A mom’s voice is powerful medicine

Next time you feel anxious and tense, like a knot of nerves, instead of scheduling a massage or some time in the sun, you might want to call your mom.

A mother’s voice has the power to settle jangled nerves and maybe even reach through the fog of a coma to bring a brain-injured patient back to consciousness, according to a pair of new experiments.

In a study published Wednesday, researchers from the University of Wisconsin — Madison, asked 61 girls and their moms to take part in an experiment to determine whether a voice could be as comforting as physical hugs and kisses. The girls, ages 7 to 12, were instructed to give a talk and then solve some math problems in front of a panel of judges — a situation, the researchers figured, that would make any kid’s heart pound and blood pressure rise.

We are not all born equal. Some babies are smarter than others.

I know its hard for people to accept, but not all of us are born equal. Each of us have varying capabilities, strengths and weakness. Some of us identify our strengths early, while others never find it. Some don’t get a chance to find out what it is, as they never really allow themselves to experience life and discover for themselves. What are you good at? Below is an amazing feat by a toddler. I must say i still have trouble completing the last layer of the rubrics cube. Life’s truth is that we each have a strength, we must find it and nurture it or be content to being part of the heard, not that there is anything wrong with it.
