    The event in a nut shell was the odyssey that began by taking one into the magic land of fluttering butterflies, magic trees (that speak), smiling flowers and bugs. This further took you to the odyssey’s next stop which is a sandy sea-coast, where a storm threatened to disrupt the holiday mood. However, a Beatles immortal “yellow submarine”, beckons all to the aquamarine depth of the sea, threatened by an empowering octopus. It was a celebration of unity as the danger is brushed aside and the odyssey shifts to tribal land.

  • Personal Development Goals : Topic Of The Month Important

    Personal Development Goals : Topic Of The Month Important

    It is very important to have your own personal development goals because this enables you to think of the future in a positive and constructive way. If you are feeling depressed, the future can be the last topic that you would want to think about but it is proven to make any sufferer feel a lot better.

    Making goals help you realize what is really important to you and how you wish to spend your time.

    When a person feels depressed, they are aware that they are wasting a lot of time by not doing anything but are unsure of how to bring themselves out of the mood. Writing down ideas and writing plans helps to mentally prepare and motivates a sufferer to start building a new a life.

    Feeling depressed can prevent you from living your life the way that you would like to. The lack of motivation and loss of interest are things that can stop you from taking control of your life.

    Symptoms of depression which can put a stop to your life:

    * Rejection *Anger * Frustration * Loneliness * Fear of failure *Humiliation * Guilt.

    If you have experienced rejection or have failed on certain things in the past, does not mean that you will continue to fail in the future. The experiences may have left you feeling humiliated and frustrated and you will automatically doubt your own abilities and possibly give up altogether. It is a good idea to make a list of goals that you wish to achieve and set deadlines. Your plans could be anything from planning to spend more time with friends, saving money, joining an evening class or losing weight. The important thing is that when you achieve these goals, you will start to feel better immediately. When you are deciding on what goals you are going to achieve, you must be realistic, for example, you cant aim to lose three stone in one month, you will only feel disappointed and frustrated. It is a good idea to keep your goals to a minimum for a certain amount of time so that you can concentrate on them, this is more effective than having twenty goals which you will struggle to achieve all at the same time. When you achieve your personal goals, your confidence will have a great boost and you can feel energized as you begin to take control of your own life again.

    It is also a very good idea to try and imagine where you would like to be this time next year. You may not be a millionaire by this time next year but achieving your own personal goals during that time can make you feel just as happy.

    You can really go into detail and imagine who you are with? What you look like? Have you been promoted in your job? Are you still a smoker? Do you still swear? Have you finally organized and thrown out all of your clutter in your home? Everybody is aware of their own habits and personal opinions that can make you feel down about themselves, therefore picturing yourself in a different way can really make you decide on what you would like to change in your own life that you secretly know would be for the best.

    Having personal development goals help you become the person who you want to be.

  • Heidelberg University Germany : The Oldest University of the World

    Heidelberg University Germany : The Oldest University of the World

    Best known as home to Germany’s oldest university, founded in 1386, Heidelberg has many other historic attractions.

    Chief among them is its Castle, perched on a hillside and overlooking the Neckar River Valley. A partially destroyed medieval fortress, it’s touted as Germany’s largest, most picturesque ruin.

    Open for tours and accessible by a modern funicular from town, the castle houses the largest wine barrel in the world, with a capacity of about 222,000 liters.

    I stood on top of it, then headed to the castle terrace for the awe-inspiring views that help give Heidelberg a reputation for beauty and romance.

    More postcard views are found along the Alte Brucke (Old Bridge), immortalized in numerous poems and paintings.

    Our tour guide, an American living in Heidelberg, told us that Thomas Jefferson, while serving as U.S. ambassador to France, walked across the Alte Brucke to christen it when it was completed in 1788.

    A less frequented Heidelberg gem, but worth a visit, is the Benedictine Monastery Neuberg, about a 40-minute walk from town, or less by riverboat taxi.

    Founded in 1130, the monastery is still active today and offers tours of the grounds and its Klosterhof brewery. Visitors are also welcome at 5:15 morning Prayer and chanting of psalms.

    Klosterhof Newberg brews unpasteurized, bio beers in the monastic tradition and ages the beer in whiskey barrels.

    We cleared our palates between samples with the delicious regional specialty bretzel – a cross between baguette and pretzel.

    Later, we enjoyed a traditional abbey lunch of soup, salad and fresh baked bread in the Klosterhof restaurant.

    Near the monastery, a scenic hillside path called Philosophers’ Walk has inspired many scholars with its terrace gardens and peaceful landscaped nooks. Who could resist a stroll on such a path of intellectual inspiration?

    From the mind to the heart, Heidelberg has it all covered.

    In 1863, the city’s best known chocolatier, Herr Knowles, created a candy known as the Student’s Kiss, a token for university students to give to the young ladies in finishing school whom they wished to court.

    The chocolate is still made in the family tradition at the original confectionary, owned by a great granddaughter of Knowles.

    A sweet ending to a delightful visit.
