Stupidity: Be Cautious

  Intelligence is a trait which gives a man his status and position in the society. Stupidity gives it too, but they both fall on the far ends of the status ladder. People praise intelligence while stupidity is a very irritating and a trait which curses one for life.

Imagination: The True Power of the Human Mind

  Imagination and Knowledge are two completely different traits in this world. But it might sound weird but they have a lot in common. More than we can think about. People might give knowledge more weight but the truth is there is nothing powerful than imagination and the creativity it produces.
  Albert Einstein, one of the biggest names in physics said "the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination". Intelligence to a man is a trait that comes not by books but by the beauty of his mind. Creativity and Imagination in life is necessary.
  Both have different bases. Knowledge is based on the facts and has a logical path for it. Imagination on the other hand is something completely opposite. It let's you create things which you can't see, things which you can't feel but you want to feel. Knowledge is not of any use if the imagination is not functioning properly. Imagination is the final result intended after the gain of knowledge. Knowledge sharpens the brain like a stone sharpens a knife, but if the knife does not cut there is no use of it. Imagination is the use of that knowledge, Imagination is the world that is out of the books, out of the box. No one can be taught to imagine and be creative. Imagination is the process which is turned on by the batteries of knowledge when necessity is required.
  Who would have thought of the steam engine which changed the world by the industrial revolution. It was with the recipe of knowledge and the flavors and spices of imagination. Albert Einstein said "Innovation is not a part of logical thought, even though the final product is tied to a logical structure". This quote very much explains the relation between logic a.k.a knowledge and imagination.
  Pablo Picasso also tells about his secret of history changing in art. He said "I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them". Thinking is his imagination and seeing is his reliance on the knowledge he has visibly available to him.
  So dear readers imagination is an important part of your life. Never sustain yourself to just knowledge of the books. Let your imagination run wild with the speed it deserves. Because your imagination, my dear fellow, is more worth than you imagine.

Visa: The Indo Pak Frontier

  Pakistan and India have struggled to maintain a stable relationship since the partition in 1947. Both countries either due to political or military conflict have not been able to resolve many on going hot conflicts between them. For example the Kashmir Dispute is still a hot topic which is nowhere near a conclusion.

Society: Taking up arms

  What has become of our society? No sense of security. No sense of freedom. Men are not safe from thugs and gangsters. Businesses are not safe from Mafia's and greedy or corrupt politicians. Women are not safe from men. The chain goes on. The rule of the jungle has overruled in the land of the educated and sophisticated Human Beings. The cycle of the prey and the predator exists in our society as well.

Warehouse: A Luxury for Drop Ship Businesses


  One of the benefits of a wholesale drop ship business is that we do rarely need a warehouse to store the goods. The goods are usually handed from the seller to the purchaser, sometimes without you even literally seeing the goods. Due to that usually people who do the wholesale drop ship business rarely need warehouses. 
Why Need Warehouses?
  The owner of the wholesale drop ship e-business usually needs a warehouse if they are trying to expand the business in other territories or other fields. Usually when going from buying and selling bulks to buying bulks and selling retail there is a need for a warehouse.
What Kind of Warehouse?
  We usually need warehouses to store the goods, so it all depends on how much space you need to store. There are many factors you should consider before making anything your warehouse. Some of the few factors which contribute to the result of what kind of warehouse to buy are:
How big is the inventory of goods which you need to store?
How much is the quantity of the goods you need to store?
Are the goods seasonal or are in a regular flow? 
If seasonal how much space you need then and all round the year?
Many other factors like size and conditions of storage are also to be considered.
 Here are some of the warehouse options you can start your storage with, like your house, garage etc
Your Home the Warehouse for Starters
  It is a good place to start as a warehouse. But there are a few things for the owner to consider before going thru this step.
  The owner should first of all look into the sales tax laws and if not satisfied with the knowledge they have, they should seek advice of a professional. The other thing to be considered is that does the insurance cover everything which is stored? If you are unsure about it you should call your home insurance agent and ask him if the policy cover’s it or not.
Personal Storage Units for Rent
  Here is another kind of storage unit. The problem is that they may charge more for weather control, so here are a few tips to get you going
Buy 2 spaces, 1 big for the normal stuff and 1 for things you need to keep under certain conditions.
Check for CCTV cameras and check the security and theft history for the place.
Check on the access hours and details like how many men are allowed etc
Renting Commercial Warehouses
  This is the last and the biggest stop for warehousing the wholesale goods. It is costly but if you really need space big enough to unload a lot of cargo and store it then it is perfect for you. There are although some cons to it.
  The rent is high and is without manual labor and fork-lifts and utilities. If you can pay then and still have a profit it’s good, if not your business is going to dry out. Insurance and security measures are completely up to you. Another decline in the monthly profit.
  Any person in this particular field should start small, and they might never need a space as big as this. There are many ways for warehousing your goods but if the inventory is not kept accurately any kind of warehouse can be a headache for a drop ship retail business.
  There are different kinds of options for a bulk to bulk wholesale drop ship business to set their warehouse. It all depends on the size and quantity of the goods. The owner should consider the smallest possible warehouse to start the retail business and think for bigger spaces when the profit margin can cover it with ease. The wholesale to retail drop ship business ultimately needs a well monitored and maintained warehouse to be successful.

Best Laptop Deals: Finding What Suit’s You Best


  Buying cheap laptop computers is very easy today. Due to a wide variety of competition present in the market companies are present in almost every neighborhood. This allows a person in search for a laptop to buy something he needs and is also affordable.
  Though some setbacks are present in buying a cheap laptop computer over all it is worth buying if you get what you wanted in the end. Buying laptop computers on a cheaper price might not be easy because it is hard to find one that completes all the needs.
What You Need To Know
  When buying you should always remember that cheap laptop computers are usually refurbished laptops. They are once used then the machinery is replaced with new one or else only repaired and sold on cheaper rates. Sometimes even if refurbished if selected properly it can be an investment worthwhile.
Finding Laptops That Fit the Needs
  Due to different age groups present in the society there are different needs for a laptop computer as well. Age groups vary from an elementary student to a senior citizen, each having different needs. Before a buyer set’s his or her foot in the market to buy a cheap and affordable computer they should see what it is going to be used for. Some need it mostly for gaming purposes; while others might need it for business purposes. Therefore it is necessary to buy what fit’s both the needs and the pay grade.
Different Ages, Different Laptops
  From kids to adults all need them these days. They are affordable if you look for them in the right places. Finding cheap one’s can be difficult but if it is fitting the needs it should be worth looking for.
Kids and Teens
  Small kids need laptops for gaming and might also need other word processing software to do homework. The buyer should definitely buy laptops which fit the need and buy them at cheap rates if possible.
On the other hand teens need laptops which need to make a statement. Buying them cheap laptops is not going to do the trick. They need laptops with internet connections and word processing and spreadsheet software capability. They would also want good music players and graphics for better gaming experience then the age group before.
From College Students to Adults
  College students can go on with using used and cheap laptop computers. The main concern is that they need laptop computers which are affordable but compact and easy to carry. They need laptops with capability to have wireless internet and to run professional software.
  Adults might have a variety of needs for a laptop computer. They might need it for business as well as home use. They should buy the type that completes the business needs and is compact and light to carry.
You could try to buy deals with them. As most of the groups need other hardware with the laptop you should look for deals as well. The most common one is a printer. You can buy a laptop and a printer separately, but it will cost more. Instead you should try to buy them together. Buying laptop computers is hard but in the end finding the perfect one is what makes it worthwhile.
   Cheap laptops are hard to buy, especially with the specifics of the need. Each age group has different needs so it is necessary to know what you are looking for before you buy it. Buying laptops can be gruesome if you don’t know anything or don’t have a mindset to what you what. Always buy cheap affordable laptops with keeping in mind for what purpose it really is.

Systems: Creation and Abolishment

  Failure is inevitable, Collapse of a system, Collapse of a nation is inevitable. Each has had it's own share in the history of the world. Though failure is inevitable, it is in the system's power to control it's bubble burst. It is in the system's hand to control it's self destruction.
  To create something new destruction of it's predecessor is necessary. Wether a Nation or an idealogy, destruction for it's creation and for it's end are the true nature that has been in the cycle of the world's history.
  The world has most recently experienced a change in the systems of the world. It was before Karl Marx that Aristocrats and the nobles had the power in their hands. The "Bourgeoisie" had the power and the "Proletariats" or the underclass were in a struggle. The Industrial revolution made the division much more visible between these two types of classes. Karl Marx a German philosopher proposed a set of theories which led to revolutionize the major parts of the world. Karl Marx once said "History is nothing but a struggle between classes". Due to his theories Communism rose all around the world. Aristocratic powers declined and Revolution began.
  Karl Marx also said in faith of the Communist Revolution "Let the ruling classes tremble at a communist revolution. The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win. Working men of all countries, Unite!"
  Thus it ended the Aristocratic reign all over the world. It not only gave the world a new, an improved system, but also gave rise to new nations. The aristocrats and wealthy businessmen in Russia were over thrown. This created a new nation The Communist Russia. The effect of Karl Marx and his ideology remained for more than a century.
  Once again there was to be a change as destruction was inevitable. Most of the west which was still struggling for Capitalism tried to pressure the Communist world. In 1960's the Communism started softening and thus on it's very grave was born Socialism. A concept which was a blend of both the Bourgeoisie and Proletarian views. Socialism thus today is more powerful than The almost dead Communism and Capitalism. Capitalism is also to be soon go for it's grave as it's successor is getting stronger day by day.
  And as I said earlier on it is in the system's hand to protect itself from the collapse. One day or the other the system will have to collapse and the people of the system for their lives to continue will have to adapt to a new system. Since the past few decades Capitalism has started losing it's control as well. The two Financial Depressions, the Wall Street crash and the the crash of stock exchanges all around the world are leading the dear system to it's inevitable collapse.

Great Work of A Great Mind

  The English poet, John Keats wrote the poem On the Grasshopper and the Cricket as a response to a challenge by his good friend Leigh Hunt. John Keat was a pantheist who died at a young age of 25. During such a short period of life he composed astonishing amount of powerful poetry. This particular Petrarchan sonnet "On the Grasshopper and the cricket" was written whenhe was 21.
  The speaker of this poem appreciates the poetry of nature in it's finest detail. The speaker's tone of admiration and the softness seems to emanate from the poem.
  The poem has a cyclic nature overall. The themes are of the cyclic way in which nature evolves every year. By giving the poem cyclic themes it shows that wether rain or shine,hot or cold, the poetry persists. The nature's persisting due to it's persistance itself becomes the star of the poetry, without considering the insects.  Though by capitalizing letters of their name Keats confirms the Grasshopper's and the Crickets authority within the poem.
  The Cricket is also an appreciator of warmth. Though the nocturnal insect is referred in the "winter evenings", its appreciation is "never ceasing" which becomes the Volta. In an impossible to enjoy environment, one can still have poetry by making itself.
  The first line "The poetry of earth is never dead" and the altered-Volta "The poetry of earthis ceasing never" show both poetry will be just as good. Even though the poetic energies appear to be dead, they're not.
  The alliteration "new-mown mead" also has assonance in it. It helps create a calm and contemplated mood. It is contrasted with "wrought" and "frost" which emphasize a chilling sensation.
  The poetry's rhyme scheme a,b,b,a a,b,b,a c,d,e c,d,e is a caudated form of sonnet developed by John Milton. This particular format eliminates the "sing-song" feel, which might detract from the subject.
  The meter of the poem is virtually non-existent at times. Perhaps, this is a mechanism for the reader to feel a sense of enjoyment with words.
  The Grasshopper and the Cricket are compared in the poem in which neither is superior.The Cricket enjoys the winter as much as the Grasshopper enjoys the summer.

Democracy: Keeping the Spark Alive

  Democracy, a form of government in making since the ancient times. Known to be introduced in Athens, Greece in 5th century B.C. The word Democracy or demokratia in Greek means "People Power". Democracy developed as revolutions and reforms in the political systems came as time progressed.
  Democracy was first introduced in 508-507 B.C in Athens by Cleisthenes. Cleisthenes is known as "the father of Athenian Democracy" or"Direct Democracy". Later Spartans adopted the Democratic view and introduced Ranged Democracy.
  Democracy during the Ancient times was influenced most by the Roman Republic. Roman Republic, though  the first to have representative government in the West, very little of democracy was used in Rome. They used "gerrymandering" by which only the wealthy and the noble got elected. The eligibility of voting was so narrowed that very few people were allowed to vote.
  During the Middle Ages forms of elections occurred all over the known world. Though forms of elections and assemblies occurred in many places, only a few of the population were allowed to cast a vote. The famous Gopala in Bengal region of India's elections were influenced by the Hindu caste system. The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was constituted by 10% of the population. On the other hand most of the medieval Europe was ruled by Feudal lords.
  During the Middle Ages the Parliament of English created a piece of mass influence which restricted the King's certain powers. The very famous Magna Carta was shape and came into being. The first ever elected parliament was of England in 1265. Great Britain after world changing revolutions like Magna Carta also became one of the oldest Democracy of the world.
  The North American colonies of English Puritans established democracy as the way of governance. These Democratic development helped in shaping the future of the Democratic and Independent Government of The United States of America.
  Many Revolutions began in Europe as the demand of liberal Democratic government increased among the people. The United States were build on the basis of Democracy. The Democracy that gave complete rights of freedom, equality and security to it's citizens. Though the citizens were as of in theory were to be given these three things, during early elections only white male landowners were allowed democratic rights.
  Centuries of protests by all kinds of people, whether white or black, or Japanese or American, they were given rights to be an equal part in establishing the country's future. The 16th American President said "Democracy is by the People, for the People, to the People". Abraham Lincoln is also the first of the many great political leaders who fought for equality of different races. He was the first person to officially end slavery in the world.
  On the other occasion Abraham Lincoln also announced his idea of Democracy saying "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of Democracy". During times Democracy developed and withstood the taunts and restrictions of the monarchs of the era. The idea prevailed through centuries and the modern form of democracy is thankful to the sacrifices of all it's ancestral forms. It developed from the father of Arthenian Democracy "Cleisthenes" in Athens in form of Direct Democracy. Today it has completely changed and turned the spark of the vision and changed into the most advancing form of government in the current century. The vision gave what it promised after all. Freedom, Equality and a sense of social and economical Security.
  Though on the other hand people like John Adams said that "Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than aristocracy or monarchy.Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide"...

(The following discussion on the growth of democracy just covers up bits of information on how time and democracy gave flame to freedom and equality. I would be glad if my readers responded through comments and shared their opinions on this form of Democracy)
