,
Whatever a person does, the results will follow him to the farthest reaches. There is nowhere, not on the earth or in the sky, that the results of our deeds will not bear fruit.
- The Dhammapada
Be mindful of the intention. Intention is the seed that creates future. From intention springs the deed, from the deed springs the habits. From the habits grow the
character, from character develops destiny.
From all of us at Seclairer, have a great day!
Safdar I. Chaudhary, MD |

Nature Nook
Bicycles for Clunkers: a real solution for increasing transportation efficiency.
Even more efficient would be having just a few people ride bicycles instead of drive. Bicycling is the most efficient mode of transportation known to man, more efficient than walking. By one measure, a bicycle gets the equivalent of 653 mpg. If the average clunker gets 16 mpg and the owner receives $4,500 to purchase a new 25 mpg vehicle, CFC is paying $500 for each 1 mpg improvement. http://smarterplanet.tumblr.com/ |
