My priorities in life


Its been some time since I opened this blog and blogged about entertainment news, jokes and many more but I did not have the time to write my own article in this blog. Yes, being alone in a foreign land makes us wonder about all the good things that we missed to give our priority upon.It goes along with the saying that you will not appreciate something until you lost it.Yes,I have to really go down with that.

Let me explain what are the top priorities in life that every person should have.I read this article from internet that actually struck my mind to think the priorities in our lives. In an era that tells us to keep rushing, from the time we are children until cruising through the milestones of life, it’s hard to keep our priorities straight.


In order to properly prioritize our lives, we need to take a step back and reassess where we are investing your time and energy. Alongside this, in my opinion, it becomes quite beneficial to keep ourselves accountable for every single decision we make.

At this point in my life, I feel that it makes most sense to prioritize ourselves in this order.

1. Health
2. Relationships
3. Career and Purpose
4. Fun & Satisfaction

Health-keeping ourselves fit and in shape is very important.Physical exercises such as cardiovascular trainings, football, basketball, swimming and so on are crucial recipes of a healthy body that ensures sharper mind and happier life. Regular schedules of sleeping and eating should be maintained.More than anything, do not be so obsessed over your health. Moderate exercises should be followed and enjoyed.It reminds me of this quote by Josh Billings,“There’s lots of people who spend so much time watching their health, they haven’t got time to enjoy it.”


Relationships-Family, friends, and people that we care about seem to be a logical secondary life priority after we take care of ourselves. In fact, studies have shown that people who show regular compassion or generosity to others are more likely to be happy and satisfied with their own life goals and accomplishments. Maintaining positive relationships with the people we love is vitally important to a balanced life. Ultimately, though, do not spend too much time on people we do not care about, or people that always let us down. This sounds harsh, but such actions will only negatively impact our health and relationships overall.Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.


Career and Purpose -Rather than getting caught up in the crazy speed and confusion of the modern world, we need to challenge ourselves to make decisions according WHO and WHAT we want to be.At all costs, we should not remain stagnant or hesitant for too long. We can only learn more about ourselves, and more about our purpose, by moving around and trying various things.It is a fascinating and inspiring rundown about life purpose we should check out.

Michael Jordan once said that, “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”


Fun & Satisfaction - Don’t live for tomorrow, live for today. Enjoy life. Pleasure is so important and brings the cycle of life priorities back to our own personal health and well-being.Have fun with people, marvel at the beauty of the natural world, listen to music, develop your hobbies, travel, and play around with the idea of satisfaction.

“Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery.And today?Today is a gift.That’s why we call it the present.


I hope all of us can get our priorities right and be the best that we can be in our daily lives.

7 dumbest deaths recorded in history


Attila the Hun:
One of the most notorious villains in history, Attila’s army had conquered all of Asia by 450 AD-from Mongolia to the edge of the Russian Empire-by destroying villages and pillaging the countryside.
How he died: He got a nosebleed on his wedding night.
In 453 AD, Attila married a young girl named Ildico. Despite his reputation for ferocity on the battlefield, he tended to eat and drink lightly during large banquets. On his wedding night, however, he really cut loose, gorging himself on food and drink. During the night he suffered a nosebleed, but was too drunk to notice. He drowned in his own blood and was found dead the next morning.


Tycho Brahe:
An important Danish astronomer of the 16th century. His ground breaking research allowed Sir Isaac Newton to come up with the theory of gravity.
How he died: Didn’t get to the bathroom in time.
In the 16th century, it was considered an insult to leave a banquet table before the meal was over. Brahe, known to drink excessively, had a bladder condition-but failed to relieve himself before the banquet started. He made matters worse by drinking too much at dinner, and was too polite to ask to be excused. His bladder finally burst, killing him slowly and painfully over the next 11 days.


Horace Wells:
Pioneered the use of anesthesia in the 1840s
How he died: Used anesthetics to commit suicide.
While experimenting with various gases during his anesthesia research, Wells became addicted to chloroform. In 1848 he was arrested for spraying two women with sulfuric acid. In a letter he wrote from jail, he blamed chloroform for his problems, claiming that he’d gotten high before the attack. Four days later he was found dead in his cell. He’d anaesthetized himself with chloroform and slashed open his thigh with a razor.


Francis Bacon:
One of the most influential minds of the late 16th century. A statesman, a philosopher, a writer, and a scientist, he was even rumored to have written some of Shakespeare’s plays.
How he died: Stuffing snow into a chicken
One afternoon in 1625, Bacon was watching a snowstorm and was struck by the wondrous notion that maybe snow could be used to preserve meat in the same way that salt was used. Determined to find out, he purchased a chicken from a nearby village, killed it, and then, standing outside in the snow, attempted to stuff the chicken full of snow to freeze it. The chicken never froze, but Bacon did.


Jerome Irving Rodale:
Founding father of the organic food movement, creator of “Organic Farming and Gardening” magazine, and founder of Rodale Press, a major publishing corporation.
How he died: On the “Dick Cavett Show”, while discussing the benefits of organic foods.
Rodale, who bragged “I’m going to live to be 100 unless I’m run down by a sugar-crazed taxi driver,” was only 72 when he appeared on the “Dick Cavett Show” in January 1971. Part way through the interview, he dropped dead in his chair. Cause of death: heart attack. The show was never aired.


Aeschylus:
A Greek playwright back in 500 BC. Many historians consider him the father of Greek tragedies.
How he died: An eagle dropped a tortoise on his head
According to legend, eagles picked up tortoises and attempt to crack them open by dropping them on rocks. An eagle mistook Aeschylus’ head for a rock (he was bald) and dropped it on him instead.


Jim Fixx:
Author of the best selling “Complete Book of Running,” which started the jogging craze of the 1970s.
How he died: A heart attack….while jogging
Fixx was visiting Greensboro, Vermont when he walked out of his house and began jogging. He’d only gone a short distance when he had a massive coronary. His autopsy revealed that one of his coronary arteries was 99% clogged, another was 80% obstructed, and a third was 70% blocked….and that Fixx had had three other attacks in the weeks prior to his death.
