How to Answer Any Question You're Unsure About

Here is a very simple meditation technique that can help you find the answer to any lingering questions that have been been on your mind for some time. Whether you’re stuck at a fork in the road, unsure of what to do next, or have a deeper philosophical question to contemplate, the process works the same either way. Ready?

1. Get a pen and some blank paper. 

2. Find a quiet place where you will not be disturbed (yes, your phone counts as a disturbance too).

3. Get seated in a comfortable position, and begin doing several minutes of meditation. If you have a preferred style, go with it. If you’ve never done meditation before, just close your eyes and try to focus completely on your breathing. Any time your mind wanders (it will every few seconds), and you catch yourself daydreaming, refocus your attention on your breathing. If you’re having trouble concentrating, taking 5-10 really deep breaths can be very helpful.

4. When you reach a point where you feel calm and relaxed, open your eyes and write down the question that has been troubling you. Now, write down what you think the answer might be. It’s likely that you’ve spent some time thinking about this, and possibly overanalyzing it to the point of confusion, so it’s good to get all of that uncertainty out onto the page. 

5. Put down the pen, and close your eyes again. This time, visualize yourself out in the wilderness, sitting next to a flowing stream of water. Take the paper with the question you’ve asked, put it on a raft, and let it float away.

6. Shift your focus back to your breathing. Feel the uplifting sensation of having released your question out into the universe, being completely at peace with not needing to know the answer right now. 

7. After taking several deep breaths and getting back into a completely relaxed state, pick up the pen again and just start writing. The key is to not stop to analyze or think about what you want to write. Just put pen to paper right away and see what comes out. You may be delighted with what you discover.

Through the years, this practice has given me some mind-blowing insights. After a troubling breakup with an ex-girlfriend several years ago, I did this exercise and asked: 

“Is it possible for two people in a relationship to truly love one another without jealousy and game playing?” 

For the first part, where I wrote out what I thought the answer was, I ended up with a few paragraphs of frustrating analysis that did not give me much clarity. Then, I closed my eyes again and let the question go. When I opened them and grabbed the pen, this is what I wrote down:

“If you want someone to love you like family, you have to love and trust them like family.”

It hit the nail right on the head. It was like a mystical fortune cookie from another realm, arriving at just the right time. When we are completely immersed in our own problems, scratching, clawing, begging, and hoping for someone or something to save us from our troubled existence, sometimes all we need to do is take a step back and just be okay with not knowing where to go from here. To step away from the noise and the distractions, sit in silence, and let things fall into place as the dust settles. To have faith that when we are ready, the answer will emerge. It is only when we stop making ripples in the lake that the moon’s reflection can appear with crystal clarity.

CERN scientists searching for world‘s first webpage

For the European physicists who created the World Wide Web, preserving its history is as elusive as unlocking the mysteries of how the universe began. 

The scientists at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, known by its French acronym CERN, are searching for the first webpage. It was at CERN that Tim Berners-Lee invented the Web in 1990 as an unsanctioned project, using a NeXT computer that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs designed in the late 80s during his 12-year exile from the company. 

Dan Noyes oversees CERN's website and has taken on the project to uncover the world's first webpage. He says that no matter how much data they sort through, researchers may never make a clear-cut discovery of the original webpage because of the nature of how data is shared. 

"The concept of the earliest webpage is kind of strange," Noyes said. "It's not like a book. A book exists through time. Data gets overwritten and looped around. To some extent, it is futile." 

In April, CERN restored a 1992 copy of the first-ever website that Berners-Lee created to arrange CERN-related information. It was the earliest copy CERN could find at the time, and Noyes promised then to keep looking. 

After National Public Radio did a story on the search, a professor at University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill came forward with a 1991 version. Paul Jones met Berners-Lee during the British scientist's visit to the US for a conference in 1991, just a year after Berners-Lee invented the Web. Jones said Berners-Lee shared the page with the professor, who has transferred it from server to server through the years. A version remains on the internet today at an archive Jones runs, ibiblio. 

The page Jones received from Berners-Lee is locked in Jones' NeXT computer, behind a password that has long been forgotten. Forensic computer specialists are trying to extract the information to check time stamps and preserve the original coding used to generate the page. 

The webpage preserved by Jones is both familiar and quaint. There are no flashy graphics or video clips. Instead, it is a page of text on a white background with 19 hyperlinks. Some of the links, such as ones leading to information about CERN, have been updated and still work. On the other hand, a link to the phone numbers for CERN staffers is dead. 

Noyes said he'll keep searching for earlier versions of the page. Noyes said his project still has to sort through plenty of old disks and other data submitted following NPR's story. He suspects there will be a couple of pages to pop up that were created months before the version Jones has. 

The internet itself dates back to 1969, when computer scientists gathered in a lab at the University of California, Los Angeles to exchange data between two bulky computers. In the early days, the internet had email, message boards known as Usenet and online communities such as The WELL.

Berners-Lee was looking for ways to control computers remotely at CERN. His innovation was to combine the Internet with another concept that dates to the 1960s: hypertext, which is a way of presenting information nonsequentially. Although he never got the project formally approved, his boss suggested he quietly tinker with it anyway. Berners-Lee began writing the software for the Web in October 1990, got his browser working by mid-November and added editing features in December. He made the program available at CERN by Christmas. 

These days, many people see the internet and the Web as one and the same, even though the Web is just one of the many functions of the internet. Personal email tends to be conducted over web-based systems such as Yahoo and Google's Gmail. Web-based message boards have replaced the need for Usenet. Friendster, Myspace and later Facebook emerged as go-to places on the Web for hanging out. People now use the Web to find dates, watch television shows, catch up on the news, pay bills and play games. Many more services are still being invented. 

In less than a quarter century, the web has turned into an easy way to retrieve data on just about any topic from just about any computer in the world with just the click of a link. It has become the equivalent of millions of libraries at the fingertips of anyone with a Web browser and a network connection. The resources have made it far more difficult for authoritarian regimes to keep information from their citizens. 

Berners-Lee's office was a few corridors down from Noyes at CERN's headquarters in Geneva. Nearby is a plaque honoring him for his innovation. Noyes recently brought his 14-year-old son and showed it to him. 

"For him, it was a concept that doesn't make any sense," Noyes said. "It's no fault of his own, but he can't imagine the world without the Web." 

Attempts to reach Berners-Lee through CERN were unsuccessful. 

That's part of why Noyes believes it is important to round up the World Wide Web's history. He said it represents the best of how science and free governments can make the world a better place. And the quest for the first Web page reminds him of CERN's main goal - seeking answers about the universe using tools such as the $10 billion Large Hadron Collider, where high-energy beams of protons are sent crashing into each other at incredible speeds. 

"We're looking at the origins of the universe. Origins are intrinsically exciting," Noyes said. 

Jones takes pride in his small part in Internet history, too. He understands the pull of trying to find the first Web page even if it doesn't make much sense. After all, even the simplest page created by a blogging novice today is richer and has more depth than those Web pages more than two decades ago. He likens it to why millions of people go to Europe to see original paintings of The Scream or the Mona Lisa when they can see replicas with almost no effort at all. 

"No matter how perfectly you can reproduce something, like The Scream or the Mona Lisa, we have a fetish for the original," Jones said. "The more you see the derivative, the more you want to see the original."

Meahh....

Hiii guys this is RABs....z

Friendship isn’t about…whom you have known the Longest….who came 1st or who Cares the Best…Its all about Who came and Never Left.

I take lot of time to adjust with anybody..might be a drawback of me.
I don’t underestimate anyone.
Misunderstanding has played appreciably great strocks in my life and I am crazier than that, because I enjoy it.

I love to live with my friends and for friendship I don’t consider their any previous achievements. I love all those who feel comfortable with me and who make me feel comfortable with them…
And I never ever go behind any person who don’t like my attitude and don’t want to be my friend..
I believe in GOD..I am optimistic.I am Moody.
I always think positive–> Which have never helped me to achieve anything, but still it has become a habit.
I forgive people soon, as I feel this life as too short and have no time to keep on proving others as wrong and we the only perfect!

I love innovative things.
I love to be Honest.
