This week, I am sharing the writings of other websites. Today’s post comes from www.bizmove.com. Life is full of those moments when it feels like the tasks or moments ahead of are going to be impossible to achieve. No achievement comes in one glorious moment of triumph. All...
Despite being one of the most brilliant business minds (and wealthiest people in the world), Sir Richard Branson is just a downright cool guy. He was easy going, interested in others and very open to conversation… even with everyday people like me!

47:366 - Freedom
“Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.”
-- Voltaire
“There is no such thing as a little freedom. Either you are all free, or you are not free.”
--Walter Cronkite
"I can't lose weight because I am too fat."
"I can't exercise because I am too lazy."
"I can't go to college because I am not smart enough."
"I can't ask for a promotion because I can't stand up for myself."
"I can't change because I have no will-power."
"I can't. I just can't."
We often put limits on ourselves that don't really exist. We think negatively about ourselves and use it as an excuse to not change. By treating ourselves this way, we are trapping ourselves in failure. We are then turning ourselves into what we claimed to be. We cannot have the life we want or become who we were meant to be by imprisoning ourselves in negative feelings and self abuse.
We all have the power within us to be better. We deserve to be free.
In order to be free, we need to think positively. We need to stop punishing ourselves for bad choices. Stop thinking you cannot lose weight because you overate. Stop punishing yourself for not taking chances. Stop criticizing yourself for what you did wrong yesterday. We all make mistakes. Tomorrow, we must forgive ourselves and move forward. The simple act of taking a step of faith and moving towards what we want can often change us into something we don't even recognize! We can actually find ourselves being successful at what we always assumed we would fail at.
We must stop having low expectations of what we can do. We must stop preventing ourselves from success. We must stop limiting ourselves based on lies.
We deserve to be happy. We deserve to be free. But freedom comes from within. It comes from learning that we all fail, but we must not quit.
Let's throw away the chains and fly towards the sun. We all deserve many happy endings. We all deserve the chance to chase our dreams.
“You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.” --Chuck Palahniuk
Yoga - it's the latest addition to my life. I played with this photo I found on the web using GIMP. While I find that a lot of the asanas I practice do open the heart center, I'm much more aware of those that open the root chakra. Nevertheless, this represents my aspiration. Balanced body and mind living compassion with ferocity.

Power Within was designed by Shamol Ali, who is studying for an OCR Level 2 Technical Diploma in Art and Design at Walsall College. Shamol is deaf and relies on British Sign Language to communicate. He explored how hand muscles work when signing, and then used his owlet to represent muscular movement when an owl flies. His inspiration came from Leonardo da Vinci, Damian Hurst, Gunther von Hagens, and Greek sculpture.
This owl is in the Gracechurch Centre

5.9.14 Right Wing Offensive -How Should the Left Respond and; Resist? The neoliberal policy offensive, accompanied by .severe state repression, has intensified in recent years. This.
offensive has been backed up by neoliberal intellectuals, who have peddled the logic that 'there is no alternative,'and thatthe neoliberal economic policies are the only road to 'development.' The Left movement has the challenge of putting up an effective resistance, both in terms of movements, and in terms ofbuilding up a popular ideological challenge to these policies. .
Unfortunately, some parties on the Left, such as the CPI and CPIM, have actually given credibility to the neoliberallogic by.
embracing and echoing it. .
"Reform or Perish" .
The neoliberal ideologues are always saying that the leftmust either "reform" itselfand relirJ,quish Le_ft principles, or "perish.".
Unfortunatelyeven senior leaders ofthe CPIM have said the same. Former WB CM Buddhadeb Bhattacharya has often said.
thatthe Left must nreform or perish" and has declared his opposition to workers' strikes and hartals. .
.
The Wikileaks cables reveal that on 20 June 2008, Buddhadeb told the US Consul General, Kolkata, that while being.
opposed to bandhs called by his party, he "could not publicly criticize his party's bandh-culture and had to maintainsilence when the media questioned him." .
On 27 October 2009, Buddhadeb reiterated to the US Consul General, Kolkata that communist ideology must '1eitherchange or perish." He also ''lamented the fact that long-term politicians and outdated ideology continue tooverwhelmingly dominate the left in India," in contrast to the "technocrats and other experts that now have powerwithin China's communist party." .
Buddhadeb welcomed US investment in West Bengal. The cable notes that Buddhadeb "supports U.S. educationalinstitutions establishing independent branches in India without local partners.11 This contradicts the CPI(M)'s stated.
stand against the entry of foreign universities in India. .
When SFI and AISF pay lip service to opposing privatization of education, foreign Universities and supporting workers' strikes.
and movements, Chief Ministerand Governments oftheir parent parties implement privatization, welcome private universities,and decry workers' strikes! In JNU too, the SFI's track record tells the same shameful story. .
In 2004 inJNU, an SFl-Ied JNUSU welcomed Nestle for a corporate takeover of the dhaba spaces. In the historic LJGBMorganized by the AISA-Ied JNUSU on scrapping ofthe Nestle outlet during January 2005, 544 studentsvoted against theNestle outlet, while SFI with 114 cadres stood in shameful defence of Nestle!.
l .
In 2006-07, the SFI 'dissociated' from the students' agitation on workers' rights in JNU, and demanded a ProctorialEnquiry against students who had participated in the agitation !! Commercialising Education .
The contrast between left principles and the CPIM's practice on privatization ofeducation has been clear in the pro-privatizationmoves of Governments led by them. In JNU, too, the SFI-DSF-AISF etc have remained aloof from strugglesto defend highereducation from pro-market meddling. .
Ask the 'Left Progressive' panel why the DSF-Ied JNUSU did nottake any initiative to oppose and resistthe FVUP, as theAISA has successfully done? .
Why did the DSF-Ied JNUSU fail to fight against the delinking of the BA-MA programme in Sll&CS? Why were thementorsofSFI-DSF in the faculty the most vocal supporters of delinking? Wasn't delinking a move to turn SL into a languageteaching shop tuned to the market, eroding and downgrading the BA-M A programme in the process? Why did the onlyDSF Councillor in the outgoing JNUSU gave call for a Public Meeting in 555 on the same day-same time of aJNUSU protestdemo against dekinking in front of SL Board of Studies meeting (8 Oct, 2013)? .
The SFI, AISF, DSF, never welcomed or participated in the AISA-led JNUSU's efforts last year to oppose the corporate-controlled model of the JNU Press and to ensure the victory for an autonomous, Open Access JNU Press.Corporate Land Grab and SEZs " . .
Governments grab land belongingto peasants and adivasis, and enact laws like the SEZ Act in orderto give corporatioAs land.
at throwaway prices. Today, the Modi Govt is aiming to roll back key provisions of the new Land Acquisition Act in order to.
facilitate land grab. SEZs are enclaves in which the laws of land-including labour laws and laws relating to people's self-representation-do not apply. .
Can there be any doubt that the left movement must stand in solidarity and unstinting support with the resistance ofpeasants and adivasis to corporate land grab and state repression? .
Yet, the fact is that CPI and CPIM betrayed this leftprinciple. . .
CPI and CPIM voted for the SEZ Act 2005 inside Parliament, and enacted a similar law inside West Bengal in 2003 itself! .
The CPIM-CPI-Ied Govt ofWest Bengal grabbed land from peasants in Singur and Nandigram and killed protestingpeasants in police firing and other attacks. In JNU, too, SFI defended the land grab and policefiring with great P.T.O. .
