Secrets of Success
“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results” Albert Einstein.
We(humans) are slaves of time and space, we can’t go either future or past.Success will mean different things to different people. In modern times, traditional ideas of success means getting impressive job titles, high salaries, fame etc. There have been numerous studies that have shown people who set goals are more likely to succeedthan people who do not. By setting goals, you focus your attention on a target which, in turn, focuses your mind on finding ways to get there. Some psychologists think, people with high I.Q are most successful. But there have been many cases seen that people with high I.Q committed suicide. “ E.Q is more important than I.Q” Prof Goal Man.
First of all I want to tell you, according to my opinion, what is real success, then I will tell you about the human mind powers, lead human towards success, which i have been observed as well as experienced in my short life. The real success is that you must be succeed in at least 7 aspects of life.
1. Health
2. Education
3. Financial
4. Social Interaction
5. Family relations
6. Tourism
7. Spirituality
Now lets elaborate them by talking about their secrets, as we know, there are thousands of thoughts we think in a day. The amazing fact is that these all thoughts are useless, example: I should eat rice, train station, crowd of people etc. Most of the thoughts are repeated. We don’t think something new. It means that we don’t have control on our mind. To get control on mind first of all we should control on our emotions, to get control on emotions, first of all we should understand emotions i.e Anger, Fear, Happiness, Sadness, etc.Lets talk about Anger and take a test whether we have control on our emotions or not? suppose you are having a walk in a pleasantmood, suddenly someone came in front of you and abuse you without any reason now what will be your reaction? If your pleasant mood changes to unpleasant then suppose that your mind is being controlled by someone else. It means you can’t be successful in your life.
To get real success in life we should make at least 10 goal settings in each of the above mentioned aspects of life, for example for health we should have a plan for our health, either what is good or bad for my health. What we have to eat, how much we have to eat and how much time we have to spend on eating etc. we can make these goals but first we have to put away some barriers which obstruct. Here i m gonna discuss few barriers.
1. Loving to disloyal person, which is the biggest barrier. Nature loves beauty but real beauty, we always use to love temporary beauty, for example if you love a woman which is beautiful to you but she looks like beautiful to anyone else and even after her death her beauty will be vanished within 3 days. Lets take another example, suppose if you bought a beautiful clothes from market which you like, after one year their beauty wont remain same as before so these are the examples of temporary beauty. Real beauty is only for God. He only deserves for it.
2. The second thing is to control your emotions yourself, don’t let others to control your mind, your emotions as we have seen elaborately in the above example.
3. Setting your financial goals puts you in charge of your money and your life. Your goals can be short or long term, small or large, but they all need to be achievable. The first step to getting sorted is to work out where you want to be financially and what your priorities are. Be specific, realistic, and write down your goals. Keep each goal simple and give it a time frame and a dollar amount.Set some big goals - like buying a home in the next five years or saving for your retirement (this could be your biggest goal of all).Set some smaller goals to help you get there – like saving for a deposit or paying off your credit cards.
4. For education goal settings you should have a study plan what, which and when you have to study the concerned course. you should have a list of your education goals then you should think about it daily how can you complete them.Secrets of Goal Setting.
1 Write clear and measurable goals.
2 Create a specific action plan for each goal.
3 Read your goals daily and visualize yourself accomplishing them.
4 Reflect on your progress to see if you are on target.
5 Revise your action plans if needed.
6 Celebrate your accomplishments.
Each step in the process is important, and if you follow the process, you'll increase your chances of success dramatically. Thousands of people have used similar methods to achieve their dreams, and your students can learn to do the same.I hope you would like my article.

Parabola

 When you kick a soccer ball (or shoot an arrow, fire a missile or throw a stone) it arcs up into the air and comes down again ...

Definition

A parabola is a curve where any point is at an equal distance from:

• a fixed point (the focus ), and
• a fixed straight line (the directrix )

Get a piece of paper, draw a straight line on it, then make a big dot for the focus (not on the line!).
Now play around with some measurements until you have another dot that is exactly the same distance from the focus and the straight line.
Keep going until you have lots of little dots, then join the little dots and you will have a parabola!

Names

Here are the important names:

• the directrix and focus (explained above)
• the axis of symmetry (goes through the focus, at right angles to the directrix)
• the vertex (where the parabola makes its sharpest turn) is halfway between the focus and directrix.

Reflector

And a parabola has this amazing property:

Any ray parallel to the axis of symmetry gets reflected off the surface straight to the focus.

And that explains why that dot is called the focus ...

... because that's where all the rays get focused!

So the parabola can be used for:

• satellite dishes,
• radar dishes,
• concentrating the sun's rays to make a hot spot,
• the reflector on spotlights and torches,
• etc

We also get a parabola when we slice through a cone (the slice must be parallel to the side of the cone).

 

Equations Place the parabola on the cartesian coordinates (x-y graph) with: its vertex at the origin "O" and its axis of symmetry lying on the x-axis, then the curve is defined by: y2 = 4ax

Example: Where is the focus in the equation y²=5x ?

Converting y² = 5x to y² = 4ax form, we get y² = 4 (5/4) x,
so a = 5/4, and the focus of y²=5x is:

F = (a,0) = (5/4,0)

The equations of parabolas in different orientations are as follows:

y2 = 4ax	y2 = -4ax	x2 = 4ay	x2 = -4ay

Measurements for a Parabolic Dish

If you want to build a parabolic dish where the focus is 200 mm above the surface, what measurements do you need?
To make it easy to build, let's have it pointing upwards, and so we choose the x² = 4ay equation.
And we want "a" to be 200, so the equation becomes:

x² = 4ay = 4 × 200 × y = 800y

Rearranging so we can calculate heights:

y = x²/800

And here are some height measurements as you run along:

	Distance Along ("x")	Height ("y")
	0 mm	0.0 mm
	100 mm	12.5 mm
	200 mm	50.0 mm
	300 mm	112.5 mm
	400 mm	200.0 mm
	500 mm	312.5 mm
	600 mm	450.0 mm
