How Do Colors Affect Our Life?
Whether or not we realize it, we are all affected by the colors that surround us. When we pick out the colors of our home or office furniture, our choice of colurs reflect our mood and personality. As such, choosing the right colors for furniture or wall paints can positively influence the moods of friends and family alike. So,choose wisely. Below is a color guide to help you make the right choice.
RED...
Red stimulates our nervous system and increases assertiveness. Reds make us feel empowered and energetic. they are great for areas where physical activity is happening, like a workout room. Do you have trouble getting out of bed in the morning? Paint your bedroom red and you'll jump out bed. Red seen in the aura indicates passion, courage, enthusiam, and excitement.
ORANGE...
Orange is also stimulating. Red and orange also increase the appetite. This is why these colors are so popular in restaurants and especially fast food restaurants. When these colors are present, not only are you hungry and want to eat a lot, but your nervous system is also stimulated so that you want to get out of there quickly.
Orange is a great color for a dining room as it helps people loosen up and laugh more. Around orange, people are usually more gregarious, this perhaps is why designers for the Oprah Winfrey talk show picked orange and color as the dominating theme for the set on Oprah's show. In an orange dining room, dinner parties will last longer and seem more interesting. Orange seen in the aura indicates energy, optimism, and positive thoughts
PINK...
Pinks offer a sense of well being and make people feel affectionate and positive toward others. Pink was once the staple of little girls bedrooms, but new shades of rose, mauve and blush have become popular choices in carpets, furniture and social areas like living rooms. A light shade of pink can be used as a neutral background much like a gray. Pink seen in the aura indicates friendship, affection, devotion, and tenderness.
YELLOW...
Yellows remind us of the sun. They make a dark room appear to be bright and cheery. Yellow can visually expand the space in a small room, but pale yellow should be used in a small room or it can be overpowering. Yellow is terrific to brighten up a bedroom or a living room, especially when combined with royal blue. Yellow seen in the aura indicates luck, intelligence, and acadenic acheivement.
GREEN...
Greens are symbolic of gardens, meadows and forests. When we are surrounded by green, we feel calm, refreshed and at peace. Green is great for bedrooms, bathrooms and other areas where tranquility is desired. Green brings nature indoors, no matter where you live. It is also very helpful in cooling down a room that receives a lot of hot sunny weather. Green seen in the aura indicates money, prosperity, abundance, and a love of nature. Light Green indicates health, new beginnings, youthfulness.
BLUE...
Blue is the most popular color of choice by most people. It symbolizes relaxation, serenity and a deep peace. Blue in the home can be used to psychologically cool a home in a warm climate and combined with contrasts of yellow or gold, blue can brighten a home and its occupants moods almost instantly. Blue seen in the aura
indicates peace, calmness, communication, and intuition. Light Blue indicates spiritual and psychic development, and compassion.
PURPLE..
Purple is a deeply spiritual color and inspires awe and respect. When made lighter into lavender, it become comfortable and assuring. If you suffer from insomina, lavender is great in a bedroom, as it lowers blood pressure and relaxes the mind. Purple however is powerful and regal and makes a statement in any room. Small touches
of purple can affect the mood of the entire room, even a few throw pillows in this color will excite the room. Purple seen in the aura indicates intuitiveness, confidence, and spiritual advancement.
BROWN...
Browns symbolize down to earth features. Brown is stable, secure and supporting. The brown family includes beige and taupe and are great for neutral areas in the home like kitchens. A rust color in a kitchen with copper pots combined with green or blue is breathtaking and offers a calm and supportive feeling. Browns bring rooms
together, yet stay in the background. They neither activate nor pacify emotions, they cooperate with the other colors, serving to bring them to light. Brown can be considered the frame of a painting. Brown seen in the aura indicates stability, practicality, and acquiring land.

Credit Cards
Credit Cards are playing a vital role in our life. Almost every working adult would at least have one credit card. I think Credit Cards are no longer considered a luxury but more so a necessity as more and more shopping transactions are executed via a credit card.
One card company's slogan of "Don't Leave Home Without It" is never more true especially for travellers as they would need a credit card more than ever as credit cards are safer to have around than lugging all that cash. Also, lost credit cards can easily be replaced.
Have you got a credit card or would you like to apply for one or more? Check out CreditCardSearchEngine.com. This is the best website to compare and apply for credit cards. You can choose a card to suit your needs from the different categories they have to offer - Low Interest, Cash Back, Rewards, Airline miles, student, business, and credit cards for bad credit.

Who is the Smart One?
At social functions, it is the usual practice for everyone to crack jokes, some really funny ones, others not so funny. Some people simply have a knack for telling jokes, holding on to their poker face while everyone else was bursting at the seams. And some people really do have a whole collection of adult jokes but in front of children, they're not so appropriate. Here's one that is suitable for a general audience.
A young boy enters a barber shop and the barber whispers to his customer, "This is the dumbest kid in the world. Watch while I prove it to you."
The barber puts a dollar bill in one hand and two quarters in the other, then calls the boy over and asks, "Which do you want, son?"
The boy takes the quarters and leaves.
"What did I tell you?" said the barber. "That kid never learns!"
Later, when the customer leaves, he sees the same young boy coming out of the ice cream store. "Hey, son! May I ask you a question? Why did you take the quarters instead of the dollar bill?"
The boy licked his cone and replied, "Because the day I take the dollar, the game's over!"

Einstein spoke
Would you agree with Einstein? Who is Einstein?
According to Wikipedia, he was a German-born theoretical physicist widely known as one of the greatest physicists of all time.
At his birth, Einsteins's mother was reputedly frightened that her infant's head was so large and oddly shaped. Though the size of his head appeared to be less remarkable as he grew older, it's evident from photographs of Einstein that his head was disproportionately large for his body throughout his life. Because of Einstein's late speech development and his later childhood tendency to ignore any subject in school that bored him — instead focusing intensely only on what interested him — some observers at the time suggested that he might be "retarded", such as one of the Einstein family's housekeepers. He turned out to be a genius.
