What Dalai Lama says about LIFE


1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. 2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. 3. Follow the three R's: Respect for self, Respect for others, and Responsibility for all your actions. 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. 5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly. 6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship. 7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it. 8. Spend some time alone every day. 9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you'll be able to enjoy it a second time. 12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life. 13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don't bring up the past. 14. Share your knowledge. It's a way to achieve immortality. 15. Be gentle with the earth. 16. Once a year, go someplace you've never been before. 17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other. 18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it. 19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon. Many of lifes' failures are people who did not realize how close to success they were, when they gave up !!!

Facebook launches internet browser to conquer the web


As we all know, Facebook, the second largest social network on the Web with around 60 million members, is one of the fastest-growing and best-known sites on the Internet today.
Like other social networks, the site allows its users to create a profile page and forge online links with friends and acquaintances but now Facebook has thrown the switch on a system that lets users browse other sites via the networking portal. Facebook said that it would vet all those sites that wanted to sign up to Connect and review what they will do with data gathered about members. Its really terrible.
It is Called Connect, the system lets the members (facebook) use their login credentials to access other websites. The system also gives feedback about what a Facebooker’s friends have been doing on those partner sites. Among the first sites visitable through Connect will be the Discovery Channel, social news site Digg, as well as video site Hulu.Connect was first announced in May 2008 and is Facebook’s response to the work of rivals, such as MySpace, who have rolled out similar systems.All the sites are keen to ensure that they do not become a place that members go but are the only place they have to go as they can use their login information to get at content anywhere else.Behind the initiatives are software projects that open up the basic interfaces for the social sites, so others can understand how they format data about members’ activities.The built-in socialising tools on sites such as MySpace and Facebook will mean that friends can virtually gather, for instance, to watch a video via Hulu and chat about it all in the same place.
