How to get self motivation? |
| Question found in Psychology |
 |
|
You need: 1. Ambition. You should have a goal to achieve and the ambition to be successful. 2. Service mentality. Why most people apparently fail to be properly motivated is because without much effort one can get along and it is not necessary to work hard to survive. In such cases if you think of doing something for others - it could be any body - if you plan on doing whatever you do as a service that provides a motivation. 3. Values. Often people become lazy, lose interest in the career and lose sight of any goal they had because they have no set values in life. Values give meaning to life. 4. Self realization. My personal factor here is my belief that I am some one special and the realization that God has entrusted me with a mission. Identifying that mission and following it through will be the best form of motivation. |

How do I improve my life? I should be happy with a fantastic 8 year old son and my own home. However I fret constantly over my relationship with my boyfriend (ex-alcoholic for over 2 years) who is very self-protecting, which I totally understand, but sometimes feel everything has to be his way or that is that. I don't enjoy my job and I don't have any friends. I really don't know where my life is going and I don't know how to go about changing it for the better. Feel I am just plodding along. |

Many people today are in plights similar to yours. It is good that you wish to improve your life. The good news is that it can be done. Let us see how one can have happiness in life. 1. A verse from a poem in my language is something like this: Even heaven is not better than ever-present, universal, selfless love. I firmly believe in the veracity of this. In this context, love is not the carnal, sexual feeling or attachment. It is living for others. It is seeing every one as own brothers and sisters. 2. Many may find the above - universal selfless love - as unpractical. What makes this practical is religion. When we have strong faith in God, believe that all are God's children, it becomes easy to respect and love others. 3. Once this is done it will be easy to make friends. Once you begin to give love and friendship, a smile and a good word liberally, you will be surprised as to how much love and good will comes back to you. Then you shall have all the friends you need. 4. Coming to your boyfriend also you will find the relationship improve when you begin to love him for his own sake, accepting him as he is, selflessly. For things to become happy, to make heaven on earth for you it would help if you and your boyfriend can come to an understanding about the good future of the child, the need for it to grow in a proper family with loving parents. For this what is needed is to start a new life as husband and wife, to get married. What prevents most people from this step is again selfishness. If you both decide to live for others, for one another and for the child, it will be easy to come to that conclusion. 5. To summarise, bring religion and spirituality back into your life. Accept God as your Father (or Mother) and trust in God's providence. Then you shall know how to make heaven on earth. |

What is Prayer, and how does it relate to the unbelieving? |
| Question found in Religion & Spirituality In General |
|
|
To the unbelieving, prayer is a positive thought energy wave that has remarkable power to do good. If you are praying for some one, sending a good wish or get well message in spirit or thought, the effect of this will be high if the recipient is also on the same wavelength - of positive thoughts. On the other hand if you send a negative thought, a curse, it can have bad effects on the recipient if he is on the same wavelength of negative thoughts. But if it is person full o f positive thoughts it may not have much effect. To the believer these thought waves are directed towards God who AMPLIFIES the same a thousand fold if not more. Prayer to God are more effective than good wishes of the unbeliever. |

Is the start of the week Sunday or Monday? |
| Question found in Bible Studies |
|
|
I guess it is up to each culture to consider one day or other as the first day. As the question is in Bible studies I can make the following observations. The Jews considered Sunday as the first day, Saturday being the seventh day - the sabbath. In the roman Empire, 2000 years ago Sunday was the public day, day of rest and celebrations. So we could say for them Monday was the first day. Early Christians under the Roman empire followed the Roman calender and considered Monday as the first day, with Sunday the day of rest and prayer. The influence of European systems all over the world has thus made Monday as the first day of the week. |

When two bodies are very big, having very large masses then the gravitational force of attraction between them is extremely large. Then why isn't Jupiter (the heaviest planet) closest to the sun? |
| Question found in Space & Astronomy |
|
| The planets are not arranged according to their mass or any other criterion. During the formation of planets, when the mater in the rotating disc around the sun accreted, some happened to be big and some small. The denseness of distribution of matter - particles or rocks - could have been greater around the middle of the disk where Jupiter and Saturn formed, hence the larger planets. |

I am only 13 years old I am desperate to get pregnant I am scared of what my mum will say if I do but I still don't care I want to have a baby? |
| Question found in Parenting & Family In General |
|
|
I appreciate and admire the mother-instinct that is a vital one but absent in many young women of today. But I must warn you to be cautious and advise you to wait till you are a bit older. In today's society 18 years is a reasonable age to get married. And my strong advice is that you must think of becoming a mother only after a proper marriage. Once more; be careful and wait till you are older. |

Can nonliving things come alive? If no, then why doesn't it happen the same in the case of a virus? |
| Question found in Biology |
|
|
Virus is very special case that cannot be classified either as living or non-living. For an organism to be living, it should have DNA as well as RNA molecules in it. A virus has either DNA or RNA, not both. So it is not a living being. But since it has either DNA or RNA it can become alive if the missing molecule is added. This happens when the virus attaches itself to a living cell. |

Can anyone explain in detail that how did Einstein defined time as? And how did he verified his theory? |
| Question found in Science In General |
|
|
Einstein or any other scientist haven't defined time yet. Einstein's theory included time as one of the dimensions of space-time continuum. He had propounded many scientific statements in his theories on relativity - special and general. He didn't prove any of them. But most of them were verified later by other teams of scientists, some even long after his death. |

Can science and religion go together? Please give examples also. |
| Question found in Religion & Spirituality In General |
|
|
Religion and science deal with two entirely different aspects of our existence - the spiritual and the physical. Scientists cannot make statements on spiritual matters - if there is God, soul, life after death etc, nor give instructions on how to attain heaven, nirvana or moksha. In the same way theologians or religious instructors cannot make statements on physical matters, if there was evolution, if the sun is going round the earth or the other way, or instruct us on the use of electronic equipments or how to repair a computer. Coming to your question if these two can go together let us consider these two - science and religion as two fields of knowledge. If you have only one of these your knowledge is unbalanced or very incomplete. For a balanced knowledge you need these two. Personally, I find science and religion not as contradictory but complementary. Eg. Biblical account of creation or the Big Bang cosmology do not make much sense each by itself. But together they make sense to me. This is expressed in detail in an article entitled Adam and Eve on the net vempenysviews in the long pieces section. The link is www.vempenysviews.com/vem_lng35.html |

Could you please explain to me how the material of the wire affects the resistance? |
| Question found in Physics |
|
|
Flow of electrons (current) is possible in a material if there are free electrons on the surface. In metals the peripheral electrons (those in the outer orbit)are generally free. In most other substances they are bound strongly and do not move easily. This is how the nature of materials affects the resistance.
Comments :  thanks very much, very helpful
