Break Destructive Habits
by Jane Powell
“Change the way you think and you’ll change the way you feel.”
Breaking the habit of negative thinking and replacing it with an “I can and I will” attitude is the change called for by inner confidence.
Negative thinking can be so interwoven in the fabric of whom you are that it is natural to assume it’s normal. It’s not! Breaking the cycle of negative thinking means you must acknowledge and face your harsh inner critic.
You have strengths, skills and talents. Recognizing and believing in them is what confidence is all about. When you are confident, it’s easy to feel great, because your inner critic becomes your inner champion!
You’re only a moment away from making real progress. One
Small effort can get you started.
It’s nice and comfortable to stay where you are, without
Taking action, without making progress. Yet after a while
That comfort turns into stagnation, and you’ll feel painful
Regret for not moving forward.
Now, however, you have the opportunity to avoid that regret.
Now, you have the chance to make valuable use of this very
Moment.
It really doesn’t take much to get started, and the payoff
Can be enormous. Once you make that first small effort, the
Next one comes more easily, and the one after that even more
Easily.
Soon, you’ll have real, solid momentum. And before long,
You’ll have a real, valuable achievement.
Life is yours right now to live. Start with one small
Effort, and fulfill your greatest possibilities.
Matter of choice
Life is always a matter of choice. Whatever the circumstances may be, you can choose the level at which you live.
You can choose what to think about the various events that play out in front of your eyes. You can choose how to respond to the challenges and opportunities that come into your life.
When you choose to consistently and persistently follow a particular purpose, you will manifest that purpose in the world around you. When you choose to focus your thoughts and efforts on things of meaningful value, you will create more value.
In the next few hours, or in the next few moments, anything can happen. It may be what you planned or it may be a total surprise.
Yet whatever may happen, you can choose what to do about it. Though you are subject to many powerful forces and influences, you can choose the way you deal with them.
The life you live is a matter of choice. Choose wisely, and live richly.

Chocolate Age Calculator
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATHEMATICS
Don’t tell me your age; you’d probably lie anyway-but the Thornton Man will know!
YOUR AGE BY CHOCOLATE MATH
This is pretty neat.
DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST!
It takes less than a minute .
Work this out as you read .
Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun.
1. First of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but less than 10)
> 2. Multiply this number by 2 (just to be bold)
> 3. Add 5
> 4. Multiply it by 50 — I’ll wait while you get the calculator
> 5. If you have already had your birthday this year add 1761 ..
> If you haven’t, add 1760..
6… Now subtract the four digit year that you were born.
You should have a three digit number
The first digit of this was your original number
(I.e., how many times you want to have chocolate each week).
The next two numbers are
YOUR AGE! (Oh YES, it is!!!!!)
THIS IS THE ONLY YEAR (2011) IT WILL EVER WORK, SO SPREAD IT AROUND WHILE IT LASTS.

Dr. Umar Saif, Associate Professor at the School of Science of Engineering, has been recognized by MIT Technology Review as one of the top 35 innovators (TR35) in the world. In the last decade, this is the first time a Pakistani has been selected for the prestigious TR35 award.
“The TR35 recognizes the world’s top 35 young innovators that are radically transforming technology as we know it. Their work – spanning medicine, computing, communications, energy, electronics and nanotechnology — is changing our world”, according to MIT Technology Review.
Dr. Umar Saif has been honoured for his work on technologies for the developing-world. Technologies developed by Dr. Saif’s research group and startups are used by millions of people in the developing-world. Notable among the many of these are: BitMate – that enhances the speed of Internet in the developing-world using peer-to-peer technology, and SMSall.pk – Pakistan’s largest SMS Social Network which has sent close to 4 billion SMS for users in Pakistan.
Dr. Umar Saif joins an elite group of researchers and entrepreneurs selected over the last decade. Previous winners include Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the co-founders of Google; Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook; Jonathan Ive, the chief designer at Apple; David Karp, founder of Tumbler; Harvard Professor Alán Aspuru-Guzik for his work on Quantum computers; and MIT Neuroscientist Ed Boyden, one of the inventors of the emerging field of optogenetics, which makes it possible to control neurons with light.
MIT Technology Review selects the top innovators after a rigorous evaluation process. Judges, who are leading experts in their fields from universities such as MIT, Stanford and Harvard, consider hundreds of high-impact researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world, out of which top 35 are chosen for the award.
“This year’s group of TR35 recipients is driving the next wave of transformative technology and making an impact on the way we live, work and interact”, said Jason Pontin, editor-in-chief and publisher of the MIT Technology Review.
Dr. Saif has won numerous awards for his innovative technology solutions for the developing-world. He was named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum in 2010. He is a recipient of the MIT Technovator Award (Grassroot Technologies); Mark Weiser Award for best paper award at PERCOM, the top rated conference in the field of pervasive computing; Digital Inclusion Award from Microsoft Research and the IDG CIO Technology Pioneer Award. Before moving to Pakistan, Saif worked at MIT and received a PhD from the University of Cambridge. He is a Fellow of the Cambridge Commonwealth Trust.
“We are immensely proud of this recognition for Dr. Saif and of how it reflects on the cutting edge work being done at our young School of Science and Engineering”, said Adil Najam, Vice Chancellor of LUMS. “Dr. Saif’s work demonstrates not only the potential for innovation in technology for development but also the level of enterprise and expertise that already exists within Pakistan and the larger developing world.”
