The Thread of Life:

DNA:


The "thread of life", is deoxyribonucleic acid, otherwise known as DNA.
It is the spiral shaped molecule found in the nucleus of cells. Scientists have
known since 1952 that DNA is the basic substance of heredity. This was
hypothesized, and later confirmed by James D. Watson and Francis Crick. They
also know that it acts like a biological computer program over 3 billion bits
long that "spells" out instructions for making the basic building blocks of life.

DNA carries the bodies genetic code, controls the development of an embryo,
is capable of duplicating itself, and is able to repair damage to itself. DNA
can be manipulated to change all kinds of things.
All DNA molecules consist of a linked series of unites called
nucleotides. Each DNA nucleotide is composed of 3 subunits: a 5 carbon sugar
called deoxyribose, a phosphate group that is joined to one end of the sugar
molecule, and one of several different nitrogenous bases linked to the opposite
end of the deoxyribose. There are 4 nitrogen bases called adenine, guanine,
thymine, and cytosine. In DNA adenine pairs with thymine and guanine with
cytosine.
Medicine's ability to diagnose continues to exceed its ability to treat
or cure. For example, Huntington's Chorea is an inherited disease that develops
between the ages of 30 and 45, can be diagnosed before any symptoms appear.
This can be hard for both the individuals with the disease and their family.
There is a 3 billion dollar project underway right now called the Human
Genome Project, a 15 year program to make a detailed map of every single gene in
human DNA. With automated cloning equipment to steer scientists through the DNA,
scientists are finding human genes at the rate of more than one a day. This may
not sound like very much but as technology increases the rate at finding them
will increase.

My insecurities have ruined so many things:

Being insecure is a big plague on a person's life because of a variety of reasons. Insecurity is bred by low self-confidence, a condition that causes a person to not be all that they are capable of. To gain this confidence one must be willing to be courageous enough to explore whom they really are at their heart's level and to be even more courageous by exhibiting to the world that they are with no question or hesitation. 

Being insecure is like a cancer to every relationship that a person chooses to become a part of. Insecurity leads to distrust, and distrust leads to problems such as a lack of passion, and the loss of love. 

Escape from living with the disease of insecurity and commit your life to feeling secure with whom you are. In turn this will affect those you have a relationship with by reassuring them that because you are confident in who you are, they may be able to be confident in who both of you are as a couple.


There will be times in life that we will all experience the desire to just give up on fighting through our hardships. It is these times that are best for building our character, and shaping who we may be able to become in our future. As we continue to grow in life we have to learn the important principle of learning what not to put limits on in our lives. 

If we are willing to limit the amount of work we are willing to put in, then we are willing to limit the amount of growth that we may have reached potentially. Instead of giving up when times get hard, remember that in life there will always be hard times that will try to push us away from our dreams; push harder than life is pushing against you, and keep fresh in your mind all of the reasons that you held on for so long.

Scars & Feelings:

Just because someone is acting out in a manner that you neither like nor appreciate, doesn't mean that you have to act out in a rude manner towards them. In fact, many times it is best to treat those who treat you badly, with kindness, and with a smile. Not only are rude words killed by kind words, many people will feel compelled to change their rude attitudes to a more kind attitude, even if it only lasts for but a moment. 

As the world turns, it seems as though more and more people are living their lives with more stress, and more weight on their backs than ever before. Don't be a part of the problem and add more stress to a person's plate, instead be the person that opens their eyes. Show them that the way they treat people is contagious, and instead of spreading negativity in this tough world, a smile and a few kind words can go so much further!

When Something bad happens.......

There are always going to be bad things that happen in your life, what is the measure of a man, is how he or she responds to the things that happen in their lives. When you think about the greatest beings that walk earth, you realize that those who are great don't get caught up in falling or losing a battle. Those who are great rise to the occasion, and shrug off defeat. 

How many times have you seen a lion complaining or whimpering compared to how many times that you've seen a lion roaring? Winners don't have time to whimper or complain, true winners only have time to do the things that they need to do to be the best. 

So will you be a winner when defeat lingers near?Will you cave in and whine when everyone else around you is. Will you let the bad circumstances in life deter you from victory? Or will you let the overcoming of your obstacles strengthen you?
