DO YOU KNOW ABOUT "PARADIGM SHIFT"?
Three things are required to improve one self. They are Knowledge, Skill and Attitude.
Knowledge is simply knowing what to do, skill is simply knowing how to do, and attitude simply is wanting to do. Out of the three the biggest impact comes from developing the right attitude. Our attitudes are influenced by our past experiences and more so beliefs. The greatest change in attitude takes place when we experience a Paradigm shift. Paradigm shift is simply an occurrence and the only way is to experience it. It is simply thinking from another point of view and accepting that there could be many points of view on the same issue.
Here is a story to illustrate. What you experience when you finish reading is Paradigm shift.
Imagine you are in
You buy a box, put them in your traveling bag. You patiently search for an available seat so you can sit down and enjoy your cookies.
Finally you find a seat next to a gentleman. You reach down into your traveling bag and pull out your box of cookies.
As you do so, you notice that the gentleman starts watching you intensely. He stares as you open the box and his eyes follow your hand as you pick up the cookie and bring it to your mouth. Just then he reaches over and takes one of your cookies from the box, and eats it!
You're more than a little surprised at this.. Actually, you are at a loss for words.
Not only does he take one cookie, but he alternates with you. For every cookie you take, he takes one.
Now, what's your immediate impression of this guy?
Crazy? Greedy? He's got some nerve?!
Meanwhile you both continue eating the cookies until there is just one left. To your surprise, the man reaches over and takes it.
But then he does something unexpected. He breaks it in half, and gives half to you. After he's finished with his half he gets up, and without a word, he leaves.
You think to yourself, "Did this really happen?"
You're left sitting there dumbfounded and still hungry.. So you go back to the kiosk and buy another box of cookies
You then return to your seat and begin opening your new box of cookies at that time you glance down into your traveling bag.
Sitting there in your bag is your original box of cookies - still unopened.
Only then do you realize that when you reached down earlier, you had reached into the other man's bag, and grabbed his box of cookies by mistake.
Now what do you think of the man?Generous? Tolerant?
You've just experienced a profound paradigm shift.
You're seeing things from a new point of view. Now, think of this story as it relates to your life.
Seeing things from a new point of view can be very enlightening. Is it time to change your point of view?
Think outside the box. Be open to suggestions. Things may not always be what they appear to be

RARE COINCIDENCE
Hi,
Try this......
Before start with this, juz bring WTC crash in your mind.

Just change the font style to "Wingdings".
See the result and u' ll be amazed.
Just share your excitements....
Tin tinti teeeennn......

கணித மேதையின் வியத்தகு ஆளுமை
Ramanujam's proof!!.... can u find any flaws?? Can U Prove 3=2??
This seems to be an anomaly or whatever u call in mathematics.
It seems, Ramanujam found it but never disclosed it during his life time and that it has been found from his dairy.
See this illustration:
-6 = -6
9-15 = 4-10
adding 25/4 to both sides:
9-15+(25/4) = 4-10+(25/4 )
Changing the order
9+(25/4)-15 = 4+(25/4)-10
(this is just like : a square + b square - two a b = (a-b)square.)
Here a = 3, b=5/2 for L.H.S and a =2, b=5/2 for R.H.S.
So it can be expressed as follows:
(3-5/2)(3-5/2) = (2-5/2)(2-5/2)
Taking positive square root on both sides:
3 - 5/2 = 2 - 5/2
3 = 2

Lyndon Johnson, who succeeded Kennedy, was born in1908.
John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in 1839.
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939.
Both assassins were known by their three names.
Both names are composed of fifteen letters.
Now hang on to your seat
Kennedy was shot in a car called "
Booth and Oswald were assassinated before their trials.
And here's the "kicker":
A week before
A week before Kennedy was shot, he was with Marilyn Monroe.
and
Kennedy was shot from a warehouse and the assassin ran to a theater.
Creepy, huh? :
