Importance of Patience: SLOWCOACH SUNFLOWER (a story about patience and obedience)
Just came across a very nice, brief story emphasizing the importance of patience. I wonder how if we exercise more paitence, how much better we can do in marriage, in education, in career or business and other areas of our life. It's worth reading....

There was once a teacher who gave his pupils some seeds so they could plant, and look after, their very own sunflower. One boy in the class, who loved sunflower seeds, was so excited that he planted the seed and looked after it with great care for many days.......

For complete story, check out:

Ebates - Save money when shopping
With the Black Friday and Christmas shopping season around the corner, the shopping season is in full swing. One of the ways to save is by means of sites like Ebates that give cash back on your purchases through the merchants affiliated with that site.

In order to get cash back, you need to be logged into your Ebates account, and then click the appropriate merchant's link such as that of Walmart. Once you click, you will be directed to that merchant's site and any purchases you make at that site during the session, you may qualify to get cash (or in some cases, coupons). If you are not a Ebates member, you can go to that site or you can join using my personal link below:

Mousepad not working
I have a Dell Latitude with Windows 7 laptop. Recently, my built-in mousepad stopped working and I needed to use an external mouse to do anything. The mousepad had been working and it's a new laptop, so I wasn't sure why it had stopped working all of a sudden. After a quick internet search, I realized that I had accidentally disabled the predefined mouse pad functionality. To restart the functionality, all I had to do was to press Function (Fn) and F5 keys simultaneously on my laptop. That did the trick and my laptop mousepad is working without any issues!

Weekend Quote - Mind
For man, mind is the cause of bondage and mind is the cause of liberation. Mind absorbed in sense objects is the cause of bondage and mind detached from sense objects is the cause of liberation. Therefore, the mind which is always engaged in Krsna consciousness is the cause of supreme liberation.

Weekend Quote - Devotional Service
Devotional service is available to everyone in all stages of life. Love knows no boundaries. It takes a faithful student to understand the Vedas and then be able to explain it to others. It may be a difficult task, but preaching is definitely worthwhile. There is nothing like serving the Supreme Lord, so if we can get even one person to become a devotee, our efforts will have been successful.
