Stress Free Email:

Here is an interesting article that I have gotten from one of my friends. It's an email on how to be Stress-Free, which is really helpful in some cases (mostly during the exams - midterms and finals).

This is what the email Says:


Folks,

I received this recently and I welcomed the wisdom and wanted to share it with you.  Enjoy.

The True Meaning of Stress and the Ways to Avoid it 

A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water, and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'..... she fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?", she inquired with a smile.

 

Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

 

She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

 

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced. So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't carry them through the evening and into the night... pick them up tomorrow.

 

Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment. Relax, pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now 'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"

 

1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue!

 

2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.

 

3 * Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.

 

4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their Maker..

 

5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague

 

6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it..

 

7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

 

8 * Never buy a car you can't push.

 

9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

 

10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.

 

11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

 

12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.

 

13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

 

14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

 

15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.

 

16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.

 

17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.

 

18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

 

19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.

 

20 * It was I, your friend!

 

New Dido Remix Found:

Hey everyone, how are all of you enjoying your summer vacation? I'm having such a blast this summer.
Well anyways getting to the point, I have recently found a peculiar remix of one of Dido's songs. It's an actual remix of Dido's song "Life For Rent". The last time I ever heard that remix was back in 2004 on her old site (www.dido.co.uk - which has been down for years). I remember hearing a short clip of that song on her site.
By the way in this song there are some extra lyrics added, it's after she says "While My Heart is A Shield..."


Here is the song:







Here are the lyrics as well :)

DIDO LIFE FOR RENT (SKINNY 4 RENT MIX) LYRICS:

I haven't really ever found a place that I call home
I never stick around quite long enough to make it
I apologize that once again I'm not in love
But it's not as if I mind
that your heart ain't exactly breaking

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't lean to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

I've always thought
that I would love to live by the sea
To travel the world alone
and live my life more simply
I have no idea what's happened to that dream
Cos there's really nothing left here to stop me

It's just a thought, only a thought

But if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

While my heart is a shield and I won't let it down
While I am so afraid to fail so I won't even try
While I'm so cold cos I'm scared to show my weaker side
Well how can I say I'm alive

If my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy.....

Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Well if my life is for rent and I don't learn to buy
Well I deserve nothing more than I get
Cos nothing I have is truly mine

Cos nothin I have is truly mine
Cos nothin I have is truly mine
Cos nothin I have is truly mine
