Teenvibes: A Positive Paradigm (Son of King Louis XVI of France)

A Positive Paradigm (Son of King Louis XVI of France)

   King Louis had been taken from his throne and imprisoned. His young son, the prince, was taken by those who dethroned the king. They thought that inasmuch as the king's son was heir to the throne, it they would destroy him morally, he would never realize the great and grand destiny that life had bestowed upon him.
   They took him to a community far away, and there they exposed the lad to every filthy and vile things that life could offer. They exposed him to foods the richness of which would quickly make him a slave to appetite. They exposed him to lewd and lusting women. They used vile language around him constantly. They exposed him to dishonor and distrust. He was surrounded 24 hours a day by every thing that could drag a man as low as he could slip. For over six months he had this treatment, but not once did the young lad buckle under pressure.
   Finally, after intensive temptation, they questioned him. Why had he not submitted himself to these things- why had he not partaken? These things would provide pleasure, satisfy his lusts, and were desirable, they were all his. the boy said, "I cannot do what you ask for I was born king."
   Teens, what do you think of  this?

10 Reasons to have a Good Laugh

'Laughter is the best medicine': we're always being told that, but there's actually more to a good giggle than just raising our spirits for a couple of minutes.

Research shows that while children laugh up to 400 times a day, adults do it only 17 times a day, on average.
In fact, laughter therapy is a big deal and can improve your health in lots of different ways. Just check out these 10 benefits of chuckling...

1. Laughter boosts your immune system

Researchers have found that laughter actually boosts the immune system, increasing the number of antibody-producing T cells. This then makes us less likely to get coughs and colds. It also lowers the levels of at least four hormones that are associated with stress, so after a good giggle you should be far less tense and anxious.

2. Laughter relieves pain

A good chortle has been found to reduce pain. Not only does it distract you from aches, but it releases feel good endorphins into your system that are more powerful than the same amount of morphine.

3. Laughter improves your social life

If you can make people laugh, then you're likely to have more friends, because everyone loves a joker. You're also likely to achieve more at work: if you have a good sense of humour you'll be more productive, a better communicator and team player.

In fact, most things we laugh at aren't necessarily actual jokes, but comments in everyday conversation. Laughter is as much about social relationships as it is about humour.

4. Laughter helps relieve depression

Laughter has long been known to help people who are suffering from the either SAD or full-blown depression. Laughing reduces tension and stress, and lowers anxiety and irritation, which are all major factors that contribute to the blues.

5. Laughter boosts your relationship

If you're looking to find a new partner, then laughter will help you find a new mate. Men love women who laugh in their presence and women actually laugh 125% more than men.

And if you're already with someone, then a shared sense of humour is an important factor in keeping your relationship running smoothly.

6. Laughter gives you a mini-work-out

We've probably all used, or at least heard, the phrase 'my sides ache' after laughing too much. Well, it's no real surprise. A good belly laugh exercises the diaphragm, contracts your abdominal muscles and also works your shoulders. This will make you feel a lot more relaxed.

In fact, laughing 100 times is the equivalent to 10 minutes on the rowing machine or 15 minutes on an exercise bike, so break out those Only Fools And Horses DVDs and start watching!

7. Laughter protects your heart

According to a study by heart specialists at the University of Maryland, people with heart disease were 40% less likely to laugh in a variety of situations compared to people of the same age without heart disease.

Laughter has been found to benefit the way blood flows around the body, reducing the likelihood of heart disease. The research said that 15 minutes of laughter a day is as important for your heart as 30 minutes of exercise 3 times a week!

 8. Laughter lowers your blood pressure

People who laugh a lot on a regular basis have lower blood pressure than the average person. When people have a good laugh, the blood pressure increases at first, but then it decreases to levels below normal.

Breathing then becomes deeper and this helps to send oxygen-rich blood and nutrients throughout the body.

9. Laughter improves your breathing

Laughter empties your lungs of more air than it takes in resulting in a cleansing effect - similar to deep breathing. This is especially helpful for people who are suffering from respiratory ailments, such as asthma.

10. Laughter helps you lose weight

Burning off calories by laughing might not sound as if it has much use, but a hearty chuckle raises the heart rate and speeds up the metabolism.

If you're dieting, think about adding laughter to your exercise regime. A good sitcom might easily keep you laughing for 20 minutes or more.

There’s nothing that beats having a good laugh. I can’t go a day without it. I’m not saying that you should have a good laugh at the expense of someone’s reputation. You know, they are naïve, foolish and human like the rest of us. Ain’t make any sense doing something as such. Staying young is a state of mind: laughter puts you there!

10 Better WaysTo Effectively Manage your Time As A Teen

First of all, just try saying that title as fast you can repeatedly.
If you are doing that right now, then you really need this post to help you with your time!
Yesterday, I was interviewed by a writer who was working on an article for a national magazine about helping students better manage their time.  We talked about a lot of different thoughts and ideas, but I thought I would share with you 10 tips to get you going with time management…

1.                    1.)  Learn To Say No – Most of us are people pleasers who hate disappointing others.  So we say “yes” more than we should and end up taking on more than we can handle.  What’s one thing you need to say ‘NO’ to this week

2.                  2.)   You Can’t Be Liked By Everybody – If you start saying “no” to invites, requests, or opportunities,  people    may initially be offended.  Realize in your mind you’re going to let others down (this guy is not very motivational!).  Is it more important to be liked or respected?

3. Have An Outlet – In your car, you’ve got a gauge that goes from an ‘F’ to an ‘E’.  When it gets to an ‘E’, you go refill, recharge, and reconnect so you can continue on your journey.  What do you like to do for fun that gives you life?

4. Keep Track Of Your Time – Have you ever noticed that it’s possible to be really, really busy and yet really, really unproductive?  For one week, write down what you do every single minute of the day and evaluate where your time is really going.  Are you really as busy as you think you are?

5. You Can’t Have It All – You can’t be quarterback of the football team, student body president, captain of the chess club, have a 4.0 GPA, be manager at McDonald’s, get into Harvard, and be Xbox champion of the world.  What do you need to sacrifice?

6. Determine What Matters Most – Until you answer the question of what matters most to you, then everything is important and nothing is important.  How do you know what to say ‘no’ to and what to say ‘yes’ to?  What matters most to you?

7. You Have A Capacity – You only have 24 hours in a day, 7 days a week.  You have a capacity.  You have limits.  You can’t do it all.  Stop trying.  What areas of your life are you trying to do too much?

8. You Must Have Margin – Have you noticed that they make the lanes a little bit wider than your car?  Why?  Because they’ve seen how some of you drive!  You need that margin.  You need that space in life that gives you some breathing room.  Do you have any margin in your life right now?

9. Have A System For You – Where do you keep your schedule?  Your to-do list?  Reminder notes?  You can use some type of technology such as a Smartphone, PDA, or Google tools.  Or you may just use good old fashioned paper and pen.  Just do what works for you.  What tools are you using to organize your life?

10. Be Proactive – Having a balanced life doesn’t just naturally happen.  It’s something you have to work at on a regular basis.  Take ownership for your life and pick out a few of these tips you can implement starting today.  What changes are you going to make in your life to better manage your time?

I’m not saying that everything is going to be perfect when you try them. But what I’m trying to say is there will be a life more than excellent for you if you decide to keep to these 10 can-do-it tips now in your hands!

The Four Greatest Teenage Tools

                                                                                                                                  My mind,
                                                                                                                                  The depth of my brain,
                                                                                                                                  This very minute.

 My Dear Younger Me,
                                     How da do? there is something very interesting I have to tell you. I just want  you to pay close attention to the details.
Calmness and peace brings to my study table in a very lonely room but filled with life.Like, life seems to radiate from me to the whole room. Beauty has been appreciated and the reward is received. It is time I write to my younger me, and tell him the facts that seems to be so common, yet so rare.
  These past few years of mine which to you are your future years, I've watched us live life on the edge, being the procrastinator, the "Yes-man" and the lazy slug all in one. I have seen you think of the exceptional things you are planning to do but as I write here, my mind is void of answers. I have seen the project unfinished, the ideas unthought, laundry undone, meal uncooked, promises broken, obligations of which there was no devotion to, and love unshared. I've thought of the past which to you is your future , how it has shaped my present and its outcome on my uncertain future.
   I'm ahead of you right here to tell you about things that have gone wrong and how you can make the necessary corrections before it also becomes too late for you.
  A friend of mine who will also become your friend, Abdulkareem once told me that the world was waiting for me to take up my little idea, fire it up with hardwork and drive it with the passion to make a difference and touch lives. Another friend of mine, also told me that there's more to life than ten billion dollars!
My younger me, everyday is a new day to stand up and run your own race, get the gift and move on with a re-branded self. I want to make you aware of the four greatest teenage tools which I discovered late but if you work with it from your own now, you won't have no cause to regret like me..
here they come:
1.) Self-awareness (the teen's tape-rule)
You have to stand apart from your self and observe your thoughts and actions. This will help you measure how far it is from where you start to where you presently are.

2.) Conscience (the teen's compass)
I underestimated the power of this one which you shouldn't try at all because it might equal a grievous mistake. You need to start feeling the feeling to know what is right and what is wrong. In us lies a great fount of wisdom.This tool helps you form very well the concentric circles of life. Your values, your beliefs, your expectations and finally your actions.


3.) Imagination (the teen's painting set)
My younger Me, you need to start envisioning new possibilities, broadening your horizon of knowledge and widening the circle of your experience and friends. Imagine positively and dare to do what you think. You have to create your own style and fully establish your uniqueness.

4.) Will-power (the teen's hammer)
You have to hit the nail on the head when making your decisions and sticking to the plan. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing. the spirit is willing because you possess will-power. This tool will give you the ability to choose wisely and be firm with your core. life is all about choices.

Simple as it sounds, they are the greatest tools you can ever think of . Three can't work if one is absent. Try it in everything you do. Remember, little steps,. . ., giant strides. Big things start small. but keep to what you do with a clean heart. your duty is to your heart. Changing the world requires you changing yourself first! This is simple. This is bare. This is pure. You are the Winning Teen!
