Why is Silence Important in Life?

Image
          Mother Teresa-God speaks in the silence of the heart. Listening is the beginning of prayer. Silence is a source of great strength. Silence increases the power of the mind. There is no fear, anger, worry, or anxiety of any kind in a powerful mind. Practicing silence ends all kinds of mental disorders and can enhance all aspects of sleep. In silence, the mind becomes calm, comfortable, and fertile. That is also the time when the mind imbibes creative thoughts.

If a fact is repeated over and over again, it becomes true - this idea is the basic element of advertising. They are an important tool for marketing. To some extent, we can say, advertisements provide true information to the viewers.

The aim is to educate the consumer, help them make a view and analyze the need of it. Ads also draw our attention towards right and wrong.

A  smile   spurs a powerful chemical reaction in the brain that  can make you feel happier . When you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress. Then other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins come into play too. Endorphins act as a mild pain reliever, whereas serotonin is an antidepressant. Indeed, in the human world, a smile serves to be a universal language that connects people of all cultures and civilizations. No matter where you go in the world, a kind and open smile paves the way for making new friends and brightening everyone's day. Even wh
