Usage of 'Ifs' and ' buts' in life

By

In our lives, we have given many excuses and reasons for various things. Everyday we hear that someone want  to do something but can't. People always try to block themselves on different occasions by using 'ifs'and 'buts' often used in negative sentences.   

The terms 'if' and 'but' are used to explain the reason by the people for not able/wanting to do something. By doing this, they are trying to put condition on a much deserved good actions by doubting that would even happen. These two words can even be a barrier in the path of success.People with that attitude in their lives  remain mostly unsuccessful since they donot welcome anything in life without these two words.          

'If ' stand to show that you don't believe something is possible. It is used in conditional sentences in which an event or situation might be happening or have happened. If pulls us backward into unalterable past and forward into unpredictable future.  

'But' is used to indicate contrast or oposition between elements in a sentence. It is used to connect ideas that contrasts. Use of but negates whatever precedes and can create a sense of defensiveness. 

If and but stop one from tapping the miraculous powers in an individual. We can change from IF to When. Also we can change But to Then again. In order to achieve success, one should positively look for opportunities, must remove the possibilty of IFS and BUTS. 

The phrase 'if' and 'bit'- if one has got to hear as excuses, one would have enough to enjoy a better position in life/

Qualities Of A Good Prime Minister

By
Following are ten qualities (not in order of importance), which I believe are the most important for a Prime Minister and why ? - 1) Ability to connect with constituents - All great leaders in history had a penchant for being able to connect with their citizens i.e. a strong or habitual liking for something or tendency to do something. Leaders who have failed have probably failed in this domain. 2) Clarity of vision - The Prime Minister who knows their vision and can successfully articulate it to the voting public is one who will be held in high regard. 3) Coherent grasp of domestic issues - There has to be a keen desire and understanding of domestic concerns that directly impact the citizens. Failure to understand and address these issues will create a gap between what the Leader does and how it impacts their citizens. 4) Clear understanding of different cultures in their Governance - All good leaders will be able to understand the Political culture, Ethical/ Racial cultures, Cl

Working Of Nuclear Plant and Generation Of Energy

By
Nuclear energy originates from splitting of Uranium atoms- a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by Turbine generator to generate electricity, because Nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions. It is the safe, clean, cost effective alternative contrary to claims by opponents of nuclear energy. Nuclear power reactors use controlled nuclear fission in a chain reaction. With the use of neutron absorbers, the rate of reaction controlled, so the power depends on demand. By reliably providing power 24 hours a day, Nuclear energy is an important part of the energy mix necessary to meet electricity demand. And, with no carbon emissions, it will remain an important clean energy resource for the future. For more than forty years, Duke Energy, USA has operated nuclear plants- setting industry benchmarks for safety and efficiency in the process. Working of a Nuclear Plant - A Nuclear power plant works much like a

Satellite Prediction Of Floods In India

By
Floods are one of the most devastating and costly national disasters each year affecting on an average 96.9 million people worldwide and causing $13.7 Billion in damages according to U.N. Office for Disaster Risk Reduction. They wash away or destroy Homes, Pollute Drinking Water and a source to giving birth to water borne diseases. The Indian sub-continent is one of the most affected due to chronic flood events mostly induced by periodic monsoon rainfall. The North - Eastern state of Assam has a complex fluvial systems of rivers, mainly with two inter connected rivers of Brahmaputra and Barak which together enter Bay of Bengal. Due to enormous sediment transport from the upper catchment areas and subsequent lack of carrying capacity of the channels in these two river valleys, flooding is a periodic phenomenon every year during the peak monsoon months from June to Sept. causing extensive damages to life and property. Satellite plays important role in detection and monitoring of flo

Devaluation and causes for Foreign Exchange rates variation

By
  Indian Rupee and Devaluation  Indian Rupee was settled at Rs.13/- per pound and dollar @ Re.1/-  in 1947 after partition. It continued up to 1966 when first devaluation took place.
