The value of a dollar is social, as it is created by society.

I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.

~ Jimmy Carter
I believe in the dollar. Everything I earn, I spend!

I have tried to teach people there are three kicks in every dollar: one, when you make it; two, when you have it. The third kick it when you give it away - and it is the biggest kick of all.

659_Nuclear Bomb
Today's topic is Nuclear Bomb.
Today is International Day against Nuclear Testing. More HERE and HERE.
For 50 years, nuclear power stations have produced three products which only a lunatic could want: bomb-explosive plutonium, lethal radioactive waste and electricity so dear it has to be heavily subsidised. They leave to future generations the task, and most of the cost, of making safe sites that have been polluted half-way to eternity.
~ James Buchan
I think we should stop using nuclear power plants because it's an old system that we can't control.
~ Hayao Miyazaki
We have every interest in seeing that the military use of nuclear power will be contained.
~ Joschka Fischer
The idea that the growing demand for energy worldwide can be met with energy from nuclear power is nonsense.
~ Sigmar Gabriel
What I am going to write is the last of what I have to say. I will say that literature is the only consciousness we possess and that its role as consciousness must inform us of our ability to comprehend the hideous danger of nuclear power.
~ John Cheever
It's ridiculous that time and time again we need a radioactive cloud coming out of a nuclear power-station to remind us that atomic energy is extraordinarily dangerous.
~ Pierre Schaeffer
All UK nuclear power stations should be shut down without delay.
~ James Buchan

He alone sees truly who sees the Lord the same in every creature...seeing the same Lord everywhere, he does not harm himself or others.

You have a right to perform your prescribed duty, but you are not entitled to the fruits of action. Never consider yourself the cause of the results of your activities, and never be attached to not doing your duty.~ Krishna
Abandon all attachment to the results of action and attain supreme peace.~ Krishna
Those who eat too much or eat too little, who sleep too much or sleep too little, will not succeed in meditation. But those who are temperate in eating and sleeping, work and recreation, will come to the end of sorrow through meditation.~ Krishna
When meditation is mastered, the mind is unwavering, like the flame of a lamp in a windless place.~ Krishna

657_Mother Teresa
Today's topic is Mother Teresa.
26th August was the birthday of Mother Teresa of Calcutta.
I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.
~ Mother Teresa
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
~ Mother Teresa
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
~ Mother Teresa
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
~ Mother Teresa
If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.
~ Mother Teresa
Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.
~ Mother Teresa
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
~ Mother Teresa
Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
~ Mother Teresa
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
~ Mother Teresa
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
Mother Teresa
We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.
~ Mother Teresa
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
~ Mother Teresa
Peace begins with a smile.
~ Mother Teresa

Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.
~ Harriet Tubman
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.
~ T. E. Lawrence
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with success unexpected in common hours.

Sisters is probably the most competitive relationship within the family, but once the sisters are grown, it becomes the strongest relationship.
~ Margaret Mead
I know some sisters who only see each other on Mother's Day and some who will never speak again. But most are like my sister and me... linked by volatile love, best friends who make other best friends ever so slightly less best.
~ Patricia Volk
Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers.
~ Pam Brown
It was nice growing up with someone like you - someone to lean on, someone to count on... someone to tell on!
~ Author Unknown

Whatever you do they will love you; even if they don't love you they are connected to you till you die. You can be boring and tedious with sisters, whereas you have to put on a good face with friends.
~ Deborah Moggach
You keep your past by having sisters. As you get older, they're the only ones who don't get bored if you talk about your memories.
~ Deborah Moggach
She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.
~ Barbara Alpert
She takes my hand and leads me along paths I would not have dared explore alone.
~ Maya V. Patel

Busy Bee or Humming Bird?
Infromation source :internet
They’re pretty industrious but not as busy as some other animals. A honeybee might work anywhere from just a few hours a day to about 12, depending on its role in the beehive. For example, worker bees tasked with the daily foraging of nectar or pollen generally spend nearly every hour of daylight outside—but as soon as it gets dark they get to head back to the nest and relax. (Honeybees don’t sleep the same way that humans do—they don’t have eyelids, for one—but they do stop moving, relax their muscles, and let their antennae gradually slump.) Worker bees whose duties lie within the nest don’t have it easy, either—they stay a little busy around the clock, tending to the honeycombs, fanning their wings to keep the nest cool, but they do take frequent breaks. Queens are also busy, if relatively immobile, laying more than 1,000 eggs each day. Drones, by contrast, are quite lazy. They don’t leave the hive until early afternoon, at which time they carouse around in packs, and when they get home just a few hours later, they rely on the worker bees to feed them.
To determine which animals are really the hardest working, consider the ones with the highest metabolic demands. Some of these animals, such as shrews and hummingbirds, must busy themselves enough to eat nearly their whole weight in food every day.
