Start the Day Right - Don't Skip Breakfast

Eating breakfast is more than just a way to get you moving in the morning.
A healthy start to the day, breakfast, can prevent diabetes, protect your heart and more.

Studies show:

• children who eat breakfast do better in school.


• adults will feel better and perform better at work as well.
  

If we skip breakfast:

• become tired when our brains and bodies run low on fuel.


• By mid-morning, a lot of us grab a cup of coffee or wolf down a sugary candy bar to wake up again.
  
• This might work for a few minutes, but by lunch time we are hungry.
  

Eating a good breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Is a common strategy for losing weight, but not a smart one. Many people believe that they will lose weight if they skip meals, but that just isn't true; the body expects to be refueled a few times a day, starting with a healthy breakfast. Eating breakfast is good for weight loss. In fact, people who eat breakfast are more likely to maintain a healthy weight.

Why people skip b’fast:

• Early morning is rush hour for us (getting children go to school/ yourself to work) – Don’t have enough time.
  

Solution:

• Take time to prepare your breakfast on the night before.


• (Put it in the fridge and re-heat the nxt morning).


• On the weekend – take time to enjoy leisurely b’fast or branch (invite friends and neighbor to enjoy the pleasure eating healthy food wth you)
  

What is a Healthy Breakfast?

• A healthy breakfast should contain some protein and some fiber.
  [ Protein can come from low fat meats, eggs, beans, or soy. Fiber can be found in whole grains, vegetables and fruits. ]


• A good example of a healthy breakfast might be something simple like a hard boiled egg, an orange, and a bowl of whole grain cereal with low fat milk.
  
• Protein and fiber satisfy your hunger and will keep you feeling full until lunch time.


• If you don't feel good when you eat breakfast,
  you can split your breakfast up into two smaller meals. Eat a hard boiled egg at home,
  and an hour or two later, take a break from work and snack on an apple and a handful of healthy nuts like pecans or walnuts.
  

Conclusion: Breakfast Every Morning

Easy way to understand how SERVLET work

Do you know what is servlet? Ok here is a quik refresher for you.

Servlets are commonly used as an efficient platform-independent replacement for Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripts.

A programmatic point of view:

• a servlet resembles an applet;
• it is an executable that's written in the JavaTM programming language,
• usually (though not always) is executed in response to an invocation from an HTML page.

SERVLET Element:

• Efficient and scalable because [ don't create new processes every time they execute ]
• servlets are handled by separate threads within the Web server process.
• Can write to server log files and can take advantages of other server capabilities [ they run in the server's own process ].
• Designed to fulfill the "Write Once, Run AnywhereTM" [ promise inherent in the Java programming language] .
• Servlets can be executed without modification on any platform.
  
  

Diagram: Common ways of using a servlet in Web server environment

A user (1) requests some information by filling out a form containing a link to a servlet and clicking the Submit button (2).

The server (3) locates the requested servlet (4).

The servlet then gathers the information needed to satisfy the user's request and constructs a Web page (5) containing the information.

That Web page is then displayed on the user's browser (6).

Did i marry RIGHT person?

During one of a seminars, a woman asked a common question. She said, "How do I know if I married the rightperson?" I noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so I said, "It depends. Is that your husband?" In all seriousness, she answered "How do you know?"

Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it's weighing on your mind.

Here's the answer. EVERY relationship has a cycle. In the beginning, you fell in love with your spouse. You anticipated their call, wanted their touch, and liked their idiosyncrasies.

Falling in love with your spouse wasn't hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn't have to DO anything. That's why it's called "falling" in love... Because it's happening TO YOU.


People in love sometimes say, "I was swept of my feet." Think about the imagery of that __expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something came along and happened TO YOU.

Falling in love is easy. It's a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few years of marriage, the euphoria of love fades.

It's the natural cycle of EVERY relationship.

Slowly but surely, phone calls become a bother (if they come at all), touch is not always welcome (when it happens), and your spouse's idiosyncrasies, instead of being cute, drive you nuts.

The symptoms of this stage vary with every relationship, but if you think about your marriage,you will notice a dramatic difference between the initial stage when you were in love and a much duller or even angry subsequent stage.

At this point, you and/or your spouse might start asking, "Did I marry the right person?" And as you and your spouse reflect on the euphoria of the love you once had, you may begin to desire that experience with someone else. This is when marriages breakdown. People blame their spouse for their unhappiness and look outside their marriage for fulfillment.

Extramarital fulfillment comes in all shapes and sizes. Infidelity is the most obvious. But sometimes people turn to work, a hobby, a friendship, excessiveTV, or abusive substances.


But the answer to this dilemma does NOT lie outside your marriage. It lies within it. I'm not saying that you couldn't fall in love with someone else. You could. And TEMPORARILY you'd feel better. But you'd be in the same situation a few years later. Because (listencarefully to this):
THE KEY TO SUCCEEDING IN MARRIAGE IS NOT FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON;
IT'S LEARNING TO LOVE THE PERSON YOU FOUND.

SUSTAINING love is not a passive or spontaneous experience. It'll NEVER just happen to you. You can't"find" LASTING love. You have to "make" it day in and day out. That's why we have the __expression "the labor of love."

Because it takes time, effort, and energy . And most importantly, it takes WISDOM . You have to know WHAT TO DO to make your marriage work.

Make no mistake about it. Love is NOT a mystery. There are specific things you can do (with or without yourspouse) to succeed with your marriage.

Just as there are physical laws of the universe (such as gravity), there are also laws for relationships. Just as the right diet and exercise program makes you physically stronger, certain habits in your relationship WILL make your marriage stronger. It's a direct cause and effect. If you know and apply the laws, the results are predictable...you can "make"love.

Love in marriage is indeed a "decision"... Not just a feeling.

p/s:

It is better to love imperfect person perfectly, rather than trying to find a perfect person to love. As a perfect person might be left you, to find the perfect one for him or her.

C.H.E.R.I.S.H your love~

Garam - Penyelesai Masalah

Sekadar cerita untuk dijadikan motivasi sekiranya kita mempunyai masalah.

Renungkan sejenak...

Seorang guru sufi mendatangi seorang muridnya ketika wajahnya kebelakangan ini selalu nampak murung dan sedih.

"Kenapa kau selalu murung dan sedih nak? Bukankah banyak hal yang indah di dunia ini? Ke mana perginya wajah bersyukurmu? " Si Guru bertanya..

"Guru, kebelakangan ini hidup saya penuh dengan masalah. Sukar bagi saya untuk tersenyum. Masalah datang seperti tiada akhirnya" jawab si murid muda.

Si Guru tersenyum. "Nak, ambil segelas air dan dua genggam garam, Bawalah kemari. Biar ku perbaiki suasana hatimu itu.

"Si murid pun beranjak perlahan tanpa semangat. Ia laksanakan permintaan gurunya itu, lalu kembali lagi membawa segelas air dan dua gengam garam sebagaimana yang diminta.

"Cuba ambil segenggam garam, dan masukkan ke segelas air itu, setelah itu cuba kau minum airnya sedikit" kata Si Guru.

Si murid pun melakukannya. Wajahnya kini meringis kerana meminum air yang sangat masin.
"Bagaimana rasanya?" Tanya Si Guru.
"Masin, dan perutku jadi mual," jawab si murid dengan wajah yang masih meringis.
Si Guru tersenyum sekali lagi apabila melihat wajah muridnya yang meringis kemasinan.

"Sekarang kau ikut aku." Si Guru membawa muridnya ke danau berhampiran tempat mereka. "Ambil garam yang segenggam lagi, dan tebarkan ke danau

"Si murid menebarkan segenggam garam yang tersisa ke danau, tanpa bicara. Rasa masin di mulutnya belum hilang. Ia ingin meludahkan rasa masin dari mulutnya, tapi tak dilakukannya. Rasanya kurang sopan meludah di hadapan gurunya itu, Begitulah fikirnya.

"Sekarang, cuba kau minum air danau itu," kata Si Guru sambil mencari batu yang cukup datar untuk didudukinya, bersebelahan pinggir danau.

Si murid menangkupkan kedua tangannya, mengambil air danau, dan membawanya ke mulutnya lalu meneguknya. Ketika air danau yang dingin dan segar mengalir di tekakkannya, Si Guru bertanya, "Bagaimana rasanya nak?"

"Segar, segar sekali Guru" kata si murid sambil mengelap bibirnya dengan tangannya. Tentu saja, danau ini berasal dari aliran sumber air di atas sana. Dan airnya mengalir menjadi sungai kecil di bawah. Dan sudah pasti, air danau ini juga menghilangkan rasa masin yang tersisa di mulutnya.

"Terasakah rasa garam yang kau tebarkan tadi?""Tidak sama sekali," kata si murid sambil mengambil air dan meminumnya lagi. Si Guru hanya tersenyum memperhatikannya, membiarkan muridnya itu meminum air danau tersebut sampai sepuas-puasnya.

"Nak," kata Si Guru setelah muridnya selesai minum. " Segala masalah dalam hidup itu seperti segenggam garam. Tidak kurang, tidak lebih.Hanya segenggam garam. Banyaknya masalah dan penderitaan yang harus kau alami sepanjang kehidupanmu itu sudah dikadarkan oleh Allah, sesuai untuk dirimu. Jumlahnya tetap sebegitu, Sebegitu, sebegitulah ia, tidak berkurang, tidak bertambah. Setiap manusia yang lahir ke dunia ini pun demikian. Tidak ada satu pun manusia, walaupun dia seorang Nabi, yang bebas dari penderitaan dan masalah.

"Si murid terdiam, mendengarkan."Tapi Nak, rasa `masin' dari penderitaan yang dialami itu sangat bergantung dari besarnya 'qalbu'(hati) yang menampungnya. Jadi Nak, supaya tidak terasa menderita, berhentilah jadi gelas. Jadikanlah qalbu dalam dadamu itu sebesar danau"

p/s:

Mungkin kita merasakan masalah kita sangat besar, tetapi percayalah jika kita melatih hati kita supaya lebih bertenang dan rasional dalam menyelesaikan masalah. Insyaallah segalanya akan pasti terungkai.
