GRAPHIC PICTUREI get hurt often. Very often. I almost never get hurt doing anything dangerous, i always get hurt when I least expect it.When i was a kid, all the boys in my neighborhood would meet up and wrestle. One day we were wrestling in my backyard, and I was taking on a rather heavy set child. I knocked him over, and he fell. Right onto me. Broke my arm.About a year later, I was playing a game of kickball in PE at school. I was standing in line waiting to kick, when a guy on my team made a home run. I jumped up and down, cheering, until I landed wrong, (on the floor of a carpeted gym) fell over backwards, and broke my arm.Another year goes by. I'm in PE class, playing a game of handball. I'm running backwards, when I suddenly realize that I'm going too fast. In a feeble attempt to slow down, I just gell over backwards. You guessed it, broke my arm.And now, the ultimate joke of an injury. My junior year of high school. I'm in charge of the front ensemble for the marching band. We are practicing in a room with tile floors. It's one of the first days of the season, so I've got a bunch of rowdy freshman running around and screaming. I had proven myself as a leader, and I was the adult in the situation. I jumped up on a regular, everyday chair, and shouted to get everyone's attention. I got it, and promptly felt the chair start to shift below me. Hoping to avoid disaster, I bailed and jumped off. Heard a snap, and I was lying on the floor, looking at a foot that was dangling backwards off my leg. After 3 surgeries on it, and a ton of other, I walk with a limp, can go upstairs but struggle coming down, and I set off metal detectors. Get wanded everywhere. It sucks. I have 12 screws, 2 plates, and a pin.Edit: Oops, forgot one. I used to spend a whole lot of time playing computer games, and I was constantly in a call with my buddies and fellow teammates. Because of how many people they were, the room was always open and pretty well everyone was always logged in, they just muted their microphone when they left their computer. It was around noon one day, and I had just finished lunch. I went and set back in my chair at my computer, (one of those rolling mechanics chairs) and put my headphones on. Immediately, there was a screech as my best friend screamed into the mic. It scared me so badly that i fell out of the chair backwards, (remember, no back) and broke my tailbone. Still cannot sit for more than about 3 hours without pain.Yeah.
The story of Harish Agarwal, founder of "Applerepairs" is interesting and inspiring.A school dropout, this man, with no formal education in computers runs Apple computer products repair shop. He has studied only till eighth standard but that didn't hamper him from climbing the ladder of success. From working in a electrical shop to starting a company of his own, he had to undergo lot of hardships. He had to discontinue his studies as his father lost his job and work as a small time worker in an electrical shop to support his family in Indore. He then joined a computer sales and service company and worked there for 5 years. His found his love for computer hardware then, which made him to buy a run-down computer of his own and took it apart. That he says, was his first lesson in repairing. He then got a job in a mobile repairing shop in Bangalore and there he learned to repair mobile phones and laptops. He, once came across an Apple laptop and his passion for Apple grew so deep that he spent his whole time and energy in studying their devices and found innovative ways of repairing them. Consequently, he set up an Apple repair centre in Koramangala in 2012 with Rs 2 lakh. He now has a staff strength of 18 trained graduates. His tech trick goes like this. Since Apple does not provide spare parts, his policy is to buy new Apple products, dismantle them and use the parts to repair customer's devices.For example, A MacBook whose showroom price is Rs 90,000 is available to him at the wholesaler’s price of Rs 65,000. Each part in this device such as the Logic Board is replaced at a cost of Rs 56,000 for the customer, LCD panel for Rs 30,000, keyboard panel for Rs 18,000, hard disc for Rs 12,500 and charger for Rs 6,500. If you add all these charges, it works to about Rs 1,10,000. So he gets a net profit of Rs 45,000 per product.In the last three years, Agarwal has built up a client base of 2000 customers. His firm has a turn-over of Rs 3 crore. He expects an investment of Rs 5 crore to expand his business to 50 pan-India centres. Source: The Indian Express (Publication)
Christian Republicans vs. Christian Democrats?
I'm a Christian. I'm also a Democrat. I believe that abortion should be legal because not every person believes in the sanctity of the life of the un-born. But on a moral level I believe abortion should only be used in cases of rape, incest, or life-threatening condition. However, I also believe you can't legislate morality. I believe in the use of capital punishment. But I believe it should only be used in the most extreme of cases, because as Thomas Jefferson once said, "It is better to set 100 guilty men free then to imprison one innocent man." I believe gays and lesbians should be allowed to be married. But I also believe that religious organizations which don't view homosexuality as a legitimate lifestyle (Christian, Jewish or Islamic organizations, or others, such as the Boys Scouts of America, which were founded on religious principles) should not be forced to recognize the marriage. It should only be used for certain legal (such as hospital visitation), financial (tax credits and inheritance rights) and governmental (census) purposes. I believe that any federal budget surplus should go to reducing the national debt rather than give tax cuts. I believe that if you're going to give tax cuts, they should go to the poor rather than the rich. Neither Republicans nor Democrats can claim to be the representative of the "Moral Majority" because every persons moral compass is different. You can't generalize about anyone's politics because every issue is different in itself.
