Yes! I am crazy and you should be too | Here’s why!

I Don’t Need a Reason to be Good with You | Here’s Why!

Which day will you consider the most memorable day of your life? Mine is the day when for the first time, I saw her and everything around me slowed down. From that day to today, we have travelled a long path, hand in hand. She’s that crazy creature that one keeps looking for his whole life, but I guess I am lucky. Sometimes we sit together when she asks me the questions, questions that are from the other world whose answers are many times sources of my inspiration. Just another day she asked me why do I care for her? It’s like asking the sun, why do you shine? I was like, it’s my duty.

But actually, I don’t have a true answer to her question. Eventually, I also don’t need one. That’s what I need to tell her and a lot of other people who stand beside me whenever I need them. The reason is that I and everyone on this planet have no need for a reason to be good with anyone who is humble, kind and human.  The same support and happiness that they give me, I am giving them back in the form of love & caring; they deserve it.

Here, I want to request everyone reading this to STOP finding a reason for anything you want to do. You don’t need a reason to care, share and live or to follow your dreams, doing what makes you feel good and living a life that isn’t the same as anyone else’s. You should do the things you know only you can do, no matter if there’s a reason or profit behind it until it makes you feel… good.

This emptiness and lack of reasons are what I call Life and this gives us a reason for our existence. We are born to do stuff without finding a reason other than feeling great to do and if you are still confused, think the reason (if you have any) for which you started reading this article. That’s what life is about the reason you do anything doesn’t remain the same after it’s done.

Who Do We Fall In Love With?

Just whenever I start to write about topics like love, life & happiness, her face pops us into my mind from nowhere which made me think that why she’s the one and no one else. In a population of about 8 million why all of us only fall in love with only a single person whose place no one else can ever take.

As it goes in the Shakespeare’s poem “All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players;

They have their exits and their entrances…”, the life you are living is that movie or play and you are its lead character and its director too. In order to get it performed in the perfect way, we keep on looking for the best cast which eventually includes the best heroine. It’s somehow programmed in us, we already have an image in our mind of the soul-mate with which continuously match every single person we meet before finally meeting that perfect actress for the role.

When many of us find someone closer to their demands, they try to manipulate her into the perfect character they are looking for which is just unfair. Love can’t be about perfectness when it’s imperfect itself. And the act of showing love to the person you aim to manipulate according to your demands is just selfish. Our lack of perfectness is what makes us human and when someone else accepts our imperfectness that’s love. And the one who perfectly covers up our weaknesses, one with whom we make a perfect human, our other half is the one we fall in Love with.

The correct way to fight negative thinking | Don’t fight at all

How many times have you failed to throw all the negative thoughts popping in your mind every then & now?

If I am not wrong, everyone faces this situation sometimes when he just wish to kick these negative thoughts out of the planet. Over the time, studying about it, you will easily understand it isn’t that hard. The technique I use to win this fight against negativity is what I am going to share with you today and it’s not fighting them with positive thoughts, but not fighting at all. Before moving to that technique, you should first learn why these thoughts occur at the first place. You may already know our brain is made up of neurons whose working makes us able to think. Their electrical network makes our brain able to think. Our brain is the place where every good, bad or neutral thought pops up and after a time lost itself in the infinity, but only if let them to and don’t start playing with them.

This is what we are supposed to do when we come to the technique. Think of it like an internet ad that’s staring at you while you are browsing through your mind’s stream. Both of us know that this ad will only have an impact if we click on it. If you just let this ad (negative thought in this case) come and go and look at it like a random action of neurons, you will easily ignore it and focus on the stuff you should focus on until this too gets lost in infinity. You can do this to not only one but every thought that will cause trouble in your mind by simply minding your mind’s business.

Now face it, you can’t fight your own mind’s action with your mind, all you can do is the let it do what it wants and don’t react because only then it’s making an impact.

How we literally kill others on the Internet?

“By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.”

“I never met her in real life, we just talked on the web.

But I am sure that she was a really beautiful soul and a huge fandom of social networking.

She loved sharing “what was on her mind” with the world but, unfortunately, the world didn’t love her like she loved the world.

She got disgrace, haterade & jealousy in return of her feelings. And as a last option she chooses to quit thisjudging world, that cares more about their views than a person’s feelings.

We don’t think that our words affect. (It was just a small comment, we think.)

But in real, they do! And due to this; due to us, many beautiful souls die and another gets up to have their place until someone again judges, what’s on their mind.”

So, above was a work of fiction that describe the current situation of this so-called “Developed” world. We judge others by their actions, but ourselves by our intentions. Everyone who just scroll down; likes or support one of those negativecomments become a part of it; part of the crime, that hurts a person’s mind. We also know it by an another name: CyberBullying. Yes! It’s a part of it and most the time it develops a base for the bullies to attack the victims. And according to some studies, Bullying victims are 2 to 9 times more likely to consider committing suicide.

Some Facts and figures:

70% of students report seeing frequent bullying online.
64% of teens bullied online report being harassed on Facebook.
29% of teens bullied online have been harassed on Twitter.
Girls are about twice as likely as boys to be victims and perpetrators of cyber bullying.
Only 1 in 10 victims will inform a parent or trusted adult of their abuse.

“Ignoring facts does not make them go away.”

But, what can we do?

This is the most obvious and maybe the first question that came to your mind after reading the lines above. So, Yes! There are some ways that will even cost your useful mind, they just need some common sense and a little bit of attentiveness.

Report, Block or Ask: You already know how you can report anything on Facebook, Twitter or G+, but do you use that feature? From now whenever you see a crappy comment on your or even someone else’s post report it! You can even blockthat person or contact him or website’s owner to take action about it!
Support the Victim: If you know that someone is attacking your friend, you have to help your friend! It can be as simple as a back-fire comment or as powerful as a full debate; you just need to raise first (don’t worry others will be there soon).
Ignore: When you know that those people doesn’t matter to you then why react? Just keep on ignoring and they will stop when they will fail to gain attention.
Don’t Ignore: The title may sound Ironical if compared to the above one, but you should know what are the limits and what you should do when someone cross them!
Review the post: See what you are posting; it should not beoffensive to someone (if you want to stay away from fight). And if your post wasn’t offensive and even then someone is acting wrong then try the steps above.

Conclusion:

Just imagine that you are driving a car and you suddenly see someone laying half dead on the road, will you stop or pass by? (You don’t have any important work) Now, that car is your mouse, that road is your social site and that person is the victim of cyber-bullying, you can easily scroll down or use your keyboard to spread some positivity and save a life! We all are responsible for every act of crime that we didn’t try to stop, so from now PLEASE stand up and at least try to save a life.

What do you wanna be at 16?

I hope I’m not the only one who felt dizzy when someone asked me about what I wanna be when I grew up. Actually, it’s not that I don’t have an answer, but the fear of being judged is what makes me or all of us uncomfortable which is completely normal. Leaving the topic of fear for some other day, let’s talk about the right question today.

That right question, according to me is what do you want to be at the age of 16, 10 or whatever, because we all know at a point that life isn’t rigid and along the time, our choice change, our mind and our aims change too. When I was younger I always wanted to be a cartoonist, but I am not (not yet), not because I wasn’t good at it but because my choices, my priority changed. I will just advise you to focus on the nearest goals that you want to achieve in your near future because it’s just life and you never know what is coming. So, rather than focusing on one big thing and fail at a level from where you can’t get up, try focusing on the small thing that makes that big thing and failing a little at every step, but continue moving towards that BIG goal.

Other than making yourself comfortable with discussing your goals or plans, this should also help in making them real. And when we will ask our children questions like this, we will help them think about their dreams more practically and more vividly, eventually leading them to dream better and learning from them, how to make it come true.

So, which child are you going to gift this question? Tell me in the comments. Don’t forget to like, share & subscribe for more stuff like this. And follow us on Facebook to keep yourself updated by all our work.

Get Material Design UI for Chrome Today! | No Downloads

Google has planned to get Chrome its Material makeover next month on April 8, but still if you’re the sort of person like me who just can’t wait, here are the steps that you need to follow to get your chrome a material UI. Also, these tricks currently work only on Chrome for Windows or Chrome OS, not Mac.

Material Settings

This is a simple one, just enter chrome://md-settings in your Omnibox (Address Bar) and you gift yourself a new settings tab. As this is still a beta, you can’t use all the features like the wallpaper button  which is still inactive.

Try it and you will see this:

Address, Bookmark Bar & Downloads

To get these features, you need to manually enable the flag to get the new look. To do this, follow the steps:

Enter  chrome://flags
Find ‘Enable Material Design downloads’ (use Ctrl+F) and choose the enable option.

To get any flag feature activated, you’ll first need to relaunch the browser for it to take effect, but before you go that follow the next steps to save time.

Now, search & enable ‘ Material Design in the browser’s top Chrome ’ to get over your snoozy address and bookmark bars
Now restart the browser and get yourself a material design dose!

Material PDF Viewer and Policy Page

I’m not sure you may need this, but you can simply get a material design PDF viewer and Google’s Policy Page in chrome just by enabling “Material UI for PDF” and “Material Design policy page” in the Chrome’s flags section (chrome://flags).

Bonus: Dark Incognito Mode

Following the above steps will automatically add this feature to your Chrome. You just need to open a new Incognito window to enjoy this dark UI which is helpful because the earlier versions of chrome didn’t have much difference in the look of a normal and incognito tab.

We will get completely new Google Chrome soon, but until then you can use these tweaks to fulfill your zest. Did you like this new Chrome? Tell us in the comments. And don’t forget to share this with other Chrome users!

How & Why to Love Death? | And Why You Don’t Need That Power of Immortality?

Immortality is the most desired super power all over the world, not only in the humankind but also the mythological characters we know desired it. Even after this much demand, I don’t believe it’s something you may wish for. And I am going to explain you how.

The truth actually is that you should desire & love the universal power of death. Nothing is immortal at all and as Sir Neil Tyson says, “Even Stars have to die someday”(That’s what I am gonna write on my gravestone). The Death is the only thing that joins every living and non-living thing in the whole universe. For me, it’s the most honest thing that one can’t & shouldn’t deny. Let’s just imagine if you (only you) were immortal and had the ability to live forever no matter what, still the rest of the people will die. (If they are not going to losing you, you are going to lose them anyway) Everyone you do or can know will leave you someday no matter what and when you have completed all the desires from you bucket list, you will still have time left, actually, an amount of time that’s never going to finish. The lack of time to love, to explore and to live is what makes us alive. Nothing will be of any value if it’s going to stay there forever. We even lose interest from our iPhone when a newer version of it comes in the market, but the only difference is that the old iPhone died, it don’t have to suffer for death that isn’t coming anyway if it’s immortal.

Even our planet, we are caring it because it’s dying. So, eventually, it’s not the death that is to be feared from, but the life that you’ve or are going to live. If it’s a life that is worth living. If it was a life whose end can make you immortal. I too want to die (not soon) because it would be the time when I’ll be valued the most, the time when my absence will make a difference which couldn’t happen in my presence. I deal with it as my life’s evaluation test whose result, if I passed it will be death and if failed, will be a life that no one should live.

In the end, I can only advise you to live your life at it’s full before its end leaves you empty.

It’s Kind to be Cruel |Hitler’s Philosophy| Here’s What We can Learn if We Break Our Stereotypes

We all know Hitler, Right? Yes! But we know him only from his mass killing degree. Most of the people miss the philosophical side of people like him which I unfolded in his autobiography, The Mein Kemph (My Struggle). He was the man who killed over a million people in his lifetime and the only man who was able to defeat him was Hitler himself by committing suicide with his wife.

One way think that he was the cruelest of the all, but logically thinking, still the thing that’s more cruel is the nature. It kills billions of people every year through the actions of its power and no one ever got a chance to complain. So according to Adolf, in his autobiography he’s still kinder than our mother nature. His claim “I do not see why the man should not be just as cruel as nature.” is enough to convey his mindset and prove Hitler kind, at least, kinder than the largest power on the globe. You may find me mad, but he’s one of my inspirations not because of his dictator mindset or mass killing ability, but because of his determination, self-control & empowerment over others. He was a unique man & we have a lot to learn him, only if for once, we forget his cruelty and focus on his way of working. I mean, not every person can express power over such a huge number of people so efficiently.

The main aim of this article is not to empower Hitler, but to make you realize how much we can learn from people like him if we break their negative stereotypes and focus on the things we can learn from them.

Whose negative stereotypes are you going to break? Tell me in the comments. And don’t forget to like, share & subscribe for more stuff like this.

Who will you hire? Learn what that below-average application is hiding.

For a moment, imagine that you the hiring manager of one of the giants of the business world and your job is to hire the people who are best for the jobs you’re offering. After a random selection of candidates through an evaluation exam in which only a few people participated you got two final candidates to select from. At the time of the interview, both of them answered the same questions which reveal something about them & their lives. And now it’s up to you which one you are going to select. So, here they are:

Candidate 1:
What are your qualifications?

I have graduated from a good college and a major degree in computers.

Tell me about your circle.

My parents, both of them are qualified professors in the same college I have graduated from and they love me a lot. My friends and the places where I have worked earlier were both satisfying and I came here in search for better experience.

What are your weaknesses?

I must admit here that even though my good time management skills my mind tend to force me to procrastinate which wins sometimes. But I am constantly working on it and my procrastination tendency had already reduced from 20% to 7%. I hope that you can understand and have experience the same human tendency.

Candidate 2:
What are your qualifications?

I joined the largest college of my city but didn’t finish it. So, till now I am a high school graduate. But I like working with computers.

Tell me about your circle.

My parents left me for adoption when I was young. I don’t have many friends from my workplace because I constantly change my jobs, which is clear from my resume.

What are your weaknesses?

I am suffering from an uncommon from a brain damage known as Dyslexia which makes the things harder for me to learn, it’s also known as the learning disorder.

Final decision:

Till now, it must be clear in your mind that the Candidate 1 who has a degree from an esteemed college with a great family background and almost no weaknesses is a better selection the Candidate 2 who’s college drop-out Dyslexia patient who constantly changes his jobs.

So, if you choose the Candidate 1, congratulations for getting a great employee for your company. But if I had this choice I would have chosen the other one. Why?

Because his name is STEVE JOBS! ;)

Did you also think of choosing the Candidate 1 like the rest 97% from our social poll? Tell me in the comments. And don’t forget to like, share & subscribe for more stuff like this.
