
2 In class
Mind mapping has applications beyond simply revising. Many students use them when listening in lectures, as an abbreviated form of notes, and say it helps them to focus on only the most important ideas, without having to write down every single word. After the lecture, the graphical form of the mind map will aid recall when writing up more formal notes for future revision – as your brain has ‘photographed’ the image produced, and linked the image to what you have heard.
 
3 Map making
To construct a mind map, take a blank, landscape piece of paper (the larger the better) and start in the centre, writing your central theme (eg ‘ethics’) in capitals – but without boxing it in (the idea is that the word forms its own shape). Let your mind wander, allowing the image to stimulate associations. Use lower case as you branch out and link up more words. As new ideas appear, permit yourself to start new ‘branches’ even if you haven’t completed others – you can always go back.
