    Every person is important so is every event of life. We tend to ignore or devalue a lot of events that

    happen in our life. This was a recent lesson that I learnt and which forced me to give it a deeper

    thought. One of the most important lessons that I learnt and which is so important for each one of

    us to learn and understand is that- Things that looked obvious were never obvious most of the

    times. They say one realizes the importance of a person or a thing only in his/her or its absence. I

    feel the best solution to it is living life in detail. Now, what do I mean when I say living life in detail?

    Its simple. It just means giving importance to every single second of yours. Everything is intercon-

    nected here in this world. You might have heard about a lot of achievers who achieve unbelievably

    amazing things at an age probably you would never have imagined. It is because only few imple-

    ment this powerful lesson of living life in detail.

    We waste a lot of time feeling bad about something that has gone into our past already and have

    nothing to do with the present except for the lessons derived from it. It is human to make mistakes.

    But it is our own responsibility to derive lessons out of these mistakes. Give life to every single mo-

    ment that you live and you shall experience what miracle actually means. Believe me, miracles do

    happen.

    There are many people who have already proved this in action. I am sure you are waiting to listen to

    them all. I thank you all for your wonderful feedbacks on our previous edition. We shall put all ef-

    forts to make it better every month. I thank all my authors for their brilliant contribution.

    Good luck!

    Stay inspired!

    Q1: Brief us about your background

    A: I am from Liverpool, oldest child of three. I am from a relatively poor part of Liver-pool. I attended a school in the 1% worst academic performance rates in the UK (theyear that I graduated). When I was 16, I had a life changing event happen to me itscalled the Hillsborough Disaster. It is still daily in the UK National news 24 years later.96 people died. I was in the Leppings Lane end where it all happened.

    This gave me a perspective that life is short. The media coverage a few days later underthe headline 'The Truth' by the Sun Newspaper - gave me an insight that people can beunethical and cruel...This gave the foundation for my ethics and drive.

    A teacher named Mary Wilson gave me my focus 6 months later. She saw that I wasgoing off the rails and asked me to write life plan, what I was going to do with myself.She helped this process by asking me what I was going to do. I said "be a writer, a nov-elist. She was an English teacher and said I wasnt yet good enough, "was I ok being apoor writer? she asked. I said, No. She said, Well, why dont you start a business,make lots of money, retire when 40 years old, and write books not caring whether theyare good enough to sell. Suddenly, I knew I was going to be an Entrepreneur.

    I back packed around the world for years exploring what business I would like to start(whilst having fun and learning the world). By the time I was 24, I had travelled the worldand knew what business it would be- a cultural exchange business.

    I started www.campleaders.com in 1999, then www.smallerearth.com in 2006. SmallerEarth Group now has 8 companies, 100 full time staff in offices in 10 countries.

    Q2: What does a day in the life of Chris Arnold include?

    A: The great thing about being an entrepreneur is that I make my own days, however,on an average day I have meetings and talk, nonstop between 9 AM to 6PM, in personand over skype, around the world. I go home, play, bathe and read books with my two

    Chris Arnold| Page3

    sons until about 8:30 PM. I have dinner with my wife and chat till about 9:30PM. Then start work, all the work that my talking has generated or follow up. Iwill sometimes have text/type chats with people around the world at that pointand normally finish the day about 2:30 AM. Thats a typical day.

    Q3: What was the tipping point for your Business?

    A: My first business, finding a couple of great staff for camp Leaders meantthat I found people who were good at complimentary things. I dont think CampLeaders would be as progressed if I hadn't found Andy Callendar 10 years ago.He is still on the team today. He is great at logistics and it took pressure off meand freed me up to be more entrepreneurial.

    Q4: What do you enjoy most about what you do?

    A: The knowledge that I am in the perfect place, that there isnt a single thing Iwould prefer to be doing on this planet. Yes, sometimes things could be easi-er, but I have the perfect position for the future - ambitious aims but a determi-nation and growing team to get there. Feels good!

    Q5: If you had to choose one thing, what do you think youre thebest in the world at?

    A: I am confident in my creativity. Good at innovative and fun solutions. I holdthe unofficial world record for the speed of setting up a business. Goingfrom conversation to incorporation to brand to website to first sale with1 hour as a challenge at the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in

    Shanghai, joint with a couple of others including Robert Actonfrom New Zealand and Mark Nagur from Seattle.

    I N S P I R A T I O N U N L I M I T E D

    Introduction(In his own words):

    I'm an entrepreneur who has learnt quite a bit of business leadership too over the years. My entrepreneurial spirit has put me in a position of Director in a

    number of companies and I hope I have a motivational style. Increasing success and experience has provided me with the chance to acquire new skills,

    like guest speaker, and also to become part of a number of steering groups and boards for regional and international organisations. Amongst others,

    these have included being Chair of the Further Education Enterprise Hubs Project, being on the Regional Board of what was the National Enterprise

    Academy, and being on the Steering Group for the 2012 Global Entrepreneurship Congress (it was my idea to bring it to Liverpool) and I was hugely glad

    to see it be a huge success for the city.

    I have a core aim of aggressively integrating cultural exchange and travel into education, citizenship and personal development. For me, traveling with a

    purpose and with the idea of giving something to an unfamiliar community is the best route to accelerated learning. I also have a passion to further enter-

    prise culture, as shown by some of the specific boards and steering groups I've worked on.

    All this has led to my biggest ever project... to be launched very soon... please watch out for WORLD MERIT*.

    Q6: How would you like people to remember you and your company?

    A:I value making things happen' above all else. And, being clever & intelligent.I dont care if they remember me but I want them to know World Merit and haveopportunity and aspirations raised globally. Its bigger than me, but it would benice if someone googles 'history of World Merit' or the other things, that they can

    read my story. Just getting ready.

    Q7: Whats one thing you would do differently?

    A:I would make more of my late teens. I was more focused than most but I didnthave enough confidence because I didnt understand enough about the world. Idont know.

    I would be smarter with my money and not so optimistic about so many invest-ments in those early years... still be entrepreneurial and take risks but not soscatter gun in my approach. Probably wasted millions all though I learnt a lot fromthat, so I am not sure that I should change that.

    Q8: Whats your greatest fear as an entrepreneur?

    A:Well now that I have World Merit, I am ok. .was boredom. Now I haveenough scope to be super excited about every day. Smaller Earth Group is prof-itable to the point of making my family secure and that is my only true responsibil-ity other than trying to improve the world.

    Q9: If you could offer a first-time entrepreneur only one piece of ad-vice, what would it be?

    A: Do something you are passionate about, and dont believe your own hype.

    Olga Sitnik | Page5

    Introduction:Olga Sitnik, co-founder at ExploRussia

    In ExploRussia, Olga takes care of sales, marketing, communica-

    tions and everything else that has to do with business develop-

    ment.

    Olga graduated from Novosibirsk State University with a degree

    in Sociology. After studies, Olga focused on digital marketing and

    project management within the e-commerce industry. She also

    has experience in event management and public speaking. Olga

    is the one who thinks out of the box, always trying new methods

    and innovative approaches.

    Olga comes from Novosibirsk, the most populous city in Siberia.

    After she'd moved to Moscow and started traveling across Europe

    and Asia, she realized just how little people know about her

    motherland and how many challenges they're facing when they're

    planning on visiting Russia. Her aim is to show the modern faceof Russia, with its creative people and positive vibe.

    the government. We have some programs for small entrepreneurs but again itdoesn't depend on gender.

    Q: How are you planning to expand your venture? What is yournext step towards its growth?

    OS:As of now, we are trying to establish B2B partnerships since we believe itcan be a good growth point for us. At the same time, we have made accent fortwo products. One product is a short tour - when you are already in the city, itis easy to book it and we believe that more people will be ready to buy some-thing smaller and for shorter period of time. The second product is a separateservice called Russia Planner wherein we help independent travellers to or-ganize their trip to Russia, plan everything, book places to visit, where to go,whom to talk etc. We believe that there is huge potential in the number of in-dependent tourists.

    Q: How are you networking and how many people are working for it?

    OS: To network, we go for some crucial events in industry in a year. For ex-ample, we just returned from ITB in Berlin. It is a huge travel show, the biggestin the industry. Here in Russia we go for networking events and take part inassociations.

    Q: Olga, how do you want the world to know you?

    OS: Very nice question! I want to be known as a responsible, bright entrepre-neur, who explored Russia for many people around the world. I believe thatcreating experiences is a wonderful thing to do in a life!

    Q: How do you balance your personal life and professional life?How is the support from your family?

    OS: The support here is very crucial. Starting from the sustenance point, youneed to sustain somehow even financially at first time, when you are only es-tablishing your business. So, you need support from your nearest ones. Myfiance is actually one of the co-founders. He is not involved full time in thisproject but still he supports me very much. My mom during first half of the yearwas saying "Well, when you will find the real job?" She thought that this projectof mine was one big joke but now she sees results and of course she is alwaysa great support in all my ventures.

    Q: Great.. Have you ever felt like giving up? If yes,how did you sustain in that stage?

    OS: Luckily I have never been there!

    Q: Let's start with a small introduction about you and your venture

    Olga Sitnik(OS): I am a Russian, originally was born in Novosibirsk, a city inSiberia. I studied sociology. Once I finished my studies, I had a chance to travelabroad for a while and one of the things that I found out was that people knewvery little about Russia. Of course none practically had been to the country.Though some wanted to visit Russia, it was not that popular place to go. Ithought that if so many people want to come to my country on one hand and onthe other, I love my country I should share its history, nature and people's liveswith the world. I have to do something about this! That's how we conceptualizedthis very simple idea to make a travel company for foreigners to make it easy tovisit Russia. We realized that it is not easy to come to the country, because peo-ple who work in the industry dont brand Russia as a fascinating destination. So,we decided to work on this.

    Q: Since when are you working on it? How old is your venture?OS: We started working in the year 2012 and launch happened in late autumn2012 and here comes our first summer - first peak and high season. So, we areready for the wave of travellers who would want to visit Russia.

    Q: What were the challenges that you faced while starting your ven-ture? And is it true that females have to face a lot of challengescompared to males?

    OS: Challenges! There were and still are a lot. Starting from the official part; wewanted to make it right from the very beginning, officially register the LLC, paytaxes and have transparent business in Russia. All these take a lot of time andefforts. On the other hand, we were trying to distinguish ourselves from others.Its a very hard and long process to realize as to why you are different, what isso special about you and why people actually should buy your product. All thesedo not happen in a trice. You have to be completely prepared when you go outto tell people about your project. People will definitely challenge you with ques-tions and if you don't know to answer then it is very embarrassing.

    Coming to your question about females, I feel it somehow stronger in Russia. Inever even thought of this question also. I mean it is difficult because once youwant to have a baby obviously you somehow press the pause button on yourproject but then you restart it. Of course there are more males in business and inpolitics in Russia. Fortunately my surrounding is more innovative and pioneering.As a result, I don't feel this difference due to gender. We are all just entrepre-neurs.

    Q: Do you get any special encouragement for women entrepreneursin Russia or is it all the same for everyone?

    OS: If I am not mistaken there is some kind of associations, but they are morelike talk-clubs not so concrete. They discuss about things like subsidies from

    Olga Sitnik | Page6

    Q: How important is the role of a mentor in a business and do youhave one?

    OS: Mentor is very important. I can say that I have one. He is one of ourstakeholders and one of his main roles is to mentor us. A mentor is a personwho helps you see the situation from a different perspective, helps you to seethe bigger picture, answers your questions and it is very crucial for someone tokeep asking you about the progress. Only then you start thinking :)

    Q: One reason why people should visit Russia?OS: Russia has everything: history, nature and people but not that wild as itseems to be.

    Q: Lastly a message to our IU e-Magazine readers

    OS: Dream and make your dreams come true and DREAM AGAIN!

    Q: And there are many entrepreneurs who are discouraged royally.What do you want to tell them?

    OS: One has to be persistent. Once you start in one direction for a while, youwill fail once, twice, thrice but on the fourth time. You are bound to succeed.

    Never be afraid to approach people (while selling them, partnering with them,trying to make co-operations\sales\whatever). Approach them once, twice andthe third time as well. The maximum they can do is to tell you No! But in theend you will get what you want. Patience and persistence are the 2 best friendsof an entrepreneur.

    Find something which makes you feel good - find a coach, who will give yousome inspirational thoughts or follow those entrepreneurs, who are role-modelsfor you.

    Brief us about yourself and your Background.

    I am Sourabh Koushal pursuing my B.Tech in electronics and communicationstream from Kurukshetra University. I am from Yamuna Nagar which is a smalldistrict in Haryana. I am also involved in space research from past 5 years ontopics such as Space Debris Mitigation and Space Elevator System. I haveproposed new methods such as nano technology recycling of waste junk andreplacement of space junk. I have written many research papers and submittedthem to some international and national organizations like NASA, ISRO, Mi-

    crosoft etc., and have received International and National awards for the same.

    Some of the awards that I have received are, Jerome Pearson award from In-ternational Space Elevator Consortium in association with Microsoft , Dr. Kal-pana Chawla Young Scientist award (the award was presented by KalpanaChawla's father) in 2012 and Young Innovator award for my innovation in thefield of Space Science and Technology at the International Innovation Summit.I was also the Finalist for the MIT PR 35 Young Innovator Award and wasnominated for Jerome Leaders Space Science award by IAASS Canada.

    How did you get the opportunity of being a part of Team Indus?

    Team Indus is the only Team in India which is competing for the global compe-tition of VLXP Lunar Rover. In 2009-2010 when I was in second year of myengineering, I came to know about Team Indus. One day, I came to knowabout GLXP Prize i.e Google Lunar X Space. Then, I visited the GLXP Team. Isaw the team who participated in the competition and came to know that therewas only one Indian team called Team Indus. So, I visited the Team Induswebsite and wrote to the owner and CEO of that particular team that I was alsoin the field of research and space science. Even their team was doing a re-search in Lunar Rover Mission. I wrote to them that I was very much fascinatedabout the space science but my background was electronics and communica-tion engineering. I put forward my request to work in the field of space scienceand to do some sort of Internship or research work in Team Indus. In 2011, Idid my internship with the GLXP Team Indus and I worked as a research as-sociate with TI and after that in 2012 I completed my engineering. Then, I onceagain searched for some research work or job related to Space science andtechnology but in India there was no private sector with respect to Space sci-ence except ISRO which is a government sector. I approached TI and pro-posed that I really wanted to join TI and do something in the field of Space sci-

    ence and technology. As a result, right now I am working with TI as a systemengineer and I am working on the power subsystem of the Lunar Rover mis-sion wherein I control the power subsystem of the Lunar Rover Lander.

    Initially, Rahul Narayan had taken my interview. He had asked me if I could ex-

    plain my research work. I explained about my research work and after that heagreed for Internship in 2009-2010 and in 2012 before joining Team Indus I didmy Internship in a Software Company in Bangalore. I did it to get an experiencein the field of IT sector but my ultimate aim was to work in the field of space sci-ence and technology.

    How many people are working in the team and who is leading the Team?

    There are 5-6 youngsters from IITs and Pratik from Georgia from US. He is the

    group leader and another student from IIT and some interns are also working in

    this team of TI. Rahul Narayan is leading the Team. Majority are from IITs while I

    am not an IITian! (Laughs)

    Apart from that, I am also am an INK fellow and I am also in association with the

    TEDx Team. I have worked with many events as well. I had spoken at the Global

    Tedx conference, Pune, TEDxBITS, Goa on 24th Feb this year. I was invited as

    a speaker at IIT Delhi and I spoke at Savita University, Chennai. I also spoke at

    INK + Media Lab Event, Coimbatore and Chennai.

    How do you manage time?

    I am working with Team Indus full time. Apart from that I take 1 or 2 days leaveand I attend talks at many events. I am planning to take sessions on space sci-ence in April in Bangalore. Professors from MIT, Harvard, Boston and NASA willbe a part of the event. I will be presenting classes regarding satellite designing,Lunar Rover mission, Space elevator system, Virtual cockpit and how aircraftswill work?

    What are you passionate about?

    When I was in class 12, I was always interested in the concept of Human life inSpace. I always wanted to become an aerospace or a space engineer. I gave theIIT examination but wasnt qualified for that examination. I got admission in oneof the private universities. When I came to know about the fee structure forAero-Space engineering which was 30-40 Lakhs, I dropped that option andwent for electronics and communication. Still, I was really passionate aboutspace science.

    What actually triggered you to take up space science? An incident, sub-ject or a person, what motivated you?

    There was a competition by NASA called space orbitor colony. I had passedclass 12th and then I came to know about that competition. I lost the opportuni-ty to submit the proposal to NASA. But I wasnt disappointed. This event tri g-

    gered my passion about space science

    Was it the competition by NASA that actually triggered you to think aboutHuman life in Space?

    Definitely! When I was in 1st year, I started researching more on Space sci-ence technical papers. Initially, I was discouraged by many people includingthe Chairman of my college, Secretary and many other people. My friends al-ways made fun of me. They said to me, You are an electronics engineer andnow you are doing research in space science. But still at the age of 18 I wrotemy very first research paper and sent it to International space elevator consor-tium. I was hoping for the best as it was my first ever research paper. I wasntvery good in writing research paper. However, I wrote the research paper andsubmitted it to ISAAC USA. After 5-6 months, when the results came out myvery first research paper stood runner-up in GEROME World globally and itwas the start of my research career in the f ield of space science and after that Iwrote many other research papers for 25 International conferences.

    I am doing my research not for the sake of some award but for the develop-ment of society, humanity and for the development of the nation. I really wantto propose new technology which will be beneficial for humanity, society andfor the development of our nation.

    How are your parents supporting you and it would have been very diffi-cult for you with absolutely no support from friends and people around?

    My parents always supported me in my studies. They always said that, If youreally want to do further studies in the field of space science in future then gofor it.

    Was there any pressure to take up a job?

    I didnt have any pressure. I wanted an experience and thats why I joined asoftware company. I need to be technically strong.

    What is your exact role in project Indus?

    I take care of the power subsystem of Lunar Lander. This power subsystemtakes care of the power supply of the entire mission from the t ime the vehicle islaunched to until it brought back. It controls the power given to the sensors, thebatteries, the motors and other parts of the Lunar Lander.

    What are the problems that you faced?

    Team Indus is different from Research. During my research work, I have facedmany problems with mentorship, guidance and job. I didnt have proper men-torship as I was from a small place from Haryana and my college didnt supportany such activity. I wrote to many scientists in India and they responded in 6-7months which demotivated me to do research work but on the other hand whenI proposed a new technology and mailed it to experts of NASA, they respondedwithin 24 hrs. That is the difference between India and US. Apart from this,there were some financial issues as well.

    I wrote to the Government of India and various other people. I wrote to Dr. APJAbdul Kalam sir, our honourable Prime Minister of India and then to the CM of mystate but unfortunately Government of India never supported space science andtechnology. I have met many students who say that they have some innovativeideas, but they dont have any sort of platform. So, even they are facing the sameproblems that I faced during my research work.

    I really want to be of help and provide platform to all the students. I want to createa private space sector in India. Its a dream to start up in the field of Space Sci-ence in India. So, now I am also working on learning as to how to setup a privatespace startup in India. We have just started and we will be taking up workshopsand events in various universities. Our first event was on 13th and 14th of April, atJalandhar in Lovely Profession University to about 1000 students. Satellite de-signing workshop, automobile workshop and guest lecture by chief scientistswere part of our agenda. We are planning to have examinations and hire the beststudents to start with the Mars mission. That will be the next big thing in India. Iwant to create jobs in India in the field of space science and technology.

    Is there a funding problem with Team Indus?

    May be there is. I am not sure but I think there is. Team who wins the competitiongets 30 million dollars as funding from Google. 2015 we should be launchingpositively. Right now we are in conversation with the chairman and people inISRO for guidance and mentorship to launch the Lunar Lander.

    Which was the toughest call of life?

    Firstly in class 12th, I failed to get in aerospace. Second I got into engineering.Whenever I went for a interview and interviewee would ask for a resume, theywould ask me there is a mismatch. I was rejected and told that I need to checkout with Space science companies. When I went to space science companies,they would tell me you are not an aerospace engineer. I faced a lot of problems.You should have an experience when you want to become an entrepreneur andfor that sake I wanted a job to open a space science technology company. Manyare really facing the problem. That is why I want to start up my company.

    Which was the most difficult point in life?

    It was to take ECE and leave Aerospace engineering though I was interested inthe later. I believed that no matter which engineer you are you can enter intospace science. Its a combination of all streams of engineering but you need ex-perience.

    Is media exposure a necessity?

    Definitely! It is a necessity. I spoke in different conferences. As a result, now, thestudents interact with me and also write to me. It plays a major role in giving amessage to the government.

    Mohan BN(Mohan): A brief introduction of yourself for the world to know youbetter and as you would want them to know you.

    Maria Fernanda Gandara(MFG):My name is Maria Fernanda Gandara. Im24 years old and I'm a proud and happy Mexican but also a citizen of the world.I believe in my family, my friends, passion, sharing, impact, inspiration, dreams,but most importantly I am happy.

    Mohan: What were the lessons learned during the journey of social entrepre-neurship?

    MFG: The importance of teamwork, the importance of having fun while work-ing, importance of mentors. My mentors are Clelia, Director of entrepreneur-ship and Alvaro Rodriguez Arregui.

    Mohan: What was the problem that gave birth to your idea? What problemdoes your idea resolve?

    MFG: Celebrating The World is my venture. I started to have friends aroundthe world, and I started to be interested in what moved them, and in not justknowing about them by projects or the news (that are mostly negative). I want-ed to know about the amazing things that were going on, and to understandreligions and cultures. Celebrating the world helps in creating empathy, creat-ing better global citizens.

    Mohan: How did you combat the obstacles that challenged you during the im-plementation of your idea?

    MFG: I had to give a lot of time to it! There's a lot of sacrifice, fun and focusrequired. There are lots of those people who don't believe in what you are do-ing. It takes times to implement your idea, to decide where to reach and whatpath to choose.

    Mohan: What is the degree of duplicability of your idea in other parts of theworld?

    MFG: it's already in the world. In one weekend 40+ countries supported theconcept. Its going from global to local. There are currently 25 COUNTRYCHAMPIONS. A network of 152 countries, social media, networks like OneYoung World, World Economic Forum, Global Shapers Community, and Merithave endorsed the idea.

    Mohan: What vision do you want to share with the youth of the globe?

    MFG: Today, since we are closer than before and more connected we havebecome a part of a global family/village and we have to be more committed

    each day to solve the most important challenges of our community (local, na-tional and global). I envision a world with shared values and purposes thatunited will take this planet to be better for the future generations.

    Mohan: How can the public support the upcoming social entrepreneurship ven-tures?

    MFG: Public as in people should be ready to change the way they see business,to choose the ones that have greater impact and can benefit the society, to investin social ventures as once it was philanthropy, to see for sustainability and to seesocial entrepreneurship as the best way to solve the most pressing challenges.

    Mohan: What are the key qualities that a social entrepreneur should possess ac-cording to you?

    MFG: BUSINESS ie Business knowledge. You need to know that businessshould be sustainable to have impact and to scale the impact. Also communityknowledge is not just something what you think is right but what communityneeds.

    Mohan: What is your message that you want our readers to take back from yourstory?

    MFG: To have big dreams and to believe so much in them that you will take theminto action, to be open to possibilities, to take the time you are living as the besttime to do what you want and not tomorrow or sometime later in the future. Todaymust be the day to solve problems that are important for the people and for theworld. Think global! It doesn't matter if you know or not what you need to makeyour dreams come true. If you believe in the impact your dream can have and thepossibilities it will bring you then you will find the ways to make it a reality. Learn,share, impact, inspire and keep growing!

    Spring is coming!! And Peter Cottontail is just hopping around thecorner with Easter Sunday coming up! Easter has always been agood holiday for me and I always have the best memories because

    of it.

    I always remember coloring eggs. Its a time consuming process ifyou want the colors to be really vivid, and at the time, I wasnt reallya patient person. Instead, I would end up having really light pastelcolored eggs and I would end up whining about how my eggswerent as pretty as my older sisters eggs. She knew how to wait,unlike myself. But, we would always color the eggs the night beforebecause in the morning, my parents would hide all of the eggsaround the front rooms of the house and we would have to find themall.

    It was a lot of fun, and eventually, finding them in the house was get-ting too easy, so my parents started hiding them in our front yardand our neighbors would come over to hang out with my parentswhile they watched and kept count of how many eggs we were find-ing. You see, they would count the eggs beforehand because wewere using fresh hard-boiled eggs and it would smell really bad if we

    didnt find one. Which, one year, we werent able to find one of theeggs.

    Although, I have a feeling that it wasnt our problem that we couldntfind the egg, I think my cat started playing with it and it fell or rolledsomewhere else. Now, I only suspect my cat because earlier thatmorning, my older sister was sitting by one of the f illed egg cartons

    and my cat, Freddy, started creeping his way across the patio tabletoward the eggs and was attempting to gnaw on them! When Am-ber, my sister, saw what he was doing and guarded the eggs by

    putting her arm around the carton and pulled them toward her.Thats when Freddy decided that he didnt like having the eggs tak-en away and gave Amber a little nip before scampering away!

    That wasnt all we did on Easter though. We would also go out tobreakfast with my neighbors, or drive over to Irvine to have anotherEaster Egg Hunt at my grandparents house! The kids would alsoreceive Easter baskets with a plush bunny and some chocolatesinside of it. (That was the best part!)

    Truthfully, Easter has always been my favorite because I cant rea l-ly remember a time where it wasnt beautiful outside every time itcame around and all of the bright colored Easter grass that wouldbe inside of the basket, the yummy candies that we would receive,and the fun time that we would have with the family just makes itthe best time for me.

    I know there are many ways to celebrate Easter and I hope that all

    of you readers have fun this Easter. If you dont celebrate Easter,then I hope that you have fun and just enjoy being around family.You dont really need a reason to celebrate being together. We tryto celebrate family, life and laughter as often as we can. My wishfor you is that you find a time to laugh a lot every day with yourfamily or friends.

    A novel is big. Its long and complicated and takes a big investmentof time. You have to fill a lot of pages and do it well. Do I have agood opening hook? Is the pace okay? Did I make my hero tough

    but still loveable? What tense am I in? What name did I give the dogway back in chapter 2? Sometimes a book is so big its hard to seeall the way to the end. And we give up.

    But a short story iswell, short. Short stories are quick to write andrewrite. Short stories dont have time to get too complicated. Theyhave the same rules as a novel, but they are streamlined. Its easyto see in 1000 words where you need to fix the tense or put in a bet-ter description. You can complete a project without dedicating 6-8months to it like you do when you commit to a novel.

    Short stories have characters, goals, motivations, and conflicts justlike a full length novel. The story should include the protagonist(character), the antagonist (could be a person or a situation to over-come or a goal), something at stake (motivation), and an obstacle(conflict). In addition your story should focus on what changes notwhat happens, include a hook or unique element, and have emo-tional appeal. All in about four pages. Easy, right?

    All writers should try a short story. The lack of subplots and the needto write tight makes it easier to stay on track. When there are issueswith a shorter work, you can more easily find the problem becauseits not buried under the many layers of a novel. Novels are simplyshort stories with more subplots and twists. Short stories range from700 words up to 5000 words. The average magazine story length is1500-2000 words. Anything under 1000 words is called a shortshort.

    But why am I writing a short story you ask? Theres a market forthem. Many magazines publish fiction and some pay well. You donthave to have an agent to submit stories to magazines, reputablemagazines such as Good Housekeeping, Family Circle, WomansWorld in the US, or My Weekly and the Weekly News in the UK. Liketo write mysteries? Try Ellery Queen or Alfred Hitchcock magazines.A Google search of magazines that accept short stories will leaveyou pleasantly surprised. For a fee Duotrope and Writers Market

    both offer online lists of places to submit your work and even giveyou submission guidelines. You will need to do some research to

    find the best fit for the kind of stories you write. There are also many,many short story contests you can enter. Some have a cash prizesor publication in a major magazine.

    Here are some tips to writing short.

    1. Make every word count. Instead of saying that nasty meankid in high school, cut it down to teen bully.

    2. Be clear. Even though you dont have much space, you stillhave to get the story across. If your character is acting badlybecause of his past, we need to know what that past is butjust a very brief version of it. Bitter divorce or smotheringmothertells it all.

    3. Cut out the fluff. Yes, its nice that the hotel room has amarble tub and gold faucet and thick plush carpeting. In ashort story we dont have the space for all that. Richly ap-pointed.

    4. Be visual. Instead of talking about the neighbor as Richardalittle trick is to describe him. The vegetarian fireman or thehusband stealing blonde next door. It will give the reader abetter picture than just a name.

    5. Focus on the core conflict.We dont have time forsubplots.Man robs bank; man runs from cops; man learns some kindof lesson.

    6. Choose compelling verbs. Struggles is more evocative thandecides. Wheezedgives a better picture than breathed.

    7. Start off with a bang. Get right to the problem or inciting in-cident. Grab your reader right away. You dont have the wordlength to talk about how he/she is dressed or the weather orhave chit chat with the co-workers. First thing rob the bank,crash the car, or have the lovers walk away from each other.

    8. Make us like your characters. While a strong opening to ashort story is essential, the characters are the glue that hold ittogether. Remember to show not tell. He was very tall andhandsome vs looks that made woman turn and stare.

    9. Choose your point of view and tense and stick to it. Who istelling the story? The school teacher? Okay, tell it from herpoint of view and dont change it.

    10. Put your story in the proper orderand have it make sense.

    It should read smoothly. Mary bought some eggs. Her broth-ers flight was late. Last week she got some bad news. Con-fused? Me too.

    We lay at the mercy of ourselves. We are sole controllers of

    our own lives. It's up to us whether we want to grow or slowour progress charts. The S.I units provide a standard meas-urement for all the physical quantities that exist in this universebut there can be no standard set for measuring growth or suc-cess that can be universally accepted. Hence it's left to eachone of us to have our very own standards and work towardsraising them every time we meet them.

    This whole process of taking goals, working towards them andaccomplishing them should be followed by the most importantand prominent step called self-evaluation. Introspection is thetime that we invest on recalling and thinking of all the work thatwe have done in the recent days of the past and start evaluat-ing them one by one. During self-evaluation we have to be re-ally honest with ourselves to make sure that we are not givingexcuses for any of our inabilities to fulfill the work require-ments. We should be honest enough to accept our faults andmust plan to curb our shortcomings. During self-evaluation we

    should be able to clearly list down the number of different ac-tivities that we have been a part of and then scan through eachone of them in detail. If we have performed up to the mark,then we need to continue the same, if we have exceeded ex-pectations we should appreciate and reward ourselves and ifwe have failed our own or organization's expectations, weshould look in further detail to find out the real reasons of fail-ure.

    Though self-evaluation includes both appreciating oneself forsuccess as well as punishing oneself for failure, more focusshould be on making plans to convert the past failures into fu-ture successes. Hence yardsticks have to be set for everywork that we are a part of, so that we can evaluate our perfor-mance each time and improve every next time. Listing down all

    the activities and subjecting oneself to self-evaluation will give

    us a filtered list of unfinished tasks that we need to work uponand for which we need to nurture or change certain of ourskills, talents and attitudes. We have to make a separate listfor these expected changes and new stuff on which we needto work and develop a plan of action to accomplish.

    As we take upon more and more work of diversity, only thenwill we be able to tap out different qualities and strengths ofours. There can be hundreds of them who might like, com-ment, judge, appreciate, criticize, evaluate our work and as-sign rewards or penalties but it is much more our own respon-sibility to evaluate ourselves because nobody can be with us tohave a vigilance over all that we do all the time apart from weourselves. Only when we strictly evaluate our ownselves canwe understand our shortcomings and work on them to excelthe next time. Man is a hidden treasure of unlimited potential. Itneeds to be excavated. For being excavated, first, there needsto be a sense of lack of this potential which has been respon-

    sible for the failures which can be known only when we under-go a self-evaluation procedure. Once it is known, we shallwork upon ourselves to extract the hidden talents and skills inus and exhibit them to the outer world.

    Unfortunately most of the people in this world just drift awaywith time without evaluating self and by only listening to others'comments and opinions and acting accordingly. As a result,they don't exercise the complete potential of being a humanand live half-empty lives. Every hidden talent in us is a treas-ure to the outside world. It's a sin if we don't exploit our skills todevelop this world into a better place. Hence, we must timeand again evaluate our thoughts, words and actions by sub-jecting ourselves to self-evaluation procedure regularly andconstantly upgrade and uplift ourselves rather than just waitingfor the world to evaluate and rate us.

    laden connection, for who has not done something just like this atsome time or another. Giving voice to my miss matching, couchingit in humor and emphasizing the peace that comes from admittingwe are all human was the ticket to a relaxed and positive beginningof the meeting.

    How often are we worried about how we appear to others and ourvoice is one of apprehension? How often do we concern ourselveswith perfection, fall short of the mark, and voice shame to ourselvesand others? How often can we blame someone or something elsefor a problem and dwell in an angry voice?

    Maybe it is time to ask ourselves the question, What kind of voiceam I in this world?Maybe it is time to ask ourselves the question, What kind of voicedo I want to be for this world? The energy of our collective voicescan be a powerful one. Harnessing this kind of energy is only a

    matter of choice. It is only a simple matter of moving out of the inkydarkness and into a light filled room.

    In a rush to leave home, late for an important meeting, I hurriedlydressed for the day. This time of the morning is darker than blackink for the sun is not yet up for hours. I quietly gathered my clothesfrom the drawers in the corner dresser and my shoes from thecloset and dressed in the darkness, unwilling to disturb the sleep ofthose in the house. Gathering my files and coffee mug, I slipped outthe door and into my car.

    Arriving just in time for my meeting, I swung my legs out of the carto step onto the pavement. I had on two VERY different socks. Onany other day, this would not have mattered, but today, the pair ofshoes I had on did not cover my blunder. The sock on my left footwas green, and the sock on my right was purple. To add insult tothis injury, todays meeting involved a presentation in front of thegroup.

    What to do? Well, I decided to give it voice. As I was introduced,

    stood up, and walked to the front of the room, I began to smile, andthen smiled some more. Almost laughing, I pointed out the imper-fection in my appearance. Immediately, the room filled with a humor

    Although it may seem to you that you are being diminished by thestruggles, you are actually being fortified.

    You are indeed changed by the difficulties, but always ultimately forthe better. You grow through experiencing hard times, not despiteof them, but because of them. This personal growth is always agood thing. For the rest of your life, you will carry with you theknowledge that you never gave up, and that you overcame difficultcircumstances. Remembering your courage will help encourageyou to move forward through challenging circumstances in the fu-ture.

    The road to your current position has been a winding one, full oftwists and turns, of hills and valleys. There will be many more suchroads and journeys in your life, all filled with highs and lows. But atthe end of each road, you will find yourself in a position of strength.

    Always remember that things do get better. There is no reason todespair or see yourself as stuck just because your situation has de-teriorated and your life seems to have become unrecognizable toyou.

    There is hope. There is an end to the ups and downs. There reallyis. It may take time, and a lot of effort, but you can wade throughthe muck and detritus, and you will come back to yourself and real-ize that, in fact, you never really left yourself at all.

    To everyone out there who is going through hardships, please knowthat there is a way out of the struggle. Keep moving on. Situationsinevitably change and you can reach a point of calm from which youcan review the past and look to the future.

    That point in time could be closer than you think.

    Everyone goes through troubling times in their lives. Some peoplewant to give up during their difficulties, but that is not the best way tomove forward and work through negative circumstances.

    There are some who believe that part of the purpose of human life isto experience the most we can, and those experiences can be nega-tive or positive.

    By struggling through low points and easing through high points, youget to experience all sides of human nature and of human existence.You are able to transcend the limitations of a narrow viewpoint whichan entirely smooth path would give you. The difficulties can also giveyou a greater appreciation of the good times that you have. Nothingis lost in hardships; rather, great things are gained. You actually en-rich your life by persevering.

    There is also a lot to be learned from difficult experiences. You canlook around you and see who supported you throughout your tough

    times and realize that those who abandoned you in your time ofneed were not really true friends after all. You can look at yourselfand become aware of how strong you are and how much strongeryou have become from pushing through your difficult times. You canrealize how much more you might be able to accomplish with yourhard-earned and ever increasing strength. Overall, you gain morefrom your difficult times than you think you have lost.

    Instead of seeing yourself as a failure, recognize that you are a suc-cess just by fighting against the hardships, by never giving up. It isimportant to know that just by the very act of living, you are thrivingin a difficult situation. It may not seem that way to you while you arein the thick of the pain and hardships, but the truth is that every stepyou take through the rough times makes you stronger. So, neverthink of yourself as permanently damaged by the hard times.

    Dr. Peter Lind | Page17

    More powerful antibiotics mean more bacterial mutations. 75% ofyour immune system is in the mucosa of your gastrointestinal tract.It is in the lining of your mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small

    intestine, and colon. This is your first line of defense.

    Over time, your immune system has been beaten down throughstress, bad foods, and a host of toxins, including microbes. In addi-tion there is the assault on the immune system that comes from thepresence of abnormal yeast and fungi and bacteria in the gut. Manypeople have a deficiency of normal flora in the colon and an over-growth of bacteria in the small intestine.

    Research shows, for example, that those with chronic fatigue syn-drome have a deficiency of normal flora in the colon, yet a bacterialovergrowth in the small intestine, and that that combination of ab-normal flora increases pro-inflammatory cytokines --- with a particu-lar Th2-dominant cytokine profile.

    The entire gamut of immune imbalances; including elevated in-flammatory cytokines, low natural killer cell function, high CD8+ cy-totoxic lymphocytes, high CD38 and HLA-DR activation markers,

    high CD28+ T cells, and low CD11b expression, along with defectsin T cell and natural killer cell activation associated with protein ki-nase C, can all be of gastrointestinal origin.

    A person today has the immune resistance far less than a personyears ago. Of course this person today is ingesting far more antibi-otics than ever before.

    It was bound to happen.

    This was bound to happen. Sooner or later the bacteria will mutateinto a genome to adapt to their world; no matter what antibioticsthey are given. The strongest survive.

    The overuse of antibiotics over the last several decades has madea case for evolutionary changes for bacteria. An antibiotic for thesimplest physical complaints has gotten people into the habit ofasking for an antibiotic for every occasion. Were even getting theminjected into our food. Bacteria can no longer hide. No wonder theyare escaping the latest antibiotics.

    But now resistant bacteria are getting stronger and invading partsof the body where they do not belong, like the bloodstream, lungsor urinary tract. These illness are becoming untreatable. The deathrate from bloodstream infections can reach 50 percent.

    Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Center for Disease Control,called the organisms nightmare bacteria, and noted that theycould pass their trait for drug resistance encoded in a scrap ofgenetic material called a plasmid along to other bacteria.

    According to a new report by the disease centers, among all infec-tions with gut bacteria, the proportion caused by carbapenem - re-sistant types rose to 4 percent in 2012, from 1 percent in 2001;among infections caused by one type of bacteria, Klebsiella, 10percent have become resistant, compared with 2 percent a decadeago.

    When Penicillin was introduced by Alexander Fleming in 1928, itwas a miracle drug, curing infections of all kinds. Now you rarelyhear about it; we have more powerfulantibiotics.

    SpiesEnter our privateLivesI stop at the thought& sleepLies are free

    DeepWithin me& a dominant eye

    Nothing is foreverI discoverA collection of othersI smile to hideTears swell in my reddened eyesI feel like a fool

    I dont have the breath to dreamWhy do they separate the trees?Entering the small details of lifeMagnify youI remind myselfIts not forever

    Without a dominant eye

    A Dominant Eye

    When they were hereDancing over the rare musical tunesThey made me scaredBy the silly, things they doIn front of the crowdThey believed in themselvesInside they were sadBut any how they were making

    Best fake faceWith the smile

    They shout and make jokesTo spread smile who have it notWith the best fake face?They deliver the happiness all over the placeAnd they are happy this way

    Best fake face

    Whose outmost is always successWorking hands those never rest,"An idle mind is the devil's workshop"which fails in every test;After sundown, those who riseOpportunities fade and they only weepAnd its always correct that is said-"As you sow, so shall you reap"

    A cactus is watered whenNeither from it, flowers are born,nor any fruits arise from itOnly it grows with its thorns;Labor turns stones into gold

    but sloth changes it into straw's heapAs its always correct that is said-"As you sow, so shall you reap"

    Wakeful minds never give upDefeats give up on their only way,Stronger is their bond of HopeThat success is a little far away;Sweeter we tasted, honey of busy bees, butCan monkey's mother ever be a sheep?So, its always correct that is said-"As you sow, so shall you reap"

    As you sow, so shall you reap

    Success in life will have a permanent stay,Only if you chuck the wrong and choose the right way!!!If you dont bend your morals even for a grand pay,Then success will certainly be at your bay.

    A lot of opportunities lie in threat,You just have to cling on to hopes thread.

    Mere failure shouldnt make you go red!!!Just think YOU ARE THE BEST when you go to bed.

    Secret behind Success

    Open your eyes and see the sun-rise,Stop brooding over past if you are really wise!!!Before quitting and leaving just think twice,Only after a dark night the bright day arrives!!!
