What I learnt from the book: The Power of your subconscious mind by Dr. Joseph Murphy
For as a person thinketh in his subconscious mind, so is he. ~ Dr Joseph Murphy
These are just my learning, please read the book and collect your leanings as well.
Initially, when I started this book and went through a few chapters, I thought it was just another book. But the more I went deeper and covered other chapters, I realized this is a life-changing book and has more advice on how to do better in life with positive attitude.
The book is all about how you train your subconscious mind and be positive in all situations so that the entire universe will help you to meet your goals.
Some of the great points I collected from the books are :
- Look within for the answer to your heart’s desire.
- You have the capacity to choose. Choose LIFE! Choose LOVE! Choose HEALTH!
- Think good and good follows.
- Motion and emotion must balance.
- You will get results for your prayers.
- Your desire is your prayer. Ask and it shall be given you.
- The basis of all healing is a change of belief.
- Imagination is your most powerful faculty.
- When trying to steal from others, you rob yourself of peace, harmony, faith, honesty, integrity, goodwill and confidence.
- YOU MUST GIVE TO RECEIVE
- The real things in life are intangible.
- Your desire must benefit humanity, you should not be selfish.
- What you are seeking is also seeking you
- There is no one to change but yourself.
- Thought, emotion, reaction, and action all take place in your own mind.
- The true meaning of forgiveness is to forgive yourself.
- Do the things you are afraid to do.
- You are as valuable as you think you are.
- You can not see life, but you know you are alive.
- The harmony of the part is the harmony of the whole; for the whole is in the part and the part is in the whole.
What you are seeking is also seeking you. ~ Dr. Joseph Murphy
Thank you for your time. Happy New Year 2018.

2013 in review
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2013 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 1,400 times in 2013. If it were a cable car, it would take about 23 trips to carry that many people.
Keep smiling and make it contagious. Happy New Year 2014
May this new year brings lots of inspiration inside you to make you self efficient in the area you are growing.
Keep smiling and make it contagious.
Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,

#3 MS-Office Gyan for the day: OCR in OneNote
Optical Character Recognition, usually abbreviated to
OCR, is the mechanical or electronic conversion of scanned or photoed images of typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded/computer-readable text.
I tried exploring the OCR and other features of Microsoft One Note and its really cool. I might present in a layman style but believe me its awesome tool for your day to day notes. Just take a look how I explored One Note.
If you are using One Note get the One Note apps for free from http://www.onenote.com/
Just open your OneNote and create your Tab and your page… yes all set. This is a simple note taking application but the capabilities what One Note has is mind-blowing.
Select the Insert menu and take a look at the Ribbon. Lets try couple of feature. We will start with the OCR.
We will read text from an image!!! Cool …Right. Lets do it.
Copy Text From Picture
Here I have inserted one of my picture where some quotes are there. I will try extracting the text from the picture. Its just two step.
Right click on the picture & select “copy Text From Picture†and when you are ready “paste your text any whereâ€.
Now you try with various picture and explore the power of One Note.
Screen Clipping
How about taking screen shot in a quick and effective way with time stamp. Now I am not talking about that old “Print Screen†method of taking screen print and paste it and then write timestamp by your own. Lets see how One Note helps.
Select the Insert menu and select “Screen Clipping†and then suddenly you see One Note will disappear and will go to the background. Its giving a chance to you to capture a portion of the screen you are interested for. (next time Try the keys (Shift+ Windows + s) for a twist.)
Now once you select one area OneNote will take that portion and will paste in the text area of OneNote with a time stamp which reads like “Screen clipping taken <Date>â€. I took a screen capture from my blog.
Now a task for you , If you have a scanner attached try the other option “Scanned Imagesâ€
Where next
