  • 10 Inspirational Quotes That Can Improve Yourself

    “Life With Woody” 10 inspirational quotes than can improve yourself

    What’s really interesting is that how do people go through the usual part of life when faced with vein-popping stress? I mean, the new age thing like Zen or yoga is one of the good things and it actually works. Is there room for the intellectual side of people who can actually smell the roses-in-a-can while on the move? It kind of had me thinking that there really must be something in this ‘mind-over-matter’ thing.

    Humor is indeed the best medicine there is whenever you are. I mean anyone can pay good money to listen to a comedian just to make you wet your pants after laughing so hard. Despite of what’s been happening, and to those who has gone though the ordeal, it’s better to just laugh while facing the troubles with a clear mind than anger with a clouded vision. One of my favorite celebrities of all time may have to be Woody Allen. Now this is one guy who gives you the in-your-face bluntness that he pulls out with gusto, even without even trying. You can talk just about anything with a man, and he’s bound to mock the subject and you’ll end up laughing rather than being upset about it.

    Woody Allen has this to say:

    1. “Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.” It sounds good to me, I mean the practicality of all things does involve money but it doesn’t have to take an arm and a leg to get it.

    2. “I believe there is something out there watching us. Unfortunately, it’s the government.” ‘Nuff said.

    3. “There are worse things in life than death. Have you ever spent an evening with an insurance salesman?” This happens to be one of the classic ones. I mean the issue about life’s little problems isn’t all that bad, until ‘he’ shows up.

    Sure, relationships can get complicated, or does have its complications that probably any author about relationships is bound to discover it soon. We follow what our heart desires, unless you’re talking about the heart as in the heart that pump blood throughout your body.

    4. “Love is the answer, but while you’re waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty interesting questions.” And if you want more, just keep on asking!

    5. “A fast word about oral contraception. I asked a girl to go to bed with me, she said ‘no’.” It sounds, ‘practical’, I think.

    And when it comes to everyday life, he really knows how to make the best out of every possible scenario, and it doesn’t involve a lawsuit if he strikes a nerve.

    6. “Basically my wife was immature. I’d be at home in the bath and she’d come in and sink my boats.” I never had a boat in my bathtub before. Just staring at it while soaking in hot water makes me seasick already.

    7. “I am not afraid of death, I just don’t want to be there when it happens.” If it rains, it pours.

    8. “I am thankful for laughter, except when milk comes out of my nose.” It could get worse when you’re guzzling on beer… or mouthwash, and it happened to me once!

    9. “If you want to make God laugh, tell him about your plans.” At least he doesn’t smite us with lightning, and I’m thankful for that.

    And despite of what may happen to all of us in the next ten, twenty, or even thirty years, I guess we all have to see things in a different kind of light and not just perspective. I can’t seem to imagine life without any piece of wisdom that could guide us. Whether we’re religious or not, it takes more courage to accept your fears and learn how to deal with them is all that matters when it comes to even just getting along.

    And to sum things up, here is the last nugget of wisdom to go by… however, whenever, and wherever we may be.

    10. “The talent for being happy is appreciating and liking what you have, instead of what you don’t have.”

    Laugh just laugh………….

  • The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon

    The hundredth monkey effect was supposedly based on research of a group of monkeys on one particular island. This group lived on a Japanese island and was given sweet potatoes covered in sand.

    These monkeys learned to wash these potatoes and the behavior began to spread to younger generations of monkeys. The scientists then went onto report that this behavior seemed to spontaneously appear on other islands among other monkeys that did not have any contact with the first group.

    The study was published but has now been discredited; individuals have said it was part of “New Age Mythology”. It was discredited in part because at least one monkey who knew how to wash the potatoes may have swam to another island and spent an amount of time there.

    Scientists disprove things often and at times are right and wrong. Could this Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon be true and if so what does it mean?

    If the hundredth monkey phenomenon is true that would mean that at a certain level of awareness this information could be communicated. With this vast universe and all the things we do not fully understand, is it silly to believe it is not possible.

    However, scientific “tests” are accurate. If the level of precision was not there for any scientists liking (especially those who are out to disprove such a phenomenon) then it must be inaccurate.

    Finding a test to measure mass consciousness may be quite difficult. Science may never agree with the Hundredth Monkey Theory or any other relating to a communications among the minds.

    With all that we do not know the idea of having a communicating consciousness can be pretty scary to many. Fear drives people and perhaps that is why there is always such a fervor to disprove anything that seems impossible.

    What is your opinion about The Hundredth Monkey Phenomenon?
