How to always have enough money
How often have you heard yourself saying, ‘I wish I had a little more money’? Are you always waiting for the next raise?Do you always find yourself short of cash when you want to make a big investment?Are you always left with less than ‘enough’?If you answer 'yes' to any one of the above questions, here’s how you can ensure that what you earn is always enough for you. Your problem is in figuring out how to live within your means. As your income level goes up, your appetite for things—right from the basics to the luxuries—goes up. You tend to increase your daily spending levels, according to the increase in your income level. There’s nothing wrong with that. Nevertheless, keep a check of where your money is going. If you ensure that you buy only what you really need and what you really want, you will soon always find ‘enough’ money. In fact, as you become more and more disciplined with your spending habits, you will soon have ‘more than enough’ to spend.

Badminton Originated in India
Many believe that badminton originated in England, and that it is in fact an offshoot of tennis. But while the game’s name certainly sounds very British, as does shuttlecock, badminton is an ancient game that originated in India, where it was called Poona! British army officers who played the game there in the nineteenth century brought it back to Great Britain. In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort entertained his guests with the game at a party he hosted in his home that was in Badminton, England. That’s how Poona received its badminton name.

Create Success
Success is like an eager guest knocking at your door, waiting to be let in. If you shut your door to the guest he is going to be disheartened and will try other options. Approaching success is an art, you need not over-stretch limited resources or try beyond your means to achieve success. Wisely using what you have is more than sufficient. What you are seeking to achieve in the outside world is actually present within you. You have nurtured and created it within your soul and self, it needs to be re-discovered. Positive thinking is one such resource which is well within your reach and should be used to be successful.

 

What is an FTP Programme ?
IF you’re planning to put up your own web site (and who isn’t, these days), you should know what an FTP programme is. Even if you aren’t nurturing such ambitions, it helps to keep abreast of Net technologies. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It is the Internet method of uploading and downloading files. A good FTP programme will help you transfer files and make your job of managing your web site easier. There are various FTP programmes available in the market, one of them being WS FTP. You can also download free copies of these programmes from certain websites. WS FTP95 Pro, for instance, can be downloaded free (it has limited features, however) from Ipswitch.com.

 

Keeping Fresh on a Hot  Day
YES, it’s hot, and you feel sapped of all energy.Here’s one quick way of reviving yourself: splash ice-hold water on your face. It will bring back the colour to your face, as cold water does wonders for your blood circulation, thereby making you look fresh as a rose. What’s more, the effect can last for several hours.
However, if you start feeling hot and listless once again, repeat the splashing, as often as possible. For people who use no make up, this is one super way of staying naturally fresh all day long. If you do use makeup, you can try this remedy at home once you’ve removed the makeup. The ice-cold water will rejuvenate your skin. Rubbing a piece of ice also helps.

 

An Octopus Look Alike
APART from the fact that it has a tongue twisting name ‘Welwitschia’ this woody plant that grows in the desert areas of Namibia and Angola resembles an octopus! The plant starts out with just two leaves that during the process of growth get parted into various sections. And a full-grown plant ends up looking like an octopus. And guess what, this plant has a whopping lifespan of several hundred years! Such a long lifespan in the desert is made possible by a long water absorbent taproot, which goes deep below the ground and is capable of absorbing the slightest amount of moisture it comes across.
