The greatness of an individual lies not in what he accumulates but what he gives. Jesus is great because he suffered on the cross so that we are saved. Gandhi was great as he fought for freedom and equality. Mother Teresa was great as she spent her life serving poor, sick and destitute.
You need not be someone of great means to give. A lamp burns its own existence till the last moment to fight darkness and give light. Tree never asks anything for itself, but give flowers, fruits and shades to all who needs it. This kind of sacrifice is only possible for those, whose heart his filled with love and compassion for others. Their spirit has a passion for serving and an ability to feel pain of others in their own soul. It requires a go-give attitude more than a go-get attitude.
Dashrath Manjhi, a poor, illiterate, landless laborer, who lives in a backward village called Gahlore situated in the sate of Bihar in Eastern India. What a person like him could give to others?
Dashrath worked on a field near the hill that rose near the village. This hill stood between his village and civilization with only a treacherous pass between it. Since most of the cultivable land and shops were on other side of the hill, the poor villagers had to brave the dangerous pass number of times in a day. The authorities kept turning a blind eye towards the problems for decades.
One day, his wife slipped and got injured while crossing the pass on the hill, while bringing lunch for him. The incident disturbed Dashrath so much that he decided to do something about it. He sold his goat, to purchase a chisel, hammer and a rope. And with these simple equipments he set of to dig a tunnel through the mountain, all by himself. He dug for 22 years to create a passage that is 360 ft. long, 25 feet high and 16 ft wide, enough for a vehicle to pass.
People called him mad, but he was a man with a purpose. Today, because of him the life of his fellow villagers has become easier. He has thrown the doors open for the development of his village as the passage reduced the distance between two districts from 50 km to just 8 km. The state government rewarded his achievement by giving him five acres of land.
But his story does not end here. Unfortunately, his wife did not survive to witness the miracle her husband has created. She died of an illness without treatment because of lack of proper medical facilities. So, now he wants to build a hospital on the land he got as reward. After unsuccessful attempts to get assistance from the local government in this regard, he decided to meet the President of India. Since he did not have enough money to buy a railway ticket he walked on foot a distance of nearly thousand kilometers. Somebody rightly said that when dreams are big enough facts don’t count.
This poor, illiterate gentleman, belonging to the most unprivileged class of Indian society is a perfect example of success. His go-give attitude, his compassion, dream, courage, faith in himself, determination and perseverance raises him to level of greatness.
In our mundane life full of rat race for accumulation of wealth and worldly pleasure, let us take out some time to give a bit of ourselves. Let us become a slightly better human being than what we already are. After all the supreme purpose of our lives is to spread happiness and help others and that is the greatest gift of all.

Lamps - The Right Type Of Lamp For Your Room
It’s almost impossible to walk through a home and not see at least one lamp. Lamps are an integral part of home décor and with all of the different types of lamps available everyone can find one that meets their design and lighting needs.
One of the most popular types of lamps is the table lamp. Table lamps are lighting fixtures that are designed to be placed on top of a flat surface. There are many types of lamps that fit into the table lamps category. These include contemporary, candlestick, and trophy lamps. Although all of these types of lamps are considered to be table lamps they are each unique in their own sense of style.
For instance a candlestick lamp normally has a circular base with a tall thin body attached. On top of that body sits a lampshade. Many of these types of lamps have a swivel feature, which means you can move the lamp either to the right or the left depending on where you place it. Many people really enjoy the elegant appearance of this type of lamp.
Other types of lamps that fall into the table lamp category are artistic table lamps. This type of lamp is especially unique incorporating your lighting needs with works of art. You can purchase artistic table lamps that feature different metals as part of the base including iron or bronze. Although these tend to be a bit more expensive than a standard table lamp you should look at them as an investment in not only the lighting of your room but in art as well.
There are also types of lamps that are designed to be placed on the floor. These are called floor lamps and their height normally indicates that’s what they are.
Floor lamps are especially nice for a room where light is needed in a specific corner. These types of lamps can produce enough light to fill a room but some are designed to be spotlights, focusing the beam of light on one area. For people who enjoy reading they often employ the use of this type of lamp. The lamp is placed directly behind their chair and the light shines down allowing them to read without eye strain.
These types of lamps are also available in many different styles. A few examples are a goose neck floor lamp, a tiffany floor lamp, and an adjustable arm floor lamp.
With adjustable arm types of lamps the lighting fixture can be moved as needed. This makes a great investment because these types of lamps can be used in several different locations in the home. Many people purchase a lamp with the intention of using it in a particular space and this can become frustrating if you decide to change the style of the room and the lamp no longer has a space.
Children also have their own types of lamps. Lamps designed for children in mind are a fun way to add light to your child’s room. These types of lamps come in styles for boys and girls. Current cartoon characters, clowns and animals are a few of the different choices available.
As your child grows there are other types of lamps you’ll want to consider for their bedrooms. One is a desk lamp. Desk lamps are a wonderful addition to a child’s room as they begin school. The desk lamp allows extra light while they tend to homework and studying.
It’s obvious that there are types of lamps for every room of your home. They fit into every décor and every budget.

The Lamp – Let There Be Light
Simply put a lamp is a device that generates light, heat or some sort of therapeutic radiation (like the laser ones). The word that derives its roots from Middle English lampe or Latin lampas is one everyday device that can gets taken for granted but can slice through any density of darkness with a flick of the switch.
The humble lamp started out as far back as the Stone Age, historians suggest. Back then it was just a hollow rock, probably filled with absorbent moss or something similar that could be soaked with animal fat. Since then it has seen several modifications and has been improved upon to give it its present form and now the term is used for all types of lighting devices used for illumination. Though it’s shape, fuel used, the wick…all have changed forms, the basic working principle is still the same.
This simple illumination device has been part and parcel of mankind’s collective history and was used in various forms across cultures in ancient times. Egyptians and the people of Central Asia used terracotta saucers, the Greek invented torches, the Romans improvised them with multiple spouts and the Hebrews used the seven-branched candlestick. Most religious ceremonies use a lighting device of some kind because light is a universal symbol of everything sacred. These devices were usually cumbersome but now, you just have to press an electrical switch and there you are!
We use them in our everyday life to illuminate a room, to set a particular mood, to showcase our prized possessions or even to burn the midnight oil. This humble light source is traded in flea markets, dime stores, branded retail houses and even the Internet. Some people collect them others use them to beautify their homes. Whatever the reason, there is always need to let there be light.

LAMP - What is it?
The term "LAMP" on the Internet stands for free software programs that are usually grouped together and are used to run dynamic websites or website servers.
The components of this acronym are the following:
(L) Linux - is the operating system. It has become very popular as an open license operating system. It is UNIX-like in structure, but does not contain any UNIX code since the UNIX operating system is not free software.
(A) Apache - is the Web server. It is an open license server and is credited with being the Web server that spawned the growth of the World Wide Web (WWW). It is the most popular Web host server used on the Internet.
(M) MySQL - is the database server. It is an open source database management system that uses SQL (structured query language) to create, modify, retrieve, and manipulate data in a database.
(P) PHP - is the programming language (sometimes PERL or Python is substituted for PHP). It is open source software. PHP stands for hypertext preprocessor. It was originally developed to create dynamic web pages.
All these software programs are open source which means they can be used free of charge.
When used in combination to create applications, these packages create a Web server infrastructure that has become very common on the Internet.
These programs were developed independently. Because they are free and they work so well together, they have become a popular combination for application development.
Now, when you see a web site host advertise "LAMP hosting" you will know what is being offered.

Your Personal Magic Lamp
Well, here we are in the big bad world of the Internet desperately trying to make our presence felt like the millions of others around the world WITHOUT any success.
But what is it that sets us normal people trying to cash in some money online, from the millionaires the Internet is producing (some 58 millionaires' everyday)!
These people know how to use a secret which I am going to reveal to you.
Why?
Why am I giving away my precious secret?
Because there is NO secret, it's open but hidden!
Confused?
Well read further and you will understand how 'things' work. First of all I want you to know that I'm telling you all this because I like letting people know what I know. In other words, I like letting them know how much they can achieve! I want to share the limitless possibilities that are lying around! I want to show the endless opportunities springing every minute!
Yes that IS true!
The internet moves 7 times faster than our normal physical world and for that reason you got to be 7 times faster yourself in what ever internet business you take up. You don’t wait for opportunities to knock, you hunt for them!
What you are about to learn is very simple but without it you can't achieve your place on the Internet, it can change the way you think! To get successful on the Internet you don't just need hits or traffic. You need to program yourself to receive success on a continuous basis. I mean you just don't need to be successful just once but you must be successful everyday, in fact your success must grow every minute!
But it cannot happen just like that, you need to believe in some basic principles of success so that you automatically reap success every moment. So it's very important to mentally accept some strategies, which are very simple and open, yet hidden to the person who does not seek them. Read further and you will understand everything very clearly.
The universe is abundant and so you can achieve any amount of success, it's a proven fact. All you need is to believe and it shall be given to you. Well to not make it much longer, in simple words the amount of Internet Success you wish to achieve is up to you. No one can guarantee you that except you. What I mean by that is unless you are willing to succeed deep inside you cannot succeed whatsoever; you have to CHANGE it deep inside. For example ask a person if he would like to earn a million dollars, He would surely definitely answer, "YES", right? But deep inside he believes that he cannot earn such a huge sum of money. This is what his conscious mind tells him, so this is what he believes.
Now until and unless he changes that deep feeling inside him, he can never earn a million dollars. Simple as that.
You're personal magic lamp....
Would you believe me if I said that you are having your own magic lamp with a genie to grant you all your wishes?
Well actually you are, in fact everyone is.
BELIEVE me this is true, the genie is your mind and the lamp your head! All you need to do is give it a rub!
I'm not at all joking, your mind is the most powerful tool you have, it has the power to make things and break things. Think about it, without the human mind we would not be here where we are today.
For a better understanding of the human mind, it is divided into two parts. The outer mind or the conscious mind AND the inner mind or the unconscious mind.
Now there is a big a difference between the two parts.
The outer mind or the conscious mind is used by you in your regular life, to make decisions, to understand things around, to experience emotions and everything you do consciously. It has the power to reason or object.
But your inner mind or the unconscious mind springs into action when your outer mind goes to sleep that is at night. Anything that gets imprinted on the inner mind as the truth, it becomes a physical reality. As it does not have the power to reason or object, anything that is made to be real for the subconscious mind eventually becomes real!
You can use this powerful tool to get any amount of Internet Success you want! But for the mind to work for you and fulfill your desires it needs to be supported by your desire to achieve your goal, Your passion towards the fulfillment of your wish, To be a one hundred percent perseverant person and to always believe in yourself and have undivided faith in your work.
Follow the principles and your genie will fulfill your command!

What To Do With A Lamp!
Lamps add light, décor and style to any room in your home. Even a dark corner of a room not used much can benefit from well chosen lamps.
Not only do lamps provide light and brilliance, they look really great.
Originally a lamp was a vessel for holding oil that could be burned through a wick for illumination; the term has been extended to other lighting devices. In Egypt and the Middle East saucer-like terra-cotta lamps were known. The Greeks often used a cylindrical spout for the wick. The Romans used a superior closed type of lamp, often with multiple spouts. The float-wick lamp, in which the wick is supported above the oil, was probably of Egyptian origin; it survived in the West chiefly as a sanctuary lamp.
Lighting with lamps has a long and useful history of helping to illuminate our homes.
Nowadays it’s not necessary to use an actual flame in our lamps, we have more sophisticated methods such as incandescent lamps and tungsten-halogen lamp. Tungsten-halogen lamps use a tungsten filament as the light source, a gas filling that includes a halogen and a quartz bulb.
The halogens prevent lamp walls from darkening as quickly as those of the other incandescent lamps, so more light is available to the task or work surface.
Select from only the best lamps representatives who offer quality, elegance, quick delivery to your home and, of course, great prices!
