STOP THINKING TINY THOUGHTS

            "Nurture your mind with great thoughts, for you will never go any higher than you think."

This words are profound. It is not what you are that is holding you back but what you think you are not.

It is what is going in your inner world that is preventing you from having all that you want in your life. The moment you really understand this insight and set about ridding your mind of all its limiting thoughts, you will see almost immediate improvement in your circumstances.

If you are not pursuing your dreams, you are fueling your limitations. Too many people lead small lives. Many of us die at twenty and are buried at eighty. Remember nothing can stop a person who refuses to stop. We dont fail, we simply give up trying. And most of the limitations that are holding you back from your dreams are self imposed.So shed the shackles of 'Tiny Thinking', have the bravery to dream bigh for a change and accept that failure is not an option for you,

"It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that they are difficult"

Is HOOKAH SMOKING SAFE ???????

Hookah smoking is a growing trend among young people. This practice of smoking through an oversized pipe is rapidly gaining a following as hookah bars open up and cafes and coffee shops dedicate special areas for hookah devotees to enjoy a leisurely smoke. Originating in India, the practice of hookah smoking has spread to the Middle Eastern countries and is now growing in the United States as young people look for an alternative to smoking cigarettes. Most people who smoke through a hookah pipe use flavored tobaccos known as shisha. These tobaccos are enhanced with molasses and fruit flavorings before being added to the pipe. Hookah smoking is often portrayed as being healthier than smoking traditional cigarettes. Is this true? What are the potential risks and side effects of hookah smoking?
 
Most of the people think hookah smoking as a safer alternative to other forms of smoking because the hookah smoke is filtered through water before it is inhaled. But recent studies have found that smoking from a hookah is just as dangerous as smoking a cigarette.
                  HOOKAH SMOKING involves more nicotine than cigarette smoking because of the massive volume of smoke, smokers inhale during hookah smoking.
                       There is a strong belief that the water in the hookah filters out all the “bad stuff” in the tobacco smoke, but it’s completely a nuisance. A study done by the WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION showed that one hookah session of a mere few hours can deliver as much smoke into your lungs as 100 cigarettes. In fact, hookah smokers get more smoke than cigarette smokers, and here’s an answer to this question:
                      Cigarette smoke is uncomfortably hot if a smoker inhales it deeply. Hookah smoke has been cooled by its passage through the water. The smoker has to inhale hard to pull the smoke through the hookah. By this the hookah smoke goes deep to the lungs. In to the duration of a typical hookah session, the smoke deposits in huge volumes into the lungs

What Hookah Smoking Does To Your Health?

 he American Lung Association (ALA) identifies hookah smoking as a major health risk. The following are the health risks of hookah smoking:

• Lung cancer, oral cancer
• Gastric and esophageal carcinoma
• Impaired pulmonary function
• Heart disease
• Reduced fertility
• Low birth weight of the babies
• Hepatitis or herpes (caused due to the sharing of hookah among smokers)

A cigarette may last for about 5 minutes, but a normal hookah session would last for 30 minutes. According to a study, a single hookah session may deliver the following:

• 36 times the tar produced by cigarette
• 1.7 times the nicotine produced by cigarette
• 8.3 times the carbon monoxide produced by cigarette
• 1 hour of hookah session can deliver 50 liters of smoke whereas a single cigarette delivers only 0.5 liters of smoke.   

What is the bottom line for hookah smokers who think it as a better substitute to cigarette smoking?

Hookah smoking is not a harmless form of smoking. It can be as dangerous as cigarettes. The long-term consequence of hookah smoking would be increased dependency. Some youngsters, who innocently try hookah as a safe means of smoking, can get addicted. They can further switch to cigarettes as they can be carried around easily. All this proves that hookah smoking cannot be dismissed as safe alternative. Hence, it always helps to stay away from a hookah.
Almost every method of making smoking safer is a mere nonsense. There is only one way to totally reduce the chances of fatal diseases caused by smoking, is to quit smoking completely.

I still love you !!!!!

I still remember the time in my life when I feel in deep love with a woman. She was young, strong, beautiful, and intelligent. I was in my senior year while she was only a sophomore. I was her Prince in Shining Armor. I saved her when she needed me, I was the only one she told her deep secrets to. I feel in love with her. Her foster parents were not supportive and hated my guts, why? I don’t even know. I still remember the night when I missed her. I jogged three miles up hill at 2:00AM in the cold. Attempting to throw rocks at her window, text messages, seaking in and just slept in the same bed holding hands. At once I felt I was going to be with her forever. We got engaged. I made sure for over a time that I was making the right choice. I tried my best to sort things out. She was my only one true love.

The second to the last time I saw her I wanted to get off the city bus by myself and take a bath. I believed I was going to break-up with her that day, I thought to myself and couldn’t do it. She wanted to come home with me and I said no, I need to take a bath and relax, I’m really stressed out. She said, “Okay. . . . “ I got off at my spot and went home in terrible guilt at what I have done. Five minute after turning on the bathtub I received a call from her. My Brother stated she was crying, I freaked out and called her back. She asked to come to my apartment because her nose was bleeding, I said of course! Don’t be silly and ask that type of question, just come over. She was crying uncontrollably. I ran out to find her, I ran to her pervious house, the bus stop, the gas station, the front of the complex, I didn’t find her, she was already at my house. I went home and helped her, I remember cleaning the dried out blood on her clothes, skin, and her bloody glasses. I hugged her and asked what happened. She said it started bleeding.I felt so bad. I hugged her, she called her foster parent to pick her up. I tried, I asked, I pleaded to walk her to the car, she said no. That night, I broke up with her via MSN Messenger. She said she knew it was coming. (doesn’t know what to write) I am still shocked to find myself not with her anymore. I…Still can’t recover from that moment. I don’t know what to say after that moment, I nearly froze to the computer screen…

P.S. :  I still love her, I have made the worst choice in my entire life, I hope she takes me back one day.
