WEEK IN BRIEF- 16-21 August, 2010

Quote for the Week:




“Minds are like parachutes-they only function when they are open”- Lord Thomas Dewar

We all know that parachutes are life savers when it comes to mid-air accidents or major air force operations. But if the parachute doesn’t open in time, it could become a bringer of death. It is in this context that the metaphor comes in. Keeping an open mind will help us in gaining and accepting ideas from others. Open mind leads to constructive thoughts and actions rather than destructive ones. If we are narrow-minded, we will end up being restricted and hopeless. Thus an open mind can give a totally new outlook on life.
