How to remove pimples?

Reading blog on how to remove pimples, I found some important notes.

Some say we need to soak cotton in salt water and place it on the pimple for 3 mins. Keep repeating these steps and the pimple will be gone forever. This is a quite simple guide to removing pimples.
Some also say that lemon juice is a natural lightener. Mix lemon juice and honey and make a paste and apply on the pimple mark. May be the next time you get lemon in mess hall or with a meal, you can make a good use of it.
Also, rubbing potato slices at an interval of 30 mins will also help in lightening the pimple marks.
Compared to plastic surgery which is a quick option, the natural ones are slow but are healthy and would not have any side effects.
Rosehip seed oil is also advisable for pimple marks and also to relieve wrinkles
Alternatively, you can apply vitamin E oil or take Vitamin E supplement

Singapore is a FINE city

Recently, a friend opened up on his life in South East Asia. He says he has been to Singapore, China and Tokyo in the past few months. He says of all the places he enjoyed his stay in Singapore. 
The country is 1/8 th of Srilanka which means that it is smaller than our smallest state of Goa. The state is unbelievably clean and they have building laws which requires every building in the country to be maintained and repainted in 5 years. He said that in the Airport, there is a sign board which says that Singapore is a FINE city. FINE is written in RED which means that the people are required to pay fines to make the city fine. Even Chewing guns are banned in the country. Smoking is also banned and there is a limit on the amount of garbage to be generated per capita. The local languages are english, chinese, malaya and Tamil. There are sign board even in Tamil.
He told about Tokyo construction that labour costs are pretty high in Japan that they opt for mechanised construction. This has to be the scenario in Kerala, India also. They should mechanise construction and also the house hold activities in order to cope up with the ever increasing labour charges. He mentioned on the demolition process in Japan where in a building is brought down using hydraulic jack. 

TED talks summary - 20's are critical

The talk was about how 20's are more important than the 30's. The expert tells that 20's is the right time to try partners and once you are in 30's, you will have immense pressure to settle down.
Also, your earnings are not critical as you do not have a family to support. So, do not go after money in the 20's, rather chase your dreams. How you would like to be remembered in the rest of your life is the decision you have to make in your 20's. People start working immediately after their 12th or Bachelors degree and start earning. They earn more relative to their peers in the 20's. But, what actually has to be done is to invest for the rest of your life in the 20's in the form of more studies, taking up more risks by competing in exams which can shape your career like the civil service etc.

TED talks summary - Body language defines who you are!

This is subsequent to me watching the TED talks wherein the lady told that body language defines who you are. She told that there are weak postures and strong postures in the animal kingdom. 
A strong posture is where you stretch your hand wide as in the expression when you win some thing. It goes on with the phrase, I am King. All postures where you occupy more area is called a strong posture. Keeping your leg on another leg. Stretch your hand over the next chair etc are examples of strong poses. 
The weak ones are the exact opposite. Your fold your hands, bow your face and tend to occupy less space. This happens when you are attending an interview where you are keeping your head low referring to your iPhone or to the notes you have prepared for the interview. Rather  you should be in toilet stretching your hand and feeling the happiness. She tells that when ever you take a dominant pose, your testosterone hormone level increases and she showed this with examples. She also advices to fake it till you make it. There are several things in the past where you have faked it and got it. Like having a strong eye contact. The ability to speak more.  Make a strong body posture and show that you dominate. Make it a part of your life.

"A wise man can learn more from his enemies than a fool from his friends"
this was the quote in the movie Rush (2013) of the formula 1 rivalry between Nickie Lauda and James Hunt.

Ways to avoid stammering!

A lot of people stammer. They want to come out of it. Here are some ways which can help.

1. Speak in front of mirror for 30 mins/day

2. Read aloud - it will make you know where to pause and where to take breath. Break sentences into small bits for easy communications. Only long sentences cause you to stammer

3. Find out the words that cause you to stammer and exercise them. Its also wise to pause before using that word and tell in your mind first before speaking it out. Treat silence as opportunities.

4. Learn to speak at a moderate pace, place your breathing in between words or sentences so that it goes unnoticed.

5. When you sing you dont stammer. Try to put a rhythm in your talks. A style of talking which makes you not stammer.
