What is Guillain-Barre syndrome(GB- Syndrome) "

Introduction
Guillain-Barre syndrome is an uncommon inflammatory disorder in which your body's immune system attacks your nerves, typically causing severe weakness and numbness that usually starts in your extremities and quickly worsens. Eventually your whole body can become paralyzed, even the muscles used for breathing.

The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown, but it sometimes is triggered by a respiratory infection or the stomach flu. Luckily, this potentially deadly disorder is relatively rare, occurring worldwide in only one or two people per 100,000. All age groups can be affected, but it occurs most often in young adults and the elderly.

In its most severe form, Guillain-Barre syndrome is a medical emergency requiring hospitalization. About 30 percent of the people who have the disorder will temporarily need the help of a machine to breathe.

There is no cure for the disorder, but several treatments can ease symptoms and reduce the duration of the illness. Most people recover completely from even the most severe cases of Guillain-Barre syndrome.

Nerve and myelin sheath

Guillain-Barre syndrome destroys the protective covering of the peripheral nerves (myelin sheath), disabling the nerves from transmitting signals to the muscles

Good Manners Are Key to Your Success

Do you like people who are rude to you? Do you mind if someone interrupts you? Are you happy when people ignore you?
Of course not. No one likes bad manners.
People with bad manners are rejected. They do not get the good jobs or the promotions. Their businesses do not succeed.
People with good manners are accepted. They are liked and supported. They have more friends, luck and success.
"In a culture, manners are the lubrication that ease the frictions of social contacts." -- L. Ron Hubbard
When you improve your manners, you improve your chances for success.
12 Examples of Good Manners

1. Be polite to everyone you meet. You will never regret being too polite, but you might regret being rude. For example, when you go on a sales call or job interview, be courteous to receptionists and assistants as they can affect your chances of succeeding.

2. Use the magic words as often as possible: "Hello," "Please," "Excuse me," "Sorry" and these two most important words: "Thank you."

3. Use good manners in all of your communications. Examples:
Return telephone and e-mail messages within 24 hours.
Do not use swear words or vulgar words.
If you receive a rude message, do not respond with rudeness, but be polite.
Do not interrupt people.
Make sure people are ready to listen to you before you start talking.
Talk less than 50% of the time.

4. Leave generous tips for food servers, luggage handlers, auto valets, hairdressers or barbers who do their jobs.

5. Use good manners as a driver. Weaving in and out of heavy traffic and cutting in front of other cars only gains you a few seconds of time. If you are courteous, patient and calm, you arrive safely and more relaxed.

6. Do not blow your nose, use toothpicks or perform other bodily activities in front of guests or people you respect. Never smoke around a non-smoker.

7. Show your appreciation at every opportunity, even for small things. "Thank you for returning my call." "Your advice has been very helpful." "I appreciate your taking the time to meet with me."

8. Arrive on time or early for appointments. When you arrive late, you appear to be disrespectful, disorganized or both.

9. A good sense of humor is good manners. However, avoid jokes about race, disability, sex and so on. Tell clean jokes about yourself or pass on humorous stories that anyone would enjoy.

10. If someone treats you with bad manners, do not lower yourself to the same level. Smooth out the friction with your best manners. For example, "I'm sure you have a good reason to swear at me, but I think we can work this out so we're both happy. Can you take a minute and try?"

11. Before starting important conversations, meals or meetings, turn off your cell phone. Ignoring people while you chat on your cell phone is disrespectful. You can probably leave your cell phone off for hours with no lasting harm.

12. Do not try to show off or prove you are more important than others. This is called "one-upmanship" and is poor manners. For example, a friend is excited about meeting an important scientist. You immediately "top" him and tell about the time when you met a much more important scientist. Instead, share your friend's excitement without bringing up your own story.

As you improve your manners, you will enjoy more support, admiration and respect from everyone around you.

it was just yesterday...

Day before yesterday i was born...
I saw a lovely world

My life is so incomplete...

Life is a lovers dream, a sweet memory that stay afresh forever and ever without growing old by a single day... This is a poem written by Moon, for all the lovers to dance in the memory of their lovers...

Dedicated to true lovers (if there’s any…)

When you are not here to share my days and nights,

My life is so incomplete.

For you are my heart, my soul,

The ‘oneness’ I had known to seek.

Without you I merely exist from day to day,

With you I know that I will find.

All that I have been searching for

My completeness, my eternal peace of mind.

You are the keeper of my dreams

The man who holds my heart in his hands

The one I want to spend my life with

The one with whom I always stand.

Stand beside thru thick and thin

Thru all that life will throw our way

Knowing that this special love we share

Will guide us each and every day.

This journey was started long ago

Before this time and place

The journey of completeness

As two heart and souls embrace.

Forever is what I want with you

For the search is at an end

Our hearts have found each other

As lovers, as soul mates, as friends…

HOW TO TAKE `SPOKEN` WORDS BACK !!

Communication Recovery – Six Step Model

Have you ever said something unintentionally offensive & wished you could take it back? You know how awkward it feels when communication goes awry - it does very often. Even with the best of intent to be correct, you say things biased or objectionable. You may ignore it & hope no one notices. (It does get, for sure!) Or, you can employ a strategy for recovery.

“Communication Recovery” involves accepting your mistake, sincerely apologizing, & then moving on in a more positive way. This skill is underutilized. When things go wrong in communication, many shy away from trying to recover, are afraid things may become worse, don’t know what to do. The good news is Communication Recovery is possible, not difficult to do, & has a big payoff.

Communication Recovery allows you to acknowledge mistake – when you have unintentionally demeaned, discounted, or hurt others. Gives you a chance to rebuild communication with listener(s) & enhance credibility. The process includes 6 quick steps & takes 30 seconds or less. It is painless.

1. Accept the Feedback – Give some sign that you are open to input - listening & thanking the listner.

2. Acknowledge Intent & Impact – most important thing is to recognize negative impact of your statement or behavior on the listner, regardless of your good intent.

3. Apologize – Say “I’m sorry” or “I apologize,” and do so sincerely.

4. Ask Questions for Clarification – If you don’t understand the feedback you’re given, ask questions for greater clarity.

5. Adjust/Change – State/demonstrate what you will do differently, clear sign you’ve accepted the feedback & not to repeat offense.

6. Move Forward – Recovery is a quick process. You don’t need to linger. Move on once the listener is ready.

Of these, Acceptance of feedback & apologizing is most powerful. In its simplest form, recovery sounds like this:“Thanks for telling me. I’m sorry.”
