We all have some sort of knowledge locked in our noggins.
Through life’s experiences such as past and present employment, the adversities we’ve all had evolve during our lifetimes, such as illnesses, divorces, issue’s with our children, financial and emotional turmoil.
To a certain point we all have something in common, the only difference is the way we have a climbed the mountains of challenge that has been placed in front of us over our lifetime at one point or another.
This is the kind of information that consumers hunger for, willing to devour because our experiences differ from each other.
They are the common denominators we share, it’s the way we handle them that makes the information different and unique.
And that’s the information that consumers are dying to get their hands on.
So when you say you can’t think of anything to write about, think again.
Sit at your kitchen table and think really hard, outline on a piece of paper all of the situations that you’ve encountered and have had to overcome, write this down on paper.
Everything and anything, this information is your key to success on writing an ebook that people will be interested in buying, because they wanna know. They seek the answers to their problems, you have the solutions staring you straight in the face. Profit from your experiences, there’s nothing immoral about it, people from all backgrounds do this.
Whether your a survivor of a divorce, a victim of corporate layoffs, or have experienced some sort of turmoil whether it be emotional or physical, other people around the world are just starting to experience what you have “already been through”.
Share your expertise and insight into how you’ve dealt with certain adversities and you’ll never run out of ideas for something to write about.
By doing this you’ll profit from your sharing by selling this valuable information in electronic format. You’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that you are helping people who are in the situation you were “once in”.
At some point in your life, you can give a different prospective on how to deal with this or that, ideas that your reader would have never thought about until you shared your experiences with them.
They might even be eternally grateful to you for your advice on whatever subject their having trouble dealing with, knowing that their not alone, knowing that their not the only one who has faced such adversities, and knowing that whatever the problem is…it can be overcome.
When you share with people how you’ve overcome certain problems in your life, be brutally honest.
You will find as you write, everything just flows out, your passion, your pain, but most importantly your triumphs.
Not only will you be helping the reader, you will be helping yourself.
You may even find writing to be therapeutic, you may even notice your outlook on life become even more upbeat and positive than it already was.
You may find your self emotionally exhausted but feeling somewhat invigorated at the same time, take it in and feel good about what you’ve given back.
As I am one of the most philosophy books addict and I would like to give some information about may favourite ones for any of you just in case looking for some guideline of buying a philosophy book. During almost 10 years of being addicted I have read hundreds of them but also there are quite number of them that I have never read. However, I still have heard some of good ones were cited hundreds of times.
Bateson in one of my favourite writer, his books had taken me from the real world and feel that I could not leave his books from my hand until I finish reading it. Both of his titles called Steps to an Ecology of Mind and Mind and Nature are my favourite books. Even though my friends told me that the first one is very good to read but I eventually come up with the second one, Mind and Nature and this title became my favourite just right away. Even though the physical shape, which was paperback edition made me a bit discouraging to read a first glance but when I started to open it and read so I found that it is no doubt why Bantam has defined this book as a new age book and was very well known as an interconnectedness of all things, then I have very clear idea about which definition that came from. Detail inside the book was the introduction of the basic principle of how we can understand both nature and social science deeply and learn about how they interconnect to each other.
The writer start the story by introducing very fundamental scientific terms that even young school boys should familiar with, which I love this starting point very much because this will make all level of readers feel comfortable and understand what the book trying to communicate and want to do further read. Then the later chapters followed by the epistemological foundations on the importance of combining different perspectives and some other different types of relationship between nature and scientific stuff. The major idea in the who book that I can make a summary for you here is the writer writing about three important element, which are: 1) explaining the reason and criteria of mind existence 2) study parallels between learning and evolution in random basis and 3) constructing a general purpose epistemological schematic.
Even though I am not totally agree with all the detail in the book which, sometime quite conflict to my basic of understanding but the writer used writing explanation which was really tackles subjects which have been largely ignored by traditional analytic philosophy, which considered is crucial importance to learn and understanding the fundamental of science.
As I have to say that even though there some difficult and complexities in the book, that is if you have very low background so you may be get lost and don’t know what the writer trying to communicate then you might get entirely the wrong idea, but I still insist that this book is worth reading so don’t limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about philosophy. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what’s important.

You’ve probably handed in your essay and then noticed some errors or mistakes in it no doubt? Maybe spelling, grammar and punctuation were all a little tricky when you were writing the paper and when you looked over it you simply didn’t spot the mistakes that you have done now? Well, proofreading your work before handing in an essay report, dissertation or thesis is a must, as the academic arena is realizing that quality work means quality students – so to students must realise that quality universities are made from quality students submitting great essays and papers.
1. Leave time before you proofread
You will want to leave at least 24 hours between when you finished writing your draft of an essay until you pick it up again and read it over with a clear mind. Otherwise your mind will be full of what you have just written and won’t read exactly what you have written, but will read what you have thought you have written.
2. Eliminate all distractions
Turn off all TV’s and other distractions, you don’t want CSI getting in the way of your paper – even if it is a crucial episode this week! Don’t have music on wither as this will only confuse you and cause you to become distracted form what you are actually reading.
3. Double space your paper
It’s easier to double space your paper before you either proof it on-screen or print it off to proofread the work in front of you. You don’t want to get jumbled up on what line you are reading, or correcting a mistake because you read one part of sentence A and the second part of sentence B – clear and doubt or confusion on what you are reading.
4. Read out loud
When you read your work, read the sentences out loud. This way you will notice if there are any points that really don’t make sense or parts that are really confusing. I know it sounds a little strange, but give it a go as I’m sure you will notice a difference when you do this.
5. Use a ruler or bookmark
So that you know where you are up to and so that you can eliminate confusion on which sentence you are using, having a ruler indicating where you should read next is important. It will help you increase your concentration and work through your document a lot quicker.
6. Check your sources properly
You will need to make sure that all of your sources are there for any work you have referenced or referred to. Not having all of the authors in your bibliography, or missing the date from one source can cause your marker to become annoyed in your lack of professional approach to your paper. <Make sure you check all of your references as these may become crucial if you have a lot missing or confusion in your paper – your professor may indeed mark you down for this.
7. Get a professional to take a look
You don’t have the time and sometimes you just really don’t think anything needs changing when you proofread – after all you really won’t spot all of your mistakes as you have, as your brain causes confusion in what you have just written to what you are reading in front of you. Having a professional proofreader or editor take a look at your paper will ensure there are no mistakes when you are submitting your essay.

So many abacus programs are running in our society with different brand names, each one claiming to be the best. However none of the program could integrate the advantages of Vedic techniques in abacus education. When we tried to look for the answer, the only reason we could find was all abacus programs have prepared in south East Asian countries, which are heavily influenced by oriental methodology.
Smart League Education has taken the initiative to indigenise the abacus education and added certain unique vedic techniques in the program, the result is that smart league abacus programs have become very popular among students and parents.
“Ours is the only Indian program of international standard which will soon be conducted in other countries. Many schools have adapted this program as part of their curriculum, whereas two periods are given for ‘mental maths’, the teacher to student ratio is maintained at not more then 1:15, strict quality control is being exercised to ensure that maximum students get the benefit of the program.” Said the founding member Col Banbir Singh.
“We want sincere educationist to be part of ‘Smart League’ family, already eight schools in Bangalore have subscribed to the program as ‘Mental Maths’ and the same is being taught during the regular school hours, more than 5000 students are getting benefited with mental maths programs.” Said Ms Reeta Lamba, Regional representative Smart League, Calcutta, India.
“When the program is conducted in Smart League Education Centres (SLEC), the maximum strength in a batch is never allowed to exceed 15. In SLEC the main advantage is that one session is of two hours every week and as and when the requirement is felt an extra coaching is arranged on a pre-designated week day after school hours for doubt clearing session which are quite important. However the program is little expensive compared to schools when run in private centres. We have made the same programs available to the schools, who show keen interest in additional value education to give that extra edge to their students. The unique feature of our program is that schools have an option to see the effectiveness of the program by subscribing to our ‘Pilot Project’ where we introduce the concepts to single class, the minimum number students for pilot project is 150 students. The ‘Pilot Project’ is a low budget ‘Show Window’ for the schools to see the effectiveness of the program. At the end of ‘Pilot Project’ schools have an option to adopt the program for the entire applicable age group. When program is adopted for the entire school the cost benefit is given to the parents and program is made available at fractional cost, while maintaining the quality of the program.” Briefed Ms Anita Singh the regional Smart League representative at Rajasthan, Jaipur.
“The unique feature of the ‘Smart League Education’ is the availability of programs for different age groups i.e. Smart Maths program for 4-6 years age group where we introduce the number concepts and addition subtraction concepts to young ones, it is an international quality program, our basic program has two variations i.e. for 7-8 years and 9-13 years age group. It is done so that none of our student is stressed due to the intensity of the program (which happens on most of other programs). Each program is designed in such a way that the students ‘enjoy’ the program while learning the intricacies of ‘Mental Maths’ and ‘Success Skills’, our next program is called ‘Power Maths’ designed for 13 years and above with no upper age limit. The program is a unique combination of ‘Chisen Bop’ and ‘Vedic’ techniques where the best of the techniques have been integrated to give maximum benefit to the students. This program is particularly popular with students who are preparing for competitive exams i.e. management related or other competitive exams where number skill are tested against time, and have to attempt number crunching problems in a short time.
To the best of our knowledge such a variety of programs is not available with any other mental maths education company/academy.” Said Dr Ajay K R a renowned medical practitioner and the founding member of Smart League Education.
