- Offer your undivided attention to each other.
- Some relationships “think they are spending time together when, in reality, they are only living in close proximity”
- Quality conversation is a necessity
- Quality dialog is when “two individuals are sharing their experiences, thoughts, feelings, and desires in a friendly, and uninterrupted context”
- Quality activities may include anything in which one or both of you have an interest. The emphasis is not on what you are doing but on why you are doing it.
Thought for the week….
Living in favourable and unfavourable situations is called “PART OF LIFE”
But smiling in all those situations is called “ART OF LIVING”
Live your life for you, not for anyone else. Don’t let the fear of being judged, rejected or disliked stop you from being yourself.
Thought for the week….
“The fairest sharing to humanity is time, 24 hours for every living thing, what you do with it is up to you”
No matter how long you have travelled in the wrong direction, you always have the choice to turn around.
VALUE of VALUES
Let’s first of all, realise the need for values in our life. Man needs definite values by which to live and regulate his life. He needs them to keep life from being side-tracked by the many temptations and from being overrun by the constant threats to mortality. A life with no values is an open prey to destructive influences and meaningless ideas. Such a life often leads to failure and rarely to success.
Values in life help to establish priorities and make us conscious of the important and worthwhile things in life. In today’s modernization people tend to worship wealth and respect those who possess it. A well to do man commands more respect and exercises more power in the society.
Today we are afraid of the simple words like goodness, mercy, and kindness. We feel that honesty and frankness make us vulnerable. That is why the world is so sick. To heal this sick world we have to apply the balm of values. We have to inculcate the right values from a very young age.
We should realise that real dignity of a man lies not in what he has alone, but in what he is.
Our values are important because they help us to grow and develop. They help us to create the future we want to experience. They determine our priorities, and, deep down, they’re probably the measures we use to tell if our life is turning out the way you want it to.
Household/cooking tips
- Unused or expired Ointments tubes need not be thrown away. You can use the ointment to grease creaky, squeaky hinges of doors and windows.
- If your silver jewellery( without stones) turns black, place them in a saucepan or vessel, add some water and slices of a cut potato and boil it for 10 minutes, you will notice that the jewellery has regained its shine.
- Breadcrumbs will stick better to meat or fish if you chill them for 20 minutes before frying.
- Keep a record of everything that you purchase and review it every month. If you discover that you have not used most of the things that you have purchased, you can resist impulse purchases the next month.
