Mission parenting!

Studies prove that Human beings are by and large the only species with capacious introspective behaviour i.e.,humans can observe,process and jockey their own mental and emotional states unlike other animals.Humans introspect themselves in a perceptive manner with a rational into-the-self understanding.My needling question here is,Is this contemplative living and kicking 'ever civilizing breed' biased?Rephrasing the question,Are we humans 'inclined' to certain ideas/perceptions which generally are governed by our parenting attitudes/surrounding social demeanor?

Caving in to the situation,

Believe it or not,

#The etiquette of forthcoming generations are fundamentally directionalized by the parenting undergone.

#Most of the disorders associated with children exemplifying ADHD (Attention Deficit hyperactive disorder), Anxiety Disorders,ODD(Oppositional Defiant Disorder),etc.,find their roots in family dysfunction or malfunctioned education rather than psychopathological reasons.

#The parenting undergone by the children essentially governs their perceptional behaviour which later forms the bedrock for their social customs.

Drawing out answer for the aforementioned question from the justifications,Human beings are typically biased and the nature of the bias psychologically depends on concept of parenting.

Any human being is obviously prone to biasing in one or the other way round.My idea isn't about preventing the biased behaviour.For,biasing infact is unavoidable.My idea is being biased with multiple perceptions!

Multiple perceptional bias helps in better understanding about how things stack up,whether it is related to day-to-day life situations or the state affairs.For instance,Imagine yourself whiling time in an amusement park.Out of nowhere a muddled stranger bumps in to you and chides you for blocking the way eventhough it was clearly the messed-up-alien's fault.How do you react to such a situation?Do you convince yourself with "He must be having a bad day.so,blah blah blah.." or would you come out with something like "Such a jerk!".Chosing the former back talk can make whole lot of difference in the scenario rather than opting the latter one and ending up in a verbal war.If this is the case in the micro/singleton level,envision the aftermath in the nation-level domain.

So does the saying,"put yourself in someone else's shoes and check how it feels."

Besides all this,few more astonishing facts about family dysfunctions are that,

#80% of the evolving death row criminals come under the subjects of juvenile justice systems who have underwent tyrannized parenting.

#Preventing 3 out of every 4 homicides can be a piece of cake if proper parenting techniques are developed by the caregivers.

Proper Parenting is all it takes to make a difference.Are you aspiring to live in a better tommorrow?then start off now!Go beyond what it takes to be a better parent.Moreover,parenting which wraps up the sentiments of love and affection is supposed to set jinx on the sick list.For,with love the mission is possible!


We may not be able to prepare the future for our children, but we can at least prepare our children for the future.”

Freelancing

The word freelance may sound alien to a large chunk of "teenagers" but trust me,freelancing offers real good chances of financial independence.Etymologically freelance(free-lance) means a knight who can be hired by King of any kingdom i.e.,the knight is free to work under any king who pays him for his services.In vogue,freelancing actually implies self-employment.Freelancing is having a career without having a job,having many 'employers' without actually being employed i.e.,a freelancer is not employed continuously but is hired for specified assignments.Freelancing,now prevails virtually in every sphere of influence,activity,interest and study.For instance:
-freelance photography
-freelance journalism
-freelance event planning and management
-freelance writing,poetry and translation
-freelance editing and proof-reading
-freelance web design and development
-freelance acting and film making
  
are some of the well known freelancing fields.
In general all you need to have to be a freelancer is clarity about your interests.
#If you're a crackerjack in descriptional writing,and fully into using all the idiosyncratic metaphors then try freelancing your mastery.
#If you're a wizard of ABCs and master of fundamental elements of linguistics then proof-reading and editing can be your timewhiling job.
#If you know the ropes of music or if you're adroit with an instrument then you might kickstart your career by freelancing for shortfilm developers or filmmakers.
#If webpage designing,development and programming is your passion then try using your skill to aid people in need.
Besides making money,freelancing has numerous other interesting benefits.Freelancing helps you to get the knack of things.I mean in the trial for getting the assigned project done,you gain insights into the realtime implementation of things.Once you start freelancing on regular systematic basis,you'll find yourself getting introduced to new people,new working culture(if you're freelancing in a group),new attitudes.Freelancing further helps in increasing your social circle and enhance your time managing capabilties.From a recent study,most of the regular freelancers are found to have a highly systematic and organised social lives.That's no wonder to know that freelancers comprises of more than 7% of US workforce(as per 2005 statistics).Some other notable advantages of freelancing for teenagers include:
!you are your own boss
!choice of work
!flexible timings
Moreover most companies also pay just for referring others which means you can earn by your networking skills apart from your personal efforts.
So,it's now time for the teenagers to jack up their standards and show the world that we are no more the under thumb kids of the past.The idea is all about fostering and nurturing your innate skills and being the go-getters.Let's know what we have,let's activate our action.Let's do what we can.Let's freelance!!

While the smile!

Are you having a bad day and feeling like kickstarting the whole thing again?Are you feeling real bizarre and want yourself to calm down to ground state?Do you dig deep into your thoughts and end up with big frown?
Or
Do you wanna translate information to different people with ease?Do you wanna leave an impact on people around you?Are you interested in spreading something(ideas/news/..) and making it big?
Well,the IDEA which opens the lock to all these questions is so simple and subtle to the point:SMILE.
Can this little curve on the face set everything straight?
Turns out it can!!
Basically,Smiling makes a person more approachable,likable and attractive besides providing lots of health benefits.The act of smiling has been proven to be much more beneficial than it was ever thought.

#Psychological studies proved that,The physical act of smiling,although you are forcing/faking it,elevates your mood!

#Eventhough you're alone at your home and feeling real bored,smiling can make you feel better and happier.

#Scientific studies found that,Smiling makes you look more attractive,competent,confident,self-assured and flawless.Isn't that a jackpot?

#People with smiley faces are found to have happier relationships than who usually have I-hardly-smile faces.

And open up for this...
Smiling can boost up the ease with which information can be transmitted and received.
Studies show that when you hear/watch something which makes you frown,results in the release of adrenaline which upswings your defenses thereby shutting down the windows of the mind from grasping information.On the contrary,Smile/laughter/comedy totally cools down our defenses and in addition releases endorphins in the brain which makes us feel better and delighted thereby opening up for the easy intake of information.
Now you understand,
#Why funny people leave a longlasting impact on everyone?

#Why comedy shows/stand-up comedies impress us so much?

#Why we like that big funny fudge in our friends so much inspite of his eccentricity?

#Why we still remember the  pointless punchlines from our childhood?
Coz they make us happy.They trigger the fun-bomb and make us feel the flawlessness!
In the end,the IDEA is:
Practice the art of smiling!
Coz,
Sometimes,you'll feel that life is still worthwhile,if you just smile!

SMARTly stupid!

Before getting into the IDEA, let's pose ourselves few questions..
#When was the last time you tried to talk to a complete stranger while you were waiting for a bus??

#When was the last time you travelled in a train without carrying your IPOD??

#How much time in a day, do you spend without your smartphone??

#How much time in a day, do you actually be like what you actually are??

The gadgets have completely transformed the social behaviour of the most dominant species living on earth-Humans. These gadgets have become so smart that people started preferring gadgets to strangers. Is this supposed to be happening? If this continues, what would be the state of social links and interpersonal communication standards of coming generations?

We listen to music coz that soothes/excites/inspires/entertains us. We chat with our far-away friends coz we love to stay in touch with our all time best buddies. We talk with our loved ones/girlfriends/friends-with-benefits coz we love doing so for some undiscovered or otherwise inexplicable reasons. But it turns out that this has become an obsession. People have got their brains and thoughts buried into these gadgets keeping themselves connected, still being alone..

If this is the scenario, what do you think is the scope for expanding our social circle? Making new friends is not a once-in-a-while process, it's a continous ever running process wherein we bump into strangers,  acquaint with them, get to know them, be friends with them et cetra..et cetra.

So my simple IDEA for this gotta-be-a-bigtime issue is... MANAGE your SMART time, by being stupid sometimes.
#Whenever you become a lone nut, never feel like you're alone. There are people out there who deserve to be part of your life, give them a chance! You may love them..

#Whenever you travel by yourself, prepare yourself for the suprises you get from the realtime co-passengers, for one among them may be your future bestfriend banging your back on your next birthday!

#Try being funny. Smiles may not add years to your life but it surely adds LIFE to your years!!

#Start acquainting and befriending your neighbours/classmates/co-staff, for they are your everyday co-humans.

Life is not a race, it's a party! More the people, more the fun!Afterall, strangers are  friends waiting to happen!

The positive art!

Sometimes in life,we feel full.we feel so happy,feel like we have wings to fly,that is when the people around you love you for what you really are!Good times!!
But life has tough times too..afterall life is just like a cake,sometimes in the hands and sometimes IN THE FACE!!Moreover if there were no tough times how would we rejoice the good times?Somehow tough times are good for us.But actually what are these tough times supposed to do to us?

Cutting the crap off,these tough times help us in exploring..exploring the real self.Have we ever thought of:

#people who heartfully cared for us,even when we never gave a damn about them?

#people who were responsible for our no-reasoned,pointless,belly-bursting laughs with our loved ones?

#people who gave us enough reasons to mock them,crack jokes on them and have a peak-punching ace high funtime with our friends?

Well,if we didn't,these tough times will make us THINK.Besides these they provide us sweet memories,for instance what would be childhood:

#if we hadn't had bleeding knees?

#if we never fell sick?for if we were sick we could have our mum taking care of us with all warmth and heavenly love.

And we can't even imagine adulthood without rejections and downtravel.

So,do not blame someone/something for the tough times..for life is what you make it!
And here comes my IDEA about succeeding the tough times:Lonelieness.

Just take some time for yourself and isolate yourself in a place you feel better and let your thoughts bounce back to the past.The times when everything's good..when happiness was in abundance.Think about the people who made you happy,people who left you sweet memories,people who were responsible for the moments-unforgettable.Feel those moments close to your heart and feel them like you're living them now...and from nowhere you will feel yourself light and comfy.Afterall,if life gives us lemons,let's shake up the story!!..make lemonade!!

Everything in life has a reason.For good times to rejoice and tough times to learn.
And my IDEA here,is to look at the positive side of life.Living life is just a part of living,loving it is the real Art of living!

Unengineered!

Are you aspiring to become an engineer??
Then,do check yourself again!you might regret your choice!!
Believe it or not,
#90% of MBA students are from engineering background.

#Majority of the engineering undergraduates end up in a job which is completely irrelevant to the course in which they were engineered.

#The minority of experts top their positions in their respective streams while the rest are just left behind and often found to be working under the same professionals/experts.

Engineering has now become a default stream,for people who are in a confused state of mind,not knowing what to do with their life take up engineering and end up taking an IT job or some other JUST-FOR-MONEY jobs.Taking a look at engineering institutions,they too were becoming equally eccentric,letting down the principles of engineering,they started commercializing.

Is this supposed to be happening??

Well if you probe into the scenario,the major factors for this behaviour are:

#Students lacking clarity of their own field of interest.By the time they reach under graduate study they don't surely know what kickstarts their life.

#Parents compelling their they-are-capable-of-decision making-children to choose course of their choice instead of the student's choice.This is due to erratic misconceptions that one course is superior to the other(for instance,they think electronics is superior to computing and compel the student to take up electronics although the student is into computing).

#Students taking up some inky-pinky-ponky branch in engineering and end up regretting their choice.
How can we expect every under graduate to be a professional if this is the case?
Let's see how we can control this from going to break-down condition..
First,this is a problem wherein student holds the sole responsibility.

#Students ought to find which FIELD  makes them intoxicated!!they ought to know what drives them crazy!they have to know their dreams,for now it's time for them to live what they have dreamt.

#Students ought to know that there are courses/streams other than engineering.Explore them!Find the passion within you...If you dare enough,create a new path,believe in your dreams,live your passion.one day you might find yourself alone...do not worry,for the world is all behind,following you!

#And parents gotta help their children giving them the support and flexibility in terms of decision making.Afterall it is the student's attitude that defines the parent's status.
Engineering is not supposed to be a default stream.It is a school where professionals who design the world around us and make it a better place to live,are made!Let's respect it.So,if you're not into it,do not go for it and later on do not UNENGINEER yourself!!

Do the Doodle!

Is your class boring you?/Is your boss's butt-numbing speech irritating you?Are you really dead with something/someone but still want to focus?Wanna make yourself interested in the surroundings?Well,then I've got an idea for you!!
And the idea:doodling!
LOL!how on earth can drawing something ever help you in focussing on the surroundings?how can the meaningless,weird looking and often irritating patterns we generally draw make us feel interested?can mere scribbling help in changing the mood?
Well,the answer to these questions can be yes!
Doodling,fidgeting(spinning a pen or rearranging papers or playing with mobile) and scribbling practises which we generally do for passing time and are considered generally as signs of unwillingness are known to enhance concentration power and help you focus on the present surrounding aspects by not letting our mind to roam all around or day-dream and have a presence of mind.
#Lecturers and professors,If your students are doodling,scribbling or fidgeting around while you are teaching something worthwhile,no worries!
#Ceo's,Managing directors and corporate heads,do you often find your officials and subordinates drawing cartoons and all seems-to-be-useless stuff during board meetings and conferences?ignore it all now!
Coz,these activities are human mind's creative way of retaining the presence of mind while they are actually being bored.So next time around you find someone doodling,ease yourself!you need not be mad at them.for their mind is trying its best to keep them focussed.De facto,psychological studies proved that doodlers in a class remember 29% more than nondoodlers!!so Bingo!
concluding the idea,I would like to advice everyone who feels bored and looking for some IDEA to retain their presence of mind from wandering all round the world...Do not get lost in thoughts of past or future,instead live the moment and...Do the Doodle!

D.I.Y

!!The best,easiest and the simplest way to get things done is...D.I.Y-Do It Yourself!
Yeah..it really is the best way.Relying solely on experts and professionals doesn't seem to be a good sign anymore.Household work especially,cleaning and carpentry can be done with real ease by doing it ourselves rather than being dependent on some other alternatives.Moreover D.I.Y improves the self-dependency of individuals.Developing the habit of D.I.Y in children of coming generations is far more esssential than before,for the stress-factor on an individual is increasing exponentially from generation to generation.For any child,home is the first school,the practises at home reflect in child's attitude towards life.Hence teaching them simple D.I.Ys like..
#MAINTAINING a mini garden.planting merely wouldn't make any difference,the real potential is required to MAINTAIN what you've planted..(even in life!)
#Being organised..atleast to the extent of his/her room.Watch out!Messy room results in an unorganised behaviour.
#Making friends.Allowing children to make their own friends results in intelligent decision-making skills for they then will have the knowledge of what is right and what is not.
Apart from children,adults too find lot of relief once you practise the D.I.Y.Now you need not wait for your carpenter to repair your furniture,you need not depend on the corporation people for cleaning up your surroundings,you can grow your own vegetables in the little garden you've at the back of your house..and you now gain the real Independence of living!
D.I.Y inturn helps in saving a lot of money and time,besides rejoicing the independence and practise of self-help.
If you got to understand the IDEA of D.I.Y,then start depending on no one,for people may leave you but you're not gonna loose hope now!
Stop depending..start D.I.Ying!!

Ideabox!!

Well,the name says what my blog is actually about.Just to make it much more clear i would like to say few more points abt the blog..

#This blog is totally about Ideas!

-environment
-domestic help
-education
-creation of better world
-developing positive perceptions
-small business management
-creating happiness

-et cetra..et cetra.

#It may sound quite weird but i have a reason for this..In my lyf i've noticed that all the great inventions/discoveries track back to a simple idea..an idea so simple that it's ignored by majority and those who believed in that same SIMPLE idea made the whole lot of difference!
So here i start with my simple idea i.e.,"to spread the SIMPLE ideas!"

#The foundation theme or the basic attitude of the blog is:

"Any given idea will be useful/helpful/productive/relieving to any person at some point of time in his/her journey of life."
