Romancing

Filed under: My Life — koollog @ 8:39 am

Have you every fallen in love ?

Well I guess that’s a dumb question as most of us would have experience that feeling sometime in our lives.

For me, these emotions were in abundance while growing up..hehehe

These were like bolts of lightning, that died away pretty soon.

But then I found Rvinki and it just stuck like glue.

The one change that I acknowledge strongly is the fact that with her next to me I have become more confident. There were days before when I would be hesitant to take risks or even shy away at people opinions, but now I stand tall and accept challenges and criticism thrown at me.

Its been 3 years with her now and life just couldn’t get better. The reason we still hold strong is the fact that we have not let the romance die away. As well she seems to understand love better and is always coming up with surprises that I could not have thought up for myself (mind you, I am highly creative with ideas).May be its the Romance Novels that’s she is glued to.

Mills and Boon seems to be fueling our love lives and well I guess that’s the secret of our romantic side.

Add some spice to your romance with a Mills and Boon

Lateral Thinking: Edward De Bono

Filed under: My Life — koollog @ 12:00 pm

Yup, I am back to my reading habbits and have picked up a new book to add to my collection.

The last one that i finished was Harry Potter, but this one is a totally different genre.

This one is called “Lateral Thinking”: Edward De Bono (my kind of book)

Got this off the internet as i like to research my book before i spend time on them

Lateral thinking is a term coined by Edward de Bono, a Maltese psychologist, physician and writer. It first appeared in the title of his book The Use of Lateral Thinking, published in 1967. De Bono defines lateral thinking as methods of thinking concerned with changing concepts and perception. Lateral thinking is about reasoning that is not immediately obvious and about ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.

One of the first puzzles that i used to understand the concept was this: “Teaching to think out of the box”

One of the classic lateral thinking puzzles involves nine dots, as in the example above. The challenge is to connect them all in four straight lines, without lifting the pen or pencil from the page. When you figure this one out you will have a new appreciation for the expression “thinking outside of the box.” Lateral thinking puzzles like this help you increase your brain power by getting you out of thinking “ruts.” They habituate you to creative thought as a normal function of thinking and problem solving.

See if you can work this out.

Deadline to finish this book: 31st Oct 2007
