1. When you want something, the whole universe conspires to make it happen.
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
2. Detach from all things and you will be free.
“When I had nothing to lose, I had everything.”
3. We are all here for a purpose.
“No matter what he does, every person on earth plays a central role in
the history of the world. And normally he doesn’t know it.”
“Everybody has a creative potential and from the moment you can express
this creative potential, you can start changing the world.”
4. The only thing standing between you and your dream are your fears.
“Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.”
“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”
5. Mistakes are part of life.
“Everything tells me that I am about to make a wrong decision, but
making mistakes is just part of life. What does the world want of me?
Does it want me to take no risks, to go back to where I came from
because I didn’t have the courage to say “yes” to life?”
6. Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies meet.
“Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the
bodies see each other. Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we
reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These
meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them
happening. If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or
if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself,
and our universe changes direction.”
7. Every experience, either good or bad, comes with a lesson.
“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing
to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have
overcome them will we understand why they were there.”
8. Do not seek for love outside of you.
“Love is not to be found in someone else but in ourselves; we simply
awaken it. But in order to do that, we need the other person.”
9. When you change, the whole world changes with you.
“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we
strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better
too.”
10. No reason is needed for loving.
“One is loved because one is loved. No reason is needed for loving.”
11. Mind your own business.
“Everyone seems to have a clear idea of how other people should lead their lives, but none about his or her own.”
12. When someone leaves, it’s because someone else is about to arrive.
“No one loses anyone, because no one owns anyone. That is the true
experience of freedom: having the most important thing in the world
without owning it.”
13. Love is an untamed force.
“When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it,
it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost
and confused.”
14. Wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.
“Remember that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure.”
15. Judge not.
“We can never judge the lives of others, because each person knows only
their own pain and renunciation. It’s one thing to feel that you are on
the right path, but it’s another to think that yours is the only path.”
16. Children have valuable lessons to teach you.
“A child can teach an adult three things: to be happy for no reason, to
always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his
might that which he desires.”
17. Appreciate the contrast of life.
“Never be ashamed,’ he said. ‘Accept what life offers you and try to
drink from every cup. All wines should be tasted; some should only be
sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.’ ‘How will I know which
is which?’ ‘By the taste. You can only know a good wine if you have
first tasted a bad one.”
18. Nobody’s responsible for how you feel or don’t feel.
“In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each responsible for our
own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel.”
19. Your beliefs shape you and make you who you are.
“You are what you believe yourself to be.”
20. Let go of the need to explain yourself.
“Don’t explain. Your friends do not need it, and your enemies will not believe you.”
21. Love changes everything.
“It is not time that changes man nor knowledge the only thing that can change someone’s mind is love.”
22. Don’t mistake elegance with superficiality.
“Elegance is usually confused with superficiality, fashion, lack of
depth. This is a serious mistake: human beings need to have elegance in
their actions and in their posture because this word is synonymous with
good taste, amiability, equilibrium and harmony.”
23. When you do work from your soul, the critics won’t hurt you.
“I write from my soul. This is the reason that critics don’t hurt me,
because it is me. If it was not me, if I was pretending to be someone
else, then this could unbalance my world, but I know who I am.”
24. Each day brings a miracle of its own.
“You can become blind by seeing each day as a similar one. Each day is a
different one, each day brings a miracle of its own. It’s just a matter
of paying attention to this miracle.”
25. Embrace your authenticity
“You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as
everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you
to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of
attitude?”
“You must be the person you have never had the courage to be. Gradually,
you will discover that you are that person, but until you can see this
clearly, you must pretend and invent.”
“If you want to be successful, you must respect one rule – Never lie to yourself.”

Unit of Measurement of Area of a Land in India
In Uttar Pradesh
1 bigha = 20 bissa = around 27000 sq.ft.
Square Measure 1 square foot = 0.093 square metre
1 square yard = 0.836 square metre
1 square mile = 2.59 square kilometre*= 259 hectares
1 acre = 0.405 hectares
1 Acre = 4 Bigha 16 Biswa (4840 Sq.Yds)
1 Bigha = 20 Biswas (1008 Sq.Yds)
1 Biswa = 150 Sq.Yards <-- if 1 biswa is 150 sq yard bigha has 20 biswa then 1 acre has 1.7 bigha .
Biswas is 125 m2 or 154.32 yd2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bigha is a traditional unit of land in several parts of India, with land purchases still being undertaken in this unit. However, it varies in size from one part of India to another. It is usually less than an acre (0.4 hectare), however could extend up to 3 acres. Various states and often parts within states have different sizes attributed to 1 Bigha.

Bigha is a traditional unit of land in several parts of India, with land purchases still being undertaken in this unit. However, it varies in size from one part of India to another. It is usually less than an acre (0.4 hectare), however could extend up to 3 acres. Various states and often parts within states have different sizes attributed to 1 Bigha.
- In Assam, India, a Bigha is 14400 ft2(1337.8 m2). It is subdivided into 5 Kotha. Each Kotha consists of 20 Lecha. Each Lecha is 144 ft2((13.378 m2)in area, and hence each Kotha is 2880 ft2((267.56 m2) in area. (may vary)
- In Bihar, different parts use different sizes for Bigha. Near the capital, Patna, 1 Bigha is equivalent to 20 Kattha each worth 1361 ft2((126.44 m2). Furthermore, One Kattha is subdivided in 20 Dhur. Hence, each Dhur is approximately 68.06 ft2((6.321 m2).
- Further, in some of the eastern parts of the state including Munger, Bhagalpur and Jamui, one Dhur is further subdivided into 1 square Lagga (pole length). One Lagga is equivalent to 5.5 hand lengths, with each hand length being 18 inches (45.72 cm). Therefore one Lagga is 99 inches, or 251.46 cm.
- In Himachal Pradesh, India, 5 Bigha is equal to 1 acre (0.0809 hectare).
- In Punjab, India, 6 Bigha is equal to 1 acre (0.1012 hectare).
- In central India, Bighas were standardized at 3025 yd2((2529.3 m2) or 5/8 acre (0.2529 hectare).
- In Madhya Pradesh, India, 1 Katha = 600 square feet (56 m2).
- In Uttar Pradesh In developed part of uttar pradesh that is west up there are two ranges of 1 Bhiga.One is equal to 5 biswa(one biswa is 125 m2() and in other it is equal to 6.75 biswa.In rest up 1 Bigha is divided into 20 Biswas. Each Biswas is 125 m2 or 154.32 yd2(, hence one Bigha is 0.25 Hectare (or 2500 m2 or 301 yd2(). 7 Bisa ~ 1 Bigha (Kaccha)(In Western UP)IN u.p 1 acres = 2 biga
- In Uttar Pradesh (West) the measurements are slightly different: 1 Bigha=20 Bishwa=60 Decimal=2428.80 m2
- In Uttarakhand, 1 Bigha is subdivided into 19 Bissas or 12 Nali. In Imperial and SI Units, each Bigha is 968 yd2 or 800 m2.
- In West Bengal, the Bigha was standardized under British colonial rule at 1600 yd2 (0.1338 hectare or 0.3306 acre); this is often interpreted as being 1/3 acre (it is precisely 40⁄121 acre). In Metric units, a Bigha is hence 1333 m2.

Bounce Back from a Setback.
"I don't measure a man's success by how high he climbs but how high he bounces when he hits bottom."
~ George S. Patton
It’s easy to stay motivated when everything’s going well. But our plans don’t always go smoothly.
Perhaps you’ve experienced a setback on your way towards a particular goal:
- An injury that stopped you working
- An unexpected changes of life
What motivate
us to persevere when we experience setbacks? It is really hard to figure
out or describe what they really are but they are real gems of our life

The life of Warren Buffet
1. He bought his first share at age 11 and he now regrets that he started too late!
2. He bought a small farm at age 14 with savings from delivering newspapers.
3. He still lives in the same small 3 bedroom house in mid-town Omaha, that he bought after he got married 50 years ago. He says that he has everything he needs in that house. His house does not have a wall or a fence.
4. He drives his own car everywhere and does not have a driver or security people around him.
5. He never travels by private jet, although he owns the world’s largest private jet company.
6. His company, Berkshire Hathaway, owns 63 companies. He writes only one letter each yearto the CEOs of these companies, giving them goals for the year. He never holds meetings or calls them on a regular basis.
7. He has given his CEO’s only two rules. Rule number 1: do not lose any of your share holder’s money. Rule number 2: Do not forget rule number 1.
8. He does not socialize with the high society crowd. His past time after he gets home is to make himself some pop corn and watch television.
9. Bill Gates, the world’s richest man met him for the first time only 5 years ago. Bill Gates did not think he had anything in common with Warren Buffet. So he had scheduled his meeting only for half hour. But when Gates met him, the meeting lasted for ten hours and Bill Gates became a devotee of Warren Buffet.
10. Warren Buffet does not carry a cell phone, nor has a computer on his desk.

John D. Rockefeller
I would rather earn 1% off a 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts.
I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.
Competition is a sin.
Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.
I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.
Next to doing the right thing, the most important thing is to let people know you are doing the right thing.
~ John D. Rockefeller

- I was early taught to work as well as play,
My life has been one long, happy holiday;
Full of work and full of play —
I dropped the worry on the way —
And God was good to me every day.
- I believe it is a religious duty to get all the money you can, fairly and honestly; to keep all you can, and to give away all you can.
- TIME Magazine (21. May 1928) [2]
- I believe the power to make money is a gift of God … to be developed and used to the best of our ability for the good of mankind. Having been endowed with the gift I possess, I believe it is my duty to make money and still more money and to use the money I make for the good of my fellow man according to the dictates of my conscience.
- Interview with William Hoster, quoted in God's Gold (1932) by John T. Flynn
- The ability to deal with people is as purchasable a commodity as sugar or coffee, and I will pay more for that ability than for any other under the sun.
