5 Simple Ways to Purpose

Propose Where You First Met
Nothing like recreating that moment you first met to once again steal her heart away and prove that you remember the little details about your relationship. Maybe the place you first met wasn’t the coolest of places, but showing her you remember where it all started will have her head-over-heels.





Propose At Her Favorite Place
Whether it’s a restaurant or a destination, proposing at her favorite place will give her a new favorite memory to associate the place with and to have in general. Also note that if you let the restaurant on that you’re proposing at their establishment, they’ll usually give you a little special treatment, whether it be a top-notch table or a complimentary dessert or wine.

Propose When She’ll Least Expect It
The element of surprise will have her knocked off her feet. Many women, once the topic of marriage has been approached, will start suspecting any romantic evening to end with a diamond ring, but by doing it when she isn’t expecting it makes it all the more a genuine response and the more exciting.

Propose While On Vacation
A little R&R… Relaxation and a ring sound much better than rest and relaxation. Your vacation will be nothing but bliss when your fiancĂ© gets that ring and can’t stop smiling, which will make you unable to stop smiling. You get a vacation and a fiancĂ©, how is that not a good time?

Propose With A Hobby
Maybe your lady is into art, or baking, or playing games. Find a way to incorporate a marriage proposal into one of her favorite things. Maybe you draw a picture of a chapel you want to get married at, or you frost a cake to say ‘will you marry me?’ or you play the game Scrabble and spell out ‘marry me.’ Combining one of her hobbies with the proposal will show her what a crafty, amazing guy you are.
Have you figured out how you’re going to propose? We also have some tips for helping you choose the perfect wedding ring.

5 Simple ways to speed up your computer

In today’s world of technology, computers are all around us, however, not all of them operate smoothly as they should due to simple but stubborn issues here and there due to either poor maintenance practices or mere negligence. To ensure that your computer runs efficiently at it’s normal speed, try effecting the following 5 simple steps to speed up your computer:




Stay Up To Date with All Windows Updates

Being the owner of Windows, Microsoft releases Windows updates annually to ensure your computer’s efficiency as well as keeping it updated as they understand their operating system best. Therefore, get your computer running smoothly and enjoy all the benefits associated with Windows updates by downloading them for free from Microsoft.

Too Many Applications Running 

Your computer’s speed is severely reduced when you have too many applications running simultaneously. Therefore limiting the number of applications running at the same time will improve the speed at which your computer operates. Apart from that, it is prudent for you to uninstall programs you do not need so that you increase the memory size of your computer and hence increase efficiency.

Scan for Viruses/Trojans

To maintain your computer’s high speed, it is important for you to scan your computer regularly for viruses. To improve your computer’s safety from viruses, download a recommended antivirus that will ensure that your computer does not compromise it’s efficiency by having viruses running throughout whenever your computer is in use. An antivirus keeps away viruses from invading your computer and thus maintains the optimum speed of your computer.

Clean up Your Start up Programs

The best way to improve your boot time is by getting rid of most of the unnecessary start up programs. Your boot time gets slower when you have so many startup programs booting too whenever your computer is booting. You can get rid of unwanted startup programs by un-checking them under the startup tab after going to MSCONFIG configuration. This will not only improve your boot time but your loading time as well.

Clean up Your Registry

It is very important to clean your registry on a regular basis because most of your vital settings as well as programs are stored in your registry. To avoid windows errors, it is important to remove all the residues that are left in your registry after uninstalling certain programs that constantly affect the smooth running of your system. This is the most effective way of getting rid of windows errors from your system and maintaining it’s efficiency.
These 5 simple steps make it easier for you to speed up your computer. Your computer can be affected by the smallest of things that are even hard to notice, however, their impact on your computer can be detrimental.

how to achieve your goal

1. Find a Real Challenge
Make your goal compelling and achievable--yet challenging. Brilliant minds need a challenge; otherwise boredom will set in and your plan will fall to the wayside. State your goal in writing.
2. Stick to Positive Emotional Connectors
Make a list of the positive things that will result from achieving this goal. Stay away from subtly negative statements like "I will worry less." Dig for things that excite you. Your outcome must be something that you look forward to with great anticipation and enthusiasm.
3. Create a Visual Representation
Find compelling images that represent your outcome. If an increase in revenue means that you can take a family vacation, find images that represent your ideal vacation. If it means that you will have the budget to work with a distributor who has connections to your ideal clients, find images of your prospect's logos or storefront.  Cut your images out and glue them onto a poster or piece of paper. Congratulations! You have just created a vision board!
4. Share
Bring others into your vision by sharing your vision with employees and others who are critical to achieving company goals. Help them to connect to it as well.  Ask them what these goals mean to them and what exciting outcome they can attach to the vision. Share this exercise with them and encourage them to create a vision board too!
5. Have Patience
Now it's time to allow the process to do its magic. Make time to contemplate your vision board and feel the rewards associated with achievement. Do this daily. The more passionate you feel about your outcome the more driven you will become.
Make sure to recognize every small step that takes you closer to your desired outcome. Entrepreneurs often dismiss these achievements. Celebrate them! Recall the passion that brought you to this business--and reconnect with it often.

Best Ways to Study

1. Testing yourself repeatedly before an exam teaches the brain to retrieve and apply knowledge from memory. The method is more effective than re-reading a textbook.
2. Review the toughest material right before going to bed the night before the test. That approach makes it easier to recall the material later.
3. Don’t wake up earlier than usual to study; this could interfere with the rapid-eye-movement sleep that aids memory. (All-nighters impair memory and reasoning for up to 4 days).
4. Eat breakfast the day of a big test. High-carb, high-fiber, slow-digesting foods like oatmeal are best.
5. What you eat a week in advance matters, too. Students who ate a regular balanced diet that included fruit and vegetable did better than those who ate a high-fat, low-carb diet that was heavy on meat, eggs, cheese, and cream. The brain requires a constant supply of energy and “has only a limited backup battery.”
6. While many teens insist they study better while listening to music or texting their friends, research shows the opposite: Information reviewed amid distractions is less likely to be recalled later.
7. Reducing “novelty and stress on the day of the exam” can prevent choking under pressure. If you are taking the exam in an unfamiliar place, visit the room in advance.
8. If you’re still feeling anxious about an exam, set aside 10 minutes beforehand to write down your worries. Expressing one’s worries in writing, unburdens the brain.
Here’s 9 & 10 from me.
9. Short and frequent is better than long and rare. It is better to study your four or five subjects every day for shorter times than to study one subject each day for the full day. By the time you go back to what you studied four or five days previously, most of what you learned will have gone.
10. Repeat, repeat, repeat. I know it’s really boring but it’s also really effective. When I ask struggling Hebrew students about their study habits, they will usually say, “Well, I study 2-3 hours every day. The first thing I tell them to do is to shorten their study time. Once they’ve started breathing again, I explain the strategy using the following diagram:

(I can’t remember where I picked this up, but it works for all subjects, and especially for language study).
8am: Study the subject first thing in the morning for 45-60 minutes maximum. As soon as you end that period, your mind immediately starts losing data at a frighteningly rapid rate. Imagine where this graph ends up by the end of the day (feel familiar?)
11am: Re-study the same material again, although this time it should only take you 20-30 minutes. Notice that the knowledge level is higher than the the first period (and reached faster), and that the data loss rate has a shallower gradient (it takes longer to forget what you’ve learned).
4pm: Re-study same material again, this time for 10-15 minutes. Knowledge peak is even higher and gradient of loss even shallower. (In between these study times, you can be studying other subjects using the same method.)
9pm: Just before bed, review the material one more time for about 5-10 mins. Note peak and gradient (appealing, isn’t it!).  Compare where you are now with where you would be if you only studied the subject for one long period. Where would that red line be? Preachers, imagine what this could do for your eye-contact!
And if you want to seal it for good, do a quick 5-minute review first thing the next morning before studying new material. That will really set the mental concrete.


One Way of Love

Robert Browning (1812–89)




ALL June I bound the rose in sheaves.
Now, rose by rose, I strip the leaves
And strow them where Pauline may pass.
She will not turn aside? Alas!
Let them lie. Suppose they die?
The chance was they might take her eye.

How many a month I strove to suit
These stubborn fingers to the lute!
To-day I venture all I know.
She will not hear my music? So!
Break the string; fold music’s wing:
Suppose Pauline had bade me sing!

My whole life long I learn’d to love.
This hour my utmost art I prove
And speak my passion—heaven or hell?
She will not give me heaven? ’T is well!
Lose who may—I still can say,
Those who win heaven, bless’d are they!

10 Ways of Developing Love for Allah (SWT)

Adapted from Shaykh Ibn Qayyim�s (rah) Madarij-us-Saalikeen
Shaykh Ibn al-Qayyim (rah) says: �The reason which cause mahabbah (love) of Allaah to develop, are ten:
First: Reciting the Qur�aan, reflecting and understanding its meaning and its intent.
Second: Drawing closer to Allaah � the Most High � through optional deeds, after fulfilling the obligatory duties.
Third: Being continuous in the dhikr (remembrance) of Allaah, with the tongue, the heart and the limbs � under all circumstances. The more continuant the dhikr, the more muhabbah develops and intensifies.
Fourth: Giving precedence to what Allaah loves over personal loves, when being overcome by desires.
Fifth: Contemplating and deliberating over the Names and Attributes of Allaah.
Sixth: Recognizing and remembering the favors and bounties of Allaah � both manifest and hidden.
Seventh: To be humble and submissive before Allaah � and this is the greatest matter.
Eighth: To be in seclusion reciting the Qur�aan, during that time in which Allaah descends to the lowest heaven (which is the last third of every night), finishing this recitation with seeking Allaah�s forgiveness and repenting to Him.
Ninth: To sit in the gatherings of the true and sincere lovers of Allaah, reaping the fruits of their speech, and not to speak except if there is benefit in it and that you know that such talk will increase you in goodness and that it will benefit others as well.
Tenth: To stay clear of all those causes which distances the heart from Allaah � the Mighty and Majestic.
So these are the ten reasons which cause the person to develop true love for Allaah and to reach the rank of al-muhabbah, by which he reaches his Beloved.
