The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, first published in 1989, is a self-help book written by Stephen R. Covey. It has sold over 15 million copies in 38 languages since first publication, which was marked by the release of a 15th anniversary edition in 2004. The book lists seven principles that, if established as habits, are supposed to help a person achieve true interdependent effectiveness. Covey argues this is achieved by aligning oneself to what he calls "true north" principles of a character ethic that he believes to be universal and timeless.

Little knowledge is dangerous. This shows how important to read the manuals.
Precaution: Don't follow this one, parental guidance is advised.
For “Knowledge is Golden” the inspiration was specific to the area which the mural was done. San Francisco is seeing its second gold rush with information and knowledge being the currency of today. SOMA, being slated to be developed as the new downtown of San Francisco with technology leading the transformation, is why we chose this location for our message.
Gold miners have been replaced by tech innovators. Pickaxes and shovels have been replaced with laptops and desktops. Though the times have changed, the human thirst for chasing opportunity remains prevalent in these times. And with this influx of new people, San Francisco culture as we know it will never be the same.

HIDDEN KNOWLEDGE, Revealing the Hidden Nature of Human Being as a bridge in the Awakening of the Consciousness of the Universe is a knowledge that was hidden from the human race all through history.This blog is dedicated to the awakening of self-knowledge of the universe manifested in us that will reveal our hidden powers that can help the man to discover his true identity and to save THE EARTH and our civilization from self-annihilation. In acest site sunt evidentiate traditiile prin care omul redevine puntea prin care universul redevine constient de el insusi si isi descopera adevarata sa identitate de fiinta spirituala manifestata in corp material;acest proces de trezire a universului conduce la manifestarea puterilor divine ale omului care poate sa restabileasca armonia si sa repare matricea energetica si informationala a Terrei si a universului.The greatest of all religious teaching is inside you,in your Heart;You can discover your treasure using love and awareness to awake yourself.This process of awakening to our true identity is taking place in a state beyond duality known as mystic trance or samadhi(trance,that state of mind which remains with its object without distractions; superconscious state, ecstasy, meditative or concentrative absorption, union).The term trance is defined as an altered state of consciousness which individuals can enter through a variety of techniques, including hypnotism, drugs (aushadhi, potions, herbs, consecrated plants;see the Nahuatl– Maya’s traditions revealed by Carlos Castaneda or The Shamanic Traditions revealed by Dr. Andrija Puharich in “The Sacred Mushroom (pub. 1959),sound (particularly music ,percussive drumming-remember Mantras,(recitation of incantations,words of power, chanting,sacred chants, prayer, auto and hetero suggestions;see the King Arthur's instruction"in chant,spells and incantations" received from the druid Merlin etc.), sensory deprivation, physical hardships (eg. flagellation, starvation, exhaustion, tapas:intense desire, ascetic disciplines,purificatory acts ,austerities) and vigorous continuous rhythmic exercise (particularly dance).People can also use trance, particularly in the context of ‘ritual’ events, to learn new strategies of thinking or of relating to one another.There are different types of learning: for example what Eric Jantsch calls ‘conscious learning’ is a transaction between consciousness, the environment and memory. Jantsch also identifies ‘superconscious learning’, which takes place with the addition of ‘outer’ and ‘inner’ ways of learning. These arise through the interaction of consciousness with transpersonal mass/collective consciousness (eg. Jung’s "collective unconscious")There are other techniques which can be used for such ‘tuning in’, for example magical or shamanic practices such as visualisations, breathing techniques and ritual. Particular technologies can also be used to enhance such learning capacities, for example the ASCID (Altered States of Consciousness Induction Device) developed by Robert Masters and Jean Houston (1973). The modern electronic music dance party is one such ‘pscycho- technology’ because it is an information system, consisting of visual, auditory and sensual elements.Princeton

( Featured on front cover of Jain Digest )
There are several pathways to attaining Nirvana. It is the union of Right Knowledge, Right Faith and Right Conduct that eventually leads to Nirvana.
The central multicolored figure represents a neuron; it is the memory bank as well as the source of transmission of full spectrum of knowledge. There are several categories of knowledge. Every human being has intrinsic faculty to harvest them. Each of the knowledge is assigned a specific color. Green-derived from scriptures, blue-subjective cognition, red- super sensory perception, orange- reading the thoughts of others and light yellow-omniscience. Black indicates ignorance or lack of knowledge, which pervades the human kind resulting in the cycles of birth and death.
The light background reflects the aura that surrounds the person having righteous knowledge. One must appropriately apply it to start the process of attaining Nirvana.

Inside an Indigo Books store, the word "knowledge" is painted on the wall in large block letters above the massive magazine stand. The room was very quiet despite being full of shoppers. The only sound that made everyone look in my direction was the distinctive shutter click of my camera.
Model: Cazz Walker.
Setup:
We went to the University of Kent's library and ended up shooting in the critical theory section. Istood on one of the things to step on when you need to reach the higher books. I gave Cazz a 580EX and he put it in his shirt with the head looking out, with the wide angle shield out and the catchlight thingy out as well, in oder to make sure that the light would spread nicely over the entire book and that some of the light would be bounced back down onto the book by the flap. Result: the light bounces off the book onto Cazz' face and breast, from where it bounces onto his hands and a little bit on the back of the book.
I had a friend's SB-800 to the left just in front of Cazz (hidden by the book that sticks out on the left), but it didn't fire for this shot. I used the eBay triggers from Gadget Infinity for the first time here, still with the shipped batteries, and they're not 100% reliable. Which happened to be good here, as it allowed for more ambient light to remain around the edges while I twist-zoomed during the exposure. I should have seen the potential of this during the shooting and opened the aperture a bit, but this one turned out ok so I guess it's alright.

Thanks to strobist.com this is the first time I've seriously worked with off-camera flash. I like the new possibilities.

In the scene you can find the Minoru Horse statue on the right and the Vancouver Biennale artwork in the centre which is “Doors of Knowledge” by Patrick Hughes.

Our Daily Challenge ... knowledge.
Books were the record of much knowledge for centuries but the Internet has had a huge impact on where we store information and how we find it. No individual could possibly know and remember everything that they will ever need to know in their lifetime but if they know how to find what they need to know using books, Internet, other people, experimentation etc. it will not be a problem.
Saraswati is a Goddess that was worshipped in the Vedic religion. She is the goddess of knowledge and all literary arts including music, arts, and speech. She is also worshipped as the Goddess of thoughts of truth and forgiving. She is mentioned in the Rig Veda as well as in Puranic texts. It was likely that She originated as a river Goddess because Her name in Sanskrit means "she who has lakes or pools". (Taken from: www.thaiexotictreasures.com/saraswati.html)
The text reads:
"To live is to choose"
"sin" vs. "knowledge"

"Has it ever occurred to you, Euthydemus, ... that though pleasure is the one and only goal to which incontinence is thought to lead men, she herself cannot bring them to it, whereas nothing produces pleasure so surely as self-control?”
“How so?”
"Incontinence will not let them endure hunger or thirst or desire or lack of sleep, which are the sole causes of pleasure in eating and drinking and sexual indulgence, and in resting and sleeping, after a time of waiting and resistance until the moment comes when these will give the greatest possible satisfaction; and thus she prevents them from experiencing any pleasure worthy to be mentioned in the most elementary and recurrent forms of enjoyment. But self-control alone causes them to endure the sufferings I have named, and therefore she alone causes them to experience any pleasure worth mentioning in such enjoyments."
– Xenophon, Socrates and Euthydemus in "Memorabilia", 4.5
