Editors note
Every person is important so is every event of life. We tend to ignore or devalue a lot of events that happen in our life. This was a recent lesson that I learnt and which forced me to give it a deeper thought. One of the most important lessons that I learnt and which is so important for each one of us to learn and understand is that- Things that looked obvious were never obvious most of the times. They say one realizes the importance of a person or a thing only in his/her or its absence. I feel the best solution to it is living life in detail. Now, what do I mean when I say living life in detail? Its simple. It just means giving importance to every single second of yours. Everything is interconnected here in this world. You might have heard about a lot of achievers who achieve unbelievably amazing things at an age probably you would never have imagined. It is because only few implement this powerful lesson of living life in detail. We waste a lot of time feeling bad about something that has gone into our past already and have nothing to do with the present except for the lessons derived from it. It is human to make mistakes. But it is our own responsibility to derive lessons out of these mistakes. Give life to every single moment that you live and you shall experience what miracle actually means. Believe me, miracles do happen. There are many people who have already proved this in action. I am sure you are waiting to listen to them all. I thank you all for your wonderful feedbacks on our previous edition. We shall put all efforts to make it better every month. I thank all my authors for their brilliant contribution. Good luck! Stay inspired!

Introduction(In his own words):


I'm an entrepreneur who has learnt quite a bit of business leadership too over the years. My entrepreneurial spirit has put me in a position of Director in a number of companies and I hope I have a motivational style. Increasing success and experience has provided me with the chance to acquire new skills, like guest speaker, and also to become part of a number of steering groups and boards for regional and international organisations. Amongst others, these have included being Chair of the Further Education Enterprise Hubs Project, being on the Regional Board of what was the National Enterprise Academy, and being on the Steering Group for the 2012 Global Entrepreneurship Congress (it was my idea to bring it to Liverpool) and I was hugely glad to see it be a huge success for the city. I have a core aim of aggressively integrating cultural exchange and travel into education, citizenship and personal development. For me, traveling with a purpose and with the idea of giving something to an unfamiliar community is the best route to accelerated learning. I also have a passion to further enterprise culture, as shown by some of the specific boards and steering groups I've worked on. All this has led to my biggest ever project... to be launched very soon... please watch out for WORLD MERIT*.

Q1: Brief us about your background A: I am from Liverpool, oldest child of three. I am from a relatively poor part of Liverpool. I attended a school in the 1% worst academic performance rates in the UK (the year that I graduated). When I was 16, I had a life changing event happen to me its called the Hillsborough Disaster. It is still daily in the UK National news 24 years later. 96 people died. I was in the Leppings Lane end where it all happened. This gave me a perspective that life is short. The media coverage a few days later under the headline 'The Truth' by the Sun Newspaper - gave me an insight that people can be unethical and cruel...This gave the foundation for my ethics and drive. A teacher named Mary Wilson gave me my focus 6 months later. She saw that I was going off the rails and asked me to write life plan, what I was going to do with myself. She helped this process by asking me what I was going to do. I said "be a writer, a novelist. She was an English teacher and said I wasnt yet good enough, "was I ok being a poor writer? she asked. I said, No. She said, Well, why dont you start a business, make lots of money, retire when 40 years old, and write books not caring whether they are good enough to sell. Suddenly, I knew I was going to be an Entrepreneur. I back packed around the world for years exploring what business I would like to start (whilst having fun and learning the world). By the time I was 24, I had travelled the world and knew what business it would be- a cultural exchange business. I started www.campleaders.com in 1999, then www.smallerearth.com in 2006. Smaller Earth Group now has 8 companies, 100 full time staff in offices in 10 countries.

sons until about 8:30 PM. I have dinner with my wife and chat till about 9:30 PM. Then start work, all the work that my talking has generated or follow up. I will sometimes have text/type chats with people around the world at that point and normally finish the day about 2:30 AM. Thats a typical day.

Q3: What was the tipping point for your Business? A: My first business, finding a couple of great staff for camp Leaders meant
that I found people who were good at complimentary things. I dont think Camp Leaders would be as progressed if I hadn't found Andy Callendar 10 years ago. He is still on the team today. He is great at logistics and it took pressure off me and freed me up to be more entrepreneurial.

Q4: What do you enjoy most about what you do? A: The knowledge that I am in the perfect place, that there isnt a single thing I
would prefer to be doing on this planet. Yes, sometimes things could be easier, but I have the perfect position for the future - ambitious aims but a determination and growing team to get there. Feels good!

Q5: If you had to choose one thing, what do you think youre the best in the world at? A: I am confident in my creativity. Good at innovative and fun solutions. I hold
the unofficial world record for the speed of setting up a business. Going from conversation to incorporation to brand to website to first sale with 1 hour as a challenge at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in Shanghai, joint with a couple of others including Robert Acton from New Zealand and Mark Nagur from Seattle.

Q2: What does a day in the life of Chris Arnold include? A: The great thing about being an entrepreneur is that I make my own days, however,
on an average day I have meetings and talk, nonstop between 9 AM to 6PM, in person and over skype, around the world. I go home, play, bathe and read books with my two

Q6: How would you like people to remember you and your company? A: I value making things happen' above all else. And, being clever & intelligent.
I dont care if they remember me but I want them to know World Merit and have opportunity and aspirations raised globally. Its bigger than me, but it would be nice if someone googles 'history of World Merit' or the other things, that they can read my story. Just getting ready.

Q7: Whats one thing you would do differently? A: I would make more of my late teens. I was more focused than most but I didnt
have enough confidence because I didnt understand enough about the world. I dont know. I would be smarter with my money and not so optimistic about so many investments in those early years... still be entrepreneurial and take risks but not so scatter gun in my approach. Probably wasted millions all though I learnt a lot from that, so I am not sure that I should change that.

Q8: Whats your greatest fear as an entrepreneur? A: Well now that I have World Merit, I am ok. .was boredom. Now I have
enough scope to be super excited about every day. Smaller Earth Group is profitable to the point of making my family secure and that is my only true responsibility other than trying to improve the world.

Q9: If you could offer a first-time entrepreneur only one piece of advice, what would it be? A: Do something you are passionate about, and dont believe your own hype.

Your message to our readers.


India has a unique change to be at the heart of our global future. Your disperse citizens live in every country in the world it seems to me and as a culture you should be thinking how to use that network to influence in a 21st century and positive way. Yes, you have lots of problems but you could really be central to the way the human species evolves from here. Just dont get bogged down in small minded stuff.

Introduction:
Olga Sitnik, co-founder at ExploRussia In ExploRussia, Olga takes care of sales, marketing, communications and everything else that has to do with business development. Olga graduated from Novosibirsk State University with a degree in Sociology. After studies, Olga focused on digital marketing and project management within the e-commerce industry. She also has experience in event management and public speaking. Olga is the one who thinks out of the box, always trying new methods and innovative approaches. Olga comes from Novosibirsk, the most populous city in Siberia. After she'd moved to Moscow and started traveling across Europe and Asia, she realized just how little people know about her motherland and how many challenges they're facing when they're planning on visiting Russia. Her aim is to show the modern face of Russia, with its creative people and positive vibe.

Olga Sitnik
Q: Let's start with a small introduction about you and your venture Olga Sitnik(OS): I am a Russian, originally was born in Novosibirsk, a city in
Siberia. I studied sociology. Once I finished my studies, I had a chance to travel abroad for a while and one of the things that I found out was that people knew very little about Russia. Of course none practically had been to the country. Though some wanted to visit Russia, it was not that popular place to go. I thought that if so many people want to come to my country on one hand and on the other, I love my country I should share its history, nature and people's lives with the world. I have to do something about this! That's how we conceptualized this very simple idea to make a travel company for foreigners to make it easy to visit Russia. We realized that it is not easy to come to the country, because people who work in the industry dont brand Russia as a fascinating destination. So, we decided to work on this.

the government. We have some programs for small entrepreneurs but again it doesn't depend on gender.

Q: How are you planning to expand your venture? What is your next step towards its growth? OS: As of now, we are trying to establish B2B partnerships since we believe it
can be a good growth point for us. At the same time, we have made accent for two products. One product is a short tour - when you are already in the city, it is easy to book it and we believe that more people will be ready to buy something smaller and for shorter period of time. The second product is a separate service called Russia Planner wherein we help independent travellers to organize their trip to Russia, plan everything, book places to visit, where to go, whom to talk etc. We believe that there is huge potential in the number of independent tourists. Q: How are you networking and how many people are working for it? OS: To network, we go for some crucial events in industry in a year. For example, we just returned from ITB in Berlin. It is a huge travel show, the biggest in the industry. Here in Russia we go for networking events and take part in associations.

Q: Since when are you working on it? How old is your venture? OS: We started working in the year 2012 and launch happened in late autumn
2012 and here comes our first summer - first peak and high season. So, we are ready for the wave of travellers who would want to visit Russia.

Q: What were the challenges that you faced while starting your venture? And is it true that females have to face a lot of challenges compared to males? OS: Challenges! There were and still are a lot. Starting from the official part; we
wanted to make it right from the very beginning, officially register the LLC, pay taxes and have transparent business in Russia. All these take a lot of time and efforts. On the other hand, we were trying to distinguish ourselves from others. Its a very hard and long process to realize as to why you are different, what is so special about you and why people actually should buy your product. All these do not happen in a trice. You have to be completely prepared when you go out to tell people about your project. People will definitely challenge you with questions and if you don't know to answer then it is very embarrassing. Coming to your question about females, I feel it somehow stronger in Russia. I never even thought of this question also. I mean it is difficult because once you want to have a baby obviously you somehow press the pause button on your project but then you restart it. Of course there are more males in business and in politics in Russia. Fortunately my surrounding is more innovative and pioneering. As a result, I don't feel this difference due to gender. We are all just entrepreneurs.

Q: Olga, how do you want the world to know you? OS: Very nice question! I want to be known as a responsible, bright entrepreneur, who explored Russia for many people around the world. I believe that creating experiences is a wonderful thing to do in a life!

Q: How do you balance your personal life and professional life? How is the support from your family? OS: The support here is very crucial. Starting from the sustenance point, you
need to sustain somehow even financially at first time, when you are only establishing your business. So, you need support from your nearest ones. My fiance is actually one of the co-founders. He is not involved full time in this project but still he supports me very much. My mom during first half of the year was saying "Well, when you will find the real job?" She thought that this project of mine was one big joke but now she sees results and of course she is always a great support in all my ventures.

Q: Do you get any special encouragement for women entrepreneurs in Russia or is it all the same for everyone? OS: If I am not mistaken there is some kind of associations, but they are more
like talk-clubs not so concrete. They discuss about things like subsidies from

Q: Great.. Have you ever felt like giving up? If yes, how did you sustain in that stage? OS: Luckily I have never been there!

Q: And there are many entrepreneurs who are discouraged royally. What do you want to tell them? OS: One has to be persistent. Once you start in one direction for a while, you
will fail once, twice, thrice but on the fourth time. You are bound to succeed. Never be afraid to approach people (while selling them, partnering with them, trying to make co-operations\sales\whatever). Approach them once, twice and the third time as well. The maximum they can do is to tell you No! But in the end you will get what you want. Patience and persistence are the 2 best friends of an entrepreneur. Find something which makes you feel good - find a coach, who will give you some inspirational thoughts or follow those entrepreneurs, who are role-models for you.

Q: How important is the role of a mentor in a business and do you have one? OS: Mentor is very important. I can say that I have one. He is one of our
stakeholders and one of his main roles is to mentor us. A mentor is a person who helps you see the situation from a different perspective, helps you to see the bigger picture, answers your questions and it is very crucial for someone to keep asking you about the progress. Only then you start thinking :)

Q: One reason why people should visit Russia? OS: Russia has everything: history, nature and people but not that wild as it
seems to be.

Q: Lastly a message to our IU e-Magazine readers OS: Dream and make your dreams come true and DREAM AGAIN!

Lets hear what this young scientist has to say about his journey in his own words

Brief us about yourself and your Background. I am Sourabh Koushal pursuing my B.Tech in electronics and communication stream from Kurukshetra University. I am from Yamuna Nagar which is a small district in Haryana. I am also involved in space research from past 5 years on topics such as Space Debris Mitigation and Space Elevator System. I have proposed new methods such as nano technology recycling of waste junk and replacement of space junk. I have written many research papers and submitted them to some international and national organizations like NASA, ISRO, Microsoft etc., and have received International and National awards for the same. Some of the awards that I have received are, Jerome Pearson award from International Space Elevator Consortium in association with Microsoft , Dr. Kalpana Chawla Young Scientist award (the award was presented by Kalpana Chawla's father) in 2012 and Young Innovator award for my innovation in the field of Space Science and Technology at the International Innovation Summit. I was also the Finalist for the MIT PR 35 Young Innovator Award and was nominated for Jerome Leaders Space Science award by IAASS Canada. How did you get the opportunity of being a part of Team Indus? Team Indus is the only Team in India which is competing for the global competition of VLXP Lunar Rover. In 2009-2010 when I was in second year of my engineering, I came to know about Team Indus. One day, I came to know about GLXP Prize i.e Google Lunar X Space. Then, I visited the GLXP Team. I saw the team who participated in the competition and came to know that there was only one Indian team called Team Indus. So, I visited the Team Indus website and wrote to the owner and CEO of that particular team that I was also in the field of research and space science. Even their team was doing a research in Lunar Rover Mission. I wrote to them that I was very much fascinated about the space science but my background was electronics and communication engineering. I put forward my request to work in the field of space science and to do some sort of Internship or research work in Team Indus. In 2011, I did my internship with the GLXP Team Indus and I worked as a research associate with TI and after that in 2012 I completed my engineering. Then, I once again searched for some research work or job related to Space science and technology but in India there was no private sector with respect to Space science except ISRO which is a government sector. I approached TI and proposed that I really wanted to join TI and do something in the field of Space science and technology. As a result, right now I am working with TI as a system engineer and I am working on the power subsystem of the Lunar Rover mission wherein I control the power subsystem of the Lunar Rover Lander. Initially, Rahul Narayan had taken my interview. He had asked me if I could explain my research work. I explained about my research work and after that he agreed for Internship in 2009-2010 and in 2012 before joining Team Indus I did my Internship in a Software Company in Bangalore. I did it to get an experience in the field of IT sector but my ultimate aim was to work in the field of space science and technology. How many people are working in the team and who is leading the Team? There are 5-6 youngsters from IITs and Pratik from Georgia from US. He is the group leader and another student from IIT and some interns are also working in this team of TI. Rahul Narayan is leading the Team. Majority are from IITs while I am not an IITian! (Laughs) Apart from that, I am also am an INK fellow and I am also in association with the TEDx Team. I have worked with many events as well. I had spoken at the Global Tedx conference, Pune, TEDxBITS, Goa on 24th Feb this year. I was invited as a speaker at IIT Delhi and I spoke at Savita University, Chennai. I also spoke at INK + Media Lab Event, Coimbatore and Chennai. How do you manage time? I am working with Team Indus full time. Apart from that I take 1 or 2 days leave and I attend talks at many events. I am planning to take sessions on space science in April in Bangalore. Professors from MIT, Harvard, Boston and NASA will be a part of the event. I will be presenting classes regarding satellite designing, Lunar Rover mission, Space elevator system, Virtual cockpit and how aircrafts will work? What are you passionate about? When I was in class 12, I was always interested in the concept of Human life in Space. I always wanted to become an aerospace or a space engineer. I gave the IIT examination but wasnt qualified for that examination. I got admission in one of the private universities. When I came to know about the fee structure for Aero-Space engineering which was 30-40 Lakhs, I dropped that option and went for electronics and communication. Still, I was really passionate about space science.

What actually triggered you to take up space science? An incident, subject or a person, what motivated you? There was a competition by NASA called space orbitor colony. I had passed class 12th and then I came to know about that competition. I lost the opportunity to submit the proposal to NASA. But I wasnt disappointed. This event triggered my passion about space science Was it the competition by NASA that actually triggered you to think about Human life in Space? Definitely! When I was in 1st year, I started researching more on Space science technical papers. Initially, I was discouraged by many people including the Chairman of my college, Secretary and many other people. My friends always made fun of me. They said to me, You are an electronics engineer and now you are doing research in space science. But still at the age of 18 I wrote my very first research paper and sent it to International space elevator consortium. I was hoping for the best as it was my first ever research paper. I wasnt very good in writing research paper. However, I wrote the research paper and submitted it to ISAAC USA. After 5-6 months, when the results came out my very first research paper stood runner-up in GEROME World globally and it was the start of my research career in the field of space science and after that I wrote many other research papers for 25 International conferences. I am doing my research not for the sake of some award but for the development of society, humanity and for the development of the nation. I really want to propose new technology which will be beneficial for humanity, society and for the development of our nation. How are your parents supporting you and it would have been very difficult for you with absolutely no support from friends and people around? My parents always supported me in my studies. They always said that, If you really want to do further studies in the field of space science in future then go for it. Was there any pressure to take up a job? I didnt have any pressure. I wanted an experience and thats why I joined a software company. I need to be technically strong. What is your exact role in project Indus? I take care of the power subsystem of Lunar Lander. This power subsystem takes care of the power supply of the entire mission from the time the vehicle is launched to until it brought back. It controls the power given to the sensors, the batteries, the motors and other parts of the Lunar Lander. What are the problems that you faced? Team Indus is different from Research. During my research work, I have faced many problems with mentorship, guidance and job. I didnt have proper mentorship as I was from a small place from Haryana and my college didnt support any such activity. I wrote to many scientists in India and they responded in 6-7 months which demotivated me to do research work but on the other hand when I proposed a new technology and mailed it to experts of NASA, they responded within 24 hrs. That is the difference between India and US. Apart from this, there were some financial issues as well.

I wrote to the Government of India and various other people. I wrote to Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam sir, our honourable Prime Minister of India and then to the CM of my state but unfortunately Government of India never supported space science and technology. I have met many students who say that they have some innovative ideas, but they dont have any sort of platform. So, even they are facing the same problems that I faced during my research work. I really want to be of help and provide platform to all the students. I want to create a private space sector in India. Its a dream to start up in the field of Space Science in India. So, now I am also working on learning as to how to setup a private space startup in India. We have just started and we will be taking up workshops and events in various universities. Our first event was on 13th and 14th of April, at Jalandhar in Lovely Profession University to about 1000 students. Satellite designing workshop, automobile workshop and guest lecture by chief scientists were part of our agenda. We are planning to have examinations and hire the best students to start with the Mars mission. That will be the next big thing in India. I want to create jobs in India in the field of space science and technology. Is there a funding problem with Team Indus? May be there is. I am not sure but I think there is. Team who wins the competition gets 30 million dollars as funding from Google. 2015 we should be launching positively. Right now we are in conversation with the chairman and people in ISRO for guidance and mentorship to launch the Lunar Lander. Which was the toughest call of life? Firstly in class 12th, I failed to get in aerospace. Second I got into engineering. Whenever I went for a interview and interviewee would ask for a resume, they would ask me there is a mismatch. I was rejected and told that I need to check out with Space science companies. When I went to space science companies, they would tell me you are not an aerospace engineer. I faced a lot of problems. You should have an experience when you want to become an entrepreneur and for that sake I wanted a job to open a space science technology company. Many are really facing the problem. That is why I want to start up my company. Which was the most difficult point in life? It was to take ECE and leave Aerospace engineering though I was interested in the later. I believed that no matter which engineer you are you can enter into space science. Its a combination of all streams of engineering but you need experience. Is media exposure a necessity? Definitely! It is a necessity. I spoke in different conferences. As a result, now, the students interact with me and also write to me. It plays a major role in giving a message to the government.

Mara Fernanda Gndara Gil

Mohan BN(Mohan): A brief introduction of yourself for the world to know you better and as you would want them to know you. Maria Fernanda Gandara(MFG): My name is Maria Fernanda Gandara. Im 24 years old and I'm a proud and happy Mexican but also a citizen of the world. I believe in my family, my friends, passion, sharing, impact, inspiration, dreams, but most importantly I am happy. Mohan: What were the lessons learned during the journey of social entrepreneurship? MFG: The importance of teamwork, the importance of having fun while working, importance of mentors. My mentors are Clelia, Director of entrepreneurship and Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui. Mohan: What was the problem that gave birth to your idea? What problem does your idea resolve? MFG: Celebrating The World is my venture. I started to have friends around the world, and I started to be interested in what moved them, and in not just knowing about them by projects or the news (that are mostly negative). I wanted to know about the amazing things that were going on, and to understand religions and cultures. Celebrating the world helps in creating empathy, creating better global citizens. Mohan: How did you combat the obstacles that challenged you during the implementation of your idea? MFG: I had to give a lot of time to it! There's a lot of sacrifice, fun and focus required. There are lots of those people who don't believe in what you are doing. It takes times to implement your idea, to decide where to reach and what path to choose. Mohan: What is the degree of duplicability of your idea in other parts of the world? MFG: it's already in the world. In one weekend 40+ countries supported the concept. Its going from global to local. There are currently 25 COUNTRY CHAMPIONS. A network of 152 countries, social media, networks like One Young World, World Economic Forum, Global Shapers Community, and Merit have endorsed the idea. Mohan: What vision do you want to share with the youth of the globe? MFG: Today, since we are closer than before and more connected we have become a part of a global family/village and we have to be more committed each day to solve the most important challenges of our community (local, national and global). I envision a world with shared values and purposes that united will take this planet to be better for the future generations.

Mohan: How can the public support the upcoming social entrepreneurship ventures? MFG: Public as in people should be ready to change the way they see business, to choose the ones that have greater impact and can benefit the society, to invest in social ventures as once it was philanthropy, to see for sustainability and to see social entrepreneurship as the best way to solve the most pressing challenges. Mohan: What are the key qualities that a social entrepreneur should possess according to you? MFG: BUSINESS ie Business knowledge. You need to know that business should be sustainable to have impact and to scale the impact. Also community knowledge is not just something what you think is right but what community needs. Mohan: What is your message that you want our readers to take back from your story? MFG: To have big dreams and to believe so much in them that you will take them into action, to be open to possibilities, to take the time you are living as the best time to do what you want and not tomorrow or sometime later in the future. Today must be the day to solve problems that are important for the people and for the world. Think global! It doesn't matter if you know or not what you need to make your dreams come true. If you believe in the impact your dream can have and the possibilities it will bring you then you will find the ways to make it a reality. Learn, share, impact, inspire and keep growing!

Spring is coming!! And Peter Cottontail is just hopping around the corner with Easter Sunday coming up! Easter has always been a good holiday for me and I always have the best memories because of it. I always remember coloring eggs. Its a time consuming process if you want the colors to be really vivid, and at the time, I wasnt really a patient person. Instead, I would end up having really light pastel colored eggs and I would end up whining about how my eggs werent as pretty as my older sisters eggs. She knew how to wait, unlike myself. But, we would always color the eggs the night before because in the morning, my parents would hide all of the eggs around the front rooms of the house and we would have to find them all. It was a lot of fun, and eventually, finding them in the house was getting too easy, so my parents started hiding them in our front yard and our neighbors would come over to hang out with my parents while they watched and kept count of how many eggs we were finding. You see, they would count the eggs beforehand because we were using fresh hard-boiled eggs and it would smell really bad if we didnt find one. Which, one year, we werent able to find one of the eggs. Although, I have a feeling that it wasnt our problem that we couldnt find the egg, I think my cat started playing with it and it fell or rolled somewhere else. Now, I only suspect my cat because earlier that morning, my older sister was sitting by one of the filled egg cartons

and my cat, Freddy, started creeping his way across the patio table toward the eggs and was attempting to gnaw on them! When Amber, my sister, saw what he was doing and guarded the eggs by putting her arm around the carton and pulled them toward her. Thats when Freddy decided that he didnt like having the eggs taken away and gave Amber a little nip before scampering away! That wasnt all we did on Easter though. We would also go out to breakfast with my neighbors, or drive over to Irvine to have another Easter Egg Hunt at my grandparents house! The kids would also receive Easter baskets with a plush bunny and some chocolates inside of it. (That was the best part!) Truthfully, Easter has always been my favorite because I cant really remember a time where it wasnt beautiful outside every time it came around and all of the bright colored Easter grass that would be inside of the basket, the yummy candies that we would receive, and the fun time that we would have with the family just makes it the best time for me. I know there are many ways to celebrate Easter and I hope that all of you readers have fun this Easter. If you dont celebrate Easter, then I hope that you have fun and just enjoy being around family. You dont really need a reason to celebrate being together. We try to celebrate family, life and laughter as often as we can. My wish for you is that you find a time to laugh a lot every day with your family or friends.

A novel is big. Its long and complicated and takes a big investment of time. You have to fill a lot of pages and do it well. Do I have a good opening hook? Is the pace okay? Did I make my hero tough but still loveable? What tense am I in? What name did I give the dog way back in chapter 2? Sometimes a book is so big its hard to see all the way to the end. And we give up. But a short story iswell, short. Short stories are quick to write and rewrite. Short stories dont have time to get too complicated. They have the same rules as a novel, but they are streamlined. Its easy to see in 1000 words where you need to fix the tense or put in a better description. You can complete a project without dedicating 6-8 months to it like you do when you commit to a novel. Short stories have characters, goals, motivations, and conflicts just like a full length novel. The story should include the protagonist (character), the antagonist (could be a person or a situation to overcome or a goal), something at stake (motivation), and an obstacle (conflict). In addition your story should focus on what changes not what happens, include a hook or unique element, and have emotional appeal. All in about four pages. Easy, right? All writers should try a short story. The lack of subplots and the need to write tight makes it easier to stay on track. When there are issues with a shorter work, you can more easily find the problem because its not buried under the many layers of a novel. Novels are simply short stories with more subplots and twists. Short stories range from 700 words up to 5000 words. The average magazine story length is 1500-2000 words. Anything under 1000 words is called a short short. But why am I writing a short story you ask? Theres a market for them. Many magazines publish fiction and some pay well. You dont have to have an agent to submit stories to magazines, reputable magazines such as Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, Womans World in the US, or My Weekly and the Weekly News in the UK. Like to write mysteries? Try Ellery Queen or Alfred Hitchcock magazines. A Google search of magazines that accept short stories will leave you pleasantly surprised. For a fee Duotrope and Writers Market both offer online lists of places to submit your work and even give you submission guidelines. You will need to do some research to

find the best fit for the kind of stories you write. There are also many, many short story contests you can enter. Some have a cash prizes or publication in a major magazine. Here are some tips to writing short. 1. Make every word count. Instead of saying that nasty mean kid in high school, cut it down to teen bully. 2. Be clear. Even though you dont have much space, you still have to get the story across. If your character is acting badly because of his past, we need to know what that past is but just a very brief version of it. Bitter divorce or smothering mother tells it all. 3. Cut out the fluff. Yes, its nice that the hotel room has a marble tub and gold faucet and thick plush carpeting. In a short story we dont have the space for all that. Richly appointed. 4. Be visual. Instead of talking about the neighbor as Richard a little trick is to describe him. The vegetarian fireman or the husband stealing blonde next door. It will give the reader a better picture than just a name. 5. Focus on the core conflict. We dont have time for subplots. Man robs bank; man runs from cops; man learns some kind of lesson. 6. Choose compelling verbs. Struggles is more evocative than decides. Wheezed gives a better picture than breathed. 7. Start off with a bang. Get right to the problem or inciting incident. Grab your reader right away. You dont have the word length to talk about how he/she is dressed or the weather or have chit chat with the co-workers. First thing rob the bank, crash the car, or have the lovers walk away from each other. 8. Make us like your characters. While a strong opening to a short story is essential, the characters are the glue that hold it together. Remember to show not tell. He was very tall and handsome vs looks that made woman turn and stare. 9. Choose your point of view and tense and stick to it. Who is telling the story? The school teacher? Okay, tell it from her point of view and dont change it. 10. Put your story in the proper order and have it make sense. It should read smoothly. Mary bought some eggs. Her brothers flight was late. Last week she got some bad news. Confused? Me too.

We lay at the mercy of ourselves. We are sole controllers of our own lives. It's up to us whether we want to grow or slow our progress charts. The S.I units provide a standard measurement for all the physical quantities that exist in this universe but there can be no standard set for measuring growth or success that can be universally accepted. Hence it's left to each one of us to have our very own standards and work towards raising them every time we meet them. This whole process of taking goals, working towards them and accomplishing them should be followed by the most important and prominent step called self-evaluation. Introspection is the time that we invest on recalling and thinking of all the work that we have done in the recent days of the past and start evaluating them one by one. During self-evaluation we have to be really honest with ourselves to make sure that we are not giving excuses for any of our inabilities to fulfill the work requirements. We should be honest enough to accept our faults and must plan to curb our shortcomings. During self-evaluation we should be able to clearly list down the number of different activities that we have been a part of and then scan through each one of them in detail. If we have performed up to the mark, then we need to continue the same, if we have exceeded expectations we should appreciate and reward ourselves and if we have failed our own or organization's expectations, we should look in further detail to find out the real reasons of failure. Though self-evaluation includes both appreciating oneself for success as well as punishing oneself for failure, more focus should be on making plans to convert the past failures into future successes. Hence yardsticks have to be set for every work that we are a part of, so that we can evaluate our performance each time and improve every next time. Listing down all

the activities and subjecting oneself to self-evaluation will give us a filtered list of unfinished tasks that we need to work upon and for which we need to nurture or change certain of our skills, talents and attitudes. We have to make a separate list for these expected changes and new stuff on which we need to work and develop a plan of action to accomplish. As we take upon more and more work of diversity, only then will we be able to tap out different qualities and strengths of ours. There can be hundreds of them who might like, comment, judge, appreciate, criticize, evaluate our work and assign rewards or penalties but it is much more our own responsibility to evaluate ourselves because nobody can be with us to have a vigilance over all that we do all the time apart from we ourselves. Only when we strictly evaluate our ownselves can we understand our shortcomings and work on them to excel the next time. Man is a hidden treasure of unlimited potential. It needs to be excavated. For being excavated, first, there needs to be a sense of lack of this potential which has been responsible for the failures which can be known only when we undergo a self-evaluation procedure. Once it is known, we shall work upon ourselves to extract the hidden talents and skills in us and exhibit them to the outer world. Unfortunately most of the people in this world just drift away with time without evaluating self and by only listening to others' comments and opinions and acting accordingly. As a result, they don't exercise the complete potential of being a human and live half-empty lives. Every hidden talent in us is a treasure to the outside world. It's a sin if we don't exploit our skills to develop this world into a better place. Hence, we must time and again evaluate our thoughts, words and actions by subjecting ourselves to self-evaluation procedure regularly and constantly upgrade and uplift ourselves rather than just waiting for the world to evaluate and rate us.

In a rush to leave home, late for an important meeting, I hurriedly dressed for the day. This time of the morning is darker than black ink for the sun is not yet up for hours. I quietly gathered my clothes from the drawers in the corner dresser and my shoes from the closet and dressed in the darkness, unwilling to disturb the sleep of those in the house. Gathering my files and coffee mug, I slipped out the door and into my car. Arriving just in time for my meeting, I swung my legs out of the car to step onto the pavement. I had on two VERY different socks. On any other day, this would not have mattered, but today, the pair of shoes I had on did not cover my blunder. The sock on my left foot was green, and the sock on my right was purple. To add insult to this injury, todays meeting involved a presentation in front of the group. What to do? Well, I decided to give it voice. As I was introduced, stood up, and walked to the front of the room, I began to smile, and then smiled some more. Almost laughing, I pointed out the imperfection in my appearance. Immediately, the room filled with a humor

laden connection, for who has not done something just like this at some time or another. Giving voice to my miss matching, couching it in humor and emphasizing the peace that comes from admitting we are all human was the ticket to a relaxed and positive beginning of the meeting. How often are we worried about how we appear to others and our voice is one of apprehension? How often do we concern ourselves with perfection, fall short of the mark, and voice shame to ourselves and others? How often can we blame someone or something else for a problem and dwell in an angry voice? Maybe it is time to ask ourselves the question, What kind of voice am I in this world? Maybe it is time to ask ourselves the question, What kind of voice do I want to be for this world? The energy of our collective voices can be a powerful one. Harnessing this kind of energy is only a matter of choice. It is only a simple matter of moving out of the inky darkness and into a light filled room.

Everyone goes through troubling times in their lives. Some people want to give up during their difficulties, but that is not the best way to move forward and work through negative circumstances. There are some who believe that part of the purpose of human life is to experience the most we can, and those experiences can be negative or positive. By struggling through low points and easing through high points, you get to experience all sides of human nature and of human existence. You are able to transcend the limitations of a narrow viewpoint which an entirely smooth path would give you. The difficulties can also give you a greater appreciation of the good times that you have. Nothing is lost in hardships; rather, great things are gained. You actually enrich your life by persevering. There is also a lot to be learned from difficult experiences. You can look around you and see who supported you throughout your tough times and realize that those who abandoned you in your time of need were not really true friends after all. You can look at yourself and become aware of how strong you are and how much stronger you have become from pushing through your difficult times. You can realize how much more you might be able to accomplish with your hard-earned and ever increasing strength. Overall, you gain more from your difficult times than you think you have lost. Instead of seeing yourself as a failure, recognize that you are a success just by fighting against the hardships, by never giving up. It is important to know that just by the very act of living, you are thriving in a difficult situation. It may not seem that way to you while you are in the thick of the pain and hardships, but the truth is that every step you take through the rough times makes you stronger. So, never think of yourself as permanently damaged by the hard times.

Although it may seem to you that you are being diminished by the struggles, you are actually being fortified. You are indeed changed by the difficulties, but always ultimately for the better. You grow through experiencing hard times, not despite of them, but because of them. This personal growth is always a good thing. For the rest of your life, you will carry with you the knowledge that you never gave up, and that you overcame difficult circumstances. Remembering your courage will help encourage you to move forward through challenging circumstances in the future. The road to your current position has been a winding one, full of twists and turns, of hills and valleys. There will be many more such roads and journeys in your life, all filled with highs and lows. But at the end of each road, you will find yourself in a position of strength. Always remember that things do get better. There is no reason to despair or see yourself as stuck just because your situation has deteriorated and your life seems to have become unrecognizable to you. There is hope. There is an end to the ups and downs. There really is. It may take time, and a lot of effort, but you can wade through the muck and detritus, and you will come back to yourself and realize that, in fact, you never really left yourself at all. To everyone out there who is going through hardships, please know that there is a way out of the struggle. Keep moving on. Situations inevitably change and you can reach a point of calm from which you can review the past and look to the future. That point in time could be closer than you think.

Inspiration, encouragement and hope. These three are linked together in the river of creation that flows from your mind, through your hands and into your project. Inspiration may be the impetus to start something new. The buzz you get when you are inspired and begin your work. Time seems to fly as it gets underway. We may see clearly what we want to achieve and, though it might not turn out exactly as we had planned it, it starts to take shape. But then, when we have begun and things are dragging, then we need encouragement, from friends or acquaintances. And encouragement, from different sources, strangers, or the words from books or movies can do just as well. Something that reaffirms your original inspiration. It is possible to encourage yourself by remembering your previous successes as well, this should spur you on to completion. And so you continue towards your final goal.

You should now have hope that you will finish and not be despondent. This hope is also like encouragement, a clear goal that manifests as you are nearing completion. The balance has shifted from inspiration, through encouragement, to hope and then onto the completion of the task or exercise. You can feel pleased that all is wrapped up, the end of the project, from the inspired beginning to the satisfying end. So, let me encourage you to encourage others as well as yourself. To help them by telling them that they should continue in their endeavor no matter how far they are from the goal. Do not criticise too harshly lest you kill the delicate bud produced by the inspiration, but nurture it, train it until it grows into a beautiful flower. From the seed of inspiration, the water of encouragement, the bud of hope leading to the fruit of completion.

This was bound to happen. Sooner or later the bacteria will mutate into a genome to adapt to their world; no matter what antibiotics they are given. The strongest survive. The overuse of antibiotics over the last several decades has made a case for evolutionary changes for bacteria. An antibiotic for the simplest physical complaints has gotten people into the habit of asking for an antibiotic for every occasion. Were even getting them injected into our food. Bacteria can no longer hide. No wonder they are escaping the latest antibiotics. But now resistant bacteria are getting stronger and invading parts of the body where they do not belong, like the bloodstream, lungs or urinary tract. These illness are becoming untreatable. The death rate from bloodstream infections can reach 50 percent. Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control, called the organisms nightmare bacteria, and noted that they could pass their trait for drug resistance encoded in a scrap of genetic material called a plasmid along to other bacteria. According to a new report by the disease centers, among all infections with gut bacteria, the proportion caused by carbapenem - resistant types rose to 4 percent in 2012, from 1 percent in 2001; among infections caused by one type of bacteria, Klebsiella, 10 percent have become resistant, compared with 2 percent a decade ago. When Penicillin was introduced by Alexander Fleming in 1928, it was a miracle drug, curing infections of all kinds. Now you rarely hear about it; we have more powerful antibiotics.

More powerful antibiotics mean more bacterial mutations. 75% of your immune system is in the mucosa of your gastrointestinal tract. It is in the lining of your mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, and colon. This is your first line of defense. Over time, your immune system has been beaten down through stress, bad foods, and a host of toxins, including microbes. In addition there is the assault on the immune system that comes from the presence of abnormal yeast and fungi and bacteria in the gut. Many people have a deficiency of normal flora in the colon and an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. Research shows, for example, that those with chronic fatigue syndrome have a deficiency of normal flora in the colon, yet a bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, and that that combination of abnormal flora increases pro-inflammatory cytokines --- with a particular Th2-dominant cytokine profile. The entire gamut of immune imbalances; including elevated inflammatory cytokines, low natural killer cell function, high CD8+ cytotoxic lymphocytes, high CD38 and HLA-DR activation markers, high CD28+ T cells, and low CD11b expression, along with defects in T cell and natural killer cell activation associated with protein kinase C, can all be of gastrointestinal origin. A person today has the immune resistance far less than a person years ago. Of course this person today is ingesting far more antibiotics than ever before. It was bound to happen.

Best fake face


When they were here Dancing over the rare musical tunes They made me scared By the silly, things they do In front of the crowd They believed in themselves Inside they were sad But any how they were making Best fake face With the smile They shout and make jokes To spread smile who have it not With the best fake face? They deliver the happiness all over the place And they are happy this way

Entering the small details of life Magnify you I remind myself Its not forever Without a dominant eye

As you sow, so shall you reap


India
Whose outmost is always success Working hands those never rest, "An idle mind is the devil's workshop" which fails in every test; After sundown, those who rise Opportunities fade and they only weep And its always correct that is said"As you sow, so shall you reap" A cactus is watered when Neither from it, flowers are born, nor any fruits arise from it Only it grows with its thorns; Labor turns stones into gold but sloth changes it into straw's heap As its always correct that is said"As you sow, so shall you reap" Wakeful minds never give up Defeats give up on their only way, Stronger is their bond of Hope That success is a little far away; Sweeter we tasted, honey of busy bees, but Can monkey's mother ever be a sheep? So, its always correct that is said"As you sow, so shall you reap"

Secret behind Success


Success in life will have a permanent stay, Only if you chuck the wrong and choose the right way!!! If you dont bend your morals even for a grand pay, Then success will certainly be at your bay. A lot of opportunities lie in threat, You just have to cling on to hopes thread. Mere failure shouldnt make you go red!!! Just think YOU ARE THE BEST when you go to bed. Open your eyes and see the sun-rise, Stop brooding over past if you are really wise!!! Before quitting and leaving just think twice, Only after a dark night the bright day arrives!!!
