How to Save Your Energy for Things That Matter: "
Albert Einstein, one of the greatest minds to ever live, chose purposefully not to even memorize his own telephone number. He obviously had enough brain capacity to memorize a short series of numbers, but still, he chose not to. He viewed memorizing these digits as a waste of precious life energy.
Instead, he used this energy to memorize more important things, which lead to revolutionary accomplishments in the field of Physics.
The same principles of energy that Einstein acknowledged, apply to us. It is easiest to see the effects of this energy in extreme situations. If we are deprived of food for too long, our bodies won't have enough energy left to perform physical tasks. If we don't sleep for two days straight, we won't have enough energy to partake in a meaningful conversation. Not eating, or not sleeping will drain us of our energy reserves. We all understand this because it's common sense.
But there are also many other negative habits, which we simply aren't aware of - slowly robbing us of any extra energy we might have. These habits include: overeating, long hours in front of the TV, compulsive complaining, etc.
If you want to get something great done in your life, you must first be able to adopt habits that preserve your energy, and free yourself of habits that waste it.
The good news is that, there are simple practices that allow us to preserve this vital life energy inside of us.

- Quieting the Mind
Did you know that your brain uses the largest amount of energy compared to any other organ in your body? Some of our mental work is unavoidable and necessary for us to function. We don't want to get rid of all of it just because it would save us energy.
But what about all the worrying, complaining, and resisting that we use our minds for? This, of course, is all pointless mental work that should be avoided as much as possible. When you notice your mind going in this direction. Stop. Take a deep breath, and observe your mind slowing down.
Repeat this process for as long as you need to. (It wouldn't be a bad idea to make meditation into a daily practice either.) - Proper Nutrition
By Proper Nutrition I don't mean eating enough to survive. All of us, who are fortunate enough to be able to read this post online, have access to all of the food we could ever dream of.
What I mean by Proper Nutrition is eating the types of foods that are optimal for your body, the types of foods that keep us energized longer than a Big Mac can. The food you eat is supposed to energize you, not force you to take a 30-minute nap afterwards.
There is plenty of good information available on nutrition, just be aware of the 'Get Slim Quick Schemes'. Begin moving towards a diet that gives you long-term health benefits. Just keep in mind, the diet that is the healthiest for your body will also be the most beneficial for your energy levels. - Take a Break
The benefits of getting a good night's sleep are well known - so instead, I want to reintroduce an often overlooked idea, that offers similar benefits for managing your energy resources: the idea of taking breaks.
Try to remember yourself as a kid in school. How energized did you feel, every single time, after you returned back inside from recess? You came back to class as a new kid, right? Are you taking breaks as a grown-up now that there's no one forcing you to? No, I bet not. - Jog, Walk, or Crawl
The benefits of exercise are tremendous. Not only is exercise vital for good health, it's also important for staying energized throughout the day. It still continues to amaze me how much better I feel after any kind of physical exercise.
If you can't jog, go for a walk. If you can't walk, go crawl. It does not matter what you do, just get your body moving. - Socialize
Being alone, locked up in your apartment, is no way to live life. If you've been there you know what I mean.
Meeting up with a friend or family member has an almost magical power of bringing you back to life. You feel invigorated and energized once again, and you begin wondering why you didn't arrange to meet up earlier.

Is this brilliant or stupid? Or is the brilliance such that it is indistinguishable from stupidity? Should we force Alex to grow one? Let us ponder these issues.

This is really cute! Etsy seller PlaidPigeon modified plastic dinosaur toys so that they’d serve as planters. This one is Rick the Dilophosaurus with a Zebra Haworthia Succulent growing in his back.

Since Law & Order was nowhere to be found at 5AM, I watched the guests arrive for the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. The women’s hats reminded me of the Kentucky Derby crowd, only more so! The one that is destined to become an internet meme was worn by Princess Beatrice, shown here on the right. Buzzfeed compiled a list of the most notable hats worn at the royal wedding.

Possibly you’ve seen this strange picture of President Obama and his wife Michelle holding hands -with an extra hand. Many people assumed the picture was the victim of Photoshop, but Chicago Tribune photojournalist Alex Garcia has posted an explanation and the rest of the photo sequence. Link -via The Daily What

Well, we do walk the dog, and some people even walk the cat. So why not walk the fish? 
I Guess “Walk” is not appropriate this time though…

ఒక వ్యక్తి కొత్తగా హోటల్ లోకి దిగాడు.-
రూమ్ లోకి రాగానే కంప్యూటర్ కనిపించింది. భార్యకి ఈ-మెయిల్ పంపించాలనుకున్నాడు. కానీ తొందర్లో చూసుకోకుండా తప్పుడు ఈ-మెయిల్ అడ్రసుకి పంపించేశాడు.
కట్ చేస్తే ఎక్కడో మరో చోట భర్త కోల్పోయిన ఒక స్త్రీ స్మశానం నుంచి అప్పుడే తిరిగి వచ్చింది. కొద్ది సేపు విశ్రాంతి తీసుకున్న తర్వాత తనకు సంతాప సందేశాలు వచ్చి ఉంటాయేమోనని ఈ-మెయిల్ ఖాతా తెరిచింది. వాటిలో ఒక మెయిల్ చూడగానే కళ్ళు తిరిగి పడిపోయింది.- ఆ శబ్దం వినగానే ఆమె కొడుకు కంప్యూటర్ దగ్గరికి వచ్చి చూశాడు. ఆ ఈ-మెయిల్ సారాంశం.
ప్రియమైన భార్యామణీ!-
విషయం: నేను చేరుకున్నాను.
తేది:10th ఆగస్ట్, 2009
నేను ఇంత తొందరగా మెయిల్ చేస్తున్నందుకు నీకు ఆశ్చర్యంగా ఉండచ్చు. మన ప్రియమైన వాళ్ళకు ఈ-మెయిళ్ళు పంపుకునేందుకు వీలుగా ఇప్పుడిక్కడ కంప్యూటర్లు కూడా పెట్టారోయ్!
ఇప్పుడే చేరుకుని లోపలికి చెక్-ఇన్ అయ్యాను. రేపు నువ్విక్కడికి చేరుకునేందుకు అన్ని ఏర్పాట్లూ చేస్తాను. నీ కోసం కళ్ళు కాయలు కాచేలా ఎదురు చూస్తుంటాను. నీ ప్రయాణం కూడా నా ప్రయాణం లానే సుఖంగా జరగాలని ఆ దేవుడిని ప్రార్థిస్తూ-…
నీ ముద్దుల రేడు-xxxxxxxxx-
నచ్చితే నలుగురికి చెప్పండి...నచ్చక పొతే వదిలి పడేయండి ....!
