I remember reading a story once about a man who was exploring some caves by the seashore. In one of the caves he found a canvas bag with a bunch of hardened clay balls. It was like someone had rolled up some clay and left them out in the sun to bake. They didn't look like much, but they intrigued the man so he took the bag out of the cave with him.As he strolled along the beach, to pass the time, he would throw the clay balls one at a time out into the ocean as far as he could throw.He thought little about it until he dropped one of the balls and it cracked open on a rock. Inside was a beautiful, precious stone. Excited, the man started breaking open the remaining clay balls. Each contained a similar treasure. He found thousands of dollars worth of jewels in the 20 or so clay balls he had left, then it struck him.He had been on the beach a long time. He had thrown maybe 50 or 60 of the clay balls with their hidden treasure into the ocean waves. Instead of thousands of dollars in treasure, he could have had tens of thousands, but he just threw it all away.You know sometimes, it's like that with people. We look at someone, maybe even ourselves, and we see the external clay vessel. It doesn't look like much from the outside. It isn't always beautiful or sparkling, so we discount it; we see that person as less important than someone more beautiful or stylish or well known or wealthy.But we have not taken the time to find the treasure hidden inside that person.There is a treasure in each and every one of us. If we take the time to get to know that person, and if we ask God to show us that person the way He sees them, then the clay begins to peel away and the brilliant gem begins to shine forth.May we not come to the end of our lives and find out that we have thrown away a fortune in friendships because the gems were hidden in bits of clay. May we see the people in our world as God sees them.

how to write a thriller novel?

Today, as I was surfing the net came across an article about 'How to write a thriller novel?'. From the article I obtained many interesting and useful information about writting a thriller novel. Initially, before we write a thriller novel you should browse the shelves of your local bookstore to see what kind of thriller seems to be flying off the rack. Technological thriller novels may be hot, or the book season may be defined by political intrigue. Later, determine what is missing in the current market. Ask yourself what isn't being done right now that will likely appeal to a mass audience. Then, ask dedicated thriller novel readers what it is they like best about the genre. Remember that writing for your audience is key to being successful with any kind of popular fiction.
Now while you start writing your novel, pace your novel intelligently. Readers appreciate enough character development to make them care about the people in the story, but they still crave for adventure. You can also insert crisp dialogue to make the characters talk like real people. At the same time, only include conversations relevant to the advancement of your story. Another technique is to put your protagonist in dangerous situations and keep raising the stakes. A hero has to continually defy expectations to keep your readers turning the page.
Finally, when you are done with your writing, seek an agent specializing in thriller fiction. Thrillers are quite lucrative if placed with the proper publishing house. Think of ways to actively and creatively market your manuscript. Entering novel contests are an excellent way to attract an agent's attention. You must remain active in your book's promotion once it is published. Authors who believe in their work convince readers that it is worth reading.

right brain vs left brain

hi,at first i concluded that the dancer is turning anti-clockwise but after few MINUTES i realised that the dancer actually turning both clockwise and anti-clockwise.personally in my opinion as human being we need to use both our left and right brain,but it is just matter of the situation.for example we need to use our left brain when we solving maths question and need to use right brain more when we read story books such as harry potter or lord of ring,because we need to imagine the characters.for me,actually i cannot decide which side of brain i using more because i'm very practical and i would never use my feelings to decide or do something but i like draw,imagine and like to take risk.so who i am????hahaha,so as ceaser says (I DECIDE MY FUTURE....)i really enjoyed myself watching the dancer because it was interesting and CONFUSING.

Slumdog millionaire... a movie that won 8 oscar award!!!!

Slumdog millionare is a movie a orphan boy, Jamal Malik, who grows up in the slums of Mumbai. At eighteen he got the opportunity to take part in India’s ‘Who Wants to be a Millionaire?’ and win 20 million rupees. But when before he could answer the last question the police comes and arrest him in suspicion of cheating. Everyone was confused how could a boy with no education get so far in the game. So he tells the police his whole life story and how he knew the answers. The only part that confused them was that he was not interested in winning the money and was curious to why he took part.The actors who played junior Jamal and Salim were the real slum kids and were stars.The music director AR Rahman has done a great job.I was intersted in watching this movie when i knew from my friend that this movie was nominated for OSCAR award.The really enjoyed myself watching this movie and was so motivated because,this story teaches us when you do something with real interest and hard work,even a slum kid can become a millionaire!!!!!!
