SIMPLE MIND TRICKS TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN LIFE


Simple Mind Tricks to Achieve Success in life
Most people do not utilize enough of their brain. Some would even say in order to succeed, you
need luck, not brain power. You can trick your brain into believing otherwise with simple mind
tricks. Success is something that you envision and create for yourself. Use these easy
techniques to help gain more success in your life.

Motivation
If you can envision yourself on the path to success, you are already using motivation as a way
to engage your mind and gear yourself toward the reality of your thought process. To keep
yourself motivated, talk about the plans you intend to fulfill. The more you motivate yourself by
talking about your plans, the more likely you are to take that first step toward completion of
those plans. Motivation is a major key to success. No plan or idea ever created itself. It takes human
ingenuity and the brain power of man to see plans through and make them a reality.

Positive Thinking
This may not seem like a mind trick, but in all actuality it is one of the best mind tricks. Achieving
success can be a very challenging task. When you think positively, you dispel any doubt you
may be harboring. Negative thoughts bring you down and make it difficult to succeed. No matter
how bad things may seem, keep your thoughts positive and do not stray from a successful course.

Read to Exercise Your Mind
Reading may seem like it is a simple task that you do every day. This is true, however reading
also helps transform your ideas and introduces new ways of thinking. Reading is one of the true
ways you can train your mind for success. Not only does it help keep your brain geared for optimal performance, it also helps your continue to educate yourself.

Envisioning
Perhaps you have hit a slump and can’t seem to get past a road block you have set for
yourself. This would be procrastination at its best. When you get to this point, don’t let it stop
you. Instead think ahead. Close your eyes and envision the task already done and what it feels
like to have accomplished it. When you open your eyes you will be ready to continue down that
path of success and finish the work that put you in that slump.

Identify Thoughts
Distractions cause even the most motivated individual to stray from their path of success. Most
of the time distractions come in the form of thoughts. It is important to be able to determine which thoughts are actually inhibiting you from succeeding and which thoughts are the motivating thoughts that are helping you succeed.
Relax
When you relax you take the stress out of success. When you relax you give yourself the time to
wind down and become comfortable with challenging ideas. Once you begin to consider them to
be manageable hurdles you can relax and tackle them.

Focus
In order to feel assertive and carry through with your goal of success you need to think
confidently about yourself and be what you think. This is one of many very simple mind tricks
that most people do not even realize they can accomplish.

Miners Charged for Colleagues’ Deaths

Miners Charged for Colleagues’ Deaths
 The State has added murder charges against the 270 men arrested in connection with violence at Lonmin's Marikana mine, the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA) said on Thursday.
NPA North West spokesman Frank Lesenyego said every one of them was being charged with murder, attempted murder, and public violence.
"The State has placed murder charges against all of them. Finer details around the charges will emerge in court when their bail application starts next week," he said.
Police arrested 260 of the men on August 16. They were arrested after police opened fire on a group of striking miners gathered on a hill near the Lonmin platinum mine in Marikana, killing 34 of them and wounding 78.
Ten people, including two policemen and two security guards, were killed in the week leading up to the shooting.
Ten of the wounded miners were arrested later.
In all, 264 of them appeared in the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court on Thursday. The other six were still in hospital.
State prosecutor Nigel Carpenter said they would join the group when they were discharged.
Expelled ANCYL president Julius Malema said on Thursday that charging the 270 men with the murder of their colleagues was madness.
"The policemen who killed those people are not in custody, not even one of them. This is madness," he told protesters at the Ga-Rankuwa Magistrate's Court, outside Pretoria.
"The whole world saw the policemen kill those people. We are going to be seized with this matter. We have asked the lawyers [representing the 270 men] to consider making an urgent application at the high court."
Malema was speaking after the men's bail application was postponed for another seven days.
He said arrangements had been made for the group to be held at the Pretoria Central Prison and the Mogwase Prison, in North West.
"At the prisons, the comrades will not be mixed with other people already serving sentences there. Their families will be allowed to visit them," Malema, speaking in Sotho, told the crowd.
"Visiting days at the prisons are Tuesdays and Thursdays. We are going to get the lists [of which members of the group are detained at which prison] and will give them to your leaders. We must be strong." Malema urged the protesters to remain steadfast and to return to court next week for the group's next appearance.
"We will come back next week, hopefully in larger numbers. We must not be demoralised by this postponement," he said.
"We have organised lawyers for these comrades. We have organised buses for you to go to the funerals this weekend." Malema was introduced to the protesters as "president" by suspended ANC Youth League spokesman Floyd Shivambu.
The SABC reported that Constitutional law expert Pierre de Vos had denounced the decision to charge the 270 miners with the murders of their colleagues, as a flagrant abuse of the criminal justice system.
He told the broadcaster the State was relying on the "common purpose" doctrine, under which people who participated in crime could be charged with its consequences.

MEDICINAL USES OF BANANA FRUIT

Anaemia: High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of haemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anaemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect food for helping to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power: 200 students at an English school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fibre, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin - known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body so if you suffer from heart-burn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness: Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweight and at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and crisps. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods (such as bananas) every two hours to keep levels steady.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer, trypotophan.
Smoking: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking, as the high levels of Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalise the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water-balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be re-balanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in "The New England Journal of Medicine"eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a "cooling" fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronic ulcer cases. It also neutralises over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that, if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape!

TOKYO (AP) - Apple Inc. of the U.S. and Samsung Electronics Co. of South Korea are embroiled in legal battles in 10 nations over intellectual property, spanning dozens of cases. Here are details of some of the bigger legal fights:

- In the U.S., Apple scored a major victory on Aug. 24 when a jury found Samsung had "willfully" copied Apple's iPhone and iPad, and awarded Apple $1 billion in damages. Apple is now requesting eight Samsung products be banned from the U.S. market. A hearing was rescheduled for Dec. 6.

- In South Korea, the court on Aug. 24 dismissed Apple's claim that Samsung copied the look and feel of the iPhone and the iPad in a ruling widely seen as a victory for Samsung. Still, the judges issued bans on some Samsung and Apple products. It found that Apple illegally used Samsung's wireless technology while Samsung violated Apple's patent related to the way mobile devices notify users when an image reaches to the end.

- In Japan, the Tokyo District Court denied Apple's claim on Aug. 31 that Samsung infringed upon Apple's patent to have mobile devices and personal computers "synchronize" or share data with each other. Other cases in Japan are still pending.

- In Germany, a Dusseldorf court said last month Samsung's Galaxy Tap 7.7 imitated Apple's design in an "unacceptable manner" and ordered European sales stopped. But the court said another Samsung tablet computer no longer infringed Apple's iPad patents or designs after making enough changes. Other cases are still pending.

- In Australia, Samsung became free to sell its Galaxy tablet computers after the country's highest court dismissed Apple's appeal in December 2011. But separate legal battles are ongoing over various patents.
