Asteroid/Meteoroid/Meteor/Meteorite


 ASTEROID 

Asteroids are smaller than a planet, but they are larger than the pebble-sized objects we call meteoroids. Most asteroids in our solar system are found in the main asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter. But they can also hang out in other locations around the solar system. For example, some asteroids orbit the Sun in a path that takes them near Earth.


METEOROID 

A meteoroid is a small rock or particle of debris in our solar system. They range in size from dust to around 10 meters in diameter.

Pieces from asteroids break off and continue a path through space.


METEOR  

Aka "falling star", a meteoroid that burns up as it passes through the Earth’s atmosphere is known as a meteor. If you’ve ever looked up at the sky at night and seen a streak of light or "shooting star" what you are actually seeing is a meteor. That bright streak is not actually the rock, but rather the glowing hot air as the hot rock zips through the atmosphere.

How To Improve Your Professional Voice / Vocal Image

Introduction Humans are exceptional at making quick judgements.   People make very quick judgements about who you are within seconds of meeting.  What is a Vocal Image? The image that other people create in their minds as you open your mouth and speak.  It makes 50% of your first impression. Another 50% is contributed by your Visual Image. Visual image is your dress code combined with your body language and we all are somewhat aware of focusing on our visual image. People make judgements depending on your visual and vocal images about Who you are a person  How successful you are How confident do you look How friendly and trustworthy do you look You use your vocal image very dynamically when you are with your friends and sharing something that you are excited about. The problem arises when you use your professional or default voice, and then you start to sound like a "child asked to play an adult", serious, with no facial expressions, and monotonous. In this situation...

Mediocre Motivation V/S Training Your Subconscious Mind

Mediocre motivation pushes you towards mediocrity. I remember one of Sandeep Maheshwari's advice when he said to eat roasted ghee before sleeping to avoid overthinking. Avoid? Why Avoid?  Why can't it be reverted to Something good? I used to watch him a lot but now I don't, and to be more precise, I don't like to watch a lot of motivation spread around because it is a push towards mediocrity. Now I understand how a lot of #Motivators can never teach you to train your subconscious mind. 90-95% of the time you are doing what your subconscious mind wants you to do, and your subconscious mind is trained to mediocrity. So 90-95% of the time, you are constantly doing mediocre things and regretting them later on. You need to train your subconscious mind!! Here's how to do it. Stay with me, When is your subconscious mind most active? When you are about to sleep. Right? So, how can you train your mind when you are about to sleep? Sleep thinking about what you want to do, wha...

Refining Your Intentions

Reframing intentions to decide what is more important to accomplish as you have so many desires and all of those desires need actions to achieve. Doing what justifies your higher intentions is more meaningful rather doing something and realizing later on whether you did it right or not.  Being happy and being successful are two different things. Achievement of one can not lead to the accomplishment of the other and the joy of each other can not be interchanged. Success comes from external achievements whereas happiness comes from what is going on inside you when you are by yourself. Happiness alone can not lead to the fulfilment of life, success is necessary too. It is well said that if you want a peaceful life, you must be driven and focused on doing something meaningful for the outer world. Success requires refining your intentions and making strategies for their completion. Intentions can be money, power, fame, control, I and compassion, unity, integrity, community, and servic...
