Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it.

A simple and logical read :)

The lack of female Einsteins is all down to numbers from New Scientist

Why are there so few female Einsteins? Many people share a belief that while women can do science, there are far fewer women than men at the very top of the science hierarchy because women just aren't as innately good at science as men. Others feel this view is wrong but cannot easily put their finger on why.

They should be able to now. There are few women at the top of science because there are so few women in science. It's simple statistics.

...

you can no longer cite the greater number of men among the most successful people as evidence of innate differences until the effects of participation rates have been allowed for," says Bilalic.

In short, it's hardly surprising that there are so few women Einsteins when there are so few male ones – and so many more men are trying.

Hopping for a better new year!!!

Another year almost gone by... and life seems to have taken a leap. Strange, a year I will never forget yet it is not memorable at all.

Wishing the New Year bring happiness and smiles and success and much more!!!

I am still determined to be cheerful and happy, in whatever situation I may be; for I have also learned from experience that the greater part of our happiness or misery depends upon our dispositions, and not upon our circumstances.

When silence sets in and you look at your life...

What do you see...
The moments that you let failure engulf you?
Or the moments that you picked yourself up?

Whom do you remember...
Those who gave you a hand to get though tough times?
Or those who stood by just watching?

What makes you feel proud...
Those triumphs that everyone patted your back for?
Or those that in private moments make you think yes I did that right?

Who are you most comfortable with...
The person who always agrees with you?
or the one who honestly disagrees with you?

What do you appreciate more...
Always being told the right path?
or making your own way?

What do you value more...
A fake complement?
Or a sincere silence?

What guides you through life...
Every one's expectations?
Or your own decisions?

What puts smile on your face...
Acquisitions of life?
Or a smile on faces you love?

What gives you peace...
nature?
or nurture?

And what gives you happiness...
