Conquer Inferiority

• Formulate and Stamp permanently on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.
• Whenever a negative thought concerning your personal powers comes to mind, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
• Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
• Depreciate every so-called obstacle. Minimize them. Difficulties must not be inflated by fear thoughts.
• Do not be awestruck by other people and try to copy them.
• Remember: Most people despite their confident appearance and demeanor (behavior, conduct), are often as scared as you are and as doubtful of themselves.
• 10 times a day repeat these dynamic words...
• "If God be for us, who can be against us?"
• Make a true estimate of your own ability, and then raise it 10%.
• Believe in your own God-released powers.

Jewellery: You can wear this ring & eat it too

A student of lifestyle and accessory design at the National Institute of Design (NID) here has a unique pill for people faced with sugar levels dropping fast to pregnant women and children in need of energy — edible jewellery. If a diabetic can munch on sugar candies embedded in her ring to keep the level up, a pregnant woman can gorge on the delicious “imli” stored in her pendant.

“These are jewellery, parts of which are edible. They also have compartments, which can store small amount of food items. The jewellery, that I am in the process of creating, can be in gold, silver or any semi-precious metal. The range will have pendants, rings,

and key chains. These accessories will have molded sugar candies in the form of beads or other shapes,” added Kureshi. 

Sugar, in the shape of diamonds, will replace real diamonds in my range of jewellery,” said this NIDian, also a fine arts graduate from MS University. “I am also working on storing sugar, honey and even chocolate in the jewellery. They will be laminated in plastic or wrapped in silver and gold foils. This could also be developed into jewellery for children and pregnant women,” added Kureshi.
