We all know what positivity is and the

power it has but the problem is practicality. We all are good in theory but practicality is what we lack. And today I’ll help you to put it into practice. You do not need to defeat anything, so that you can have peace of mind, improved health, and a never-ceasing flow of energy. In short your life can be full of joy and energy. You just need to believe in yourself. Have faith in your abilities. Formulate and

hold on in your mind a mental picture of yourself succeeding and never think of failing and doubt the reality of that mental image. Repeat these words several times with faith: I can do all the things through God who strengthened me. You all must have come across unavoidable things or circumstances in your lives. And it all depends on how we face it. If we take it as a challenge and face it positively surely the end results will be positive, and that is what exactly the power of positivity is. Now as children or adults, we may come across many challenging uncomfortable situations in our lives but if we try to run away or brood over it or find excuses to

escape certainly the situation will not leave us but our lives will become even more difficult.Life challenges aren’t here to break us, rather these challenges are here to mould, refine and make us into all that we were intended to become. We are managing our families, our jobs and many more tasks simultaneously. I don’t say it’s a quiet easy task. Added to that we have many ups and downs in our own personal lives. Maybe the sickness of our child, or death

of our dear ones or some financial losses or health problems. But that should not scare you or break you. Remember we can overcome all challenges.Give yourself time to heal from a challenge you’ve just dealt with. Letting go off hurt doesn’t happen overnight. It happens in slow, small steps forward plus a few steps backwards at times. Be gentle and be patient with yourself. Tell yourself, I can overcome this hour of darkness for at the end of the tunnel you could see the bright

þ D®n A½b¼ew.

sunshine shinning. We must keep reminding ourselves that this tunnel of darkness is not our place and we need to get out of it. This very thought will help us fight all odds and enable us to achieve our goals. Remember getting scared and trying to avoid will land us nowhere.Everything you need to be positive is already inside you. You all are smart, talented, beautiful, healthy and fit, the best humans on this earth. It’s all there in you and you just need to remind yourself this very thing. Don’t wait for others to light your fire. Don’t wait for an opportunity to come your way. Don’t wait for that special moment to start. You have your own matches. So light up your light now. This is the time to tell youself and brace up to face everything. Don’t worry about the consequences. Believe in yourself.So our strength is in our minds. Today we need to challenge our self and think positively to achieve what we couldn't do all these years. And you’ll see wonders happening.I would like to remind you with what Mahatma Gandhi

said about positive thinking.....

• Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words,

• Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior,

• Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits,

• Keep your habits positive because your habits becomes your values,

And so my dear friends have you all buckled up your belts to enter into the world of positivity from this very moment? I hope you all understood that lifes, success, achievement is all not that easy. It all needs hard work, patience determination and strong will power to face all odds. Surely success and happiness are at your door step. Identify your own positive traits and characteristics, and recognize your accomplishments, as only you could change your own life. No one can do it for you. So you need to tell yourselves now that come what may I will do my best and you’ll witness what this power of positivity can do in you.

The Pearl

ONCE long ago, a hungry cock was pecking the ground for some food when he came upon something shiny.“What’s this ?!” said the cock thinking it was a corn of barley. He bent closer to inspect it.“It’s only a pearl,” said the cock aloud disgustedly.“A pearl ? What’s that Papa?” asked his youngest chick who had accompanied him. “Does it taste like barley?”“No. It’s a gemstone treasured by humans, but of no value to us,” said the cock walking away.

Moral of the story: Things are precious only to those who value them.

GUESS : Ask a friend to think of a number, any number at all. S/he should not tell you what it is.

Now s/he has to multiply it by 4, add 5 to the product and multiply the resulting number by 2. Then s/he has

to add 2 to the product and tell you what the number is. When she/he tells you the number you will instantly be able

to tell him the number she/he started out with.

How?This mathemagical puzzle was created by the Italian

mathematician. Lennardo Fibonacci (d. 1250). A man enters an orchard that has seven gates and takes a certain number of

apples. While leaving the orchard, he gives the guard at the first gate half the apples and one apple more; to the guard at the second gate, he gives one half of the remaining apples and one apple more. He is equally

generous to the other five guards, giving each of them half the apples he had with him at each gate, and one apple more.

When he leaves the orchard, he has only one apple left.

How many apples did he gather in the orchard?

In theLion’s Den

The King of Babylon, King Belshazzar, died, and

Darius the Mede became the new king.King Darius decided to appoint a hundred and twenty supervisors and governors to help him rule over his kingdom. And he made Daniel and two others their boss.The other supervisors and governors didn’t like it. Daniel worked harder, and did much better work than any of them. The King was so impressed he was going to put Daniel in charge of the

whole kingdom.“We have to do something about this Daniel,” the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, the all the other officials said to themselves. But no matter how hard they looked, they couldn’t find anything wrong with Daniel because Daniel was completely faithful and honest in everything he did.“Maybe we can use his religion against him,” they said.And so they came up with a devious plan.They came before king

Darius one day and said, ‘King Darius! May you live forever! (although each one of them was probably really thinking, ‘May you die tomorrow- so I can become King!’). All of us who help to rule your kingdom; the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all the other officials, think that it would be very wise of you to issue a command that for thirty days no one should be able to ask for anything from any God or man except you, O Great and Might King. And if anyone should ask for anything from any God or man besides you, they should be thrown into the lions’ den.”King Darius accepted the idea of the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all the other officials, and signed the decree.It became a law of the Medes and Persians that could not be changed.Daniel heard the King’s decree, but still, the next

morning he went to his window to pray, just as he did every morning, noon and night.This was exactly what the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all the other officials were looking for.They went straight to the king.“Your Majesty, may you live forever!” they said.”Didn’t you sign a decree that said for thirty days no one should ask for anything from any god or man except you, O Great and Might

King? And if anyone should ask for anything from god or man besides you, they should be thrown into the lions’ den?”“Yes,” said the king. “It is a law of the Medes and Persians that cannot be changed.”Then the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all other officials said, “We saw Daniel praying to his God this very morning! He did not respect you or your order.”When king Darius heard this news he was very sad. He knew that honest man, who served him faithfully. And so he worked into the full night, trying to find some way to rescue Daniel. But he couldn’t.The supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all the other officials came back the next morning and demanded, “Your Majesty, you know a law of the Medes and Persians can never be changed so Daniel needs to he thrown in the lions' den Which was just what they wanted all along?And so, the king had no choice but to have Daniel thrown into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May the God whom you

serve so faithfully save you!”And then the king’s men grabbed Daniel and threw him into a pit filled with pacing, roaring, hot-breathed lions.They rolled a stone over the mouth of the den, and the King sealed it with his royal seal, so that no one could move the stone and rescue Daniel.That night, the king could not sleep at all. The first thing the next morning, just as the sun was beginning to rise, the king ran to the lions’ den.He shouted out, “Daniel! Servant of the living God! Was the God you serve so faithfully able to save you from the lions’ jaws?“Daniel....?”“May your majesty live forever!” Daniel called from inside the lions’ den. “God sent his angel to shut the lions mouths all through the night. God has saved me so that you will know that I am innocent, and I have served you faithfully!”The king was so happy immediately he ordered his

One novelty in the English language is the formation of combination words. These words are coined by combining two or three words. They become popular as they facilitate expression apart from being compact and precise. For example, brunch is a meal that one eats late morning. It is a combination of two words, namely, breakfast and lunch. You may know some of these:

servants to pull Daniel from the lions’ den. There wasn’t even a scratch on him. Everyone saw that Daniel had trusted God, and God had saved him.And then the king sent for all the supervisors, the governors, the lieutenant governors, and all the other officials who had accused Daniel. They were in trouble now! Right then and there, the king had them arrested and thrown into the lions den.The lions were not so friendly this time. Then king Darius issued a new decree. It said,“Greetings, people of all nations, races, and languages!I, King Darius, decree that all people everywhere should honour and fear the God that Daniel serves so faithfully.He is the living God who rules for all time.His kingdom will never end, and his power will last forever.He rescues and the saves,He can do mighty things, for he has saved Daniel from The lions’ jaws!Once again, Daniel was faithful. And God was able to show us that he is always able to do great and wonderful things.

Little Red

Riding Hood

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Red

Riding Hood. She was very beautiful. She always wore a red dress with a red cap. One day, her mother told her, “Take this basket of fruits to your grandmother. She is very sick. Take care on your

way and do not talk to any strangers.” Little Red Riding Hood set off in the woods on a bright morning. The sun was shining bright. The sky was clear. The air was cool and gentle wind was blowing. Birds were singing sweetly.

Story

34

2019 amv

Red Riding Hood saw colourful butterflies, beautiful flowers, red, pink, yellow daffodils and the blue sky. She was dancing and singing merrily on the way. All of a sudden, a wolf sprang up and asked her, “Where are you going, pretty girl?” Red Riding Hood forgot her mom’s advice and replied, “I am going to see my grandmother who lives in the woods.” The wolf was very wicked. He reached the grandmother’s house before Red Riding Hood.He knocked of the door and the grandmother said, “Come in dear, the door is open.” The wolf entered the house and locked up the Grandma in the cupboard. He then, put her clothes and got into her bed to pretend to be a grandmother.

When Red Riding Hood arrived, she knocked the door and came in. She wished her grandmother good health and asked in surprise:“Oh, Grandma! What big eyes you have?”“All the better to see you with,” said the wolf who was disguised as Grandma.“Oh, Grandma! What big ears you have?”“All the better to hear you with,” said the wolf.“Oh, Grandma! What big hands you have?”“All the better to hug you with,” said the wolf.“Oh, Grandma! What big teeth you have?”“All the better to eat you with,” said the wolf. And an saying, this wolf jumped up to catch little Red Riding Hood. She screamed and shouted, “Help.” A wood-cutter heard her voice and came running to Grandma’s cottage. He chopped off the wolf with his axe and saved little Red Riding Hood and her grand mother. Little Red Riding Hood learnt a lesson and from that day onwards, always obeyed her mother.

The frog was an ancient Egyptian symbol, later adopted

by the conquering Romans. The frog-headed goddess

Hekt was the goddess of birth and fertility,

and later also of resurrection.

The Discerning Boy

A man with his donkey carrying a big sack of

wheat was on his way to the market.After a little while he was tired and they rested under a tree. When he woke up from

his nap he could not see the donkey and started searching for the donkey everywhere.On the way he met a boy. He asked the boy, “Have you seen my donkey?”The boy asked, “Is the donkey’s

left eye blind, his right foot lame and is he carrying a load of wheat?”The man was happy and said, “Yes, exactly! Where have you seen it?”The boy answered, “I haven’t seen it.”This made the man very angry and he took the boy to the village chief for punishment.The judge asked, “Dear boy, If you had not seen the donkey, how could you describe it?”The boy answered, “I saw the tracks on the right were different from the tracks on the

left. From this I understood that the donkey that passed there was limping. And the grass on the right side of the road was eaten but the grass on the left was not. From that I understood that is left eye was blind. There were wheat seeds scattered on the ground and I understood that he must have been carrying a load of wheat.”The judge understood the boy’s cleverness and asked the man to use his own discernment to find out the donkey.

Pencil : I’m Sorry.Eraser : For What? You didn’t do anything wrong.Pencil : I’m sorry because you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a mistake, you’re always there to erase it. But as you make my mistakes Vanish, you lose a part of yourself. You get smaller and smaller each time.Eraser : That’s true. But I don’t really mind. You see, I was made to do this. I was made to help you whenever you do something wrong. Even though one day, I know I’ll be gone and you’ll replace me with new one, I’m actually happy with my job. So please, stop worrying. I hate seeing you sad.
