What can you sell at any condition?

There are only 3 things in this world that retain their full value even in their most damaged condition and they are gold, silver and the platinum.

The uniqueness about these three precious metals is their liquidity factor. In case of emergency cash need, you can barge into any jewelry shop, quickly sell your possession and come out with cash.

When I got married, buying silver coins was not in vogue. My father gave me a bag full of silverwares that I never used in my daily life till I sold them off to buy a refrigerator.

I felt sad about having lost my silver treasure. I decided to replenish and I started buying silver ingots from Monex Deposit Company (MDC) three years ago and availed their facility for safe storage at an independent bank.

Monex prides itself on having the best U.S. silver coin prices and programs in the silver coin industry.

I am now prepared to give a bag of silver coins to my, would be daughter-in-law.

Can we lose weight at home?

“I beg to differ from you Sheila; Gym is not the only solution to lose weight. It might even prove to be a weight gainer” I argued with my childhood friend, who is 2 years older than me but actually look much older.

Her face still retains her old charms but her body fails to enhance her beauty. She started going to the all women gym two months ago. She has this bad habit of not taking weight loss supplements and diet pills like Atrophex.

She doesn’t believe in losing weight at home and hence resorted to vigorous work out at the gym.

I appealed to her senses after throwing her a few crumbs by agreeing that aerobics does help to achieve her weight reduction goal but it takes time to get to that. Weight loss pills help quicken the pace of getting back to shape and gym work outs will help tone up the muscles.

Sheila seemed to be lost in conflicting thoughts but murmured her thanks when she left for the local pharmacy.

A test for all of us.

What will be your decision ?

Insight into Decision Making :





A group of children were playing near two railway tracks, one still in use while the other disused. Only one child played on the disused track, the rest on the operational track.

The train is coming, and you are just beside the track interchange. You can make the train change its course to the disused track and save most of the kids. However, that would also mean the lone child playing by the disused track would be sacrificed. Or would you rather let the train go its way?

Let's take a pause to think what kind of decision we could make........ ........

Most people might choose to divert the course of the train, and sacrifice only one child. You might think the same way, I guess. Exactly, to save most of the children at the expense of only one child was rational decision most people would make, morally and emotionally. But, have you ever thought that the child choosing to play on the disused track had in fact made the right decision to play at a safe place?

Nevertheless, he had to be sacrificed because of his ignorant friends who chose to play where the danger was. This kind of dilemma happens around us everyday. In the office, community, in politics and especially in a democratic society, the minority is often sacrificed for the interest of the majority, no matter how foolish or ignorant the majority are, and how farsighted and knowledgeable the minority are. The child who chose not to play with the rest on the operational track was sidelined. And in the case he was sacrificed, no one would shed a tear for him.

The great critic Leo Velski Julian who told the story said he would not try to change the course of the train because he believed that the kids playing on the operational track should have known very well that track was still in use, and that they should have run away if they heard the train's sirens.. If the train was diverted, that lone child would definitely die because he never thought the train could come over to that track! Moreover, that track was not in use probably because it was not safe. If the train was diverted to the track, we could put the lives of all passengers on board at stake! And in your attempt to save a few kids by sacrificing one child, you might end up sacrificing hundreds of people to save these few kids.

While we are all aware that life is full of tough decisions that need to be made, we may not realize that hasty decisions may not always be the right one.

'Remember that what's right isn't always popular... and what's popular isn't always right.'

The best gifts for thin men.

Women who boast they knew men like the back of their hands are the ones who find it difficult to chose gifts for their men. Their assumption of their understanding men is based on uncertain grounds.

Oh, well, forget it! I am not here to discuss the reasons for the failure of men and women relationship but to give you some tips to strengthen the pure bond of love between men and women.

Gifting men with handkerchiefs is probably the worst gifting idea. Buying rings for men is another poor concept.

I will tell you a secret. Like women, men too carry a lot of vanity; only they don’t like to admit it openly. Men like to be considered as stylish even though you will hardly find an iota of style in him.

Try romantic colored suits for men who are thin and unmanly. You may win his mother.

Slightly dark colored men like to be presented with the latest designer shirts and blazers. They will become very possessive of you.

Men from colder places of northern Europe prefer heavy watches. Yes, this seems odd and I am yet to verify the truth behind this crazy claim. However, you can dare to try and give me your feedback.

Any more useful tips of gifts for men? I could surely use it to educate the next generation of girls. (Smile)

Samsung NC 10 laptop-the choice of software engineers.

“Yeah, it was difficult to choose”-the reply was the same from 6 persons when I asked them if it was difficult to choose the laptop they recently bought. And surprisingly, five of the six persons are my students, who are all street smart these days when it comes to buying computers and mobile phones.

I guess they all don’t know what they really look for when buying a laptop computer. Everyone wants all the latest features of laptop-whether they really need it or not. It is a question of prestige.

I believe my son is smarter. He picked up the Samsung NC 10 notebook computer just because it has everything a software engineer needs no. They don’t have time to waste on computer games anymore.

Samsung Laptop NC 10 promises the longest battery back up time of up to 10 hours.

Another notable feature of Samsung Notebook NC 10 is the keyboard that is said to be spacious and well positioned by laptopmag.com, a famous review site of gadgets. The reviews of this web site are taken seriously by techno savvy people, who know what they are buying.

For persons on the move, music is an indispensable companion. Samsung NC 10 laptop computer comes fitted with SRS sound with 2.1 channel speakers.

For the first time, I am seeing a white color notebook PC. The screen size of 10.2 inches is a bit of disappointment to me but not for my son who says software engineers prefer smaller screens.

To me, this Samsung NC 10 laptop is strictly for professionals and not for kids. I have taken a rather heavy laptop (2.8 pounds) into consideration. (Smile)
