I used to have faith in God from my childhood days.But when I grown up and when I started to learn Science,mainly the evolution of Life,the earth,the universe,etc..it created a confusion in my mind...
Now,the confusion is whether I've to believe in God or not...
I used to think a lot while sitting alone,traveling,resting, dreaming about this fact...
Of course I believe that God doesn't exist..The reason is the belief in Big-Bang theory..According to it,the whole universe is formed as a result of a big bang or explosion..The reason for the explosion is due to the pressure exerted by some gases....
Again when i think how those gases were formed or when I think about the origin of the matter,it again make me think in terms of a Super natural power or God..
So again I believe in God
But still a question comes...If such a Supernatural power or God exist,then how come that power or God is created or what is the origin of that Super natural power or God??
This question is still not answered with convincing reasons...I have searched in internet..I have asked opinion to my elder Sister,who is my best friend, teacher & guide....
But I couldn't get a proper answer yet..
From the Internet,I got contradictory answers...All those answers were having a high degree of uncertainty...So I couldn't believe..Also my sister was helpless to clear my doubt...
Now I present this question before all of my friends including my best and good friends, teachers,cousins,relatives..I need your opinion on this...
Not only them anyone who wishes to share your thoughts can share...
So please put your opinion and comments about it only after thinking or only after realizing exactly about my question...I hope all those who love me would post a reply and wouldn't disappoint me
Thank you
Yours faithfully

How to Stay Happy at Work
How often do you get the Sunday evening blues? Every now and again, or every week without fail? If it’s the latter, maybe you should think about moving on… But lots of people find themselves in the situation where they’re not ready to move jobs just yet – perhaps because they’ve only been in the role a short time, or because they want to gain more experience. So if you find yourself in the situation where you’re in a job that is okay but not brilliant, or that you really need to see through for a period of time, what can you do to make it more interesting and - dare we say it – more fun?
Here are some suggestions:
Positive Thinking
Focus on the positives – what do you really like about your job (come on, there must be something)? How could you incorporate more of that into your working day? Remind yourself of the other positive aspects of your work – your friends and colleagues, for instance.
Challenge Yourself
Find new challenges. One of the reasons that we can get restless in our job is, quite simply, boredom. Think about ways in which you could make your role more interesting. Perhaps you could volunteer to mentor new staff, or spend some time every week shadowing people in other departments to get a broader perspective on the business? Discuss your ideas with your manager.
Flexible Working
Is there scope for you to work more flexibly? Working from home one day a week, for example, could give you more variety. This is not an excuse to get up late and lie around watching daytime TV, though – you’ll need to be able to show some output for your time away from the office! Again, discuss the options with your manager.
Learn More
If you feel you’re not being stimulated enough mentally, consider doing some training or a course that is work-related: it will give you new insights, help to keep you fresh, and will be a useful addition to your CV when you are ready to move on.
Network
Network more. If meeting new people is not already part of your role, find ways to incorporate it. Meeting people and getting fresh perspectives can help you to keep yourself interested and interesting. If there don’t seem to be many networking opportunities where you are, create some! Organize a team outing, or arrange for you and your colleagues to meet up with staff from another part of the company.
Have Some Fun
Inject a bit of fun into your workplace. That could be as simple as croissants on a Monday morning or a team drink on Friday afternoon. Or it could be a more structured social event. Your work colleagues don’t have to be your bosom buddies, but you’ll enjoy your working day much more if there’s a bit of banter and humour around. Just because your work is a serious business doesn’t mean you can’t have fun while you do it!
Improve Your Social Life
Make an effort to do more interesting things outside of work. If your working week consists of getting up in the morning, going to work, coming home, having dinner, slumping in front of the TV and then going to bed, your job is going to have a disproportionate impact on your overall mood. Try to fit a couple of social engagements into your week – a dancing class or an art exhibition, perhaps, or just a catch-up with friends you haven’t seen for a while. Having something to look forward to during the week will help to make it more bearable.
Prioritise Your Workload
If you find that your problem is you’re working such long hours that you don’t have time to have fun outside work, let alone in the office, you need to tackle this. Get used to prioritizing your workload – negotiate extensions to deadlines if necessary – and make yourself leave the office on time at least 3 nights a week. Most of us have periods when we’re extra-busy and end up working long hours, but if this is happening to you routinely, you need to get out of that rut.

Stop Smoking for Healthy Heart Later in Life
A new study
from Tel Aviv University says, smoking cessation significantly increases cardiac health
later in life.
The research found that quitting smoking after a heart attack has about the same positive effect as other major interventions such as lipid-lowering agents like statins or more invasive procedures.
"It's really the most broad and eye-opening study of its kind.
Smoking really decreases your life expectancy after a heart attack.
Those who have never smoked have a 43 percent lower risk of succumbing after a heart attack, compared to the persistent smoker," said Dr. Yariv Gerber of TAU's Sackler School
of Medicine.
However, even those with a history of smoking can see their risk sharply decline once they give up the habit.
"We found that people who quit smoking after their first heart attack had a 37 percent lower risk of dying from another, compared to those who continued to smoke," Dr. Gerber said.
In the study, the researchers looked at data that covered more than 1,500 patients, 65 years old or less, who were discharged from hospitals in 1992 and 1993 in central Israel, all after their first acute myocardial infarction.
At the time of their first heart attack, 27 percent of the men in the study had never smoked, some 20 percent reported being former smokers, while more than half admitted to being current smokers.
After leaving the hospital, the smokers attempted to quit. Among this group, 35 percent were able to abstain over the next decade or so.
