Today I received another interesting forwarded email from a colleague, again. It's quite a useful one, with a recommendation on how to save important phone numbers in your mobile phone books so that they can be easily identified during emergencies. It's recommended by paramedic.
"""""""""
We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.
If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign
The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).
The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."
For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!
Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our Mobile phones today!
Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest .
Remember:-
ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

Whom to blame?
Happened to cross through this website, and it has a good quote of thoughts.
I like below quote:
I like below quote:
Whom to blame?
If you are looking for someone to blame then its your bad mood that should be blamed. Its your fears, you lack of control and your worries that should be blamed. Its your life problems that caused you such emotions that should be blamed. Its your helplessness and lack of life skills that should be blamed and not the other people.
I am not asking you to stop blaming people but i am just asking you to find the real things that should be blamed and then deal with them.

ได้อะไรจากถังที่แตกร้าว
ชายจีนคนหนึ่งแบกถังน้ำสองใบไว้บนบ่าเพื่อไปตักน้ำที่ริมลำธาร
ถังน้ำใบหนึ่งมีรอยแตก
ในขณะที่อีกใบหนึ่งไร้รอยตำหนิ และสามารถบรรจุน้ำกลับมาได้เต็มถัง
แต่ด้วยระยะทางอันยาวไกล จากลำธารกลับสู่บ้าน
จึงทำให้น้ำที่อยู่ในถังใบที่มีรอยแตกเหลืออยู่เพียงครึ่งเดียว
เหตุการณ์ทั้งหมดนี้ดำเนินมาเป็นเวลา 2 ปีเต็มที่คนตักน้ำสามารถตักน้ำกลับมาบ้านได้หนึ่งถังครึ่ง
ซึ่งแน่นอนว่าถังน้ำใบที่ไม่มีตำหนิจะรู้สึกภาคภูมิใจ ในผลงานเป็นอย่างยิ่ง
ในขณะเดียวกันถังน้ำที่มีรอยแตกก็รู้สึก อับอายต่อความบกพร่องของตัวเอง
มันรู้สึกโศกเศร้ากับการที่มันสามารถทำหน้าที่ได้เพียงครึ่งเดียวของจุดประสงค์ ที่มันถูกสร้างขึ้นมา
หลังจากเวลา 2 ปี ที่ถังน้ำที่มีรอยแตกมองว่าเป็นความล้มเหลวอันขมขื่น
วันหนึ่งที่ข้างลำธาร มันได้พูดกับคนตักน้ำว่า
' ข้ารู้สึกอับอายตัวเองเป็นเพราะรอยแตกที่ด้านข้างของตัวข้า
ทำให้น้ำที่อยู่ข้างในไหลออกมาตลอดเส้นทางที่กลับไปยังบ้านของท่าน '
คนตักน้ำตอบว่า ' เจ้าเคยสังเกตหรือไม่ว่ามีดอกไม้เบ่งบานอยู่ตลอดเส้นทางในด้านของเจ้า
แต่กลับไม่มีดอกไม้อยู่เลยในอีกด้านหนึ่ง
เพราะข้ารู้ว่าเจ้ามีรอยแตกอยู่ ข้าจึงได้หว่านเมล็ดพันธุ์ดอกไม้ลงข้างทางเดินด้านของเจ้า
และทุกวันที่เราเดินกลับ ... เจ้าก็เป็นผู้รดน้ำให้กับเมล็ดพันธุ์เหล่านั้น
เป็นเวลา 2 ปี ที่ข้าสามารถที่จะเก็บดอกไม้สวย ๆ เหล่านั้นกลับมาแต่งโต๊ะกินข้าว
ถ้าหากปราศจากเจ้าที่เป็นเจ้าแบบนี้แล้ว ... เราก็คงไม่อาจได้รับความสวยงามแบบนี้ได้ '
คนเราแต่ละคนย่อมมีข้อบกพร่องที่เป็นเอกลักษณ์ของตัวเอง
แต่รอยตำหนิและข้อบกพร่องที่เราแต่ละคนมีนั้น
อาจช่วยทำให้การอยู่ร่วมกันของเราน่าสนใจ และกลายเป็นบำเหน็จรางวัลของชีวิตได้
สิ่งที่ต้องทำก็เพียงแค่ยอมรับคนแต่ละคนในแบบที่เขาเป็น
และมองหาสิ่งที่ดีที่สุดในตัวของพวกเขาเหล่านั้นเท่านั้นเอง
มองโลกหลายๆ ด้าน เพราะคนเราไม่ได้มีแต่ข้อเสียเท่านั้น

Never Gave Up
Another meaningful story going round email forwarding...
***
One day a young lady was driving along with her father. They came upon
a storm.. The young lady asked her father what should she do?
He said, "keep driving".
Cars began to pull over to the side, the storm was
getting worse. "What should I do?" the young lady asked.
"Keep driving" her father replied.
On up a few feet she noticed eighteen wheelers were pulling over also.
She told her dad, "I must pull over. I can barely see ahead. It is terrible out here
and everyone is pulling over."
Her father told her not to give up just keep driving.
Now the storm was terrible but she never stopped driving and soon she
could see a little more clearly.
After a couple of miles she was on dry land and the sun was out. Her
father said, "now pull over and get out of the car."
She said, "but why now?"
He said, "get out look back, at all the people that gave up and are still in the
storm. You never gave up and now your storm is over.

What's wrong with eating too full?
I am not sure how accurate it is, but received from a friend of mine through forwarded emails.
Just for reference then...
****
What's wrong with eating too full?
Take time to read this mail. You will appreciate that you received it and read it.
Don't overeat and don't encourage your family members and friends to overeat
- unless you wish to shorten their healthy living and perhaps die younger!
An interesting article about eating too full....in today's Dr Lee Newsletter Issue:
"The more you eat, the sooner you die. The lesser you eat, the longer you live." This is what Dr Lee always says in his health talk. He also mentions, "Eating too full causes all sort of health problems such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, etc."
Why eating too full is so harmful to your health? What can you do about it?
Mice experiment
To see how eating habit affects life span, a professor from University of Texas did an experiment on mice.
For the first group of 100 mice, he let them eat without any restriction, just like a buffet meal. The second group was fed only 60% full. And the third group was given food without restriction too. But this time, he reduced protein content to half. After 2.5 years, guess how many mice were still alive out of 100?
* First group (eat without restriction) - only 13 mice was alive. Opsss...
* Second group (eat 60% full) - 97 mice was still alive. Only 3 mice died.
* Third group (eat without restriction with protein cut half) - 50 mice still alive.
What can we learn from these results?
Firstly, eating too full is really harmful to your body. Secondly, eat 60% full if you want to live longer and healthier. Thirdly, taking too much protein is harmful to your body too. We don't need so much protein after all.
Overworking body
Imagine having a small family car. Instead of using it for short travel between home and office, you use it for long distance travel between different cities every day. Instead of using it 1 hour a day, you use it for 10 hours a day. Instead of driving at 70 km/h, you always speed up to 170 km/h, hitting engine's red line.
Can you estimate your car life span? Do you expect having various problems with your car after a short time?
Driving your car at high speed for a long time is like always eating too full. You force your body to always work at its red line.
Do you know that digestion is the most demanding work for your body? Think about the organs involved such as your mouth, stomach, liver, pancreas, duodenum and intestine. Think about the length of digestive tract from your mouth to intestine.
Eating too full zaps up much of your body energy for digestion. Otherwise, this energy may be used for other purpose such as enhancing your immune system.
Do you realize you become very tired easily after a big meal? That is the sign of your body working hard to digest all the food you take in.
If you eat an extra bowl of noodle, your pancreas has to produce extra insulin hormone to process the extra carbohydrates you take.
Your liver, stomach and intestine also have to produce extra enzymes to digest and process specific nutrients from that bowl of noodle.
Therefore the more you eat, the harder your body has to work to process it. Of course, we must eat to survive. But we don't have to eat that much!
If you drive your car slowly and handle it gently, you can use it for a long time. But if you always floor the accelerator and drive like a rally driver, you know the consequence on your car life span.
Side effect of eating
Your car engine burns fuel to move your car and bring you to anywhere you like to go. As a result, the engine produces exhaust smoke which is toxic. It must be dispersed out from your car. Similarly, your body cell burns nutrient for energy to survive. In the process, it produces free radicals. Since free radical is toxic to your body, it has to be neutralized and expelled.
"Just metabolizing food especially fatty and carbohydrate- rich fare causes the body to produce free radicals, which attack cells and can promote the development of chronic conditions including heart disease, diabetes and cancer," says Ronald L. Prior, Ph.D.
Of course, your body can control free radicals in small quantity. But the more you eat, the more free radicals your body produces. Without adequate control, these free radicals easily attack your body cells and eventually cause all sort of diseases.
Good eating habit
After knowing the harmful effect of eating too full, what's your choice?
Do you want to live longer, just like the second group mice in the experiment?
Or do you want to risk ending your life earlier, just like the first group mice?
If you wish to live longer, here are some tips you can follow:
1.. Always eat until 70% full. Do not exceed 80% full. You may want to stop eating when you feel slightly full.
2. Avoid having buffet style meal which makes it harder to control how much you eat. Instead, prepare the food you want to eat in a plate. After finishing it, don't add anymore food.
3. Leaving the dining table earlier may prevent you from picking some extra food to eat.
4. It is always a good idea to prepare lesser food in the first place. Some people are afraid of having not enough food for everyone. Actually, lesser food is beneficial for everyone..In a restaurant, order in small amount first. You can always add in some extra order if necessary. But if you can get by with the original smaller order, that's great.
Remember this: You have higher chance of overeating if you serve more food on the table. You have better chance of not overeating if you serve less food.
5. Avoid stuffing your fridge with ice cream, chocolate or other dessert. You cannot eat what you do not have.
6. When someone prepares a big plate of food for you, look at it first. Ask yourself, "Do I want to stuff it all into my stomach?"
If your answer is no, just put aside some food to another empty plate first. After finishing your food, look back at the extra food on that new plate. Say to yourself, "Phew! Luckily I didn't stuff that portion into my stomach."
7. When you get too hungry before your meal time, just take some fruit instead of heavy meal. The tendency to overeat is very high for modern people. Do you know most monks only eat twice a day?
They wake up at 4am, meditate and say their prayer. Later they have their simple breakfast at 7am. Before 12pm, they have their lunch. That's all for them. They eat no more after that. No tea break. No dinner. No supper. They still look strong and energetic.
Of course, we don't have to eat like them. But it reminds us we can eat less and stay healthy. So remember to eat only 70% full if you want to stay healthy.
DO NOT WASTE. ORDER ONLY WHAT YOU CAN AND WILL EAT, NOT EXPECT OTHERS TO
FINISH FOR YOU!

How to become a Formula 1 Designer/Engineer
I think this is a good piece of reference to those planning/interested to become Formula 1 engineer. It's been written since SEPTEMBER 2, 1997. BY PETER WRIGHT
http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00273.html
****
SEPTEMBER 2, 1997
BY PETER WRIGHT
Of the many millions of people around the world who follow Formula 1 motor racing, a tiny percentage are sufficiently inspired by it to pursue their technical interests into a career in the engineering side. Thirty years ago, when I applied for a job at BRM, the Chief Engineer, Tony Rudd, warned me that it was a risky path to follow and that I would be better off to join one of the large engineering companies such as Rolls Royce Aero. Engines. However, I wanted to be in Formula 1 too much and was prepared to take the risk of working for a small company in the unstable world of motor racing, and he finally agreed to take me on. Today the situation is different; motor racing employs thousands of designers and engineers from all disciplines, and offers one of the best careers in a shrinking market for mechanical engineers.
How does a young, technically orientated boy or girl, inspired by the sound of a high revving racing engine, or by the artistry of Schumacher controlling a wayward Ferrari, go about reaching the peak of motor racing design or engineering - Formula 1? What sort of education and experience is needed to get on to the first rung of the ladder? What specialisation's are most sought after? How did those who are now at the peaks of their careers start? The answer to the last question does not provide much direct guidance:
Patrick Head (Williams) joined the British Navy.
John Barnard (McLaren/Ferrari/Benetton/Arrows) worked on production machinery for making light bulbs.
Gordon Murray (Brabham and McLaren) designed machines for making plastic containers.
Rory Byrne (Benetton and Ferrari) was an industrial chemist.
Eric Broadley (Lola) was in the building trade.
Gary Anderson (Jordan) was a mechanic.
Nigel Bennett (Penske) was studying to become an architect.
But, all of them designed, built, tuned and raced specials in their spare time. Their day jobs funded their hobbies until this passion for racing cars took over and launched them upwards towards Formula 1 and Indy cars.
In the days when these men started in racing, it was still possible for one person to understand, and hence design, a Formula 1 car or engine. He could take any part of the vehicle, look at it and understand how it worked - or did not work. Keith Duckworth designed the Cosworth DFV, the most successful Grand Prix engine ever, virtually single handed. Today it takes a team of designers and engineers to create the technical "tour de force" that is a modern Formula 1 car. No single person can possibly understand all of it - aerodynamics, composites, electronics, control systems, materials, combustion, lubrication, transmissions etc. Specialists engineers research and develop each aspect and multi-discipline designers create the whole. The Chief Designer's or Chief Engineer's job is to guide and co-ordinate this team of experts towards realising a carefully optimised concept. He must be able to discuss details with the CFD or FEA specialist, and be able to interpret the mass of data from the car and engine. Most of all he must take all the inputs and information and make critical decisions, i.e. he must direct and manage the whole technical side of the business.
The leading Formula 1 teams have expanded their design, engineering and R&D departments in the last decade, as the requirements have expanded and large budgets have been acquired to finance them. They may be as large as 100 persons, covering all aspects of engineering:
Designer - Mechanical - Engine
- Chassis and suspension
- Transmissions
- Systems
- Models
- Composites
- Electrical
- Stress
Race engineer
R&D Engineer - Aerodynamics - Wind tunnel
- CFD
- Structures
- Vehicle dynamics
- Electronics
- Materials
- Hydraulics
- Control systems
- Data systems and analysis
- Engine
- Safety
- Testing and test rigs
Production Engineer - Machine shop
- Composites
- Assembly
- Quality control
- Planning
It is not just the teams that employ large engineering departments. Engine manufacturers, tyre companies, fuel and lubricant companies, the FOCA TV organisation, TAG-Heuer, and all the specialist components suppliers such as carbon brakes, clutches, electronics, data systems etc have significant motorsport departments to support Formula 1 and the other major series.
With such a large and diverse set of technical disciplines involved in all forms of motor racing, it is difficult to generalise about what educational path an aspirant should follow in order to best prepare him/herself for a career in top level motorsport.
The personal attributes needed by an aspiring Formula One designer or engineer are:
Knowledge
Understanding
Experience
Creativity
Ability to work hard consistently
Attitude
They cannot all be gained by education. However, the wrong education can negatively impact any one of these characteristics, reducing the natural level possessed by an individual.
With technical knowledge increasing almost exponentially, much of education is tending to concentrate on the gaining of knowledge at the expense of understanding. A recent survey of undergraduates entering British universities set a fairly simple trigonometry problem for them to solve. More than two thirds of them were unable to calculate the correct answer as they did not know the formula, and were not equipped with the understanding of trigonometry to enable them to work it out from first principles. We are flooded with information and facts via books, multi-media and the Internet. It is important to know how to find and interpret these facts, but it is not so essential to remember them as it is to understand them and their limitations. All too often the CV's of job applicants list all the CAD and CAE software that the person knows how to use, but this merely tells the interviewer how many courses they have been on. Details of software written by the applicant would tell much more about their understanding of the subject involved. Of course, just as a draughtsman used to have to know how to use drawing instruments and how to dimension and tolerance a component, the designer of today must be conversant with CAD and CAE. However they too are just drawing instruments, in the wrong hands they will generate bad designs. A good designer, who has never used CAD, is better than a bad one who knows all the CAD systems. Converting a good designer to CAD is a matter of attending an appropriate course, and practice. Converting a bad designer into a good one is probably impossible.
For this reason it is not really important which technical subjects are studied at school and university, as a person who has a good understanding of the basic technical subjects i.e. maths, physics and chemistry, will be able to learn the essentials of a particular specialist subject and apply his or her fundamental ability to understand a wide range of topics. Rory Byrne did not learn much about aerodynamics or suspension design while studying chemistry, but this did not stop him becoming one of the designers with the best understanding of what makes a Formula 1 car fast.
There are not many science or engineering subjects that are not relevant to motor racing, one way or another. Even biology can lead to sports medicine or human factors research. At the moment, atomic physics and cosmic science are not involved, but you never know�
The quality of a degree or other qualification is important. The institution where studies take place should have a long term reputation for producing quality engineers and scientists. The qualification standards achieved will reflect the effort and dedication of the student. Since the mid-1980's Williams have been employing designers and engineers with good degrees. It is with this sound raw material that they have built up the top technical organisation in Formula One and the quality of their cars reflect this.
The first language of motor racing is English. This does not mean that in order to work in a team such asFerrari it is not beneficial to be able to speak Italian. However, in any discussion or meeting between people from a number of different countries the language used will inevitably be English, and any participant not able to follow the discussion will be at a serious disadvantage. Conference proceedings and technical papers on motor sport topics are normally published in English. Anyone intending a career in motor sport must have a reasonable command of English, especially technical English, in order to be able to integrate with other people in the teams he works for. Some European countries, with a minority language such as Dutch, educate their children from a young age in a number of languages. The result of this education is that they are able to find work almost anywhere in the world.
When it comes to seeking someone for a particular specialist post, applicants with either a Masters Degree - which does reflect understanding and innovative thinking - or relevant experience will be the ones of most interest to the employer. After understanding, experience is the most important attribute. Many complain that they cannot get into motorsport without experience, but that they cannot gain experience without having a job in racing. Not true. Schools and universities that provide opportunities to become involved in real, practical, competitive, automotive projects are numerous. These projects, allied to the right academic courses, combine practical experience with theory, giving meaning to much of the course work. A competitive element sorts out those that like to work under pressure from those less suited. Formula SAE, which has been running since 1981 in the USA involving numerous American universities and thousands of engineering students, is a perfect example of an initiative that is producing many excellent racing car designers and engineers.
(Note: I am sure there is a suitable Japanese example of a University based, automotive competition that could be included here.)
Gaining experience outside college is mostly a test of initiative. Motorsport is broad enough and deep enough to provide many opportunities for those prepared to take them and those who will make sacrifices. All of the top designers, mentioned earlier, gained their experience by becoming involved in racing one way or another and at whatever level they could find. They "just did it", either at their own expense or for no remuneration. If the right qualities are present in an individual, they will be spotted eventually and someone will offer to pay for them.
The lower formulae in motorsport, leading up to Formula 1, vary in the experience they can provide. Some have fairly free technical regulations and provide opportunities to innovate in the design and development of the cars and engines. Unfortunately they are becoming rarer and are being replaced by the one-make formulae such as F3000. These formulae have almost no technical freedom and hence provide limited experience for designers, but they do teach race engineers the precision and discipline necessary to this job well. Karting is not just a school for drivers, it is also a good starting place for enterprising racing engineers, as all the fundamentals of motorsport engineering are there, in their simplest mechanical form.
The old apprenticeship system was not wrong - it imbued young engineers with a feel for materials, processes and the reality of making things work, that generally enriched them as designers and engineers. For example, an engineer who wants to become involved in composite design would benefit enormously from a period spent making composite tools and parts. The Jordan car reflects the years Gary Anderson spent as a mechanic - building assemblies and rebuilding them until they worked properly. His cars are wonderfully practical machines.
If you know what area of motor racing engineering you want to work in, then go and learn it from the ground up. The best designers can make every part they design, with their own hands.
Becoming involved in motorsport at any level starts the development of a network of contacts, many of whom rise up and spread throughout the sport. This network provides information about jobs that become available, usually long before they are advertised, and is a source of technical intelligence from other sections of motor racing.
Getting to the top in motor racing requires a great deal of hard work. Because it is a competitive activity means that there is never any reason to stop work - if you do a bit more there is a chance you will beat the person who has all ready stopped work. While the rewards can eventually be considerable for those who succeed, both financial and in terms of life style, it is more a case of long hours and little compensation on the way up. To be prepared to slog away, far from the well equipped factories, luxury hotels and glamour, requires a passion for the sport and the technology involved. This attitude to cars and racing is essential if a young designer or engineer is to survive long enough to rise through the ranks to Formula 1 or another of the top racing series. Detecting the right attitude is a major factor when interviewing potential designers and engineers - or indeed any potential employee. Colin Chapman used to say that in order to assess an applicant for a mechanic's or a designer's job, it was not worth bothering to ask them lots of questions - designers tend to be poor communicators anyway - just look in either the mechanic's tool box or inspect some of the designer's drawings. This would tell you all there was to know about the applicant's attitude, and his or her ability to do their job.
Two of the best young engineers I have employed did not respond to advertisements, instead they sought me out with the claim that they had decided they wanted to work for Lotus, and what could I give them to do. As long as they earned enough to live, they were not interested in how much they would be paid. Both developed into highly skilled and motivated R&D engineers, making big contributions to Lotus. Within five minutes of meeting them it was obvious that both of them were the sort of people Lotus wanted working for the company; after that it was just a question of finding them something to do to get them started.
Formula 1 is expanding at the moment. The top teams are recruiting designers and engineers. If you do not mind hard work under pressure, and are stimulated by seeing the fruits of your labours being put to the test within a few weeks or months of inception, this is a good career. Even if you do not contemplate being involved in motor racing for your whole working life, it is an environment that provides a wide range of contacts in related fields. It is also now recognised that successful motor racing engineers possess most of the qualities needed in all forms of engineering, engendering the right attitude towards problem solving and getting things done.
If you really want to be a racing car designer or engineer, go for it! I can guarantee you will not be bored.

SEPTEMBER 2, 1997
BY PETER WRIGHT
Of the many millions of people around the world who follow Formula 1 motor racing, a tiny percentage are sufficiently inspired by it to pursue their technical interests into a career in the engineering side. Thirty years ago, when I applied for a job at BRM, the Chief Engineer, Tony Rudd, warned me that it was a risky path to follow and that I would be better off to join one of the large engineering companies such as Rolls Royce Aero. Engines. However, I wanted to be in Formula 1 too much and was prepared to take the risk of working for a small company in the unstable world of motor racing, and he finally agreed to take me on. Today the situation is different; motor racing employs thousands of designers and engineers from all disciplines, and offers one of the best careers in a shrinking market for mechanical engineers.
How does a young, technically orientated boy or girl, inspired by the sound of a high revving racing engine, or by the artistry of Schumacher controlling a wayward Ferrari, go about reaching the peak of motor racing design or engineering - Formula 1? What sort of education and experience is needed to get on to the first rung of the ladder? What specialisation's are most sought after? How did those who are now at the peaks of their careers start? The answer to the last question does not provide much direct guidance:
Patrick Head (Williams) joined the British Navy.
John Barnard (McLaren/Ferrari/Benetton/Arrows) worked on production machinery for making light bulbs.
Gordon Murray (Brabham and McLaren) designed machines for making plastic containers.
Rory Byrne (Benetton and Ferrari) was an industrial chemist.
Eric Broadley (Lola) was in the building trade.
Gary Anderson (Jordan) was a mechanic.
Nigel Bennett (Penske) was studying to become an architect.
But, all of them designed, built, tuned and raced specials in their spare time. Their day jobs funded their hobbies until this passion for racing cars took over and launched them upwards towards Formula 1 and Indy cars.
In the days when these men started in racing, it was still possible for one person to understand, and hence design, a Formula 1 car or engine. He could take any part of the vehicle, look at it and understand how it worked - or did not work. Keith Duckworth designed the Cosworth DFV, the most successful Grand Prix engine ever, virtually single handed. Today it takes a team of designers and engineers to create the technical "tour de force" that is a modern Formula 1 car. No single person can possibly understand all of it - aerodynamics, composites, electronics, control systems, materials, combustion, lubrication, transmissions etc. Specialists engineers research and develop each aspect and multi-discipline designers create the whole. The Chief Designer's or Chief Engineer's job is to guide and co-ordinate this team of experts towards realising a carefully optimised concept. He must be able to discuss details with the CFD or FEA specialist, and be able to interpret the mass of data from the car and engine. Most of all he must take all the inputs and information and make critical decisions, i.e. he must direct and manage the whole technical side of the business.
The leading Formula 1 teams have expanded their design, engineering and R&D departments in the last decade, as the requirements have expanded and large budgets have been acquired to finance them. They may be as large as 100 persons, covering all aspects of engineering:
Designer - Mechanical - Engine
- Chassis and suspension
- Transmissions
- Systems
- Models
- Composites
- Electrical
- Stress
Race engineer
R&D Engineer - Aerodynamics - Wind tunnel
- CFD
- Structures
- Vehicle dynamics
- Electronics
- Materials
- Hydraulics
- Control systems
- Data systems and analysis
- Engine
- Safety
- Testing and test rigs
Production Engineer - Machine shop
- Composites
- Assembly
- Quality control
- Planning
It is not just the teams that employ large engineering departments. Engine manufacturers, tyre companies, fuel and lubricant companies, the FOCA TV organisation, TAG-Heuer, and all the specialist components suppliers such as carbon brakes, clutches, electronics, data systems etc have significant motorsport departments to support Formula 1 and the other major series.
With such a large and diverse set of technical disciplines involved in all forms of motor racing, it is difficult to generalise about what educational path an aspirant should follow in order to best prepare him/herself for a career in top level motorsport.
The personal attributes needed by an aspiring Formula One designer or engineer are:
Knowledge
Understanding
Experience
Creativity
Ability to work hard consistently
Attitude
They cannot all be gained by education. However, the wrong education can negatively impact any one of these characteristics, reducing the natural level possessed by an individual.
With technical knowledge increasing almost exponentially, much of education is tending to concentrate on the gaining of knowledge at the expense of understanding. A recent survey of undergraduates entering British universities set a fairly simple trigonometry problem for them to solve. More than two thirds of them were unable to calculate the correct answer as they did not know the formula, and were not equipped with the understanding of trigonometry to enable them to work it out from first principles. We are flooded with information and facts via books, multi-media and the Internet. It is important to know how to find and interpret these facts, but it is not so essential to remember them as it is to understand them and their limitations. All too often the CV's of job applicants list all the CAD and CAE software that the person knows how to use, but this merely tells the interviewer how many courses they have been on. Details of software written by the applicant would tell much more about their understanding of the subject involved. Of course, just as a draughtsman used to have to know how to use drawing instruments and how to dimension and tolerance a component, the designer of today must be conversant with CAD and CAE. However they too are just drawing instruments, in the wrong hands they will generate bad designs. A good designer, who has never used CAD, is better than a bad one who knows all the CAD systems. Converting a good designer to CAD is a matter of attending an appropriate course, and practice. Converting a bad designer into a good one is probably impossible.
For this reason it is not really important which technical subjects are studied at school and university, as a person who has a good understanding of the basic technical subjects i.e. maths, physics and chemistry, will be able to learn the essentials of a particular specialist subject and apply his or her fundamental ability to understand a wide range of topics. Rory Byrne did not learn much about aerodynamics or suspension design while studying chemistry, but this did not stop him becoming one of the designers with the best understanding of what makes a Formula 1 car fast.
There are not many science or engineering subjects that are not relevant to motor racing, one way or another. Even biology can lead to sports medicine or human factors research. At the moment, atomic physics and cosmic science are not involved, but you never know�
The quality of a degree or other qualification is important. The institution where studies take place should have a long term reputation for producing quality engineers and scientists. The qualification standards achieved will reflect the effort and dedication of the student. Since the mid-1980's Williams have been employing designers and engineers with good degrees. It is with this sound raw material that they have built up the top technical organisation in Formula One and the quality of their cars reflect this.
The first language of motor racing is English. This does not mean that in order to work in a team such asFerrari it is not beneficial to be able to speak Italian. However, in any discussion or meeting between people from a number of different countries the language used will inevitably be English, and any participant not able to follow the discussion will be at a serious disadvantage. Conference proceedings and technical papers on motor sport topics are normally published in English. Anyone intending a career in motor sport must have a reasonable command of English, especially technical English, in order to be able to integrate with other people in the teams he works for. Some European countries, with a minority language such as Dutch, educate their children from a young age in a number of languages. The result of this education is that they are able to find work almost anywhere in the world.
When it comes to seeking someone for a particular specialist post, applicants with either a Masters Degree - which does reflect understanding and innovative thinking - or relevant experience will be the ones of most interest to the employer. After understanding, experience is the most important attribute. Many complain that they cannot get into motorsport without experience, but that they cannot gain experience without having a job in racing. Not true. Schools and universities that provide opportunities to become involved in real, practical, competitive, automotive projects are numerous. These projects, allied to the right academic courses, combine practical experience with theory, giving meaning to much of the course work. A competitive element sorts out those that like to work under pressure from those less suited. Formula SAE, which has been running since 1981 in the USA involving numerous American universities and thousands of engineering students, is a perfect example of an initiative that is producing many excellent racing car designers and engineers.
(Note: I am sure there is a suitable Japanese example of a University based, automotive competition that could be included here.)
Gaining experience outside college is mostly a test of initiative. Motorsport is broad enough and deep enough to provide many opportunities for those prepared to take them and those who will make sacrifices. All of the top designers, mentioned earlier, gained their experience by becoming involved in racing one way or another and at whatever level they could find. They "just did it", either at their own expense or for no remuneration. If the right qualities are present in an individual, they will be spotted eventually and someone will offer to pay for them.
The lower formulae in motorsport, leading up to Formula 1, vary in the experience they can provide. Some have fairly free technical regulations and provide opportunities to innovate in the design and development of the cars and engines. Unfortunately they are becoming rarer and are being replaced by the one-make formulae such as F3000. These formulae have almost no technical freedom and hence provide limited experience for designers, but they do teach race engineers the precision and discipline necessary to this job well. Karting is not just a school for drivers, it is also a good starting place for enterprising racing engineers, as all the fundamentals of motorsport engineering are there, in their simplest mechanical form.
The old apprenticeship system was not wrong - it imbued young engineers with a feel for materials, processes and the reality of making things work, that generally enriched them as designers and engineers. For example, an engineer who wants to become involved in composite design would benefit enormously from a period spent making composite tools and parts.

This network provides information about jobs that become available, usually long before they are advertised, and is a source of technical intelligence from other sections of motor racing.

BURNT BISCUITS
A very meaningful story reflecting how to think of life.
(quoted from a forwarded email)
BURNT BISCUITS......>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
When I was a kid, my mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at work.
On that evening so long ago, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned biscuits in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his biscuit, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school.
I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him smear butter and jelly on that biscuit and eat every bite!
When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my mom apologize to my dad for burning the biscuits. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned biscuits."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his biscuits burned. He wrapped me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's real tired. And besides - a little burnt biscuit never hurt anyone!" You know, life is full of imperfect things.....and imperfect people. I'm not the best at hardly anything, and I forget birthdays and anniversaries just like everyone else. What I've learned over the years is that learning to accept each others faults - and choosing to celebrate each others differences - is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship.
And that's my prayer for you today. That you will learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life and lay them at the feet of God. Because in the end, He's the only One who will be able to give you a relationship where a burnt biscuit isn't a deal-breaker!
We could extend this to any relationship. In fact, understanding is the base of any relationship, be it a husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! "Don't put the key to your happiness in someone else's pocket - keep it in your own.
" God Bless You..... Now, and Always....So Please pass me a biscuit, and yes, the burnt one will do just fine.!.!.!.!
And PLEASE pass this along to someone who has enriched your life... I just did!

SOYA BEAN - Pros & Cons & Directions
Quoted from a forwarded email.
SOYA BEAN
All of us know that soyabean drink provides good protein to our body... but many of us don't know that there are certain days we should avoid drinking it.
Soya bean drinks are best consumed on hot sunny days when the sun is strong. The soya milk will give lots of nutrients to the body as the body is able to absorb the protein well.
However, avoid the drink when the weather is cloudy or raining.. Taking the drink in those weather, the body will not be able to take in the protein and will result in a disease called 'GOUT' or 'high acidic urine' due to the high protein residue in the body, after a long run.
This disease will cause pain to your knee joints and it will only be in control when you control your food intake of proteins and medication. The pain is unbearable and usually you will have no idea what you have taken to cause the pain.
Food like soya beans, anchovies, broccoli, spinach, peanuts, & n esp animal organs ( i.e. pork liver) etc will have to be avoided to prevent the pain from attacking.
So my friend, pass this to your family, relatives and friends to keep an alert on the pros and cons of soya bean milk and when it is to be taken and to be avoided....

Drinking Tea is healthy
I'm not sure if these are true, but it's worth to share. I received this information through email forwarding.
Are you drinking the right tea?
1. People who use their 'brain' to work or students who study hard day and night.
--- Should drink more Chrysanthemum Tea.
2. People who need a lot of body energy to work or those people who exercise a lot everyday.
--- Should drink Wu Loong Tea.
3. People who travel on a bike or work in dirty and polluted places.
--- Should drink Green Tea.
4. For people who like to sit down all day long and not do anything, even exercising
--- Must drink Green Tea and Flower Tea.
5. People who smoke and drink a lot of alcoholic drinks.
--- Should drink more Green Tea.
6. Carnivore ( i.e. people who must eat meat at least once a day, or feel sickly)
--- Try to drink some Wu Loong Tea.
7. People who go to the washroom too often or not often enough.
--- Should drink more Honey Tea
8. People with high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
--- Wu Loong Tea, Green Tea.
9. Those who work with computers everyday.
--- Need to drink a Lot of Tea (any tea will do).
Whenever you are working with the computer, you should make some tea. Drink it when you are free.
Drinking Tea is healthy, it can protect and prevent the harmful
Ultraviolet light from harming us (when using computer).
Furthermore, it can also relief us when we are tired and help make our body feel fresh again.

Encyclopaedia of mathematics [Google Books]
I was searching for some online encyclopaedia websites, then happened to see this big mathematic ebook.
Can't avoid sharing it here.
It should be useful for those mathematics freaks. Anyway, I haven't gone through the ebook yet. So, I am not sure how good it is.
Enjoy reading...

Variable Valve Timing Systems [Comparison]
Well, VTEC, MIVEC, VVTi, etc. Many people already know about these technologies applying on nowadays cars. I was searching for some information on MIVEC, but came across this piece of writings. It's quoted in a Honda Fit Web Forum. Quite an informative piece of information, though a bit outdated. In case someone looking for a brief overview if these technologies, then I guess below is enough to educate one. Hopefully you don't mind that I quoted the whole thing from somewhere. Of course you can find for more information from many other sources through Google search or other search engines.
******
There are a couple of ways by which car manufacturer's vary the valve timing. The most well known system is the VTEC which is used on some of the Honda engines. Other systems which some of you might not have heard of are:
* VarioCam/VarioCam Plus which is used on some of the Porsche engines,
* MIVEC(Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) which is used on the Mitsubishi engines,
* VVT-i(Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) and now VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift with Intelligence) which is being used on the current Toyota and some Lexus engines,
* VVL(Variable Valve Lift) which is used on the Nissan engines and also featured in the 350Z is the CVTCS (Continuously Variable Valve Timing System)
* VANOS(Variable Onckenwellen Steuerung) which is used in the BMW engines and also the Double VANOS system on the new 3 Series and they are many more similar systems used by manufacturers such as Ford, Lamborghini and even Ferrari.
What do all these Vs have in common? Well, in case you don't already know (or haven't yet guessed despite the monster hint in the article's title), the V stands for valves or, more specifically, variable valve timing.
Before you can appreciate how important valve timing is, you have to understand how it relates to engine operation. Remember that an engine is basically a glorified air pump and, as such, the most effective way to increase horsepower and/or efficiency is to increase an engine's ability to process air. There are a number of ways to do this that range from altering the exhaust system to upgrading the fuel system to installing a less-restrictive air filter. Since an engine's valves play a major role in how air gets in and out of the combustion chamber, it makes sense to focus on them when looking to increase horsepower and efficiency.
This is exactly what Honda, Toyota and BMW and quite a number of other manufacturer's have done in recent years. By using advanced systems to alter the opening and closing of engine valves, they have created more powerful and clean burning engines that require less fuel and are relatively small in displacement.
Before we take a look at each of these variable valve-timing systems, let's rehash how valve timing normally works. Until recently, a manufacturer used one or more camshafts (plus some pushrods, lifters and rocker arms) to open and close an engine's valves. The camshaft/camshafts was turned by a timing chain that connected to the crankshaft. As engine rpm's rose and fell, the crankshaft and camshaft would turn faster or slower to keep valve timing relatively close to what was needed for engine operation.
Unfortunately, the dynamics of airflow through a combustion chamber change radically between 2,000 rpm and 6,000 rpm. Despite the manufacturer's best efforts, there was just no way to maximize valve timing for high and low rpm with a simple crankshaft-driven valve train. Instead, engineers had to develop a "compromise" system that would allow an engine to start and run when pulling out of the driveway but also allow for strong acceleration and highway cruising at 70+ mph. Obviously, they were successful. However, because of the "compromise" nature of standard valve train systems, few engines were ever in their "sweet zone," which resulted in wasted fuel and reduced performance.
Variable valve timing has changed all that. By coming up with a way to alter valve timing between high and low rpm's, Honda, Toyota and BMW and many more manufacturer's can now tune valve operation for optimum performance and efficiency throughout the entire rev range.
Honda was the first to offer what it called VTEC in its Acura-badged performance models like the Integra GS-R and NSX (it has since worked its way into the Prelude and even the lowly Civic). VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. It basically uses two sets of camshaft profiles-one for low and mid-range rpm and one for high rpm operation. An electronic switch shifts between the two profiles at a specific rpm to increase peak horsepower and improve torque. As a VTEC driver, you can both hear and feel the change when the VTEC "kicks in" at higher rpm levels to improve performance. While this system does not offer continuously variable valve timing, it can make the most of high rpm operation while still providing solid drivability at lower rpm levels. Honda is already working on a three-step VTEC system that will further improve performance and efficiency across the engine rpm range.
The camshaft in a pushrod engine is often driven by gears or a short chain. Gear-drives are generally less prone to breakage than belt drives, which are often found in overhead cam engines.
Toyota saw the success Honda was having with VTEC (from both a functional and marketing standpoint) but decided to go a different route. Instead of the on/off system that VTEC employs, Toyota decided it wanted a continuously variable system that would maximize valve timing throughout the rpm range. Dubbed VVTi for Variable Valve Timing with intelligence (Is this a dig at Honda, suggesting their system isn't intelligent?), Toyota uses a hydraulic rather than mechanical system to alter the intake cam's phasing. The main difference from VTEC is that VVTi maintains the same cam profile and alters only when the valves open and close in relation to engine speed. Also, this system works only on the intake valve while VTEC has two settings for the intake and the exhaust valves, which makes for a more dramatic gain in peak power than VVTi can claim.
Ferrari has a really neat way of doing this. The camshafts on some Ferrari engines are cut with a three-dimensional profile that varies along the length of the cam lobe. At one end of the cam lobe is the least aggressive cam profile, and at the other end is the most aggressive. The shape of the cam smoothly blends these two profiles together. A mechanism can slide the whole camshaft laterally so that the valve engages different parts of the cam. The shaft still spins just like a regular camshaft, but by gradually sliding the camshaft laterally as the engine speed and load increase, the valve timing can be optimized.
Several other manufacturers, including Ford, Lamborghini and Porsche have jumped on the cam phasing bandwagon because it is a relatively cheap method of increasing horsepower, torque and efficiency. BMW has also used a cam phasing system, called VANOS (Variable Onckenwellen Steuerung) for several years. Like the other manufacturers, this system only affected the intake cams. But, as of 1999, BMW is offering its Double VANOS system on the new 3 Series. As you might have guessed, Double VANOS manipulates both the intake and exhaust camshafts to provide efficient operation at all rpm's. This helps the new 328i, equipped with a 2.8-liter inline six, develop 193 peak horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque. More impressive than the peak numbers, however, is the broad range of useable power that goes along with this system.
Several engine manufacturers are experimenting with systems that would allow infinite variability in valve timing. For example, imagine that each valve had a solenoid on it that could open and close the valve using computer control rather than relying on a camshaft. With this type of system, you would get maximum engine performance at every RPM. Something to look forward to in the future!
To close these series of articles on camshafts, you can see that as the benefits of variable valve timing used on cams become more apparent to both consumers and manufacturers, you can expect to see it on just about every vehicle sold in the world. I suspect that in five years, variable valve timing will be like ABS or side-impact beams: only really cheap cars won't have it.

There are a couple of ways by which car manufacturer's vary the valve timing. The most well known system is the VTEC which is used on some of the Honda engines. Other systems which some of you might not have heard of are:
* VarioCam/VarioCam Plus which is used on some of the Porsche engines,
* MIVEC(Mitsubishi Innovative Valve timing and lift Electronic Control) which is used on the Mitsubishi engines,
* VVT-i(Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence) and now VVTL-i (Variable Valve Timing and Lift with Intelligence) which is being used on the current Toyota and some Lexus engines,
* VVL(Variable Valve Lift) which is used on the Nissan engines and also featured in the 350Z is the CVTCS (Continuously Variable Valve Timing System)

10 important people awarded Nobel Prizes [History]
This is an interesting listing of 10 most important people awarded Nobel Prices in history.
1. Marie Curie The leading light in a family that between them amassed a remarkable five Nobel Prizes in the fields of Chemistry and Physics. She became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize in 1903 when she was recognised, along with her husband Pierre and Antoine Henri Becquerel, with the Physics award for their research into radiation.
She later became the first person to receive two Nobel Prizes when she was given the Chemistry Prize in 1911 for her discovery of radium and polonium, and her further research into radium. She is among a select group of people to have won prizes in two different fields.
2. Martin Luther King Jr.
The American civil rights activist was the youngest person to be recognised by the Nobel foundation when he won the Peace Prize in 1964, at the age of 35, for his work to end racial discrimination through non-violent means.
Even after his death in 1968 King's legacy lived on, and his image is still used today as a symbol by human rights groups around the world.
3. Albert Einstein
Arguably the world's most famous scientist, Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his services to physics, especially his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect.
During his career he made significant contributions to the world of theoretical physics, among them his famous theories of relativity.
4. Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins
These three scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1962 for their discovery of the "double helix" structure of DNA nine years earlier.
The award was deemed controversial because of the death of Rosalind Franklin, a collaborator with Wilkins, four years earlier. Nobel foundation rules, which state the prizes cannot be given posthumously, meant her work was not recognised.
5. Jean-Paul Sartre
The French existentialist philosopher, writer and literary critic was the first person to turn down a Nobel Prize in 1964 when he declined the Prize for Literature.
Sartre is still recorded as the winner by the Nobel federation for his influential work which was "filled with the spirit of freedom and the quest for truth".
6. Sir Alexander Fleming
Sir Alexander shared the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Ernst Chain and Sir Howard Florey for the discovery of penicillin and its curative effect on infectious diseases.
The Scot made his discovery accidentally when he returned to his untidy laboratory from a holiday to discover a fungus had developed that destroyed the bacteria immediately surrounding it.
7. Hermann Muller
The American won the same prize as Fleming a year later, in 1946, for his discovery of the mutating effects of X-ray radiation.
His research and continued argument against nuclear war made him a figure of great political significance in later years as nuclear weapons became an increasingly controversial subject.
8. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Russian novelist and dissident, who spent time in a Soviet labour camp after writing letters that criticised the communist regime, received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1970.
His most famous novels, The Gulag Archipelago and One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich, for which he received the award, exposed the brutality of the Soviet Union's forced labour camps.
9. The International Committee of the Red Cross
The highest number of Nobel Prize wins goes to the International Committee of the Red Cross with three separate Nobel Peace Prizes.
In 1917 and 1944 the organisation was recognised for its work during the First and Second World Wars, and it was named as a winner again in 1963, along with the League of Red Cross Societies, to mark its 100th anniversary.
10. Sir Clive Granger
The Welsh economist won the 2003 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his methods of analysing economic statistics, which revolutionised the way economists interpret financial data.
His prize was shared with Robert Engle III, for his research in a similar area.

Explanation may not be necessary
Never explain yourself to any one.
Because the person who likes you doesn't need it,
and the person who dislikes you won't believe it.

Differences create differences...
"Different people have different concerns....that's why different people grows up differently...."
I was chatting with a friend, and the topic brought my friend to mention different people have different concerns. It's about his opinion and mine. It's kind of an unopened minded to me, and I thought about the differences in people's lives which created different achievements. That made me added extra words to form above phrase.
Opinion and interest are very important. Everyone has them. There will be majority and minority of these two. The majority will be the pushing force for the results. The results came from the majority opinion and interest. Therefore, a nation, being developed or not, or until whatever extend, to whichever direction, can tell how residence characteristics are. Example can be seen from the taste of the cars. Different countries have different preferences of owning cars. Try to observe and see.

Quote of the day
Today, I bought my lunch from Panda Express, and there's a snack with a piece of paper written with some phrases.
The phrase I got for today is:
"Look forwards the future, but not so far as to miss today."
I find it very meaningful.

Cancer-Fight - JOHN HOPKINS HOSPITAL REPORT
This is a forwarded message that i received recently.
It’s a good information for a healthier life.
Here the message goes:
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
หลังจากหลายปีที่พูดกันว่าการทำคีโมเป็นทางเลือกเดียวที่จะลองและใช้ในการกำจัดโรคมะเร็ง ในที่สุดโรงพยาบาลจอห์นฮอพกินส์ก็เริ่มแนะนำถึงทางเลือกอื่นๆอีก
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins
ข้อมูลล่าสุดเกี่ยวกับโรคมะเร็งจาก รพ.จอห์น ฮอพกินส์
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.
When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
ทุกๆคนมีเซลมะเร็งอยู่ในร่างกาย
เซลมะเร็งเหล่านี้จะไม่ปรากฎด้วยวิธีการตรวจสอบตามมาตรฐาน
จนกระทั่งมันขยายตัวเพิ่มขึ้นในระดับพันล้านเซล
เมื่อแพทย์บอกว่าไม่มีเซลมะเร็งในร่างกายผู้ป่วยโรคมะเร็งที่ได้รับการรักษา
แล้วมันหมายถึงว่าระบบไม่สามารถตรวจสอบเซลมะเร็งได้เพราะว่าจำนวนของมันยังไม่มากพอ จนถึงระดับที่สามารถตรวจจับได้เท่านั้น
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
เซลมะเร็งเกิดขึ้นระหว่าง 6 ถึงมากกว่า 10 ครั้งในช่วงอายุของคนๆหนึ่ง
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
เมื่อระบบภูมิคุ้มกันของร่างกายแข็งแรงเพียงพอเซลมะเร้งจะถูกทำลายและป้องกันไม่ให้เกิดการขยายตัวและกลายเป็นเนื้องอก
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
เมื่อใครก็ตามเป็นมะเร็ง มันกำลังบอกว่าคนๆนั้นมีความบกพร่องหลายประการเกี่ยวกับโภชนาการ
ซึ่งอาจเกิดจากยีน สิ่งแวดล้อม อาหารและปัจจัยอื่นๆในการดำรงชีวิต
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
เพื่อเอาชนะภาวะบกพร่องหลายประการเกี่ยวกับโภชนาการ
การเปลี่ยนแปลงประเภทของอาหารรวมทั้งสารอาหารบางอย่างจะช่วยให้ภูมิคุ้มกันแข็งแรงขึ้น
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
การทำคีโมคือการให้สารเคมีที่มีความเป็นพิษกับเซลมะเร็งที่กำลังเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็ว แต่ขณะเดียวกัน
มันก็จะทำลายเซลที่ดีที่กำลังเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็วในไขกระดูก ทำลายระบบทางเดินอาหาร ฯลฯ และเป็นสาเหตุทำให้อวัยวะบางส่วนถูกทำลาย เช่น ตับ ไต หัวใจ ปอด ฯลฯ
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and !
damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
การฉายรังสีแม้ว่าจะเป็นการทำลายเซลมะเร็ง แต่ก็ทำให้เกิดอาการไหม้ เป็นแผลเป็น และทำลายเซลที่ดี เนื้อเยื่อ และอวัยวะ
8.. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
การบำบัดโดยคีโม และการฉายรังสีมักจะช่วยลดขนาดของเนื้องอกได้ในช่วงแรกๆ
อย่างไรก็ตามถ้าทำไปนานๆพบว่ามักไม่ส่งผลต่อการทำลายเซลเนื้องอก
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
เมื่อร่างกายได้รับสารพิษจากการทำคีโมหรือการฉายรังสีมากเกินไป ระบบภูมิคุ้มกันอาจปรับตัวเข้ากันได้หรือไม่ก็อาจถูกทำลายลง
ดังนั้นคนๆนั้นจึงอาจตกอยู่ในอันตรายจากการติดเชื้อหลายชนิดและทำให้โรคมีคว
ามซับซ้อนยิ่งขึ้น
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
การทำคีโมและการฉายรังสีอาจเป็นสาเหตุทำให้เซลมะเร็งกลายพันธุ์ ดื้อยา
และยากต่อการทำลาย
การผ่าตัดก็อาจเป็นสาเหตุทำให้เซลมะเร็งกระจายไปทั่วร่างกาย
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
วิธีที่ดีที่สุดในการทำสงครามกับมะเร็ง คือการไม่ให้เซลมะเร็งได้รับอาหารเพื่อนำไปใช้ในการขยายตัว
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
อะไรคืออาหารที่ป้อนให้กับเซลมะเร็ง
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells . Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
น้ำตาลคืออาหารของมะเร็ง
การตัดน้ำตาลคือการตัดแหล่งอาหารสำคัญที่จ่ายให้กับเซลมะเร็ง
สารทดแทนน้ำตาลอย่างเช่น ' นิวตร้าสวีต ' ' อีควล ' ' สปูนฟูล ' ฯลฯ
ล้วนทำมาจากสารให้ความหวาน ซึ่งเป็นอันตราย
สารทดแทนซึ่งเป็นกลางที่ดีกว่าคือน้ำผึ้งมานูคา (จากนิวซีแลนด์) หรือน้ำอ้อย
แต่ในปริมาณน้อยๆเท่านั้น เกลือสำเร็จรูปก็ใช้สารเคมีในการฟอกขาว
ควรหันไปเลือกใช้ ' แบรก อมิโน ' หรือเกลือทะเลแทน
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved .
นมเป็นสาเหตุทำให้ร่างกายผลิตเมือก โดยเฉพาะในระบบทางเดินอาหาร
เซลมะเร็งจะได้รับอาหารได้ดีในสภาวะที่มีเมือก
การใช้นมถั่วเหลืองชนิดไม่หวานแทนนม จะทำให้เซลมะเร็งไม่ได้รับอาหาร
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
เซลมะเร็งเติบโตได้ดี ในภาวะแงดล้อมที่เป็นกรด
อาหารจำพวกเนื้อจะสร้างสภาวะกรดขึ้น
ดังนั้นจึงควรหันไปรับประทานปลาจะดีที่สุด
รองลงไปคือรับประทานไก่แทนเนื้อและหมู ในเนื้ออาจมียาฆ่าเชื้อ
ฮอร์โมนที่สร้างการเจริญเติบโตในสัตว์ และเชื้อปรสิตบางประเภทตกค้างอยู่
ซึ่งล้วนเป็นอันตราย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งกับคนที่เป็นมะเร็ง
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try
and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
อาหารที่ประกอบด้วยผักสด 80% และน้ำผลไม้ พืชจำพวกหัว เมล็ด ถั่วเปลือกแข็ง
และผลไม้จำนวนเล็กน้อย จะช่วยทำให้ร่างกายมีสภาวะเป็นด่าง อาหารอีก 20%
อาจได้มาจากการทำอาหารร่วมกับพืชจำพวกถั่ว
น้ำผักสดจะให้เอ็นไซม์ซึ่งสามารถดูดซึมได้ง่ายและซึมทราบสู่ระดับเซลภายใน 15
นาที เพื่อบำรุงร่างกายและส่งเสริมการเจริญเติบโตของเซลที่ดี
เพื่อให้ได้เอ็นไซม์ในการสร้างเซลที่ดี ให้พยายามดื่มน้ำผักสด
(ผักส่วนใหญ่รวมทั้งถั่วที่มีหน่อหรือต้นอ่อน) และรับประทานผักสดดิบ 2-3
ครั้งต่อวัน เอ็นไซม์จะถูกทำลายได้ง่ายที่อุณหภูมิ 140 องศา F ( ประมาณ 40
องศา C)
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled waste! r is acidic, avoid it.
ให้หลีกเลี่ยงกาแฟ น้ำชา และช๊อกโกแลต ซึ่งมีคาเฟอีนสูง
ชาเขียวถือเป็นทางเลือกที่ดีและมีคุณสมบัติในการต้านมะเร็ง
น้ำดื่มให้เลือกดื่มน้ำบริสุทธิ์ หรือที่ผ่านการกรอง เพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงท๊อกซินและโลหะหนักในน้ำประปา น้ำกลั่นมักมีสภาพเป็นกรด ให้หลีกเลี่ยง
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
โปรตีนจากเนื้อจะย่อยยาก และต้องการเอ็นไซม์หลายชนิดมาช่วยในการย่อย
เนื้อสัตว์ที่ไม่สามารถย่อยได้ในระบบทางเดินอาหารจะเกิดการบูดเน่าและมีความ
เป็นพิษมากขึ้น
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
ผนังของเซลมะเร็งจะมีโปรตีนห่อหุ้มไว้
การงดหรือการรับประทานเนื้อสัตว์น้อยลง จะทำให้มีเอ็นไซม์เหลือมากพอมาใช้โจมตีกำแพงโปรตีนที่ห่อหุ้มเซลมะเร็ง และช่วยให้เซลของร่างกายสามารถกำจัดเซลมะเร็งได้ดีขึ้น
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-essence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the body's own killer cells to destroy cancer cells. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
สารอาหารบางอย่างอาจช่วยเพิ่มภูมิคุ้มกัน ( สาร IP6 [inositol hexaphosphate
หรือ phytic acid], สาร Flor-essence, สาร Essiac, สารแอนตี้-อ๊อกซิแดนส์, วิตามิน, เกลือแร่, EFAs ฯลฯ)
เพื่อช่วยให้เซลของร่างกายสามารถกำจัดเซลมะเร็งได้ดีขึ้น สารอาหารอื่นๆเช่น วิตามินอี เป็นที่ทราบกันดีว่าทำให้เกิดการตายลงของเซลหรือกำหนดระยะเวลาการตายของเซลซึ่งเป็นกลไกธรรมชาติของร่างกายในการกำจัดเซลที่ถูกทำลายซึ่งไม่เป็นที่ต้องการ หรือไม่มีประโยชน์ออกไป
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor.. Anger, unforgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
มะเร็งเป็นโรคที่สัมพันธ์กับจิตใจ ร่างกาย และจิตวิญญาณการป้องกันเชิงรุกและการคิดในเชิงบวกจะช่วยให้เราสามารถอยู่รอดจากการทำสงครามกับมะเร็ง... ความโกรธ การไม่รู้จักให้อภัย และความขมขื่นใจ จะทำให้ร่างกายเกิดความตึงเครียดและมีสภาวะเป็นกรดเพิ่มขึ้น ให้เรียนรู้ที่จะมีความรักและจิตวิญญาณแห่งการให้อภัย เรียนรู้ที่จะผ่อนคลายและมีความสุขกับชีวิต
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level. Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
เซลมะเร็งไม่สามารถเจริญเติบโตได้ในสภาวะที่มีอ๊อกซิเจนเป็นจำนวนมาก
การออกกำลังกายทุกวันและการหายใจลึกๆจะช่วยให้่ร่างกายได้รับอ๊อกซิเจนเพิ่มขึ้นลงไปจนระดับเซล
การบำบัดด้วยอ๊อกซิเจนถือเป็นวิธีการอีกอย่างที่ใช้ในการทำลายเซลมะเร็ง
It’s a good information for a healthier life.
Here the message goes:
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY .
หลังจากหลายปีที่พูดกันว่าการทำคีโมเป็นทางเลือกเดียวที่จะลองและใช้ในการกำจัดโรคมะเร็ง ในที่สุดโรงพยาบาลจอห์นฮอพกินส์ก็เริ่มแนะนำถึงทางเลือกอื่นๆอีก
Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins
ข้อมูลล่าสุดเกี่ยวกับโรคมะเร็งจาก รพ.จอห์น ฮอพกินส์
1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion.
When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
ทุกๆคนมีเซลมะเร็งอยู่ในร่างกาย
เซลมะเร็งเหล่านี้จะไม่ปรากฎด้วยวิธีการตรวจสอบตามมาตรฐาน
จนกระทั่งมันขยายตัวเพิ่มขึ้นในระดับพันล้านเซล
เมื่อแพทย์บอกว่าไม่มีเซลมะเร็งในร่างกายผู้ป่วยโรคมะเร็งที่ได้รับการรักษา
แล้วมันหมายถึงว่าระบบไม่สามารถตรวจสอบเซลมะเร็งได้เพราะว่าจำนวนของมันยังไม่มากพอ จนถึงระดับที่สามารถตรวจจับได้เท่านั้น
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
เซลมะเร็งเกิดขึ้นระหว่าง 6 ถึงมากกว่า 10 ครั้งในช่วงอายุของคนๆหนึ่ง
3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours.
เมื่อระบบภูมิคุ้มกันของร่างกายแข็งแรงเพียงพอเซลมะเร้งจะถูกทำลายและป้องกันไม่ให้เกิดการขยายตัวและกลายเป็นเนื้องอก
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
เมื่อใครก็ตามเป็นมะเร็ง มันกำลังบอกว่าคนๆนั้นมีความบกพร่องหลายประการเกี่ยวกับโภชนาการ
ซึ่งอาจเกิดจากยีน สิ่งแวดล้อม อาหารและปัจจัยอื่นๆในการดำรงชีวิต
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
เพื่อเอาชนะภาวะบกพร่องหลายประการเกี่ยวกับโภชนาการ
การเปลี่ยนแปลงประเภทของอาหารรวมทั้งสารอาหารบางอย่างจะช่วยให้ภูมิคุ้มกันแข็งแรงขึ้น
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
การทำคีโมคือการให้สารเคมีที่มีความเป็นพิษกับเซลมะเร็งที่กำลังเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็ว แต่ขณะเดียวกัน
มันก็จะทำลายเซลที่ดีที่กำลังเติบโตอย่างรวดเร็วในไขกระดูก ทำลายระบบทางเดินอาหาร ฯลฯ และเป็นสาเหตุทำให้อวัยวะบางส่วนถูกทำลาย เช่น ตับ ไต หัวใจ ปอด ฯลฯ
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and !
damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
การฉายรังสีแม้ว่าจะเป็นการทำลายเซลมะเร็ง แต่ก็ทำให้เกิดอาการไหม้ เป็นแผลเป็น และทำลายเซลที่ดี เนื้อเยื่อ และอวัยวะ
8.. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
การบำบัดโดยคีโม และการฉายรังสีมักจะช่วยลดขนาดของเนื้องอกได้ในช่วงแรกๆ
อย่างไรก็ตามถ้าทำไปนานๆพบว่ามักไม่ส่งผลต่อการทำลายเซลเนื้องอก
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
เมื่อร่างกายได้รับสารพิษจากการทำคีโมหรือการฉายรังสีมากเกินไป ระบบภูมิคุ้มกันอาจปรับตัวเข้ากันได้หรือไม่ก็อาจถูกทำลายลง
ดังนั้นคนๆนั้นจึงอาจตกอยู่ในอันตรายจากการติดเชื้อหลายชนิดและทำให้โรคมีคว
ามซับซ้อนยิ่งขึ้น
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
การทำคีโมและการฉายรังสีอาจเป็นสาเหตุทำให้เซลมะเร็งกลายพันธุ์ ดื้อยา
และยากต่อการทำลาย
การผ่าตัดก็อาจเป็นสาเหตุทำให้เซลมะเร็งกระจายไปทั่วร่างกาย
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.
วิธีที่ดีที่สุดในการทำสงครามกับมะเร็ง คือการไม่ให้เซลมะเร็งได้รับอาหารเพื่อนำไปใช้ในการขยายตัว
WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON:
อะไรคืออาหารที่ป้อนให้กับเซลมะเร็ง
a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells . Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt.
น้ำตาลคืออาหารของมะเร็ง
การตัดน้ำตาลคือการตัดแหล่งอาหารสำคัญที่จ่ายให้กับเซลมะเร็ง
สารทดแทนน้ำตาลอย่างเช่น ' นิวตร้าสวีต ' ' อีควล ' ' สปูนฟูล ' ฯลฯ
ล้วนทำมาจากสารให้ความหวาน ซึ่งเป็นอันตราย
สารทดแทนซึ่งเป็นกลางที่ดีกว่าคือน้ำผึ้งมานูคา (จากนิวซีแลนด์) หรือน้ำอ้อย
แต่ในปริมาณน้อยๆเท่านั้น เกลือสำเร็จรูปก็ใช้สารเคมีในการฟอกขาว
ควรหันไปเลือกใช้ ' แบรก อมิโน ' หรือเกลือทะเลแทน
b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved .
นมเป็นสาเหตุทำให้ร่างกายผลิตเมือก โดยเฉพาะในระบบทางเดินอาหาร
เซลมะเร็งจะได้รับอาหารได้ดีในสภาวะที่มีเมือก
การใช้นมถั่วเหลืองชนิดไม่หวานแทนนม จะทำให้เซลมะเร็งไม่ได้รับอาหาร
c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.
เซลมะเร็งเติบโตได้ดี ในภาวะแงดล้อมที่เป็นกรด
อาหารจำพวกเนื้อจะสร้างสภาวะกรดขึ้น
ดังนั้นจึงควรหันไปรับประทานปลาจะดีที่สุด
รองลงไปคือรับประทานไก่แทนเนื้อและหมู ในเนื้ออาจมียาฆ่าเชื้อ
ฮอร์โมนที่สร้างการเจริญเติบโตในสัตว์ และเชื้อปรสิตบางประเภทตกค้างอยู่
ซึ่งล้วนเป็นอันตราย โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งกับคนที่เป็นมะเร็ง
d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment.
About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try
and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).
อาหารที่ประกอบด้วยผักสด 80% และน้ำผลไม้ พืชจำพวกหัว เมล็ด ถั่วเปลือกแข็ง
และผลไม้จำนวนเล็กน้อย จะช่วยทำให้ร่างกายมีสภาวะเป็นด่าง อาหารอีก 20%
อาจได้มาจากการทำอาหารร่วมกับพืชจำพวกถั่ว
น้ำผักสดจะให้เอ็นไซม์ซึ่งสามารถดูดซึมได้ง่ายและซึมทราบสู่ระดับเซลภายใน 15
นาที เพื่อบำรุงร่างกายและส่งเสริมการเจริญเติบโตของเซลที่ดี
เพื่อให้ได้เอ็นไซม์ในการสร้างเซลที่ดี ให้พยายามดื่มน้ำผักสด
(ผักส่วนใหญ่รวมทั้งถั่วที่มีหน่อหรือต้นอ่อน) และรับประทานผักสดดิบ 2-3
ครั้งต่อวัน เอ็นไซม์จะถูกทำลายได้ง่ายที่อุณหภูมิ 140 องศา F ( ประมาณ 40
องศา C)
e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled waste! r is acidic, avoid it.
ให้หลีกเลี่ยงกาแฟ น้ำชา และช๊อกโกแลต ซึ่งมีคาเฟอีนสูง

Manager VS Leader
The differences between a Manager and a Leader:
The manager drives people, the leader coaches them.
The manager depends on authority, the leader on good will.
The manager inspires fear, the leader inspires enthusiasm.
The manager says “I”, the leader says “WE”.
The manager says “Get here on time”, the leader gets there ahead of time.
The manager fixed blame for the breakdown, the leader fixes the breakdown.
The manager knows how it is done, the leader shows how.
The manager says “Go”, the leader says “Let’s go”.
The manager uses people, the leader develops them.
The manager sees today, the leader also looks at tomorrow.
The manager commands, the leader asks.
The manager never has enough time, the leader makes time for things that count.
The manager is concerned with things, the leader is concerned with people.
The manager works hard to produce, the leader works hard to help people to produce.
The manager takes the credit, the leader gives it.
So, do you want to be a manager or leader?
Be a manager if you want to survive alone.
Be a leader if you want to live along with your people together.

Quotes - Warren Buffet
Few days ago, I received forward email, with a presentation slides attached.
It’s a presentation slides related to Mr. Warren Buffet.
The slides brief his life and his principles.
According to the slide, he’s the 2nd richest man.
He has many principles, thinking, and attitudes that I think worth to be example models.
His advices and mind sets are just too meaningful to me. I believe, his advices are practical.
Here are the quotes from the slides that I would like to share:
***
Don’t buy more than what you “really need”.
You are what you are.
Always think how you can accomplish things economically.
Assign the right people to right job. (for bosses)
Make goals and make sure people focus on them.
Don’t try to show off. Just be yourself and do what you enjoy doing.
Warren Buffet’s advices:
- Stay away from credit cards (bank loan) and invest in yourself.
- Money does create man but it is the man who created money.
- Live your life as simple as possible.
- Don’t do what others say, just listen to them, but do what you feel good.
- Don’t go on brand name; just wear those things in which you feel comfortable.
- Don’t waste your money on unnecessary things; just spend on them who really in need rather.
- After all it’s your life then why give chance to others to rule your life.
The happiest people DONOT necessarily have the BEST of all. They simply APPRECIATE what they find in their way.
