    Is it because its all true?

  • How come black people dominated every sport BUT soccer?

    Yes a lot of people that doesn’t like soccer or think soccer is for sissy’s is because they live in the US but if they live anywhere else Soccer is the most popular sport EVERYWHERE so getting that out of the way, you would assumed that since black people dominated mostly every sport but not soccer would there be a reason?
    Most of the best players of the year are not black. There are some good players but mostly are not black. I’m not racist but I’m just wondering. They are good at basketball, football, sprint, mostly all.

  • Why is bariatric surgery worthwhile? How does it benefit people?

    Posted on January 16th, 2010 admin No comments

    Bariatric surgery has been developing in the UK over the last 10 years. In the early days, ask a member of the public about obesity surgery and they would have replied “stomach stapling” or returned a blank stare. However, some spectacular weight losses in celebrities have been attributed to the skills of Bariatric Surgeons and the general public now want a share.

    In the US, Carnie Wilson and Rosanne Barr discussed their operations and rekindled their careers in the process. In the UK, Anne Diamond and Fern Britton are well known for their own gastric band successes. Their “girl next door” personalities have led the regular public to believe that an operation might help them too and not just be the preserve of the rich and famous.

    There is a tendency to see obesity surgery as a treatment for just fat women but this isn’t the case. Who couldn’t fail to be impressed by the pictures of the slim and healthy Diego Maradona after his RNY gastric bypass? Even super fit professional footballers can be affected by obesity and this high profile player took action to stop the damage-again returning himself to the public arena.

    In recent years one of the most exciting discoveries has been seen the effect gastric bypass surgery has on type II diabetes. Bariatric doctors have shown that in many cases gastric bypass surgery actually cures type II diabetes. This is a spectacular discovery since diabetes complications include damage to eyesight, blood vessels and kidneys. This type of benefit is of great significance to obese patients who suffer with type 2 diabetes.

    Heart disease is the number one killer in the UK. Those who are obese are more susceptible to heart disease. Bariatric surgery reduces weight and blood fats thereby decreasing this risk from heart disease.

    Gastric band and bypass patients are often overwhelmed at the enormous benefits of their operations. They have more energy, more motivation to exercise, work and live! Many will say that simply being able to walk to the shop, take their children swimming and buy regular clothes. Overwhelmingly the greatest benefit of bariatric surgery is to a person’s health, these benefits make the whole journey worthwhile.

    Patients of Streamline Surgical typically say that bariatric surgery is the best decision they have ever made, for many the only regret is not doing it sooner!

    At Streamline Surgical we offer a group of bariatric specialists for gastric band and bypass surgery providing the best care for our patients. The most common obesity surgery is gastric band and bypass done by our experienced Bariatric Surgeons.

  • Sometimes People Can’t Handle Success

    Posted on January 1st, 2010 admin No comments

    Sometimes people can’t handle success – Satish Nair

    “I tried 1000 different ways to find a solution, but 1001st was the best solution” – Thomas Alva Edison, when asked about his experience in inventing the light bulb.

    The first question is “What is Success?” : The dictionaries provide various definitions of success as ‘an occurrence that accomplishes its intended purpose’ or ‘a state of prosperity or fame’ or ‘a realization that a person is successful’, but success is broader than what we define. Achieving success means you became famous; you can have enough money to buy the luxuries you longed for so many years, you are being a darling of the masses.

    Anybody can achieve success, however for that one has to have the self belief within him that he can, this is the primary step towards success. If you do not believe in yourself, then creating that feeling is your first assignment. Secondly, we have to focus on what we are going to do to achieve success, something we already have and something we have to attain from others.

    There are many factors that contribute to success or failure, the most important of which is a person’s mindset. One can not create and sustain success, if his thoughts, beliefs and emotions are not adjusted to success. If one believes in oneself, money or what success means for them are in dissimilarity to a successful life, he finds it difficult or impossible to create one.

    Some of the key factors for people, who want to be successful are determination, decisiveness, continuous learning, constructive planning, hard-work, relentless practice (regain the mettle even when things are going against his wishes), have to have the ability to recover and learn from failures. One requires a strong vision of his future, his planning; setting achievable goals all can play important roles in becoming successful.

    There is no need to worry, If one does not have all the above characteristics, think success is not a heavenly fruit, as if one can only dream of it, everybody can achieve it with various techniques. One can set goals and objectives, which may be inherited qualities, however learning some advanced techniques for success, which can only be learned from schools/people. You have to develop mental strength to succeed, which will enable you to recover from setbacks more easily.

    There is another side of this coin that lot many people, famous personalities, they can not handle the success suitably – can say success is an catastrophe for them – a bad experience. How to handle the success depends upon the person as an individual i.e. it is a very individual matter. To somebody success is an unexciting aspect, but to somebody it is an energizing factor to achieve more. We surprise when we hear news about famous people, who suffer from alcoholism, drug abuse and serious emotional problems, we see that success can bring different kinds of discomfort alongwith it. Diego Maradona, Mike Tyson, Princess Diana are perfect examples, facing serious problems when they are famous, as if people think they have everything, but suffered at different levels and they fee they are alone in the midst of fame.

    First Example Diego Maradona. He is former caption of Argentine football team. He played in four World Cups, won a world cup in 1986, received FIFA Player of the Century and voted in 2000 by FIFA, the best football player of all time surpassing the great footballer ever PELE.

    Since the 1990s, Maradona has been battling cocaine addiction, which included spells in Swiss and Cuban clinics. After retirement, Maradona spent most of his time in Cuba (can say in hospital), and after returning to Argentina suddently he suffered a major heart attack following a cocaine overdose and was admitted to intensive care in a Buenos Aires hospital. After he showed improvement, Maradona was taken off the respirator on April 23 and remained in intensive care for several days before being discharged.

    Second example : Diana, Princes of Wales, from the time of her engagement to the Prince of Wales in 1981 until her death after a car accident in 1997, Diana was one of the most famous women in the world, a pre-eminent celebrity of her generation. During her lifetime, she was often described as the world’s most photographed woman. To her admirers, the Princess of Wales was a role model; After her death, there were even calls for her to be nominated for sainthood, while her detractors, consider her to have been suffering from a mental illness; it has been suggested that Diana was, according to one biographer, possibly suffering from Borderline personality disorder. Diana herself admitted to struggling with depression, and the eating disorder bulimia, which recurred throughout her adult life.

    Third Example is of Mike Tyson. At the height of his fame and career in the late 1980s and throughout the ’90s, Tyson was one of the most recognized sports personalities in the world. Apart from his many sporting accomplishments, his outrageous and controversial behavior in the ring and in his private life as well as the drug and alcoholic abuses has kept him in the public eye than his career.

    Tyson retired from competitive boxing in 2005. He has since engaged in a series of exhibition bouts in a tour across the US to pay his numerous debts. Despite receiving over US$30 million for several of his fights and $300 million over his career, Tyson declared bankrupt in 2003. now, Tyson appears in countless popular media in either cameo appearances or as a subject of parody or satire.

    So why these people addicted to drugs, alcohol and suffering from various disorders? And the answer is “Sometimes people can’t handle success” the reasons may be they fear the success and self sabotage their lives, that’s what happened to Maradona, Mike Tyson and Princes Diana, there were throwing the fame away. No one has been able to break through this massive self sabotage. No wonder that people are afraid of success. To achieve success means need of a lot of self-examination along with chances in lifestyle and facelift of our behaviors.

    We are NOT just talking about some personalities here; we are talking about every successful people, including you. Success is like a hard rock, not everybody is able to crack or pull it down easily. Chances are that anybody who tasted the success in any field can face such problems at any moment of time; it is not a fault of us, but a phenomenon people around the world face.

    Satisfaction is an important ingredient of success. For becoming successful, you have to learn to get satisfied. This often means giving up wanting and longing, two feelings that don’t go with satisfaction.

    Let us hope we will not be addicted to the drugs and alcohol like Maradona did, but almost everyone is limiting his lives because part of him is afraid of success. If it applies to us, then we should retrospect that what receding factors and soul searching to know what pulled us back, so that we can rectify the wrongs and find the rights.

    Success requires discipline, determination and a strong belief in oneself. It’s a whole lot easier to stay where you are than to move into a new state of being.

  • Why do people call Diego Maradona a cheat?

    Posted on December 25th, 2009 admin 12 comments

    Just because he used drugs at one point doesn’t make him a cheat…and that fight has nothing to do with it either.

    Maradona was the TRUE god of soccer, not Pele.
